Limited Power

A list detailing Heroes with either minimal to no powers but who still kick much more ass than most powered Heroes. The heroes with no powers will be near the top of the list and will be ranked according to their skill. Those with one or two "small" powers will be nearing the bottom and will be ranked according to how much they rely on their power..

List items

  • Trained to both mental and physical extremes, Batman has gone toe to toe with people who, in theory, should be able to tear him apart, but comes out on top without fail.

  • The super soldier serum gave him his strength and reflexes, but his abilities are only at the peak human level. Steve Rogers has no enhanced ability that a normal human, through extreme training, would not be able to achieve naturally.

  • By all accounts a normal human, with a bad attitude and mad skill.

  • Trained to be one of the deadliest spies in the world. This Femme Fatale sports no super power, but is damn good at what she does.

  • Haven't read too much Green Arrow, but from what I understand, he's an excellent marksman, was mayor of his own town and generally good at what he does.

  • His heightened senses are a result of a childhood accent. He ranks this high, despite relying heavily on his sense power, because I personally believe that his sense abilities make up for the lack of his eyesight. Other than what he needs for the sake of moving about, everything else Daredevil does came as a result of training.

  • A deadly martial artist who's trained with the best of the best. Dinah Lance has her Canary Cry, basically a sonic scream powerful enough to shatter steel, as a power, but for the most part, if she's in a fight she's using punches and kicks with deadly precision.

  • Master of all types and styles of martial arts. Iron Fist possesses some control over his nervous system which makes him capable of shutting down pain. He can also control chi energy, which depending on who you ask could be considered a power.

  • Basically a black ops agent. Has a mutant "luck" based ability that shifts probability of good stuff happening in her favor, it's hard to tell how often she uses this ability given the nature of it so she ranks pretty low.

  • It was a little difficult for me to allow Luke into this list given that he basically has the standard set of superpowers (invulnerability, super strength) so I had to look closer. I found that Luke is a skilled brawler, and he does use his powers a lot, but that's gonna happen anyway given the nature of his line of work. Ultimately what gave him the bottom place on the list is that A.) All of his fighting skill is just that, fighting skill. And B.) He does rely on his power a lot it seems.
