How Do Most Heroes Make A Living?

[arp2008]

Where does the FF's income from? Ms. Marvels? Caps? The X-Mens now that they're in SanFran? Luke Cages? What do these and other heroes do for a living to pay the bills?

The FF are millionaires thanks to Reed Richards scientific patents. Avengers like Cap and Ms. Marvel get paid for being full-time Avengers (used to be 1000 a week for active membership), but have both held down jobs over the years (Cap was a freelance illustrator and cop and one point).

The X-Men are fully funded by Xavier's fortune (historically, not sure as of right now) and Luke Cage has more or less been a Hero for Hire for the duration of his career.

Where does the punisher get his money from

Where does the punisher get his money from

The mobsters and gang members he kills.


The X-Men are currently funded by Warren Worthington III. Actually, thats kind of a common theme with a lot of the superheroes. When an interesting day job cant be thought up, they tend to be independently wealthy or have some sort of inheritance to fund them.

Where does the punisher get his money from
I always though he was either supplied by his current micro chip type sidekick or just stole what he needed. Or took the amaments off the dead bodies off people he kills.

Where does the FF's income from?

Lots of places. IIRC the Richard and Storm families already had a fair amount of money (from Reed’s dad’s inventions and Sue and Johnny’s dad’s business) even before the team was created. Reed makes a lot of money from inventions (heck, sometimes companies pay him NOT to put his creations on the market), lectures, ect. The team itself makes a lot of money off of licensing their likenesses (I think Johnny is still the head of the company they created to manage their business interests).

Ms. Marvels?

The military, I’d think.

Caps?

Steve is generally supported by the army (didn’t he get back pay for the decades he was frozen?) or SHIELD but he’s supported himself with odd jobs in the past. He was once the artist on the Captain America comic (no, really).

I always kind of assumed Bucky was funded by money stolen from terrorists and/or whatever Nick Fury can spare to help out.

The X-Mens now that they're in SanFran?

I could have sworn that Angel paid for almost everything even when the Prof was around so I don’t see why anything would change now.

Luke Cages?

These days? He steals money from the drug dealers he catches.

He and Iron Fist used to be "heroes for hire" though (not that Danny really needed the money).

What do these and other heroes do for a living to pay the bills?

Spider-Man mooches off his supermodel wife … wait, what was I talking about?

HOW DOES Peter Parker support himself now that reality has been rewritten? I heard he quit his job at the Bugle so he could work for an online news site staffed by all the good ex-Bugle people (and Sally Floyd for some reason) but I was under the impression that the pay for those kinds of sites is terrible.

Daredevil is a lawyer.

Danvers got money from the air force.

Spider-Man tries to make ends meet by being a photographer for Front Line.

I did NOT know that Cap was an illustrator. Awesome.

A lot of the other full-time heroes are just born wealthy.
