I find this to be a very valid and fair question.
I myself, personally found it more challenging of a game play as a regular joe. And found it fun to play as well. As for your question in regards to Punisher, Batman, Nightwing, and Electra stats vs. a regular human. Well, think about it. They worked their way up to those stats. I have a regular guy I play every Saturday and I'm fighting along side people with powers, I mean awesome powers and I take my fair share of beatings including my own lol. I also started out with very low stats and now I'm practically maxing the human potential on my FASE which includes the Ranks you've just mentioned. I can honestly say, that my regular human who happens to be a Marine Captain with some interesting talents can most likely go toe to toe with
"some" of the regular folks you've mentioned, because I don't hit girls lol.
