Okay, well consider this for a moment:

Alright, we now have superheros in the World.  More precisely, just one.  Say that superhero ends up in ............ oh, I don't know....North Korea?  It's a matter of assumption that superheros are morally good willed, honest, trustworthy, always does the right thing.....now let's take a look at this senario (sp?) through an outsiders eyes.  To the hero, N.Korea looks like it's being opressed by the other nations of the world.  The hero could see this as a threat, and fight for these opressed people.  Now what do we do?  We've got a superhero using thier powers for what they think is right, good, and just based on what they see first hand.  I won't even go into what would follow next.  The world as we know it would be changed forever.  We as a race certianly wouldn't be able to stand up against this hero, and only until it's too late will he/she fully realize what has occured.

I would disagree. It would be called volutneer service as sidekick.

And what would you call it then if say robin got caught and was molested by a villian ie: joker, slade etc. How do you think society would feel if they found out they were sending teens after pyschopaths? Who would face liablity, how would the whole superhero code be affected. And in terms of the DC universe if batman found out robin endured such a thing and was made public, if he was to be prosecuted then the justice leauge would collpase as well.

In fact in refrence to sensu's question, would we allow heroes free autonamily? After all they failed to stop 9/11 (Yes i know were talking about fictional characters but at the same time DC comics stamp their characters saying stuff like: things change since 9/11 or it could be worse then 9/11 etc.)

End of day it's not that we don't want superheroes but at the same time they won't become the heroes will be familir with because the world cannot see why and nor would it accept an independent bunch of crime fighting heroes. They would be intergrated to the militry forces (their own goverment or UN) soon. No one would tolerate a giant watchtower hanging above in space, their loyalty to the country they grew up on will be questioned as well as what they will do with their powers. More then anything superheroes would face more of the X-men special comics 'civil war' involving a crossover with marvel's finest (summary of that story is an incident occurs between two people with powers that caused immense destruction, because of it, a national registration and even identification is compulsary)

Hell even spider-man was forced to take of his mask.

One question about a different in what is justice or SuperHero fight for one side who will still do the good goody boyscout thing like most comic book superheros?

Very well put slade...the reality of our current world is that we are not ready for a superhero.  Sure we love the idea, but in actual working practice they would be rejected and governments would begin to target them as the enemy!

[Warlord Vir]

X-men, is not to far.
However, I doubt any comic will have Superheros in strict real world situtation.

[TechnoDragon]

they couldn't...the comic would be over to fast!

[Dreamseeker]

We are own worst enemy.

Ain't that the truth Dreamseeker!
