oh great....snother super hero without superpowers


the spirit,daredevil,the punisher, why do filmmakers seem so intent on making these movies with heros that have no powers.

they usually always do poorly at the box office yet time and time again serious filmakers pick them to make movies about when there is such wealth of other super heros with powers they could actually use.

...mate, Daredevil, the Spirit and the Shadow all have superpowers.
Daredevil has super-senses that lets him 'see without seeing'
The Spirit (I don't fully understand this one I'll admit) can block his pain from being felt, at least for a short while
And the Shadow has illusion powers that lets him turn invisible
