If you are asking about mere mortals who are powerless without special equipment then I have to go with Iron Man.

 

So would I, but doesn't the suit qualify as special equipment, is there a big difference between bionic limbs and armor?

 

I was referring to the fact that if the armor is taken off, you are left with just a mere man. Same thing goes with Batman, take away the suit and utility belt and you have a guy who is well trained in fighting, but just a man nonetheless.

Doesn't Tony have some kind of nanites in his blood now that allow him to control other machines via "psychic" link or some other such BS - thus disqualifying him??

So then, should we be purists here in the sense of "super powered"?

 

If we discount tech, there's pretty much nobody left. So I guess it would have to be true super-powers like mutant powers, powers gained by serum, magic powers, etc. I guess bionic limbs unless they are the product of the above don't count.

Batman has the utility belt and all those other wonderful toys

 

Point.

 

My point was, If you are including Batman, as the orignal question did, then we have to include other forms of mechanical based super heroes such as Iron man.

 

Neither have super powers but both can do stuff that is beyond the average joe due to their money and mental ability to develop great tools for there job (thumbs u

I don't follow the book, but in his appearance/capture/torture in WWH it was mentioned - in fact, I believe it was this control which turned on the satellite beam that engulfed Hulk and that loser Sentry and ended the story.

 

 

I was disappointed, both in the ending and Stark's new "abilities"...
