    Who's your favorite fictional Super Hero that does NOT have super powers?

    Most fictional characters that are considered super heroes with NO powers are beyond the comic book world. They each have special skills and talents but NO physical super power / powers. Among them are ................

    (1) Tarzan - SPECIAL SKILLS or TALENT - vine swinging , expert at fighting against wild animals and jungle survival .

    (2) The Lone Ranger - SPECIAL SKILLS / TALENT - cowboy skills , such as riding a horse at very fast speeds.

    (3) Conan the Barbarian - SPECIAL SKILLS / TALENT - sword fighting skills, very strong but not super strong.

    (4) BatMan - SPECIAL SKILLS / TALENT - strong detective skills , master of over a hundred different fighting styles.

    (5) Man-At-Arms - SPECIAL SKILLS / TALENT - genius mind can invent just about anything. Very good fighter for an old man.

    (6) Teela - SPECIAL SKILLS / TALENT - acrobatic fighting skills , such as doing flips in the air while fighting with a sword,etc. Kind of like a female version of Robin . Good leadership skills as Guard Captain.

    (7) Shanna the Shedevil and Kazaar - SPECIAL SKILLS / TALENT - This husband and wife jungle team made by Marvel have the same skills as Tarzan.

    NOTE : ( I did'nt list Robin because there are 3 different Robins, and that may confuse some people. )

    So who's your favorite Super Hero that does NOT have powers ?

    They just have talent and skills, but no powers. And feel free to add any characters that I did not list or mention.

    Oh yeah , almost forgot . BATMAN is my favorite NON - POWERED super hero .

    First and foremost the Punisher.

    I haven't read enough Batman, but he's on the list as well.And since he was cool wrestler way back then...I also want to mention Ultimate Warrior.

    If I hadn't had something to drink, I would have Groo the Wanderer bubbling under.

    Hawkeye/Ronin and the Punisher...a few years ago I would have said Batman as well but he's become so unrelatable and boring...(not that I relate to The Punisher mind you)

    If I have to pick just one, I'll go with...

    The Shadow - The Knight of Darkness -- master detective, master of disguise, highly skilled in hand to hand combat and firearms. Plus, he is the archetype for several later detective characters [inculding, but not limited to] The Avenger, The Spider, The Black Bat, and even The Batman.

    But keeping the list short [since there are several I could name just as easily] right up there with The Shadow is...

    Doc Savage - The Man of Bronze -- Very strong, highly intelligent, skilled in unarmed and armed combat. Hold Ph.D.s in multiple disciplines and occasionally spends time in his Fortress of Solitude to rest and work on scientific research.

    The Green Hornet -- skilled in unarmed combat, high level detective skills. Actively works at maintaining the illusion to police, the public, and criminals that he is a top tier crime boss rather than a hero.

    I forgot that the Punisher has no powers. He has the same military talent and skills as Rambo.

    Wow Snake-Eyes is one of my favorite Joes too.

    This.

    I'm a Doc Savage Fan. Tho, to cheat, I'd say "The Wold Newton Family".

    heh.

    He's iffy. If he still has extremis in his system, he has super powers (cyber-telepathy, healing factor, etc). But traditionally he does not.
