My problem is, I've never been that big into superheroes. My favorites would have to be Superman and Batman. But Batman begs the question, "Does Batman count as a superhero even though he doesn't have any super powers?" My answer would have to be no. He only has technology and money. Obviously he has no fear of heights (which isn't a superpower), I could never be a Batman. I am afraid of heights.
For the reasons you just listed, Batman is the only really cool superhero IMO. All the rest have some sort of fruity special power that leads them to a life of crime fighting. Batman has only money bought technology and vengeance in his blood. He whoops ass at a superhero level without some gay-ass exposure to gamma radiation or alien parents.

All the other superheros have to deal with some retarded internal strife about whether or not to use their power for good or evil, or whether or not to get out of the crime fighting game. Batman's only concern is "how do I beat some gangster's ass w/o blowing my cover so I can keep my billion dollar day-job, also what sort of over the top vehicle can I build this week".

So here's my list:

Tier 1 Superheros: Batman
Pansy-ass Freaks in Tights: Everyone else
