The Savage Dragon was not a very good police officer, IIRC. You can't punch all of your problems away, Savage Dragon.

True, but he sure as hell wouldn't be drawn kicking anybody.

EyeballKid: True, but he sure as hell wouldn't be drawn kicking anybody.

Larson can draw feet. You're thinking of Liefeld.

Thinking to myself "Wonder woman had a job?" is probably a hint that she sucked at it.

/you'd think superman would be too busy for his day job.
/being CEO (wayne,stark) means no one cares if you never punch in.

texdent: Don't know if he still has it in the reboot.

He doesn't even work for the Daily Planet in the reboot AND Superman just "killed off" Clark Kent because he felt too many people were starting to piece it together.

I'm sure that won't stick but as for now, he's just some punk kid from Smallville who works at a local rag (though he DID have an interview at the Daily Planet, he 'blew up' before he could get there)

Meh,
Booster Gold beats them all. Booster Golds day job is being a Super Hero.

If Shane Black does a good job with Iron Man 3, I'd love to see him do a She-Hulk movie.

way south: /being CEO (wayne,stark) means no one cares if you never punch in.

90% of what Iron Man does is protecting Stark IP. The argument could be made that being a superhero is an integral part of his day job.

She-Hulk instead of Daredevil for lawyer, eh...

FirstNationalBastard: Lois Lane has to be the worst reporter ever. She can't even figure out that Clark Kent is just Superman in a pair of cheap glasses.

He even told her, in no uncertain terms, that he is Superman (in one episode of the animated series).

She thought he was just being sarcastic.

Subdue their bellies: The Savage Dragon was not a very good police officer, IIRC. You can't punch all of your problems away, Savage Dragon.

The PUNCHMASTER disagrees!!

So three of the "Best at their job" are men who inherited vast fortunes and the two worst at their job are women who work as secretaries.

In her defense, he kinda was. I forget how it went exactly, but it was something like Lois asked Clark how he got all the good Superman stories, and Clark replied something along the lines of, "Well, if you must know, I actually am Superman, and I just pose as Clark Kent so I can steal the byline from you." To which Lois paused for a second, and then said, "You're a sick man, Smallville."

salvador.hardin: So three of the "Best at their job" are men who inherited vast fortunes and the two worst at their job are women who work as secretaries.

Yes. It's almost as though people who are born to rich parents have access to the education, contacts, and resources that contribute to successful careers and being an administrative assistant is actually a hard enough job that one can't just half-ass it while running around as a superhero and hope to do a good job.

I stand corrected, and I have a new role model. Thanks for that.

How about Gambit? Does professional thief/gambler count as a day job? It sounds like a sweet gig to me.

Then enjoy PART TWO, MAN-BELIEVER!

Ooops. I was thinking of the guy who got hired on at Marvel to replace a popular artist of a popular title, shat the bed, and then went on to make unreadable Marvel rip-offs for Image.

/No, seriously, I was thinking Liefeld, just wanted to throw some snark in.

Missing from the list: Axe Cop.

Not sure which list he is missing from, though...

Spawn is pretty bad at being a soldier of hell. Or at least he was, i don't know really.. I haven't read that comic since issue #10.

I'll just leave this here...


..and grab some popcorn.

I thought the prevailing fan theory on the whole "Superman + glasses = Clark Kent," and nobody notices was that Superman utilized some sort of "mass hypnosis" mind power which tricked everyone into not realizing his ruse.

spcMike: Slaves2Darkness: Meh,
Booster Gold beats them all. Booster Golds day job is being a Super Hero.

Booster was a janitor, at least before he got demoted to being a canadian.

Booster wan't a janitor he was a night watchman. The real reason he sucked at at his day job was that he was hired to guard precious artifacts and instead decided to steal them.

The Stealth Hippopotamus: In comic books.....

In truth anyone who looked like this:



Wouldn't need to work as a secretary

Except many many of the world's secretaries are that hot. Heck, sometimes it's even a requirement to look that good.

schattenteufel: I thought the prevailing fan theory on the whole "Superman + glasses = Clark Kent," and nobody notices was that Superman utilized some sort of "mass hypnosis" mind power which tricked everyone into not realizing his ruse.

If Clark Kent had a "mass hypnosis" mind power, he could convince everyone that there really is a Superman saving the day when, in reality, there isn't. Maybe the supervillain attacks are just figments of his mind control - or maybe the attacks are real and Metropolis' surviving population is living in a smoking ruin without realizing it.

Besides that was his job before he became a Super Hero. I'm not sure it counts, because this was an article about Super Hero's who sucked at their day jobs.

That would be awesome.

I've never seen goatse drawn like that. Interesting.

Honest Bender: How the fark can you possibly claim Peter Parker is better at his day job than Bruce Wayne? Wayne may have started out rich, but he's continued to run the business very successfully... Meanwhile, Peter has trouble paying rent.

Yes, that is totally nothing like the career trajectory of the huge number of people employed as journalists over the last twenty years or so.

In the meantime, Batman has benefited from the Luthor (and Prez before him) administration fiscal policies as well as international trends in outsourcing and Asian-based logistics chains.

"As a current member of the Superhuman Law division of the law firm of Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway, Jennifer Walters is one of the best criminal defense lawyers out there."

Did she ever get her law license back after she punched her own client through a courthouse wall? They disbarred her and she spent at least a few issues as a skip tracer before they cancelled that run. I think that was back in 2009. She hasn't had an on-going title since.
