It\u2019s not a comic, it\u2019s not a game or a movie. I can\u2019t fly or shoot spiderwebs from my hands. No heat vision. Nothing. I get shot or stabbed in a place that doesn\u2019t have armor\u2026I end up in the hospital like everyone else. Or worse,\u201d he told Reddit.<br \/>\nRed Dragon\u2019s biggest accomplishment as a superhero, other than lowering the overall crime rate in the areas he and his colleagues patrol, is chasing down a sex offender who flashed a high school student on a bus.
