Captain Kirk was leading an integrated space ship challenging our sense of the world, Batman and Bond, ordinary men fighting to save the world. Elvis, the guy with the moves that made all the ladies swoon. Not a whiny loser among them (okay Burt Ward's Robin's outfit was a questionable choice). These clowns admired the guy who told them that they are superior even though everyone else sees them as failures. Hitler was worse at everything other than giving a rousing speech than the generals, than Himmler, etc. These clowns aren't able to succeed on their own merits, and have to buy in to the narrative that they are just naturally better since they can't actually demonstrate being better in any fashion.
