Why are arm forces and law enforcement so useless in comics?

I understand that with comic every other character can destroy a planet and such. But there is also advance tech that normal people use to take on these god-like beings ironman/batman tech for example. Knowing that why is the military or police so poorly prepared and basically cannon fodder in comics?

Have you ever been robbed or had something stolen or been assaulted? Over the course of my life all these things have happened to me. Not once has calling the police done any good. One time I called the police because my car was stolen. Two days later, i decided to drive around to see if I could find it. I found it about half an hour later in a nearby parking lot. The police are a good psychological deterrent to crime, but I've never known them to catch anyone who wasn't just so stupid that it beggars the imagination.

Yeah I agree with you its silly. At least The Flash (TV series) tried to show that army have some kinda power 😆 Army tried to get some meta-humans and use them as a weapon.

As with everything.

Well no, I don't think that's actually fair. In comics the cops and stuff have pretty much the same training and equipment that IRL cops have. And in the comics it's not like Stark can give the NYPD repulsors for every cop on the beat, you know. That's why there are superheros in the first place, to deal with the jacked up villains normal law enforcement can't deal with.

Why do superheroes never need to use the bathroom?
