The Hulk

The Hulk is one of the most interesting superheroes that there is. Bruce Banner was exposed to gamma radiation from his invention and it sort of made him a hero. The reason I say sort of is because he only becomes the Hulk when he under extreme emotional stress, and he has limited control over himself as the Hulk. Unlike most heroes, the Hulk has powers that could be thought of as a curse.The Hulk is basically a monster who is also a good guy.Batman is a hero who has complete control over himself. Unlike the Hulk, Batman is never the bad guy, and always is fighting for what is right. Batman and the Hulk do have something major in common. They are both often chased by the police. Batman is chased because he is a vigilante, and the Hulk is chased because of all the destruction he causes. Between the two of them, Batman is more of a hero.

Wolverine

Unlike most superheroes, Wolverine is feared by most of the humans who he protects. He is basically a hero with extremely powerful and natural steroids. His body heals itself extremely quickly. Also, he has a skeleton with three claws on each hand that was fused with an unbreakable metal called adamantium. He is one of the few heroes who is practically invincible. There is no way to penetrate the metal that runs throughout  his body, and his body heals itself so fast that he practically can't get hurt. The strange thing is that he still feels pain. Batman is the same as Wolverine in this way. The thing about Batman is that he is still human. He accomplished amazing things without the help of extreme regeneration, and he is capable of ending crime without ending a life. Wolverine is a stubborn killer who could probably live forever. Batman is a hero who has to face his own mortality. He ages and continuously decides to risk his life to help the lives of those around him. For Wolverine there is no risk involved except for the risk of pain.

Green Lantern

Green Lantern is another superhero from DC comics. The original Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, was a fighter pilot for the U.S. Air-force. He became a superhero after he was chosen by the Green Lantern Corps following the death of one of its alien members. Green Lantern is inferior to Batman partially because he is not nearly as helpful. He is in charge of a very large area and can only help with Earth when there is something very big. Batman is able to prevent even small crime and uses detective work to solve Gotham's problems. Another problem with the Green Lantern is he relies completely on the powers of his ring, which needs to be charged regularly. On top of that, he is unable to use fear against his enemies. Batman is able to fight and prevent crime with the fear of his name among the criminals of Gotham. Batman's whole crime fighting career has centered around turning fear against those who use it as a weapon.

Iron Man

Another superhero of recent popularity is Iron Man. Like Batman, Iron Man is completely human with no real super powers. He relies on both his amazing intelligence as well as his amazing Iron Man suit. Iron Man may be a decent superhero, but there are many reasons why he is inferior to Batman.Iron Man has no creative super villains. The super villains are just other smart guys with amazing suits. They are practically Iron Man with bad intentions. The Batman villains are nothing like Batman and are all creatively different. Another problem with Iron Man is that he kills people. Batman manages to stop crime without killing a single villain. Iron Man is a rich jerk who loves the fame he gets as Iron Man. He even revealed his identity as Tony Stark to help his popularity. Batman protects others and does good for the sake of doing good. Iron Man does good to promote his personal image and prove that he is better than everyone else. There is really no comparison between them.
