Well, that just ruins it for everyone.

toddalcott has to go and ruin Spider-Man 3 by getting all logical on it.

Although I think Peter not being able to make money off of his S-M activities is an established part of the charcter. Although an agent and offshore accounts would probably be a really good idea at this point.

I love people who think logic still applies to a movie about a guy who sticks to walls and shoots webs out of his wrists. It's fun to make puns and watch them assume I'm being serious.

When you mentioned Peter not making money off his "S/M" activities, I thought of something completely different.

("Oooh, tie me up baby...")

I had the same thought...

At least I know I'm not the only one.

How many superheroes do make money off their own hero status or abilities?

I remember an episode of Justice League Unlimited with illegal superhero prizefighting. But in general, where do superheroes get their money? How can super-groups maintain their organizations and secret bases? Not everyone is the heir to the Wayne Empire.

Government sponsorship, sometimes.

Superman probably robs other plants of their riches in his spare time, because Superman is a dick (http://www.superdickery.com).

PLANETS, goddammit.

He's solar-powered, right? So he's always stealing from plants!

Please make more mistakes because that is an awesome icon.

That's a big part of a lot of heroes lives. In Marvel, you either have a sugar daddy (The X-Men have the Xavier fortune, the Avengers have the Maria Stark Foundation) or a job you have to juggle (Spider-Man and Daredevl), or occasionally go broke (the FF have had to hitchhike to California to take jobs in Hollywood once upon a time, until Reed's unstable molecules patent made them all rich).

In DC, they have jobs, but money is never an option. They have a lot of playboy millionaires among them (Batman, Green Arrow, Crimoson Avenger).

There were some DC Speedstes from the USSR who, after the fall of communism, became couriers. I have NO idea how the Punsiher funds his crusade, except possibly with money he takes off corpses. Dr. Strange has an awesome house, but he used to be a surgeon.

THe only hereo I can think of that directly made money of of his heroics would be Booster Gold when he got corporate sponsorship and his costume looked like a NASCAR driver's suit.

Yeah, he's all about the big endorsements. And Captain wassisface from Mystery Men.
