Why aren't superheroes out there helping the homeless, the starving, and the unfortunate?

Question

Why can't the Hulk throw a bake sale? The Beast teaching illiterate people how to read? What other characters would be good at certain charitable causes. (car wash, selling girl scout cookies)

For people that are supposedly into comics/fantasy, you're all taking this a bit too seriously...lol

Answer 1

because they're not hot chicks

Answer 2

Simple: that stuff doesn't sell. About the closest you'll probably get to that sort of scenario, unless it's a small scene as a backstory or diversion, would be the old Hostess Fruit Pie commercials where Spider-Man or the Hulk would defeat their enemies with pies (wow, what a flashback). Honestly, though, if someone made an entire book based on a superhero who feeds & shelters the unfortunate, it would bomb worse than the Marvel character Freedom Ring.

Answer 3

hi, this is going to look slightly brutal...... that's great which you fairly elect to aim yet except they are in a position to boil and devour the leather-based off the shoes you gave and build a hut out of your toys and garments you will not have helped plenty. i'm sorry to knock you down yet there are human beings available who could make a genuine difference, with funds. funds to construct housing and purchase foodstuff you purely might desire to prize it from there tight fists. Spend slightly time sending begging letters to wealthy human beings, that could be fruitful, quite coming from a 12 year previous. Take your clothing to a charity save and your toys to an orphanage. Homelessness and ravenous is something that has been around for generations. no count what every person does you will constantly locate yet another candidate purely around the corner. bypass

Answer 4

unless the superpower is creating food, water, shelter, & money out of thin air - that sort of help is generally out of the realm of superheroes(c) [don't wanna get sued by DC or Marvel]

besides, do you buy Hulk comics to see the Hulk throw a bake sale? I think not (unless Hulk smash cake...)

Answer 5

mmm. yeah i'm sure this is really gonna sell! the makers of these cartoons are init for the money! kids wanna see big exciting explosioons and fighting the bad guys. at least 'captain planet' had a nemisis and bad guys that he could whack! but, i meen really... could you really see a big muscly guy with laswer eyes and a big red cape running around politely telling people what to do. or saving all those hungry kids in africa. well to start with, kids wouldnt even know whats going on maybe even get the wrong idea. what would u call that man? that SUPER hero. wow. what amazing powers you have. you clean that park, yeah u beat poverty.
well anyway. im rambling. thats my bit. thanks!

Answer 6

because superhereos arent real! of course i would like to see hulk .superman or spiderman having a car wash in a bikini

Answer 7

There are some problems that can't be solved with magic spells and power rings. This is because those things are not real.

Answer 8

Because there's nothing really "super" about activities like that. We already have tons of organizations or people to do do charity work.

Answer 9

everyone is a superhero himself.....y dont we become superheroes and start doing good works?y to wait for a super hero?start from today

Answer 10

tell me when you'll be back to the real world then i'll set up your appointment with the head shrinker.

Answer 11

Erm.......because there is no such thing as a super-hero in the modern world obviously.
