Okay here's mine.[B]Batman
Like ours, this Bruce Wayne's parents were gunned down in front of his eyes. But unlike ours, this Bruce Wayne didn't perfect his body and became predator of the night. Instead, he started to perfect his mind in every possible area, and with use of his money and power his money gave to him, he went to politics. He was a smart political opponent, practically undefeatable, and he gained more and more power in the United States. And he finally, after six years of political battles, he rose to the position that everyone wants. He became the President of United States, and swore to make it the safest and more peaceful country in the world.
Using all means available to him, he gained access to most top secret programs of the government. One of them was project nicknamed "Superman". Many years ago, about on the same year when President himself was born, an alien rocket landed on Kansas and killed an married couple when it hit their car. government equipment registered the landing as soon as it happened, and within half a hour from the landing, they were there. They found an human-like alien child inside of the rocket. After many tests, they found out that he was much stronger, faster and durable then humans. The child was kept in special environment where scientists studied his amazing powers - he even could fly. Finally, after five years of constant study, reports deemed that if the child would go rogue, he could potentially destroy the entire humanity. So he was put in stasis.
The President found out about this. For long, he had wanted to have something efficient which would keep his citizens safe from any crimes or other troubles. So, using the genetic material of the alien, scientists cloned numerous clones of him and started to test them. The powers in clones were much weaker then in the original subject, but they still had all the same powers, only to a lesser degree. Their brains were modified with treatments that gave them unquestionable loyalty to the President. The perfect peacekeeping force was created, and since they wore black costumes and cape whose nullified every sound they made, made them radar-invisible and pratically made them melt in shadows so they would be undetectable in dark, they were dubbed "Batmen" by the public.
Now, fifteen years from that, President Wayne is still in power. The people of United States simply do not want to remove him, and the President himself doesn't want to resign either. United States is practically crime-free, with Batmen (there is about half a million of them by now) eliminating every criminal and threat effectivelly. President Wayne has been dubbed "Batman" by the public, since the whole idea of Batmen came from him, and they are directly under his control if he wishes so. The closest associate of the President is his closest friend and bodyguard, Richard Grayson, who just might be the most dangerous man in the world when it comes to fighting (and killing) techniques.Here, I made Micro Heroes:

A young man offered to become a guinea pig for chemical tests to gain enough money to support his frail Aunt.
This man underwent years of steroids and combinations of various physical enhancements to become stronger, faster and have better agility and reflexes the world has ever seen.
More testing showed he had developed a form of extra sensory perception. He could almost feel, through his enhancements, the rhythm of the his immediate surroundings by his brains quick analysing of the environment he is in. Through honing of this ability he is able to perfect it into becoming a warning or alarm sense. He also could use these abilities to harness part of the attraction forces within his body and through some focus can attach himself to his immediate surroundings.
Using his enhanced intelligence he set out to create a pair of advanced polymer grappling hooks with remolding capabilities. After a few years and with a little help from the project that gave him his enhancements he was successful in creating the devices.
After the horrific death of his frail Aunt he realised he now had abilities which could help others from losing their loved ones. He decided to take a symbol that would scare criminals or those that got in the way. That of a spider.
I did a Captain Marvel one which turned him into a much darker character... and here it is:
Teen junkie Will Batson was one day hiding in an old dump when a lighting bolt struck neaby, leaving a buring crater. as he heard police coming in search of him, Will hid in the crater and suddenly looked up at the night sky and saw the starts forming one golden word and he spoke it aloud:
"Shazam!"
And he was instantly transformed into a flly grown man! He wore a dark hooded cloak, underneath wwhich was a deep red oipen necked top with a white thunderbolt across it. He also wore deep read trousers (pants) and black boots. He was granted asmazing powers: the wisdom of Solomon, strength of Hercules, stamina of Atlas, power of Zeus, courage of Achilles and speed of Mercury! At first he used his powers to get rich, permanently in the guise of Captain Marvel. But one day he met an old man who explained Will was granted his gift to save others and then revealed to him his mother, mouring Will's "death", for Will had not returned for over a week. Suddenly Will reealised he had to help people and became Will, keeping to the laws as a far better son, but when night fell, he would speak the word "shazam" once more and Captain Marvel would return to save innocents.
However, will's junkie friend, adam, had also been at the dump and chose the path of evil without the old man;'s words to guide him...
I also did Sentinel, Ion and Green Lantern ones if that's any good...
Black Adam redesigned:
Adam Kain, Will Batson's friend, was also at the dump and when he saw Will enter the crater and Captain Marvel emerge, he crept in and was granted similar, but greater, powers! He became the mysterious Black Adam, wearing his own costume that he designed with his power... a black hoody and jeans! The hoody had a red thunderbolt on the back. Adam set out to defaet Will and become a "God" without the old man's guidance!

isn't bruce wayne in danger of being one of them- (we live in a perfect world) sort of like in aeon flux or vendeta??
Actually, USA is the only place where this is used, so only USA is the perfect place, other countries still have their own problems. Even though Wayne is a powerful man, he doesn't hold power in other countries. And he is the guy who controls all this, so he isn't in danger of being one of them. He really can't be fired from his position, because he has secretely assigned so that the Batmen have been programmed to believe that Wayne is their supreme commander. So, no revolutions or anything. You can't wrestle the control of his own personal peacekeeping troops from him. And without Batmen, USA (Since they have grown to accustomed that Batmen are their army force) isn't nearly as powerful country anymore. Batman, in some sense, IS United States.

What if a main conflict was, if there was ever a story to go along with it, an uprising within the people? Batman (Wayne) is getting a bit too power-hungry, and citizens begin to regret this feeling of oppression.
And, what if this uprising was lead by the supers of the country? Possibly... lead by the one and only Superman, who's been locked up and treated as a lab rat for his entire life? 😖hifty:
That could certainly make for an interesting story... just my two cents, though. 😄
The Bat-Man
Young Bruce Wayne was out on a joyful night when his parents were gunned down in front of his very eyes for what meager amoutn of money they had. Being placed within the care of his loving uncle Alfred , Bruce grew into a healthy young man, though the desire for revenge still burned within him , he sought a way to inspire fear within those like fear had been placed in him at that very night.
He wished to go on a training journey , to hone and craft his mind and body so he could become a force of justice within his city , so no one would have to suffer as he did. Unfortunately the Wayne's were a rather poor family, scraping life by the skin of their teeth.
In need of cash quickly to fund his trip he went into medical testing , the brightest of gotham having many a untested formula ready to perhaps save mankind from the constant debilitating diseases that riddled our world.
The first few injections passes through Bruce's system with nary a problem until the seventh injection came. A supposed cure for Leukemia generated from a single globule of Bat plasma , their bodies being able to handle different blood types and problems.
Bruce suffered in agony for several days until he finally mutated into a horrible bat like humanoid , although his once skinny frame was now a wall of muscle . Bruce hid-away in a large pot-hole he discovered at the end of his Uncles back garden , the darkness comforting to him. The only person knowing of his new existence was was his uncle , who came occasionally with food for his nephew.
Soon enough though this 'bat-man' could stand the dark-little hole in the ground and escaped into the glittering metropolis that was Gotham city.
Still the same person on the inside though Bruce couldn't tolerate crime , and viciously attacked the first mugger whom he saw.
After a few weeks of this gothams protector came to light , as those would dare attack the city knew in fear of the predator that lurked within.
