These talents and skills demonstrate that his heroism goes far beyond his superpowers.

War Machine: A Medal-Winning Veteran

Even Captain America could be considered a heroic figure without his superpowers. His heroism stems from his unwavering moral compass and unyielding spirit.

The Hulk: An Irony in Heroism

The Hulk, another notable character, embodies a paradox. Many argue that his heroism is ironical, largely due to the fact that his transformation is a result of Bruce Banner’s courageous act to save Rick Jones. His predefined state as the Hulk would not exist without his humanity.

Batman: The Best Example of a Hero without Superpowers

Batman, the Dark Knight, stands as the most compelling example of a hero without superpowers. His defining features include:
