Might be a dumb question, but would you consider Goku a superhero? His son does dress up as one.
Yea but that's Goku, not Gohan. And Gohan picks that gimmick up himself, not from Goku. So I personally don't think Goku counts. He also doesn't go out of his way to fight for others, mostly for himself unless innocent lives are threatened in the process.

I already have thought out the committee, as it were. Batman is not on it. ;)
Hi sorry! I didn't realize I was on the wrong account - Sanonymous was my backup account for a bit, I'll be changing this account's name back to Sanonymous soon because I actually do prefer that name. From now on just assume I'm Sanonymous who dibbed Batman, I'll like this message from Sanonymous' side for verification that I'm not bullshitting you, sorry for the hassle/confusion 😅🙏
 
To be fair, it's not like Goku goes out of his way to protect people or the planet.

True. I feel like Kamina from gurren Lagan qualifies as a hero in my Opinion.
 
Goku I feel is definitely not in the same ballpark when it comes to superheroes. While he is a hero and has powers it's not the same lol.
Alright, just testing how this works. So if Goku isn't a superhero according to the reasons given (motivation over optics) then is it right to assume Saitama isn't one either?
 
Don't think motives is the issue. If I wanted to play classic booster gold, who only cares about being a celebrity, I dont think that'd be an issue.

Goku would never consider himself a superhero. I honestly don't even think he cares about being good or evil. He just likes fighting.

Does satatima feel the same way? Sorta, but he's shown that he at least cares
 
Not to be an asshole, but that dub line as been disputed for Years.

Now if we're talking Gohan? Maybe
 
i mean i feel the definition of hero can be stretched to cover goku if my idea of semi villain semi hero can pass hehe

oh Goku is a hero, that much I won't deny. A superhero on the other hand is debatable
 
Well there is a sarong the diffrence between hero and super hero is presentation
and motivation. The defining trait of most if not all superheroes is that they'll put the safety of others before themselves while upholding standards and morals to serve as a compass to those they protect, whether intentionally or not

It was a mega mind reference
 
And here I thought I'd be pushing the limits by considering Kamen Rider 😅

You kinda would. I only know one other person who knows Kamen Rider other than myself. And I was thinking of being a Power Ranger lol
 
I think the context of their world and how they operate within it is also a factor.

This, pretty much. Would some of these mentioned be considered heroes? Yes. Are they superheroes? No, absolutely not. Maybe I should've defined superheroes as the cape and cowl crowd just so we wouldn't get all of these slippery slopes lol.

I could've also given some suggestions of what I was thinking of, but maybe I'll just do it now.

List of superhero content:

  • Marvel Comics
    • Ultraverse
  • DC Comics
    • Milestone
      Wildstorm
  • Spawn/Top Cow
  • The Incredibles
  • Megamind
  • Savage Dragon
  • Invincible
  • Black Hammerverse

I actually forgot about OPM, depending on how I feel when the CS comes out I might take Saitama instead of Batman :D Those are two characters I loved writing as years ago
