My opinion is that real-life superheroes must have abilities beyond the average person. A former special-ops soldier acting as a vigilante would be a real-life superhero or someone that has developed technology to help defeat villains. Normal people with no special skills are not real-life superheroes. Most of these people seem to be either crazy or they are seeking attention.

The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

And yet when people make characters like that in game, they get upset when you make fun of them >_>

I have said the same before, many times.

Most normal people lack the training needed to come out alive in these types of situations.

Now a former special forces operative, FBI or CIA Agent, former military or the like, I wouldn't worry about as much, as they've more than likely been up against much more than some common street punk, and have the training to ensure they aren't taking on more than they can handle.

I'm curious as to why the link was removed, but I am afraid to ask in case my question gets removed. Some things are not meant to be known I guess.
