In the movies, superheroes exist for one reason: to fight the bad guys. In the real world, we have plenty of bad guys, but no superheroes. A radioactive spider has never bitten Dave Lizewski; he doesn’t have the gadgets and cash of Batman; sure, he can deal with kryptonite, but he definitely can’t fly. His lack of superpower doesn’t stop him, though. He purchases a wet suit online, customizes it for a superhero’s needs and begins the necessary training: sit-ups, jumping from building to building.
