Your favorite Super Hero who isn't a mutant and has NO actual "super powers?"

[Miles Archer]

Basically ruling out Superman, all of the X-Men and their gazillion offshoots, or any students bitten by radioactive spiders. No scientists bombarded by gamma rays, no Norse Gods.

We're talking your basic male or female in a suit. That's IT.

Most obvious choice would be Batman, I guess.

My own favorite would be Iron Man. Yours?

[RandySF]

1. Moon Knight

[MustLoveBeagles]

2. Mine would be Ralph Hinkley

[Gothmog]

3. Green Arrow

[BarbaRosa]

4. Beatrix Kiddo.

[Xipe Totec]

5. Calzontzin from Los Supermachos

[sl8]

6. It's a toss-up between The Shoveler and The Blue Raja.

[SuprstitionAintthWay]

9. Ha! I remember them.

I think The Shoveler might've been my favorite.

Was that the movie with the superheroine with Invisibility powers... but they'll only work if nobody's looking at her? Brilliant, that power. She'd be my actual favorite... but I guess we must (?) assume she has the superpower.

So yeah, then, William L. Macy's hangdog The Shoveler. I laugh just thinking about him.

[uriel1972]

37. It was the boy...

The Young woman was the Baby Bowler, with her dad's skull in the bowling ball.
I know too much

[SuprstitionAintthWay]

39. That's right. And, if I recall, Mr. Furious' only "power" was... becoming furious?

We need a sequel in which Mr. Furious battles President Furious Complete Idiot.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. First Thing I Thought Of Was Mystery Men

That movie was a hoot. "I didn't kill anybody, i was standing over here."

[4139]

7. Would have to have been either Zorro or Tarzan

Update: ZORRO!
https://m.

[Polybius]

8. Batman

That counts I suppose.

[Phentex]

44. It hasn't been that long since I learned Batman has no actual bat qualities...

other than those that are man made. I was so disappointed. I am unimpressed with him now.

[Polybius]

45. Be more impressed!

He had to work hard for his abilities.

[First Speaker]

10. Hawkeye...

...still have his original appearance--Tales of Suspense #57, September 1964. In good condition, too... ...incredibly cool possession...

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

11. John Constantine

The original Alan Moore one. I don’t know who this imposter is in the New 52 universe.

[DinahMoeHum]

12. Wonder Woman.

Amazons train intensely for their abilities.

Throughout the decades, since the 1940s. . .

[StatGirl]

13. There's always Karate Kid from the Legion of Superheroes (NT)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

[A HERETIC I AM]

18. ......

[PennyK]

29. Mine too! n/t

[JCMach1]

15. No love for Dr. Strange?

[Rizen]

16. I'd say Batman but...

he has the power of plot armor. Especially when with other superheroes, Batman is one of the worst offenders for plot armor and sometimes a healing factor.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

17. The Voter

Through a series of not at all complicated steps, he has the power to change history.

I thought I saw him this morning, but it was just my reflection in a mirror.

It turns out that we almost all have that power.

[zanana1]

20. That was great! nt

[A HERETIC I AM]

19. I suppose Underdog is right out, eh?

If we forget most of your parameters, we could just assume he is an incredibly confident Beagle, can't we?

[sl8]

24. He hasn't been much use ever since the FDA crackdown on his so-called "super energy pills". n/t

21. Captain America

He had the Super Soldier serum, but that only makes him as strong, fast, etc., as a human can possibly be.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

22. Popeye!

[SuprstitionAintthWay]

34. That's a great Popeye gif. When he finishes with Bluto, cartoon villain Cheeto should be next.

Popeye's like a prototype Hour Man, but spinach is his Miralco pill.

[Kaleva]

25. Dogwelder

so many issues with this guy.

"Dogwelder is a member of Section 8, a "superhero" team led by delusional superhero wannabe Six-Pack, a supporting character in the comic book series "Hitman".

Dogwelder is a mysterious and likely disturbed individual who never speaks. His face is never revealed; always hiding behind a welding mask. All we know of Dogwelder and his methods are that he seems to live in an alley, he sets traps for stray animals, has a supply of dead dogs (perhaps just puppies) and he fights evil by pouncing upon evildoers and welding a dog to their face."

[Thyla]

26. The Ghost who walks!

[SuprstitionAintthWay]

35. 1st.long-underwear-costumed comic book hero (abt 1936)

And 1st to reach 1000 issues. In Australia... and they included a lot of newspaper strips reprints. Aussies do luv the Phantom!

Nice choice of cover.

[voteearlyvoteoften]

27. Obama

Hey he wears a suit and he’s my hero😎👍🏻🇺🇸

[exboyfil]

28. Ozymandias

"Sacrifice millions to save billions."

"I'm not a comic book villain. Do you seriously think I would explain my master stroke to you if there were even the slightest possibility you could affect the outcome? I triggered it 35 minutes ago."

[Dave Starsky]

30. You mean Ozymandias?

Oxymandias DID have super powers. The power of clean--OXI Clean!

[exboyfil]

31. Yes

Thanks for the correction.

[trof]

32. Sherlock Holmes

He wore the deerstalker cap and that caped coat.

[IrishEyes]

33. I like Hawkeye.

No super powers. Just a guy who is really good at what he does.

[SuprstitionAintthWay]

36. Hit Girl's abilities supposedly were all from Big Daddy's training

but they sure looked super.

Great character but a little extra Suspension of Disbelief is needed for her.

[MissMillie]

38. my mother

6 kids, 2 foster kids. A full-time job. Smart, loving, attentive.

Supporting cast (that's the wrong term): my dad. He worked 80 hours/week to keep us all afloat.

When the kids were all in school, my mom went to work so my dad didn't have to work as much.

They both did what they had to do.

Not only that: they loved each other and showed all of us kids what love is supposed to look like.

Mom is now 84. Dad is 87.

They don't have kids to take care of anymore, but they take care of each other.

[JuJuYoshida]

40. Howard the Duck lol kidding, it's Katana

[SuprstitionAintthWay]

41. Suicide Squad movie wasn't so great, but a sequel featuring just

Harley, Katana, and Enchantress would be something I could see being fun.

Warner Studios, take note.

[red dog 1]

42. "Teflon Man"

Donald J. Trump - Nothing ever sticks to him & he never has to pay for his evil deeds
(However, he may be a mutant)

[hurl]

43. Bicycle Repairman!

See how he uses a spanner to tighten that nut!

[sarge43]

46. This man. No powers or suit. Just memories and courage.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

47. The Watchmen (I think?)

Except for Dr. Manhattan, of course.
