I've recently been going through a re-watch of the my collection of Superhero movies both film and animated, brought on by the interminable wait until season 4 of Grimm. I was quite surprised by how many of them I had, way too many to list here, but I came to an interesting realisation, my favourite 'heroes' aren't of the meta human variety or aliens. My favourites are:
1. Batman
2. Ironman
3. Punisher though Captain America almost got in here
As you can see no superpowers here, simply, brains, training, determination, discipline and money. The only reason I can come up with why those heroes and not the so called super powered heroes is, though the characters are far fetched, each one is not beyond the bounds of believability and therefore the little boy that lives in my head still thinks he can grow up to be the Batman broodingly watching over Gotham, or waging a one man war on the criminal scum of New York city SAW in one hand M32 grenade launcher in the other, or taking on the Hulk in my new Mark 38 armour that I just managed to whip up between pissing off Nick Fury and taking out a supermodel :p and still trying to convince the trusty Pepper to go out with me .
Last thought, I just noticed, they are really broken people, I don't know if this is a prerequisite for comic book heroes, but it appears to be for me to like you .

Doctor: You betrayed me … betrayed my trust. You betrayed our friendship, you betrayed everything that I’ve ever stood for. You let me down!
Clara: Then why are you helping me?
Doctor: Why? Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?
