Off My Mind: When Superheroes Become Homeless

What a depressing thread. A superhero should always have at least some form of income coming in whether that be a day job or a night job. They need to work too. Only lazy super-heroes will end up homeless.

I'm surprised this hasn't been pushed harder.  Any job that can pay the bills is 50+ hours a week with hardly any vacation time.  If you are a super hero outside of Tony Stark's wealth or an Avengers stipend, when do you have time to work and save people?  Not to mention, it's not like jobs are easy to come by anymore.  At least half of the super-types should be on the streets or in shelters when you think about it.  This is an area that should be explored more in depth.  Though, possibly in a couple of years when the economy is stronger and our need for escapism a little less.

Now I'm sad.

Dang. It hurts to see a grown man cry, especially after reading that caption. I feel all depressed now.

Very sad about D-Man.

Sounds silly(not the article) to me. Why wouldn't the other super heroes pitch together and give him a lot of money? Why couldn't at least ONE other super hero let him stay at their place? Heck Bruce Wayne could set them up at his mansion.

(Fix)

Thanks, G-Man :)

 
 D-man has been portrayed as a very down on his luck hero who always does the right thing, yet never has his own home to call his own. It's a sad story and Stark and Steve Rogers could help him more than ever now.

I think those less fortunate should try and become part of a better estabilished team, with headquarters and all, share the situation with them. I mean, c'mon, they are heroes, they look like the sort who would help a fellow hero, they help people they don't even know and always on a daily basis.
Something else came up to mind now, I don't know if this has been tried in a history before, but: with so many heroes out there that are orphans, why don't they try to raise an orphanage? They could help the world by setting a close example for those kids in need, caring for them and all. Sure, they would be sure targets to super villains, but that's something for the writers to turn into a good story!

Is Bruce Banner homeless also? How come Marvel or many of the character's writer fail to explore the extent of the Hulk's state of homelessness?

D-Man makes me so sad now...

I'm sorry for D-man

I agree with @Journey Into Chaos: , asking heroes to register does cause too many problems.
