!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Batman: I could see a street level Batman without as many gadgets in a more rudimentary batcave still be Batman. I think this is because if you take away all of the wealth Batman is still Batman, an excellent detective with extensive martial arts training who enjoys terrorizing criminals.
Iron Fist: that's a title, like Ghost Rider or Spawn there are other Iron Fists that are not rich. So while not exactly the same there are some Iron Fists that are not rich.
Iron Man: I don't think Iron man without money would work. Either you would have to change a core detail of him or it wouldn't make sense that he's not rich. The main defining characteristic of Iron man is his suit, which requires an extraordinary power source. So either he doesn't understand the power source (e.g. it's an alien artifact) or you would have to explain why he doesn't sell products with a similar power source and becomes rich.
The problem with Batman and him having extensive martial arts training is the fact that to have extensive martial arts training like that you have to be wealthy. To travel the world to do the sales to train and all the styles he did typically requires a certain level of comfort in order to afford the luxury of not only traveling but then spending enough time to master those things while at the same time feeding yourself and taking care of yourself. Not only that but the amount of gadgets he has is definitely high level. If he weren't he'd be closer to like say Daredevil who lived a comfortable life but had nowhere near any money to do all the training he did. Daredevil fortunately has a superpower in his hearing and sense of sight through that. Iron fist was much the same way. Extensive martial arts training because he was rich enough to go get the extensive martial arts training. Ironman is definitely one that needs to have the money. I mean we have the example of iron heart who was not very rich had to rebuild everything and wall yes genius level had nowhere near the resources to build the many Mark versions of her suit and we can see how much struggle she's had to even maintain the one she currently has. Which she did have to steal to be able to get in the first place.
