    So Im just after watching Iron Man (the 1st one) and I started thinking to myself has anyone actually tried to be a super hero before (we all know about the vigilantes such as the IRA and RAAD, but those guys have a other reasons for doing what they do).. but has there ever been just some real do gooder out there who has attempted such a thing.

    This topic has probally been covered a million times but hay Im bored, what do you think is it even possible??

    The film Unbreakable with Bruce Willis kinda shows what a super hero would be like in real life (to an extent). He works, has a family and when he's fighting bad guys he has no guile at all, much more raw than Superman/Batman. Having said that he does seem to have some super powers which isn't so lifelike.

    The Dark Knight also shows a realistic side to wannabe crime fighters - that is, people wearing hockey pads and then getting killed without really accomplishing anything.

    Doctor: Mayor West, you have Lymphoma.
    Mayor: Oh My.
    Doctor: Probably from rolling around in that Toxic waste. What in God's name were you trying to prove?
    Mayor: I was trying to gain super powers.
    Doctor: Well that's just silly.
    Mayor: Silly yes ... Idiotic ... yes.!
