They love the imagination part of it.
One of their favorite parts is where I get lazy and say we have to do some sort of Olympic competition against a rival good super hero league. It's a lot easier than thinking up a mission. Usually the competitions are silly ones. Like you have to harvest the honey from a hive of honey bees. Your character has the power of flight and speed and x-ray vision, and your opponent is the Hulk. You calmly harvest the honey, fighting your urge to go fast, and wearing the beekeeper suit and using the smoke. Meanwhile, the Hulk gets stung a few times, gets really pissed off, and smashes his hive. You win.
