As fjtorres said, I guess?

Hey, you discounted Shadowops.
It had some things indicative of and classic to superheroes, but it still fails the ultimate behavior test, I think.

Quote:
And there are a ton of existing superheroes who wouldn't count
No Powers - Green Arrow, Hawkeye, Batman, Black Canary, Black Widow, Green Hornet - Maybe we can count anyone who calls themselves The Primary Colour Thingy or Animal Name Thingy , we can discount The Punisher as just being a gun-nut.
Magical/Demonic - Steven Strange, Constantine, Vandal Savage, Ghost Rider, The Shadow, Hellboy, Spawn
Hi Tech - Iron Man, The Atom, Ant Man
Again, it ultimately rests on their behavior.
And the Badass Normal of the superhero world absolutely counts.

And where do James Bond, Judge Dredd and Danger Mouse stand
No, no, and maybe but superspies vs. superheroes is a soft boundary?

Cheers for the recommends
