superhero question

So as I was watching Spiderman 2 (awesome movie btw)- I was thinking. Why aren't there people out there who are "superhero" types. I'm not saying mutant/flying/magic type of stuff. But more the vigilante type of people (Batman, Punisher,etc). And to specify - I'm not talking about someone like Bernie Goetz.

While I wholeheartedly agree with you - and was expecting this reply - let's stick with what I originally meant.
 
because in the real world they wouldn't last long. the law of probability would be against them unlike in movies where it favors them.

True..but then you don't even hear of people "trying."

maybe it's because most people realize that the real world doesn't work like hollywood movies 😛

and even if some crazy ppl wanted to, where are they gonna get gadgets like batman's?!
 
Because
1) We dont know who's the bad guy and whos not. You just gonna walk around and blast people who LOOK like criminals?
2) You'll be considered a criminal yourself and be wanted. Every Officer Maglite out there will be gunning for you
3) Nobody has the balls
4) Its not Hollywood, you can die. Easily.

Edit, forgot
5) Real world people, unlike Hollywood movies, dont have unlimited bidgets so that we can have an aaprtment and spend the entire day hunting the baddies. Kinda hard to work a 9-5er and still hunt the evil doers at night. And beside,s being a part time vigilante just isnt as suave now is it?
 
Too many reasons too list why there aren't. Most importantly is because we have due justice and a trial by jury. There are no convictions issued on the spot and a sentence given out and executed. There's too much money invovled in trials and all that surrounds them.

That and our government doesn't like it when people do what the government feels is it's job....even if the do-gooder is doing the "right" thing.
 
If anything - I'd have to say that firemen are the closest - even more so than military personel.
