The job: Superhero

You might like this job if: You like truth, justice, the American way, striking fear into the hearts of evildoers, exercising great responsibility with your great powers, defending a world that fears and hates you, etc.  Also, a healthy dose of hating evil and enjoying kicking bad guys in the face wouldn’t hurt.

The good: You get to fight evil, champion the innocent, stop super-crime, and possess abilities far beyond those of mere mortals…

The bad: …if you were in a comic book.  If you tried to be a super hero in real life, you’d probably end up like these guys, dressing up in homemade costumes and doing more community outreach than crime-fighting.  Not to mention that being a vigilante is illegal.  And forget about making money doing it.  Want to make cash with superhero licensing?  Get into making comic books.

Summary: A nice daydream, but if you really want to fight crime, join the police.

Rating: Five mint-condition copies of Action Comics #1 out of five
