    I vaguely remember some stories, he does do the whole non-profit thing, too. It’s still a little bit too pro-billionaire but yeah, in their setting it’s quite likely the government is too corrupt.

    Also he fucking funds other superheroes, so it’s a little hard to say what actually works in that crazy universe. I can’t imagine superheroing to be profitable.

      In some of the Silver Age comics, Superman has a vast fortune from old Spanish treasure ships he can find deep undersea. Yet no one ever calls Supes on being a skinflint.
