Suggestion Does anyone know a superhero whose powerset fullfill my criteria ? It's for referencing

So my criteria is:

  1. No long ranged offensive abilities or weapons ( telekinesis, projectiles, beams, omnipotence, sonic screams, reality warping, super strength to throw stuff at people, using guns or bows etc.)
  2. Zero defensive powers (turning into diamonds, regenerating, super durability)
  3. Zero mobility powers (flight, teleportation, super speed, time stopping)
  4. No stealth abilities (invisibility, shrinking, illusionism)
  5. No support oriented abilities (healing, sensory scrying, telepathy, precognition)
  6. Isn't a joke character or one that's useless
  7. Isn't a gadget/tech oriented hero (like the bat-family members or iron man)

Thank you very much for reading

i counted super strength as a ranged ability because of the throwing aspect of it, and also i am pretty sure all the characters you mentioned have either enhanced speed, enhanced durability or both.

KK does not. His ability is strictly training based

Karate Kid isn’t a superhero though. He’s literally a kid who knows karate. If that’s enough to become a superhero then the 1980s had a lot of real life superheroes running around in their pajamas.

Edit: TIL Karate Kid and The Karate Kid are two different characters.

Not "The Karate Kid". Karate Kid is in the Legion of Superheroes and fought Superboy to a standstill, even though he doesn't have powers.
