First of all, I love your column. Even though I stopped collecting in 1994, I still enjoy hearing synopses of the characters.

In one of my posts in the other forum, I stated that only the Punisher and Batman have no "super-powers". Your Mail Shoot entry about Captain America seems to have proven me wrong. Are there other heroes with no superhuman abilities that I may have missed?

Sure, there's plenty.

Just off the top of my head, there's archer-type guys like Hawkeye and Green Arrow, marital artists like Nightwing, The Question or Shang-Chi, guys who only have super-weapons like Starman, and lots more.

I guess there are really three kinds of "Super-heros" out there, huh.
The ones with actual Superpowers, like Superman, and Spiderman.
There are the ones with SuperWeapons, but no real powers themselves: Iron Man, Star Man, Green Lantern
Finally there are the guys like Batman and Green Arrow who don't have any superpowers and have "gadgets" rather than an all powerful magic gem or something.

Are there any more? i guess Magicians could be concidered a 4th category.
