Would Bane be considered "super"??
do you have to be born a "super" or can you become one?

Spider man became a super.. You don't have to be born into it. I would consider Bane a super-villain yes. Isn't he apart of the SSSS?

HAH!!! I caught you in your own words... Bane is only super becuase of the steroid Venom... a product of TECHNOLOGY!! :laugh:

Yes, if Batman were to INJECT himself with it, then he would be super. >_< Just as if he were to get blown up and have a chest reactor, he would be super. But he has none of the above.

but there is no proof that he's NOT meta.

What would qualify him has super?

I think this line is getting a little blured .. Does being a "metahuman" make a superhero or can a person with superior tech become a superhero too ? Or are you saying that the person with superior tech ... the tech has to somehow modify his physiology to make him a superhero ?

The technology has to modify his physiology to make him a superhero. Batman carries gadgets and is very technology suave; however, nothing alters him.

By the true definition he is not a Superhero...really he is just a vigilante. That being said, in a lot of people's eyes he is the true superhero because even without super powers he saves the day! LOL

^^ THIS!!

Love it. Batman would tear Superman apart, but that's not debatable- it's already happened and even Superman admitted it. Superman is badass too and one of the most symbolic characters in any comic; however, Batman's got this.

Yeah, we all know who would "top" in that relationship...

*high five* we made the same joke.

*twin powers ACTIVATE* I totally missed that you'd said it.

You know how lame Ant Man is? He is still a super hero.

What would qualify him has super?

like i said earlier - he and Lex are on par for intelligence. it's been foreshadowed in real canon (and was canon in Smallville, if you like that pretty drivvel) that Lex's intelligence is Meta. it can be argued that Bruce's is too.

plus, you can't tell me that his level of -pardon the pun- batsh!t crazy obsession isn't Meta of some variety.

You have a point.
The character Sheldon on Big Bang Theory said that to be Batman he would only need more capital funding.
Think of Batman like most characters in Watchmen. They are not "magical" but they are at an extreme of ability.

Nope - I don't get it.

Bio-tech (be it electronic implants - Tony Stark, of physical enhancement - Captain America) = super hero
Exo-tech (Anything not physically part of you) = You ain't super


What was the verdict on green lantern?

I'm still going to disagree that Iron Man counts if Green Lanterns don't count. Both of them would be useless without their piece of technology. And, in fact, Iron Man's reactor isn't even alien technology - he made it himself. The reactor doesn't give him super powers either, it's just a huge energy source that powers things around him (aka his suit). Had he not needed it to survive, he could have easily made one and just put it into the suit.

Sorry, but Iron Man definitely falls into the same category as Batman.

He is a vigilante. I thought everyone knew that.

Freakazoid is always a superhero in my book.

I didn't catch it earlier, sorry Personally, I don't consider Batman's intelligence to be super at all. I think a lot of people will agree with me there.

Green Lantern is now Parallax right? He's super-villain. Suck it. I hate DC, lol. Are you going to argue that Spider Man is not a super hero as well?

I'm gonna pick up my 3 year old from school- continue arguments please This is actually fun to me.

and i understand the reason that DC never even wants to foreshadow that he is Meta. doesn't mean that the argument can't be made. IF the only way for Lex to be that smart is for Lex to be Meta, THEN Bruce would also have to be Meta.

I think Green Lantern is a role, not even a specific person....

Anyway, my point is its all a big grey area and as such I'm happy to call Batman a superhero just because he wears a cool costume and beats up super villains.
