If you walk up to the average person on the street and ask them to name three Iron Man villains, can they do it? Most likely not. Ask them to name three Batman villains, and you'll get a large pool of responses. That's why heroes without powers are so popular in the first place: Batman.
Whenever the question arises, "Who's the greatest superhero without superpowers?" Batman's name will undoubtedly come first.
Batman doesn't even need superpowers because he's freaking Batman!
The Punisher is a fictional antihero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer Gerry Conway and artist John Romita, Sr., with publisher Stan Lee green-lighting the name. The most badass character without superpowers, definitely. Batman is badass too, but considering that he has top technology and all the money, the Punisher doesn't have the same advantages yet still comes out on top many times. The Punisher is a man who has nothing to lose, and he fights as if he has nothing to lose too.
It is surprising not to see the Punisher at 1st or 2nd place. He killed the entire Marvel universe, later followed by Deadpool, who is immortal. If an immortal individual kills the Marvel universe, what does that make Frank? Just awesome.

Plus, he can shoot 29 arrows in a minute, which no one else can do. Even Batman seeks his help sometimes in DC comics.
Green Arrow is one of the best. In the show Arrow, he beats up more people than I can count when he is fighting alone.
Because he's awesome, and everybody and their brother is on the Batman bandwagon. It is sickening.
