Superhero Classifications

What makes a superhero? Is it superpowers, genetics or just dumb luck?

(I am just going by what was presented on Marvel and DC Comics' sites.)

Wonder Woman - genetically blessed by Goddesses with her Powers.
Superman gets his Powers from our Sun.
Spiderman - genetic alteration via radioactive spider bite.
Incredible Hulk - genetic alteration via gamma rays
Green Lantern - powered by the ring, given to him by an alien
Captain America - genetic alteration
Wolverine - genetic (although I thought it was an alteration. and NONE of the Mutants can be counted as anything but genetic)
Batman - has no super powers, but has super gadgets (don't be mad AR, I aint dissin the Bat!)

Don't get me wrong - I love superheroes because they have a sense of right and will provide the community with a great service for years to come. But with the exception of Wonder Woman and Batman, they either need some sort of external stimuli to exist or have been genetically altered.
