Any Superhero comics or any medium really that actually realistically portray a super hero? No, I don't want bullshit like Kick Ass or Samurai Flamenco's first two arcs. What I mean is an actual work where the MC has ACTUAL super strength or powers and there are repercussions to his actions in the world.
Like you can see the enviromental damage his fights cause take a toll on a city or his environment. You can see that the government is actually hunting down his ass due to wanton destruction caused and wants to experiment on him. More over you see his personal life crumble around him significantly.
Things likes this is what drew me in about Spider-Man, every action he took had immediate effects to those around him. Granted the other aspects I talked about were just magically resetted and sometimes even forgotten about, but not those to his personal life. Of course One More Day shat all over that, but oh well it's why I stopped reading him anyhow. To get back on track, what I want is a superhero story where it's not just the Hero's personal life that crumbles down, but the environment around him too.
So far the only things close to this that I've read are Guyver and ARGUABLY Berserk, but is there anything more like this out there? Or is it just impossible to find a super hero story that doesn't exist in a vacuum? Again any medium is fine, it can be a video game, ACTUAL BOOK, anime, manga, I'll be okay with it.
