And wolverine is all three
And Iron Man built his in a cave! With a box of scraps!
Batman created his powers
If I remember well, Batman does not have superpowers. He’s a guy who’s rich, trains a lot, is smart and due to being rich is able to get great equipment to use.
His superpower is plot armour.
One could argue that his genius level intellect and his master detective skills (best detective in the world) are borderline superhuman.
A long time ago, I read that his superpower was, or was theorized to be, luck. No idea if that’s canon anywhere.
At first I thought, not very lucky to have your parents gunned down in front of you. Now I’m thinking how lucky he was to also not be shot. Damn…
Then it could be argued that he was born with his powers
Iron Man is a better example of a superhero who created powers for himself, but he isn’t one of the three most popular
Wolverine is at least born and thrust upon. Any examples of all three?
Wolverine was born with healing factor, trained in his fighting skills and then had his admantium skeleton thrust upon him
Yeah, I was thinking that but wasn’t convinced. Similarly Batman was born rich, trained hard and had bereavement thrust upon, which likely created the persona. Perhaps we’re all a bit nature, nurture, and luck.
I am a lay person when it comes to comics, so feel free to tear me apart here. Could Bruce Banner potentially be all 3? His DNA was able to absorb the gamma radiation (born with it), he then had the radiation thrust upon him, and then he did whatever he did to make himself the smart hulk?
A bit of a reach, I know.
Yeah, that’d play. I was thinking maybe Dr. Strange, but Banner is better.
Dr. Strange is a really good one too! Drawing energy from other realms and all.
Naruto i guess? He’s a child of a very powerful ninja(born), had a powerful creature sealed inside him at birth(thrust upon), and have to learn how to actually unlease and control that power(create).
Otherwise i can’t seems to remember anyone that does have the 3.
I like this one, but I’m not sure I’d call Naruto a superhero.
