I suspect a surviving CSA wouldn't have Westerns (less frontier) but would have a strong surviving Southern genre (per "Gone With the Wind").
I do agree, in a Nazi world, Xmen ("zhmen"
) would rep the dominant group: Avengers or Justice Machine, not oppressed minority. In fact, they'd probably be more like "Teen JM" than Xmen as we know them. Sentinels as good guys?
It's also true the U.S. (& less so Canada) were virtually unique in creating superheroes. I have a hunch that's both because the creators were, in the main, Jewish, & because they had the freedom to imagine minority (ie, Jewish) heroes: not for nothing does Superman blend in so easily & nobody notices...
Nor, I suspect, is the oppressed minority theme entirely accidental.
That said, what about Iron Man-type heroes in Germany & Russia? Seems to me the internal market of Russia is big enough.
I suspect a Nazi-controlled country wouldn't tolerate freelances, even less so than the U.S. (where there are actually mask laws in quite a few places, to prevent people going out in public in disguises; they were enacted to counter KKK...)

That's GA Bats, isn't it? Or Rorschach?Batman without his sense of morals.
