    Default Zatanna could make a profit with her powers

    How many of us have painful memories of a heart break or a parent's murder? In the DC world, a guy could go up to Zatanna and pay her a lot of money to wipe away his memories of a horrible past. Heck, I would pay her to help me if she was real.

    Yes, I'm aware memories could be restored, but didn't that happened with villains?

    Well Zatanna chose to be a stage performer and make a lot of money that way. Also, if I am not mistaken, Zatanna became increasingly uncomfortable with wiping people's minds.

    Are there any superheroes that couldn't make a profit with their powers?

    'Mm,' she agreed. 'He's a little bit dodgy in the same way that rats are a little bit covered in fur."

    Most of them. I believe that was the rationale for the Elongated Man and Zatanna not to join the league until the 70s. Both celebrities who cash on their powers (and have with no secret identities).

    Oddly enough, by the mid-80s that seemed to be the most comfortable type of JLAer. Vixen, Gypsy, Vibe, Aquaman, Ralph, Zatanna, J'Onn, Booster, Rocket red, Fire, Ice, Mr. Miracle, Captain Atom, Metamorpho and Power Girl pretty much worked as superheroes, some were involved in entertainment, most din't have the rigid doble-life of day-job-as-Clark, superhero-as-Superman.
    Characters: Elongated Man, Batman, Satellite JLA, Super Buddies, Sandman, Swamp Thing
    Writers: Moore, Gaiman, Cooke, Giffen/DeMatteis, Miller, Dini, Morrison, Waid, Meltzer, McDuffie, Barr, Englehart

    Couldn't make a profit, not don't make a profit.

    Most superheroes could make a profit. Some are much better than others.
