Note: I just realized this is somewhat pointless as I don't get to any real conclusion. Read on if you want, but its not really worth it IMO.

Being done as a request for my blog.

There are a variety of heroes in comics and most of them do a pretty effective job, within the world that they are set. That's not to say that they would actually do a good job outside of the ficticious world that has bee created by the mind behind Marvel, DC and other publishers, because the real world is very much different to the world of comic books. The most notable difference between the two worlds, is the lack of Superhumans, which would mean that apart from there being no heroes, there would be no Villains as well. The reason that comic books can be ongoing, is that there are a systematic group of evil (generically speaking, in some cases they may not be necessarily evil at all) men and women that commit illegal deeds in one form or another and they keep coming back to do them. That's why these so called "Superheroes" have any effectiveness what-so-ever, because they have a group of villains (often dubbed their Rogues by fans) that they systematically put behind bars, or defeat in some shape or another.

In a world where these SuperVillains don't exist, then this mean that the definition of what is a good Superhero changes as well. We don't really want someone who's really good at defeating Doctor Doom, we want somone who's really good at cleaning the street of rapists and psychotic murderers. Whether these two different types of heroes (the ones that can defeat Doom and the ones that clean the streets effectively) are interlinked

Also keep in mind that for the purposes of the blog, I'm going to be making sure that all three of the heroes that I am going to be mentioning are different and have differentiated strengths in what they do. The reasoning behind this is that otherwise, if I thought that the perfect hero was Superman, then the two other heroes would ideally be Superman "clones", like Majestic, since they'd have arguably the exact same strengths as Superman. If that doesn't make sense, just shut up and read the rest of the blog =P.

3. Punisher/Red Hood

Coming in at the third place would be the Punisher/Red Hood type heroes. I know that there's a whole argument on whether they are heroes, and people feel like placing them as "Anti-Heroes" or as "Anti-Villains", but I'm ignoring that in full. The reason that both of these characters could definitely have an advantage in the real world, is due to the manner with which they handle crime. Both of these heroes have no qualms with killing people and that would mean that there is perhaps an efficiency to them that is denied to other heroes. Both of them will end up clearing the street of... well criminals and these will not be coming back. Furthermore this is the real world, there is but a limited number of actual criminals, not like comic book where there are constantly new criminals spontaneously appearing and new criminal empires around the corner. Now the obvious negative of this type of hero is that they're very much human, so while they're good at clearing the criminals that live in your street/city, it would take them ages to do anything that would affect the world in a major way, so it would not be cost effective to bring this type of hero into the world, when there a super-powered one would perhaps destroy criminals all around the world with much greater ease.

Of course, I don't approve of their methods, but I think it would be worth a mention to have them on the blog. Not to mention that their morals would not be able to be asserted, and that it may get to much. Morality is black and white, it is very much a grey area.

2. Mr. Fantastic/Batman

Now, while both of these characters may seem somewhat redundant at first (compared to other heroes in the world, though not the ones I previously mentioned) their strength lies not in the power that they have to tackle the street, though they are capable of doing so, but in their genius. Both of them could probably influence the world in a great many way. It is definitely feasible that with genius' like this to perhaps cure cancer, aids and diseases of the like, maybe place fiscal or monetary policies that solve economic issues or anything extraordinary that would allow them to help the world in more ways that just "taking it to the streets". Of course they can do their share of dealing with rapists and murderers, but that wouldn't be they're forté.

3. Superman/Majestros

Lastly Superman and Mr. Majestic would be perhaps the most efficient heroes. Of course there are a number of people that would be able to be more effective than some of the names that I have thrown out there before in my blog, but the fact is that they two can do what other heroes can do just as well and do it better. Let me explain myself. While its true that the Thing can deal with Street Gangs better than perhaps Jason Todd can, it is necessary to understand that Superman can do it better than the thing, though he doesn't have the ruthlessness that Jason would have. Regardless, both Superman and Majestic would be able to represent the peak efficiency of anything that Superheroes can do. Whether it be fight crimes against criminals he old fashion way, or hand out food to people in Africa at the Speed of Light, or use their intellect to find new manners to approach things. Etc etc...
