I dont get it. If Batman knew brazilian jiu jitsu he could mop the floor with superman in a kryptonite suit, because superman is just a striker. I dunno about the rest of you but if I was a superhero in a world with other supers, I wouldn't rest on my laurels just saying "oh I have superpowers I'll use those." If you have to go toe to toe with another super, you better have more than just the power of earthquakes or some poo poo like that. There are some supers who are basically just PRETTY STRONG and they know martial arts, like you got Iron Fist and Daredevil. But then Luke Cage is like "oh I am bulletproof I'll be ok if I just bulk up." No way would that be me if I could shoot fire out of my eyes. Like if you took a high end mixed martial artist and gave them a super power like turning into stone, they would find a way to incorporate that into their kata and grow from it. Too many supers are using their super powers as a crutch.

Taskmaster likely knows every martial art, but isn't so much a hero as a mercenary as it were.

They had this plot on Supergirl. Her sister tells her than she can do just fine against normal people without training but not against other super powered beings, so she starts teaching Kara how to actually fight.

I'm pretty sure the fact that Superman doesn't know how to fight is actually part of his whole deal. I believe Wonderwoman calls him out for being a little bitch who couldn't actually do anything if he wasn't a walking cheat code every once in awhile.

From Wiki "This accounts for many of his extraordinary feats, including bench pressing 1200 pounds (545 kg) and running a mile (1.6 km) in 73 seconds (49 mph/78 kph).[144] Furthermore, his enhancements are the reason why he was able to survive being frozen in suspended animation for decades. He is highly resistant to hypnosis or gases that could limit his focus.: Sure in Earth 616.... Oh you son of a bitch. You almost got me to serious post an effort post.

In the spirit of the thread and arguing in good faith, OP asked for a super, which CAP does qualify for by comic book standards, maybe not yours. Dude has been advanced to the absolute peak of human limitations and took the time to learn enough martial arts to adapt his own style and to include fighting with a shield, to the point that he could boomerang the fucker around, almost in denial of the laws of physics. Unless you wish to be a.... He qualifies.

If I had laser eyes and could fly the last thing I'd do is waste all my time learning a bunch of gay karate. I'd just spend all my time laser shooting the doors off of bank vaults.

I guess Black Canary does that. She has a superpower, but she also learned how to fight. But her superpower is just yelling really loud, so it makes sense that she'd want another way to solve her problems. But they took away her superpower in that Arrow show for some reason. So she was just a fighting person with a sonic device that nobody else ever used. Maybe they wanted to keep it "realistic", but then they introduced The Flash and an Iron-Man wanna-be, so idk.

Actually Superman is well versed in the superior Kryptonian martial arts of Torquasm-Rao, Klurkor and Horu-Karu. Lois Lane also learned some of the techniques and uses it to great advantage during roller derby brawls
