Can an average person who works a full time job become capable enough to rival a secret agent like James Bond or John Wick on their own ? (lemmings.world)

If so what kind of training they would have to go through ? By training I mean the spatial and situational awareness, combat skills (this is kinda unrealistic), enough knowledge to turn any situation to their advantage etc.

Just think of the person as your average joe who financially has nothing to spend on high tech gadgets or state of the art training equipment. And doesn't even have any support from another human being. Basically one has to train from the ground up alone.

Don't limit the answers to just James Bond and John wick, you can even consider any realistically possible superhero or supervillain (like batman or taskmaster) as well.

So what's your take ?

John Wick and James Bond and superheroes and supervillains are not realistically possible. Otherwise we would have them.

Both John Wick and James Bond are secret people with cover stories. We don’t know whether there are people like that or not, because by their nature they are hidden from public view.
