You gotta find a glowing green lamp, have a wizard with an anagram for a name give you the power based on how good a person you are, do the years of training because dead parents thing, or stand near a vat of chemicals during a lightning storm.
This is assuming no gods giving you the powers or aliens involved.

If she wanted to build an Ironman suit, it would cost about $100,420,000, about the price of an f-35. A suit of Batman armor might be cheaper, but it would come at the cost of a lifetime of grief after losing one’s parents at an early age, and years of training in martial arts and forensic scienceshttp://io9.com/5533077/how-much-would-it-cost-to-build-a-real-iron-man-suit
