death tribble Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 The Flame was originally a salesman and that is not there. The British Bulldog was in the building trade a brickie before becoming auxiliary police officer. Another character was a police officer. The Magician was a performer. Thaw was a CEO. Arachneida was a librarian The Avenger was a journalist Moonlight Shadow was an ex-con technically The Voidwalker was an alien but his original human side was an astronomer Energiser was a model Darklight/Electralite was at school Negative Man was a scientist Dr Density was a scientist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I'm really surprised there weren't more votes for engineer / inventor. It seems like every gadgeteer hero, starting with Iron Man and working your way down, would fit into that slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Cab Driver listed there, and I think that's fairly close. While I don't want to alter the results I may have used this as an avatar on another forum.

Certified Posted August 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 5 hours ago, Badger said: What about unemployed? Part of the idea behind the Talent groups is this is what someone might have experience in, that doesn't necessarily dictate that they are actively employed. Drifter could could possibly serve as a guideline for someone chronically unemployed or homeless if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's not called that, there is the performer, they likely match in a lot of ways with Talents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest we get here is Insurance Officer, sorry I don't have anything closer in the poll. This was based on a few lists of common super hero professions.

Michael Hopcroft Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 In a rationally designed Champions world (at least as rational as you can get in a world where the laws of physics and thermodynamics are at best suggestions), superhero would be a profession in itself. Few if any day jobs would tolerate employees who disappear for extended periods of time to do hero stuff. If superheroes are going to act as unofficial government agents, the government might as well pay for their upkeep. Of course, the question of what the government wants in exchange has a lot of story possibilities. So how does Superman earn a living from being Superman?

Clark Kent may need a living, but Superman does not. The Fortress of Solitude is all the shelter he needs. His costume does not wear out. He is solar powered and does not actually need to eat. What would Superman need a "living" for? Lucius Alexander Palindromedary Enterprises: It's a Living Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Certified Posted September 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 The idea of a full time super hero job gets addressed to some extent in the MCU, with Tony Stark subsidizing the cost of being a hero. I guess, every team just needs a billionaire, philanthropist, playboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certified Posted September 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 From the Teen Titans to Power Pack, event the PJ Masks, heroes come in all sizes. Not every hero has a career, or is even part of the job market. Teen heroes, college students, we look at some of the key Talents of the kids who happen to be heroes at night. http://housedok.com/day-jobs-6-student/ Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
