I know Superman and Spiderman work in the newspaper industry and guys like Iron Man and Batman are billionares who inherited money and run enterprises...and some are on government payroll like with shield but how does someone like Wolverine make money...these people gotta eat and buy beer and stuff

and if they had a career job where would they have time or incentive to fight crime...If I had superpowers first of all i'd be some sort of pro athlete at least and if that wasn't allowed i'd have to go and be some sort of accountant where in the world would I have time to fight super villains and why would I risk it if I wasn't getting paid for it?

Power Man and IronFist are mercenaries...they take jobs and get paid for their services:yeshrug:

EDIT: and im pretty sure Professor X gets money from his school and possibly government subsidies (before they knew it was a mutant safehouse maybe?) to pay all his X-Men.

Yeah, all the senior staff x-men are also teachers at Prof. X's school, so I'm sure they get a salary of some sort. And Professor X is rich himself.

Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards) is a scientist.
the Fantastic Four got their powers when they went up into space and got blasted with cosmic rays.

i can understand why Reed would get sent up into space but why the fukk did the rest of them get sent up?
what did they do for a living that qualified them to go to space?

I believe at least one of them was an astronaut (Ben possibly) and Sue was his wife, so...

I don't think I'd even work if I gained a super ability. I'd hit a bank, retire myself, and find a piece of land to make my own.

I wouldn't even try to :cape: unless some shyt was happening before my eyes.
