The OP assumes real world, or at least that is what I got from his post.

IRL, Batman would be an ignorant fool and would probably be shot by the cops for being a petty vigilante who kills people without proper motive or proof, based solely on hearsay that the author of the comic wishes to be true. Iron Man's suit wouldn't function IRL at all, and Superman would be a powerless ninny running around in spandex who would soon be locked up in a mental hospital.

Oh, yeah. If Batman can beat Deadshot, he can beat literally any military sniper in the world, since Deadshot is far superior to any of them. Fuck, the dude can hit a guy in a moving car while riding a train.

No, the OP means what if Batman (as in, Batman from the Justice League), Superman (from the Justice League), and Iron Man (from the movie) were all in the real world.

If Superman, Batman (Justice League) and Iron Man existed


Real world.

We already have comics where they go nuts and kill everyone: Marvel Zombies.

My question is: Are they the only Superheroes?
If no, dibs on Mindworm, Lex, and the Joker.
If yes, just kidnap their girlfriends.
Yes, I might be trolling. No, not like the guy who created the thread about towel heads.
I troll by making even the most outlandish opinions sound reasonable. The question is, am I doing that here?

Then I guess you have to go to the contingency plan:
A. Nuclear airstrike
B. Kidnap one of them
C. Call in The Doctor.

You know what? I give. These characters are all invincible in absolute terms. Nothing human can ever harm them. They can crush any opposition before them. Have fun with your boring invincible heroes.

They're only boring and invincible when applied to the real world. In-universe they're some of the best written characters that exist. Plus they have things like their principals to hold them back. The way the hypothetical is set up the earth has no chance.

True dat. You pit them up against actual supervillains (or, sometimes, other superheroes), and they're not so invincible anymore. I mean, in Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam, Superman was almost completely fucking useless, since all of Black Adam's powers were drawn from magic.

Batman could be killed by military special ops. Fairly easily (relatively at least), actually. Iron Man could be taken out with AA batteries (although given his small sizem, that would be difficult), SAMs, fighter jets, or an EMP. Superman isn't that difficult either, as long as someone can find an effective way to weaponize krptonite.

What these three DO have on their side is suprise and stealth. It might be sometime before the world govenrments figure out just is blowing up all their shit. If the superheroes play their cards right they could even instigate a new world war and have humanity destroy itself.

That's true, but there wouldn't be enough time.

If he does, he'd be indestructible.

1.Yes he could. What's so goddamn special about Batman?
2. Why not.
3. Probably. Unless of course Lex Luthor does it, sells the world the weapon and makes hundreds of billions.

2. We've been over everything you mentioned. Find the wiki link that was posted like ten times, Iron Man is functionally invincible in his armor and arguably immune to EMPs.

1. He's the goddamn Batman. He's also one of the greatest fighters in the DC Universe and has mastered 127 different fighting styles in addition to being one of the greatest ninjas of all time. Batman also has a complete database on every meta-human ever with contingency plans on how to beat all of them. Batman can literally defeat anyone if he's prepared.
2. Iron Man's suit is strong enough to be nuke-proof, and EMPs only disable it for 8-9 seconds, 10 if you're really lucky. (At least until he developed a countermeasure to make himself immune to EMPs)
3. Lex Luthor doesn't exist in this hypothetical.

He is called "The Invincible Iron Man" for a reason. :P

The second Iron Man movie shows that he does, at least, have a urine purifier in his suit, meaning he can pee at will. I'm guessing he probably figured out how to let himself poop in the suit, as well.
