I want to become a real life superhero, /b. Is it possible? What tools and equipment will I need?

I want to become a real life superhero, /b. Is it possible? What tools and equipment will I need?

a fuckin gun

Several years of working out and martial arts training as well as steroid use and some body armor we don't have the technology for yet.

Kind of this. Remember, Tony Stark had to invent a new element to obtain the energy necessary to properly power his suits. Otherwise he was just burning through platinum, which you won't be able to afford to do.

I think cash and cardio are the most of it.

Too bad I'm going to be a superhero first

remember, tony stark fights ridiculously overpowered unrealistic creatures in a universe very much unrealistic and unrelatable

We don't have anything that could power that that's small enough to be portable. I guess it'd work if someone built armor and he had a power cord? Just fight crime up til the end of your cord. "This city block is crime free."

Ok, so what you do is get a shotgun, beanbag rounds, take steroids, run, and find a plague doctor getup. Move to Detroit, and listen to the police scanner.

You're welcome.

Firearms. Don't bother with hand to hand combat as that represents too many variables. Go to crime ridden areas or high income areas and thats where you'll find the most corrupt. Surveillance on individuals is a must or you will remove the wrong person. Superheroes take out supervillains. The probability of you being around for some street crime at just the right moment is pretty low unless you have a police scanner and then you only know as much as the cops which is never very much.

You're better off being a villain because statistics are majorly in your favor.

You could wear an EOD suit but it'd be hard to move and you might have a heat stroke.

>drop toaster in bathtub
0.000000000000000000000000001% chance you'll be able to at be magnetized like Magneto.

Dr. Bean?

You could go for just a vest and the advantages being able to move or take cover give you in combat like a normal person, instead of trying to be invulnerable.

I'd rather be able to move so Jamal doesn't come up behind me and cap me.

C'mon b/ fuck all the shit about Iron Man let's male a new super hero for OP

just give up on life and charge into robberies with regular bullet-proof vest a gun and maybe a tazer
[spoiler]or become a cop[/spoiler]

OP here, the dubs have spoken

no glamour in a real life superhero, the only thing that can do anything realistic benefit would be a punisher style vigilante against crime

I'm liking where this is going...

And every bad guy you kill you take them back to your lair and turn them into furniture and plant them in your corn fields

Perhaps a dark costume would work for night-time, with a pair of night vision goggles and a neoprene mask for the lower half of your face.

This will help you to sneak up on criminals and engage with the element of surprise. It would help to have utilities on hand for combat: batons, a tazer, a spray can of some sort, and a gun if all else fails. For this reason you might want a costume with a lot of reliable pockets.

Get a costume that you can blend with, something that won't stick out too much. No spandex.

Think jacket, jeans, and full cover mask. If you have gear, have a bag you can stow it in. Can't be walking around with a tactical rig on without causing some alarm.

Radioactive spider.
Palladium, not platinum, dummy. Platinum is a seriously unreactive element.

Why not go to Africa or the Middle East and become a warlord instead? There's a whole hell of a lot more terrible people over there than there are here, and a lot less authority to come after you when you do something about it.

I mean, you already have a death wish, why not go whole hog?
