I put the scare quotes around superheroes because, imho, in order to deserve that title, you’re particular talent should enable you to save civilization, or at very least, an entire city (a la The Tick) from certain destruction.

Take the “Eye Popping Man,” for example. While his talent is mildly interesting, if grotesque, it hardly qualifies him for superhero status.

While a few of the other “superheroes” have talents which, if applied in a certain fashion, might enable them to fight crime in some manner, for the most part it’s all parlor tricks, compared to Superman or Green Lantern, etc.
