    I'd give it to Bruce over world record holders, who do their bench presses wearing a bench shirt.

    The world's record for bench presses without a bench shirt is 715 lbs. :)

    Edit: I see I should have read the thread through before replying. :)

    I have and can. Course I'm not taking about a bullet from a gun so much as a nerf bullet :D

    So going by what might be considered a sport are we going to see Batman competing in a staring contest. He'd probably clean up by using the Bat-grimace.

    I'm sorry, if (in the case of chess) the athletic requirements of your "Sport" are: partial sight, cognition, and limited use of one hand....you are no longer an athletic competition. You can be a contest, but you are not a sport. If Stephen Hawkins can play on the pro team something has gone terribly wrong on a semantic level.

    Hey, if we're going that direction let's go ahead and take out golf, NASCAR, and anything involving horse racing.

    NASCAR actaully takes wuite a bit of endurance since it gets very hot and you're going for hours not to mention the stress, etc.

    I'm willing to bet that Bruce Wayne can outrun a horse in a full 1.5 mile race.
