How many of you have wanted to be superheroes?

Train your body, mind and soul.

Body: Work out 6 days a week doing weights and cardio. Learn Akido, Jujitsu, Caipera, greco wrestling, taekwando, street defense, and any other method you have time for.

Mind: Take forensics classes, chemistry, bioology, anatomy, calculus and anything else that would broaden your scope. Take law classes as well.

Soul: Take a trip to nature where you can be one with nature. Go live in a forest for a month without any technology and human communication. The insight you'll gain will be priceless.

After 2 years of doing the above, when you have reached a physical and mental peak, you will be ready for your initial street duties.

First, equip yourself. buy light kevlar, hockey goalies mask, shin guard, wrist and elbow pads, a helmet, and spiked shoes. Buy everything in black as you want to blend in. Then get some darts and ninja stars, a dagger, and a PDA.

Once you've geared up, go to the most dangerous neighborhood you know at midnight and start beating the crap out of people you think look suspicious.

Good luck, I'm on my 3rd year of vigilantism and I'm still alive and fine. Don't listen to the other geeky losers on this board, they dont have the balls to do what you and I choose to do.

You sneaky dog, you... 😖hifty:

Isn't masterbruce already classified as a superhero?
Or does he want to know if he can start his OWN Avengers?

🙄

Bigbran, Masterbruce can't be classified as a Superhero.

That's like classifying the Living Tribunal as 'a superhero'.

Though if he was a superhero, what would his name be?

😖hifty:

Peak Human? Crowbar? The Masked Mugger? Captain Ski-Mask?

Does this mean that masterbruce is like the Power Gem, Sould Gem, and Mind Gem?

I think he was peak human Pre-Gems... now he is like Jeebus.

I've always wanted to have superpowers. Although superheroism never really interested me.

The allure of power is considerable and I could sure go for a bit Doc Strange's

ive always wanted to be a villain and take over the world

I'm not a comic book character (at least I'm not aware of) so this may be closed.

In all honesty, I probably will lose to all the street levelers in comics (maybe I can take Robin on a good day, assuming I'm stronger than him and he is too overconfident). But they're just too good and unrealistic, they can dodge machine gun fire, I can't.

I'll be the first one to admit that I'm not the best fighter out there. I'm no where near Bruce Wayne's level in either knowledge of the martial arts or physical prowess. I have however maximized most of my physical abilities as much as my god given genes have allowed, so I'm no slouch either. I'm certainly close to peak human in the real world, not Captain America level peak human.

I am however gifted with extreme intelligence. My mind is my best weapon and I keep it sharp. This is a huge advantage against the dimwitted thugs that I usually encounter. They often underestimate me because I don't look very intimidating, therefore they fight with less effort and less smarts and I take that into my advantage and usually clean their clocks. The 2 or 3 times when I wasn't so lucky, I was able to get out without being too badly injured (just broken nose, black eye, some internal bleeding) but I was prob fortunate.

My success is that I account for every possibility in a situation. Therefore if I do decide to use force in a situation, i already have a contingency plan if I am unable to subdue my enemy.

But yeah, I would lose to every streetleveler in comics.

Notice he mentions his 'god-given' genes. 😖hifty:

And, his secret identity apparently involves losing to ants. (Robin?)

When I was younger, I had dreams of being a superhero. I wished I had superpowers like Superman and daydreamed of being a famous and beloved hero.

As I got older, I realized superpowers were not possible, and I wanted to model myself more after human heroes like Batman or Iron Man. I used to think I would be a billionaire one day and build my own suit of high tech armor and stuff.

So, my question is, how many of you have daydreamed yourself as superheroes?

I was Wolverine. 😮

Fixed. 😉

Um... everyone here has. That's what started this whole mess...

I'm sure all of us have. Hell I always bump the real super powers thread when I remember about it.

If the science of the world today could enhance things physically it would be our senses, our strength, and maybe our speed.

Tiger Woods has bionic eyes (senses I am sure can be enhanced in various ways. Training can be done to enhance them, and I am sure science can cut out the middle man *training*.)

I have seen a science channel episode about what superpowers we could give or use, and the ONLY one that was even relatively close was the Hulk. Not that someone became green or anything, but they created a type of "steroid" (for lack of a better word) that made you massively jacked yet there are no known side effects.

Speed, I dont know how it could be manipulated, but I am sure it could be 😬 I mean a human was once tested (in Fight Science, which I recommend any MA fan to watch), and he punched 4 times faster than a snake strike.

I mean MA can make you >>>regular humans, but how many of us actually do MA? Who here can claim that a kick (more like a knee to the chest) can pack the same force as a 35 mph car? One Muay thai fighter can. Science could help create "super beings" like these without the training, and I'm sure the army would try it.

MY personal favorite would be someone trying to create a realistic Ironman suit. The hardest thing would be getting a realistic battery for the thing, but current technology would allow someone to dress in weapons. If you could mobilize it without clumsiness the rest would be easy. Computers, cameras, and weapons can do most of the work from there. Also, last I heard MIT was creating a suit that would bend light to approach invisibility, create an immediate cast to a broken bone, and store up kinetic energy so that you could leap really high. Many things like this could be attacked to this type of project. If someone had the money I am sure SOMETHING like this could be pulled off 😬

Now if you could integrate the two (think Spartans from Halo) I think that would be the closest thing we can achieve today. Not perfectly, or inexpensive as of right now, but its the closest thing I can think of.

Things like flight, bullet proof skin, spider sense's, and heat vision are not realist, but I am sure we have all dreamt of it.

I however would love to be an enhanced human in one of those suits. It would be kick ass.

Personally, I was always more of a teenage mutant ninja turtle's kid than a superhero kid 😄

TURTLES IN HALF SHELL! 😱

Anyway , yes I've occasionally thought about getting super-powers and in every mental scenario I always end up abusing them in some way or another. Telekinetic flinging stuff out of my way , crushing people who piss me off to death etc etc.

I don't think his suit would stop bullets or explosives effectively.

Honestly to this day superpowers are one of the two things I want more than anything else and would do almost anything for.

What's the other thing?

How did you get into that?

Running away.

Or hide.

Flight? ... not yet.

Bullet proof skin? .... body armour

Spider sense? .... maybe some type of radar system with a display built into a vsior

Heat vision? ... why bother ... just go buy a flamethrower or a welding torch

I suspect LSD.
