I'm just wondering. There's Batman for example. He has no super powers at all. Yet he is one. I guess I'm saying, do you think a rich person who is a master at Marshall Arts can really become a Superhero like Batman? Or is it just all fiction? I think that it might be possible. Just buy a Bulletproof suit, Spend money on something to get around, and if your a master at thinking/problem solving and martial arts, then you can do it. What do you guys think? Plauisble? or Inplausible?

That's why I liked the movie Kickass.

Some random dude becoming a superhero and getting his ass beat.

Yeah me too. It seemed like that would really happen in real life. But what I'm saying is can a guy that is a millionaire (Like Bruce Wayne/Batman), A master at various forms of martial arts, and a really good problem solver/thinker really be succesful at becoming a super Hero? If you had money, you could afford items that you could use to protect/defend yourself and also do a good beatdown on the enemy.

if you define superhero as someone who saves lives, I think policemen, firemen, doctors, etc, should qualify.

I think the definition would be someone who saves lives outside the law and fight and stop crimes better than goverment services.

Jesus already did.

Billions of people know about him and in a way he changed everything.

Sadlt though I would still be Batman..I think we all have it in us to change the world or our surrondings..And like that one person said..chances are like kickass we will get our asses kicked..Still though change doesnt come easy..It only took one man to change everything.

Considering you can't really dodge bullets, I'd say no.

Yeah, and seeing as how body armor is not nearly as impervious as people think it is, you can't cover yourself completely and even if you did you wouldn't be able to actually fight, and seeing as how many of Batman's gadgets are completely impossible to make in real life... Not gonna happen.

Also, martial arts pretty much takes years of study to get to the point where you can weild off several people in a brawl. Even then you're pretty much screwed if one gets in a good hit.

The solution? Buy a tank.You would be pretty safe from the average gangster. Your main problem would be trying to convince homeland security not to bomb you.

No not really since Martial arts are useless against someone with a firearm... And what is the point of killing a few criminals? The problem wont go away so its pointless spending personal money on it..

No. Most of Batman's gadgets are unrealistic and cant be built which would make it harder to be a superhero and bullet proof vests doesn't mean you are invincible to bullets when wearing one. If someone tried they would probably die while trying to stop a crime. Thankfully, cops are a lot smarter in real life they than how they are portrayed in stuff like Spider-man or batman. The police, firefighters, soldiers and maybe doctors are the real superheroes.

No. Why? Because people will get too tired to do the job. In movies, you only see one bad thing going on or a couple. In reality, there are millions and your call signal/phone will be ringing off the hook. If you want to be a superhero, say good bye to having a fun life.

No. Because people having these things called "guns" which shoot things called "bullets" which can break a thing called a "sound barrier" and end up doing a thing called "killing you". To summarize guns+bullets= Superhero dead.

Unless people start devoloping super powers, no. Otherwise they'd just be heroes which we already have as others have said. Besides, even if someone was a hero, taking the law into your own hands is against the law. Or else the hero would be sued by the villain and lose. It's just the way it works nowadays.

Bringing up a post that's one year and nine months old is the kind of persistence we need on this force, Jiblansky. Keep up this work, and you'll be detective in no time.
