So your entire rebuttel is just "you are wrong because I disagree"?
And no, logic is the only right method of debate, ever. Though that can be debated.
I did say earlier that if you consider a cyborg to be super powered, then batman by extension is super powered. That does require you to consider that to be the case. It is apparent you do not. I myself DO think Iron Man is a super hero thanks to that big super powered robot suit of his. I don't know all the details there, but I understand he actually controls that by remote or something. No matter. It's basically as super as a summoner.
Are you stating that a super power has to be part of someone down to the DNA? I find that arbitrary myself. My fillings are certainly something I consider a part of my body, even if a doctor implanted them. Certainly I would file their removal as bodily harm, not merely stealing.
However, again, at this point the debate turns into something a bit different. Now it's all about if you really consider super science to be a super power. I myself don't see the difference between it being connected TO the hero and being within arm's reach. If I'm using it, it's an ability. If I shoot a gun, I have the amazing power to fire bits of metal at a high velocity. In what way don't I?
Look, if you've given up that's fine, but don't get all huffy and just say "you're dumb" over and over in an attempt to win. A former member did that way too often.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
