Before we begin I don't hate superhero's I just think they are ill conceived at birth.
The biggest issue with superhero's is the unbelievable lengths that you have to go through to become one. Lets face it most of the time you have to go through some horrific process of genetic mutation, praying that your able to survive what no-one else can. After the brutal ordeal of having some radioactive dog chew on your nuts the superpowers that you get on the other side seem to be decidedly random.
After all of this you can pretty much guaranty that your going to attract alot of trouble. Which is fine but imagine on your wedding day just a when your about to kiss your loving bride. BAM! Half your guest are killed or maimed then you wife whisked away by some villain while you deal with his underlings . You must then rescue said wife before marrying her for her money.
It becomes impossible to have good friends because for some reason they're morphed into your arch-nemesis. This is the true test of who your friends as they try and kill you. If this doesn't happen you essentially know canon fodder should things take a turn for the worst.
After all of this the hours are crap, you can't get life insurance, you have to step up when evil invades, you don't get paid (admiration doesn't pay the bills) but worst of all what self respecting person wants to be seen in copious amounts of Lycra?
