If you were a super hero, why would you spend your time in hiding?

If you were a super hero, why would you spend your time in hiding?

Why not become a public figure and get paid bank by the military for winning wars for them and be a god among men?

Because the super villians will come after your family.

I guess Dr Manhattan did this, but he's not a god among men, he's just literally a god.
Not any more likely to happen if they were kept safe in a bunker at the slightest scare of a super villain appearing.

>not being some warlord in a shithole third world country where you can literally do what you want
Not very creative with this super power thing.

I guess i'd end up feeling like a tool of the government itself, and a mask without a real name. I'd cover my identity to preserve my civil life, out of all that.

If I were a super hero I'd rather my family live a normal life, rather than force them to be kept in a bunker while I show off my massive dick by shitting on other countries and showing everyone how fucking great I am through no hard work of my own.

So it's better to squander your abilities by arresting bank robbers and common thieves?

(fighting off super villains will still be there in either scenario so don't bring it up)

>all the degenerates here care about family

Man fuck that id be big dick shitting all over town. Motherfucking government would be more likely to kill me just in case i dont cooperate than fucking hiring me. It would be comparable to an uncontrollable nuke. They cant risk it
The whole topic is flawed for that reason alone. All governments would likely just gangbang you with all their military might until none of them are at risk of random genocide on the whim of some limp dick fuck who won the genetic lottery in a massive way.

Government restrictions and shit. Did you watch the Civil War movie? He minute you start working FOR someone, you subjugate yourself to all their rules and restrictions. Also too much red tape.

If I were a super hero, I'd save who I wanted, when I wanted to. And I would take shit from anyone.. unless they were more super powers then me and could kick my ass.

Free heros are best heros.

Literally, this is half of the plot of Watchmen.

>implying every super hero has a family

If your going to live a life of strife, you might as well be a billionaire because of bit.

Multiple reasons depending on the individual. Most people who suddenly have super powers and hide their true identity actual have a life they liked living and a family they want to provide a normal life for.

BUT if you're not a family person and you don't give a shit about anybody or you have nobody to give a shit about, then yes; becoming a public figure/paid bank by military yada yada yada is the way to go.

>Leave note to family on whats going on and disappear
>Disappear completely
>Change name basically
>Become super hero
>Public figure as fuck
>Get citizenship and social security number
>Make bank doing super hero shit
>Parents see me on the news and know its me

The only thing that would suck would be never getting to see my parents again, but whatever, they'll know I'm saving the world and being a superhero and shit. Least they'll be proud.

>If I'm a super hero though, couldn't I just disappear for mini vacations every now and then and go see my family?

In this day and age, you'd get sued every time you saved someone and there was any little amount of collateral damage. You'd be broke.

Spiderman saves someone from getting hit by a car by swinging down,grabbing them and wisking them up into the air, swinging from web strand to web strand until he can put them down somewhere safe. Gets sued because after swinging down and rescuing that person, people are gawking and there are 3 traffic accidents as people are gawking at him, and he's the big bucks to sue.

Hulk - Well, just look at everything he smashes, he gets sued into the ground.

Batman - Private ownership of illegal weapons, same thing for Ironman.

If you're a superhero, you don't want anyone knowing who the fuck you are.

>Batman
I'll give you that one. He would be severely limited if held accountable for all his secret technology, but spiderman? He spends 1/2 his time trying to save his loved ones anyway, and he's broke af.

Work for the government? Fuck that shit, the governments of the world would be working for me. I would work to create my own civilization if I had superpowers

>In this day and age, you'd get sued every time you saved someone and there was any little amount of collateral damage

Non-shitholes have Good Samaritan legislation that protects do-gooders
Some places even have mandatory samaritan laws: you are legally obligated to help in any way you can

the reason the Hulk does it is because he's an atrocity waiting to happen.
it's hard for him to do what he does without a lot of collateral damage and although he's a super hero, he does still feel human emotions.

Hulk probably has the best reason for doing it, the others, not so sure.

thats called being a super villain.

If people had superpowers in real life, I doubt any of them would be heroes.

because you're a shitty super hero, if you're good enough you can erase all bad things on earth in 3 days, maybe less.

Villian things

it doesn't matter dude. "get sued" is a buzzword that people like him use to deride the system for its perceived shortcomings.

"get sued" is an enormous shortcoming and there are plenty of shitholes without good samaritan laws.
