Super
Why this pick
Like Kick-Ass, it turns an ordinary, damaged civilian into a homemade vigilante, balancing comic-book wish fulfilment with abrupt, uncomfortable violence and darkly awkward humour.

02
Defendor
Why this pick
A scrappy, sincere take on the non-superpowered vigilante fantasy, with an outsider hero, improvised costume, street-level danger, and a more melancholy emotional undercurrent.
03
The Suicide Squad
Why this pick
It shares Kick-Ass's irreverent comic-book violence, colourful pop-art attitude, sudden tonal swerves, and affection for misfit characters who are far less heroic than they first appear.
04
American Ultra
Why this pick
A stoner slacker is thrown into heightened, bloody action in a playful mix of suburban inertia, comic-book-style mayhem, and unexpectedly warm character chemistry.
05
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Why this pick
It has a similarly youthful, stylised collision of everyday insecurity and graphic-novel fantasy, using fast visual jokes, heightened fights, and infectious pop momentum rather than realism.
