World Superhero Federation

If nobody can fly, and nobody can have heat vision, it would seem that real-life superheroes would be too far-fetched. Nonetheless, real-life superheroes maybe closer than you think. Besides the heroic deeds of firefighters, police, and actors dressed in spandes, the closest thing to superheroes would be surprisingly, professional wrestlers.
In a way, they parallel heroes in such a way that they each have their own gimmicks, they have their own costumes, have their own moves, and they portray the classic good vs. evil scheme in their storylines. And of course, they are marketed like superheroes,where even the supernatural such as The Undertaker or even WWE's former superhero The Hurricane come lay the smack down in their own super-feats. Some of them even attempt to fly as they showcase their agility and even moves such the "Super-plex". And the masks where they hide their secret identities also come to mind. They're also larger than life, real - except for the match results.
