A: No, not all superheroes have superpowers. Some merely possess great physical or mental strength that they use to fight crime and help others. For example, Batman does not possess any superpowers but has been through years of training to be physically and mentally stronger than his enemies.
Q: How do superheroes protect their identities?
A: Superheroes typically keep their identities secret by wearing masks or helmets in order to protect their friends and family from being hurt by villains. This also prevents them from being arrested for vigilantism if they revealed their true identity.
Q: Why do many superheroes become heroes in the first place?
A: Many superheroes have tragic backstories that play into why they became heroes in the first place. For example, Batman saw both of his parents murdered in front of him which motivated him to dedicate himself to fighting crime so that other people wouldn't experience similar tragedies; similarly, Spider-Man let a thief go which resulted in that same thief breaking into his home later on and killing Spider-Man's uncle - this event caused Spider-Man to realize he had to be responsible with his power and use it to help others instead of letting criminals go free.
