    batman has no powers whatsoever. he just a very rich person, much like stark, who bought/develop tech. not really thrust as more of an accident, much like brunce banner.

    closest thing would be apocalypse the super-mutant, he was forced upon to gain celestial enhanced powers. i think juggernaut is another one, as is lady deathstrike? another one is phoenix.

      He has also trained himself to pretty much the peak of human limits, so there’s that. Which is usually listed in other superheroes’ lists of powers.

      In different incarnations he’s also heavily involved in the design of the various tech, it’s more than just “being rich”. That’s really understating both characters.

      But I would call super suits and super tech as “powers” in the way they’re frequently talked about. Uber-genius intellects maybe.

        In the original comics Batman used to be mostly a detective. Looking for clues, evidence, then tying up criminals for the cops to find (afaik). I’d love a show like “True Detective” but with Batman. Anyway so his powers would be peak of human limits and super intelligent and gadgets.

      Batman and Stark both have significant physics bending powers. It’s more obvious with Stark, but both of them have made plenty of things that have bend the laws of physics pretty drastically.

        That’s the comic’s suspension of disbelief working. In canon they have no powers other than engineering and funding.
