Sounds like Unbreakable, except the man in question had brittle bone disease, rather than being the victim of an amusement park accident.

Yeah, it sounds like Unbreakable. Does this scene look familiar?

I can't remember the name of this movie about a serious black man who is obssessed with comic book superheroes.
-An accident at an amusement park landed him in the hospital for bulk of his childhood, leaving him with comics to pass the time. -There was a scene where some guy wanted to by a rare piece of super hero art as a present for his toddler, but the man sternly said no.
