Is Super-Heroism Possible?

[donaldthe3rd]

That does seem like the best way to do it.

ou guys seem to be young and nieve. im not trying to eign on your parade ,but lets throw in reality here its just not possible at this point. We aimply do not have access to the technology. the best you can be at this point is an informant to the cops.

the technology batman hasi n the comics is proably still in the early developments and will not be avaliable for at;east 15 years.

your only other options is super powers which maybe possible with advance science. you should check out some science forums and try and get ahead start.

and then transportation how will you get around. you have to be able to get to a crime scene dismantle all the bad guys before the cops show up.

the tech is just not here yet.

Batman really isn't that advanced at all. The exploding Batarang I could see being the only thing still in development. And maybe the physics breaking Batwing, but that's it. Everything else exists.

 

[donaldthe3rd]

Im sorry Mikestylez but half of the words that were in your post were hardly readable. Ex: ts ot just possible at his point.

 

[echostation]

preventative rather than reactionary... that's the key that's needed here, the ****in problems with society is everyone wants a reactionary cure to everything... instead of just thinking simply and just PREVENTING The damn problem in the first place, a lot of which are self inflicted... go that route, help with prevention, rather than getting yourself stupidly killed or your ass most likely kicked in an attempt to "fight crime." if anything you'll be joining a jail love fest as a festooned man ***** to one of the big men in the cell.

I could understand it just fine, and English isn't even my first language.

I like people who make it to this stage of thinking. It's progressive.

Though, you have to be careful. Thinking this way is great. But they'll demand the "How?"

oh really and do u have easy access to these things. you have a gadget rope that you can explode while free falling off buildings doesany one have it. the military does not even have full body armor that can with stand multiple shots. if you get shot your down and even sometime the bullets go through. they dont bounce off you why you keep running and jumping around and neither do cops.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Me? Or anybody else?

 

[The Question]

Actually, the government's body armor is pretty ****ing advanced. They're already invented liquid kevlar. Now they're just looking for a cost-effective way to mass produce it.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

They actually have something even BETTER than kevlar. Same situation.

The technology is there, and is readily able. But you're asking if the military is willing to spend a few thousand dollars PER PERSON, when they're deploying several thousand people in situations that would use it, already using billions on the weaponry and vehicles.

 

[Enriquespy]

That does seem like the best way to do it.

Thanks, focusing on Protecting and rescuing is Way better than attacking

 

[dusk20]

It can be done. I'm not talking about protecting the entire city like Batman. I'm just thinking of taking out, or making the police more aware of, a drug dealer in my area.

 

[donaldthe3rd]

In a way I have to agree with echostation, if your not prepared you could easily get killed or beaten to a pulp. But like Enriquespy said, focus on protecting and rescuing in stead of goin straight for the fight. You could get more work done that way.

 

[The Question]

Also, directly confronting gangs of criminals, if and when you find yourself in such a situation, is completely idiotic. If you come across a gang of five criminals, you'd need to be able to think very tactically. Avoid directly fighting them and use your environment to your advantage, if you can. I'm hardly an expert on such a thing, but you would need the mindset of a guerilla fighter. In essence, being a sneaky, tricky bastard who cheats as much as possible. Of course, there would be situations in which you'd have no way of doing this ans surviving. In such situations, calling the cops would be your best course of action.

 

[mwm1331]

Yes its possble. Thats why in the almost 80 years superhero comcis have been around theres never been one. Excpet for those tard fanboy's in new york with the cos fetish. Dr Discordia or whatever.

 

[donaldthe3rd]

Really now to be realistic about it, there almost no chance, unless your like arnold shwartzinager or lou ferrigno, of going into a fight with gang of maybe 5 or more and coming out without a scratch.

1) Arny and Ferrigno probably wouldn't do that well in a fight. They're body builders, not fighters.

2) Did I say that someone should engage in direct combat with groups of people? Hell no. I said that, if one found themselves in such a situation, their best course of action would be to either avoid direct combat and use the local environment to their advantage to take the group by surprise and take them down, or to call for help. I also never claimed that doing the former would be at all easy, and I do admit that it would require a good deal of skill when it comes to stealth, quick thinking, and tactical thinking.

The whole act of being an actual super hero is possible, but the one thing that always befuudled me was escaping. Vigilantisim(spelled that wrong) is againest the law. So when you do stop a crime, how would you escape? I doubt there's a good working grapple gun out there, and if you get into a car you're gonna be stopped eventually from speeding down the street. Simply slipping into the shadows and change to civilain clothing kinda makes sense, but you'd probably being wearing so much armor and protection it would take you quite a while to change and then where would you put your costume? In a huge suitcase? It's extremely complicated, espeicially with out powers. The act of being a superhero was never seen as impossible to me, but escaping the scene always was.

 

[Enriquespy]

thats why you shoudn't need to escape

To some degree, both can be done...

Being a vigilante isn't against the law. However, several things that vigilantes are known to do (breaking and entering, assault and battery, torture, murder) are against the law. Anyway, getting away souldn't be a problem. Just leave before the police arrive.

 

[donaldthe3rd]

Thats pretty much the best plan to do if you don't want to get caught. Just leave right away. Or hide.

 

[Enriquespy]

Or stay and give all info to the police so they can work better...

If you have a secret identity, then you will have to trust the police not to tell it to anyone... you still gonna have to give them your true name.

And if its not a cri9me scene, but an emergency you gotta stay until help arrive to take care of the injured ones, and to tell the firemen or paramedics if there are more people in danger.

 

[The Question]

Why? You can leave them information and evidence without telling them who you are. They even have phone lines for the purpose of anominous information.

And if its not a cri9me scene, but an emergency you gotta stay until help arrive to take care of the injured ones, and to tell the firemen or paramedics if there are more people in danger.

But I doubt you'll constantly find yourself in a situation where that's necessairy.
