What if a real Superhero emerged today?

I was thinking, what would happen if a real Superhero emerged today, this day in age?

Let's say he has sufficient powers to fight crime on a global scale. For example, someone more like Superman, instead of Spiderman who mainly protects NYC (as far as I know).

What do you guys think would happen? What would he try in stop? Terrorism? Poverty? Hunger? Human Trafficking? Would he be a celebrity, or would he work with the UN/CIA to be kept secret? Would a government agency try to examine his DNA and make super-soldiers out of him or something?

What would happen?

The government would track down him and his family, Then make him work for them to do morbid things.

I think Government agencies all over the world will try to capture him and experiment with him and use his D.N.A for certain purposes.I

It depends on his super powers. If he's strong enough so that no government can help him than he would probably be a celebrity and fight crime on a Global scale. It would be better if he was a public celebrity so that the government can't do much too him.

I believe this has already been done?

For some reason I can't help but think of Kickass lol!

I would become his Jimmy Olsen.

Those are not superheroes, those are people with good hearts who want to act like it's Halloween. When in reality, they can just as easily remove the masks and do what they need to do.

I think it really depends on how you interpret a superhero,for me there two things that distinguish a hero from a superhero,one is Consistency and the other is theatricality.

Batman is the closest to reality a superhero can get really. Phoenix Jones is a wannabe cop who is on the edge of getting arrested (Oh wait, correct myself, he already was), or killed.

He said he didn't become one because he would have limitations to what he can do.As a civilian,he doesn't have to follow standard procedures.He seems to know what he's doing,he's a former MMA fighter,he wears a bullet proof vest,and a website that sells guns even donated a riot shield to him that can withstand a shotgun blast at point blank range.

He doesn't know what he's doing if he's already been arrested, believe me, he's definitely no superhero. Still just a wannabe cop. He may do the right thing, but he's no Batman.

Well then I guess someone's going to have to genetically engineer superpowers aren't they?

That's what this thread is about...not about a vigilante who should really just join the Seattle Police Department.

Working on it. Got the theoretical side worked out, need funding.

@CrimsonCake: And that's all in theory, but that's irrelevant to the point of any of those Seattle "superheroes" as you call them, not being superheroes.

Well let's make a hypothetical scenario,let's just say all of a sudden evolution were to somehow "accelerate".People and new borns start receiving genetic anomalies that grant them abilities like Superhuman strength,stamina,durability,endurance,enhanced senses,high pain tolerance,abnormal skin tones,animal like features such as claws.Now how would people to react to this?Basically it would be like the x-men.People will start to fear them and shun them.Governments agents will look at these people with interest.I can imagine that some of these people will use their powers for criminal purposes,but the question is will any of these people use it for good?

Uh so you know, Batman isn't realistic...at least training yourself to his extent isn't. No you want realistic heroes, Question and Vigilantie are more realistic then Batman.

People keep thinking that batman is the most realistic superhero because he doesn't have powers but there are tons of superheroes that don't have super powers and are less skilled and less technologically advanced than batman which would make them more realistic.
