Wasn't really by admins, but by groups of users a while back. We decided that we want to use PNGs when we can, and if not to use the best quality we think we can get. The Venom and Carnage ones, for example, are not only really good quality PNG images, but they are, for lack of a better term, "timeless" in their appearance, as they show the most iconic image of the character and not the "newest" or the "coolest". The Carnage one was, if I remember correctly, a hot point of discussion a while back that we decided on because the image was A) good quality B) a PNG and C) was an iconic image of Carnage taken directly from one of, if not the most famous Carnage comics ever. I get the reasoning behind your edits, but we want to make sure that the MAIN and FIRST image a user sees on the page is clear and recognizable. There are some pages that have had opposite decisions (for example, on the Joker (DC) page, many people liked the comic art much more than a PNG, myself included, so we went with that one). It mainly boils down to: how will the image look in an infobox and on a category page? That's basically it.
