13 Funniest Attempts At Being A Superhero That Failed
They tried to change the world; they failed in every way imaginable.
Let's face it: everyone has thought about being a superhero at least once in their life. And if you haven't thought about it, then you're a filthy liar - stop being a filthy liar, you! The very notion of being a "freelance" vigilante and protecting the innocent against the scum of humanity has long been the fantasy of many, young and old. There's something timeless and wonderful about the idea of being a masked crime fighter. Just imagine how good you'd feel putting your feet up after an entire evening's worth of beating down muggers, rapists and child molesters. Super good. Still, fact is: being a real life superhero doesn't really work. At all. That's why, after all this time, there still aren't any.

We hope girls weren't watching. 12. Superwoman Mistakes Child For Zod
What does Superwoman do on her days off? She punches children in the face, of course! Had a normal parent accidently whacked their child to this extent, it would have been fairly painful - take into consideration the sort of power inherent to an alien lifeform of this kind, though, and we're talking eight weeks in hospital for bespectacled kid. Wait... why would Superboy need glasses?
