It's really difficult to fathom because we've always been top of the food chain...

My guess:

He would probably be treated like a nuke that could go off anytime.

People may try to move away as far as possible, spread out or build underground shelter.

Nations leaders would try to assess the threat on their own and draft treaties/contracts with the being.

Due to uncertainty in the future, economies collapse.

Things could turn around if the superman is consistently good and has good PR, but not until after many years and people know exactly what he is and where he comes from.

Kind of nodded at during All Star Superman.

And Superman: The Animated Series.

Garth Ennis obviously hates superheroes. And has a low opinion of humanity.

He still has his moments thjough

Garth Ennis' work on Hellblazer and The Preacher are some of my favourite writing in comics. They're vitriolic, sure, but they have a real heart at the core. Hell, Hitman is a lot of damn fun and his Dredd/2000AD stuff veers from charmingly cheeky to downright badass (I don't care what anyone says, Judgement Day was awesome).

The Boys though is simply mean for the sake of it. Kind of like Mark Millar's mid-to-late stuff.

The Boys is a middle finger to the comic book industry, not the concept of superheroes.

It's awful, is what it is.
