They have to be relatable. With that, they can't be a Gary Stu. They have to have constant faults like any other human. That's one reason I have difficulty reading Superman. His few vulnerabilities make him uninteresting to me.

Their strengths and faults have to get pretty close to evening out. One thing I detest in comics is having a character be ambidextrous. I have never met an ambidextrous person, so the fact that a comic character has super powers and can write with both hands is irritating.
