yeah but not all the cars get destroyed. also, they are not destroyed daily. but the premium will be insane because there is a big risk. people that know the world could be invaded by aliens any given day and their car will be used as a clobbering bat by superman will have no choise Lol

Superpower Business

Super Soldier Serum
Symbiote
Adamantium Lacing
Gamma Radiation

Etc, probably 1 Billion Dollars Each

Nah. You just set your margins accordingly. Higher percentage of superhero-related damage, the higher the premium. Then market it using fear-based advertising, and suddenly even people in rural bum-f*ck nowhere are overpaying for it. You'd pay out a lot more but would be able to add an entirely new revenue stream to what's already a lucrative business.

But it has to be low enough that you don't just go out and buy a new car.

With the amount of events and fights happening seemingly on the daily, it'll be pretty much confirmed that you're gonna get a payout.

SOME people may be able to pay the premiums, sure. But no one gives, say, blind people car insurance.

Would probably sell a crap ton of Kryptonite and get out

This lacks the appeal of a heaadbutt fest thread.

the thing is, people are risk haters. thats psychology and thats how insurance companies work. if someone doesnt make insurance, he will see infront of him not only the probability of losing not only the car he owns right now, but also his future car. imagine losing a car after another. people will pay much higher premium just to sleep well at night and know it will be all covered. now, even if we say the attacks are frequent, its not like all cars in metropolis are destroyed. maybe a line of cars in some block or something. the high premium will make a very good profit. people will buy the policies because they are simply afraid of rist.

there will be season 2 of the headbutt threads, i am just trying to make it good, better than season 1.

I'd go into the Superhero fashion business. Clothes that are tough enough to survive a fight against the baddest of the bad, yet fashionable enough to walk around with. I'd have different lines ranging from sports, casual, semi formal, and formal wear. They'd be made of unstable molecules which Reed Richards created. I'd give him a percentage of the income, and go crazy making all kinds of clothes.

it also could make some profit to open a psychiatric and psychological clinic in any of the major cities, such as gotham, metropolis, new york atc atc. think about it, getting all kind of aliens, mutants, criminals trying to take over the city all the damn time. robbing banks blowing up blocks. buildings on fire... you know the amount of people having trauma after that shit? cha ching $$$

I tend to think comics just gloss over the boring days. Every now and then a writer throws a bone to readers to that affect, basically stating that "normally" this stuff isn't constantly going down, but without being so obvious about it. Like, Spidey will have some throwaway line like "Man, it's been nice recently. The city's been quiet for what seems like months. But why can't I shake the feeling that that robbery the other night was connected to something bigger..." or some other sh*t like that.

And sure, New York would be a net loss. But it's one you'd make up for with basically anywhere else on most comic book Earths.

I'd want a business that deals with radioactive materials. Within a few years something would almost definitely happen to give me super powers. Especially if I adopted a "jump on the grenade" type mentality anytime something went wrong lol

I think the Power broker was this shadow organization from Avenger/Captain america comics that was making superhumans (10-ton level bricks) and there was Damage control which was a company that fixed areas after superhuman fights. They even almost got a network tv show or something like that

damn great idea. only thing is, you will probably want to make statistics and avoid taking projects that take place in dangerous areas. wouldnt want to be in the middle of rebuilding something for like half a year, only to get it destroyed once again and start all over. contracts usually bond you until you finish the job. however you could probably change the terms to uncontrollable circumstance that damage your work after lets say 80% of rebuilding. then again i could expend and make insurance for realestate as well. that way people wont be afraid to go into rebuilding contracts.

Been a happily married man for quite some time but in my youth touching the dancers in a strip club was never a problem as long as there was a c-note (or 2) in the fingers doing the touching.

No trouble at all

So you're a pervert AND a liar.

Totally banned.

Totally banned.

In what way have I lied???
Everyones a pervert its human nature (actually the nature of all livi g things) to strive to propagate.

I'm not the one starting a a brothel BTW. I mean you said gentlemans club and thats the title on the door of every brothel on the Australian Gold Coast (where I live).

Liar? I meant tossing around 'c notes', and i said it tongue in cheek, as i dont know/care what you spent your monopoly money on, in your youth.
Its funny how defensive you got, though, immediately putting down my pretend business like it was a big reveal as to what a brothel is.

I would say something about how its because your pervy hands, and tossed c notes led to your now married state, and you dont like to be reminded, but that'd be mean.

OT: Come down to The Comic Strip, first drink's on the house, folks!

I only got defensive to the term liar.

There is no one alive who would have a lower opinion of myself than me. I've suffered depression most of my life and through my 20's and 30's contemllated suicide on at least a weekly basis. I'm the absolute first to admit there is no way in hell a woman would have had anything to do with me when i was younger without being paid.

No this didnt lead to my marriage (though I came close to marrying a woman I was a former John of). My wife was introduced to me by a work mate. Shes vastly too bloody good for me and deserves much better, and I cant beleive to this day that she tolerates a worthless piece of $#!+ like me. In that regard I'm totally blessed and have been also blessed with three wonderful kids, who to be honest also deserve a better father.

FTR if your club was real I wouldnt darken its doors while my wife lives. I haven't been near a strip bar, brothel, pulic bar or gambling establishment since we married. Given before I knew her I was a drunk who went straight to the pub every day after work and gambled what ever income I didn't drink or spend on hores and strippers thats quite amazing. I expect if she passes before me I'll crawl back into a bottle and my other vices in a heart beat but no way would i put her through that.

Well this thread just got real.


Good job on your sobriety Beatboks!! Proud of you.

Lol great point

O.T being addicted to gambling I'd become a bookie taking bets on super hero battles. Who each would face nex/when/ who wins/ in what time/ how many innocents die or are hurt/ what level of calatoral damage etc.


Given that i probably couldnt resist raising the stakes again and again I'd make a fortune and probably loose 2.

The Comic Strip??? This should be a thing IRL.

I'd probably have a Sanctuary/Resort for everyone that in the game but just needs a break. like in john wick
