[s]I have an idea for a superhero that has a very interesting twist to him.

But my superhero is not technically a superhero. I like to go the more 'grounded' route. My superhero uses trained skills, his tactical thinking, and gadgets to assist him in his missions.

I'm not sure if I want to go with:
1. He is a normal human, just damn good at what he does, or
2. He was gravely injured, but cybernetic implants saved his life and enhanced his body.[/s]

You know what? No. I got an idea for a superhero and I've been thinking about it a lot lately.

He gets his ass whooped all the time. He may get about 1 or 2 punches in, but he pretty much gets his ass whooped the entire time until someone else deals with that particular villain. He's cannon fodder, except he has that one shred of luck that keeps him alive.
