The Holy Grail of super day jobs: being paid to be a full time superhero! Like all things that seem too good to be true, this isn't exactly easy to get. First off, it usually requires [[No Secret Identity|you to give up your secret[[Secret identityIdentity]], then you'll either need some government agency or corporation to sponsor you, or be brilliant enough that your grants will pay for everything. Then, be prepared to have absolutely no downtime: you'll be expected to leap into action for anything, which, if you find having a normal life as well as a super one important, might be a turn off. But, if everything goes well, you'll be living like a king doing what you would be doing anyway; you'll have ton of respect, groupies, a cool house and a ludicrous bank account that probably won't ever empty. Of course, one crisis later and you might lose it all, but, don't worry, [[Status Quo Is God|you'll get it back... eventually]]. You'll be joining such luminaries as:
 
* All the [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers]], particularly after [[Marvel Civil War]].
** Special mention goes to [[Quasar (comics)|Quasar]], as that was sort of his "gimmick"; he was a superhero because he really wasn't qualified to be anything else.
* [[The Fantastic Four]].
* [[Watchmen (comics)|Edward Blake, Adrian Veidt and Dr. Manhattan]]
Line 155 ⟶ 157:
* ''Paperinik'' is a way; since his alter ego is [[Donald Duck]], he retains Donald's habit of being unemployed, unemployable, or stuck in temporary low-paying menial jobs most of the time. In a fit of [[Fridge Brilliance]], while this is explained by Donald's general bad habits, bad luck and less than stellar personality in regular Disney comics, in these stories the fact that Donald has to run off all the time, spends all nights patrolling, and constantly lies about his whereabouts gets him fired again and again.
* [[The Adventures of Superhero Girl|Superhero Girl]]
* [[Flaming Carrot]], literally a vagrant when not being a hero.
