Because me Avalon men may be able to go around as imposters of the Archaic, would help with moving around the Order... of course this is up to you.

i realized that Archaic and Avalon both pertain to large and strong humans.

I think its a combination of 'mission' creep, setting perspective, and a little bit of ideological bias(if by ideology I mean whatever construct the writer is trying to tell). OP characters are not always a bad thing, superman for better or worse was kind of stu-y because of his representation of "hope", he is the image of what 'we' strive for.

Same with things like star trek which for all intents and purposes in Gene Rodenberry's image, NONE of the characters were supposed to have internal conflicts, because the idea of Star Trek was the image of what we as a species could become.

The message of Star Trek in all its cheap set, campy glory, was:

"We made it."

Remember the context of the 70's and 80's, when nuclear war was still a very real thing that the greatest powers of the world would get on TV and tell people, "Hug your family, and hope for the best." Such a time of uncertainty that tommorrow just might not exist is enough to dream of a future where we conquered that.

So all-powerful characters with no flaws are good... when they represent a vision.
