Which Hero Could Still Maintain An Entertaining Series Without Their Powers?

So.. yeah; which hero (or villain) would be able to do the aforementioned?

Honestly? I haven't read Daredevil in years (though I've heard it's had its excellent runs, over the years), but I think Matt Murdock could step up his game and go about representing the Hero community, more so than he does currently. As it's Murdock, who tries to keep an open mind, I don't see him turning aside (C-List, I can't see Ultron in court.. ) villains who have been unjustly accused, either. I think he'd hire Luke Cage or Iron Fist as protection in his law practice, though.

I'd love to see a series about Dr. Doom, and how he runs Latveria, for better or ill; a three-parter would do. The man doesn't need powers.. maybe he hangs up his suit of armor briefly and puts aside his magical prowess, and just focuses on matters of State.

For that matter, a mini-series about Marvel's various "super-villain prisons" (The Vault, Negative Zone prison) would be different, also; told from the standpoint of the human guards, not the heroes who also guard it.

A one-shot about Alfred Pennyworth would be cool.

There's already some heroes without powers (Batman, Punisher, etc), so they don't count.

Black Widow. She's a spy so her personal life is pretty much a mystery. You never know what's real and what's a "job" to her.

Barry Allen's crime scene investigator side could make for a few very interesting tales.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Agree to an above poster-a Logan depowered series would be pretty good I think.
A series with Apocalypse with no powers would also be pretty interesting if they could pull it off right-the believer in survival of the fittest as one of the regular folk.

Spiderman with no powers would be interesting-so many different ways they could take that-professor, scientist, investigative journalist, maybe a PI, or some kind of poor man's Iron Man where he builds his own suit to give him an imitation of his old powers. No idea where he'd get the money from though since he's always broke.
