I was just wondering how would someone who has superpowers make money legally? Would it be of any additional help to find a job? It has to be legal and not in sports.
Like, if someone could fly like Superman, but perhaps not have super strength and speed, what job could find this useful? People already use helicopters and drones whenever they need to fly.
Or invisibility. I guess as a spy or a government assassin, but that still doesn't look like it would help him to get far. Maybe it would be best for paparazzi, but that borders on illegal.
Or great strength where someone could lift five tonnes with their hands. There are already plenty of machines that can do that.
Or super speed like Flash. Maybe as a delivery person but to some rich clients. Still, he would probably be slowed down by border customs.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
