biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist:

more characters with superpowers who look into the whole superhero thing and decide “hm no i do not want to participate in this actually”

to be clear i’m not saying they turn to supervillainy. they just look at their superpower-based career options and decide to go in an unrelated direction. dental hygienist. supply chain management. HVAC technician in surprisingly high demand

this but it’s for the same reason that people with rare talents IRL don’t usually end up in a job that uses their rare talents (all the jobs available are minimum wage retail, jobs that require rare talents are rare and therefore go to the boss’s friends and relatives before anyone else, even if those people don’t actually have the requisite talents)

superhero squad who ONLY ever use their powers to achieve the superhuman feat of actually getting their dream job. (Dream job is work in a library or something)
