8 Marvel & DC Superheroes Who Have No Superpowers Or Divine Abilities

Not all superheroes have superpowers. Some of them are regular human beings who, using sheer will and hard work have attained superhuman abilities. We take a look at a few of them, like Batman, Iron Man Black Widow, Deadshot, The Punisher, etc.
There are superheroes like Superman and Thor, who have supernatural and divine origins, and therefore, are legit Gods among human beings. Superheroes like these are blessed with awesome superpowers through which they fight evil. © Marvel StudiosBut then, there is a league of superheroes who aren’t exactly blessed this way. They are very normal human beings, people who have trained themselves or have used their intelligence to elevate themselves to superhuman levels, and then fight crime. Superheroes like Batman & Iron Man. © Warner Bros. PicturesWe take a look at 9 superhero characters from the Marvel & DC universes, who have no superpowers or divine abilities but have still managed to elevate themselves to superhuman levels:1. Iron Man © Marvel StudiosOf course, we begin the list with Iron Man or Tony Stark. He obviously lacks superpowers and divine abilities, but thanks to his intelligence, his wealth, and his impressive understanding of weapons and engineering, he is, without a doubt, one of the most powerful superheroes out there.2. Batman © Warner Bros. PicturesBruce Wayne and Tony Stark have similar capabilities, although, Stark is more engineering and scientifically sound. Bruce, on the other hand, is tenacious and covers up his weaknesses, through sheer training and hard work. While Tony’s powers come largely from his suit, For Wayne, the Bat Suit and all the other tech, are mere accessories. With that being said, he became a proper superhuman, through sheer will.Fun Fact: Here’s why we think Batman would beat Iron Man in a fight in the real world.3. Robin © Warner Bros. PicturesWe’re sort of pissed that Robin hasn’t had a solo film yet. His story truly has a lot to offer. We were actually excited when we saw Joseph Gordon-Levitt take up the mantle from Batman in The Dark Knight Rises. 4. Black Widow © Marvel StudiosBlack Widow is another “simpleton” with superhuman abilities. She has been one of the most savage characters in the MCU, and it will be really interesting to see how her first solo film plays out. Her origin story is something that piques a lot of interest.5. Hawkeye / Green Arrow © Marvel StudiosWe’re keeping Hawkeye & Green Arrow in the same bracket here because they are the same, ability-wise. With that being said it is actually astounding to see someone never miss their mark, no matter how difficult the shot is. © Warner Bros. TelevisionAlso, it is pretty fun watching someone master the bow & arrow to such a great extent, that they stand out in proper gunfights.6. The Punisher © NetflixThe Punisher just had to be on this list. He is the archetypal superhuman and a supersoldier. Technically speaking, he is an anti-hero, rather than a superhero, but we will still add him to this list. If you know nothing about the Punisher and have been living under a rock all this time, we suggest you watch the TV series on Netflix. Or better yet, read some of the comics. Without a doubt, he is one of the most brutal human beings in either of the universes.7. Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier) © Marvel StudiosAfter his “death,” Bucky was actually brainwashed and trained by the Russians to be the ultimate soldier a human being could be. The only “unnatural” thing about his body and abilities is the prosthetic arm that he uses. Otherwise, all of his powers and abilities come through his training. As for his ability to not age, he was frozen for decades at a time, in between the clandestine missions for which he would be sent, which meant biologically, he stopped ageing for decades at times.8. Deadshot © Warner Bros. TelevisionAgain, there is nothing supernatural or divine about Deadshot’s ability. However, through sheer training, and skill, he is on a different level with guns. Besides that, his skills include exceptional tracking and espionage capabilities. For sure, he is one of the deadliest people on the list.
