I mean…
Charles Xavier, Professor X – wheelchair-bound, paraplegic/chronic pain from leg injuries (in some comics arcs, he can walk; it’s just excruciating for him)
Matt Murdock, Daredevil – blind
Tony Stark, Iron Man – did you miss the heart condition? Also spent some time paraplegic in comics
Doctor Strange – nerve damage in his hands
Deadpool – cancer, chronic pain
Bucky Barnes, Winter Soldier – lost an arm, replaced with cybernetics
Nick Fury – lost an eye
Colonel James Rhodes, War Machine – paraplegic in movies; in comics, suffers extensive injuries requiring extensive cybernetics
That’s all stuff you can see in the movies. And then in comics:
Barbara Gordon, Oracle – wheelchair-bound, paraplegic
Clint Barton, Hawkeye – hearing loss, in at least some comic arcs
Hank Pym – bipolar disorder
Victor Stone, Cyborg – multiple injuries requiring extensive cybernetics, dysphoria from same
Dr. Midnite – blind
Cassandra Cain, Batgirl/Black Bat – was mute when introduced, still struggles with verbal communication in some comic arcs
Echo – deaf
Misty Knight – lost an arm, replaced with cybernetics
Puck – dwarfism
Thor – in comics, when he’s Donald Blake, he requires a cane to get around
Moon Knight – dissociative identity disorder
And that’s just ones I can think of who’ve had their own titles or are on big-name teams with titles.
