Sure, but how does he earn money that way? Organ purchasing is illegal. But he can earn up to $3,500 for six office visits and 4 overnight stays. That’s just giving money away! And wolverine’s practically immortal so what’s a few days to him?
Mister Rik:
It’s probably significant, then, that it was Guy who asked him why he didn’t just use his ring to make the money. It would certainly be strange for any Green Lantern to not understand the impermanence of ring-structures, but maybe Guy didn’t really get it back then.
Well, it’s illegal here…
Wolverine would do best in dangerous lines of work, like a stuntman, crab fisherman, or underwater welder. He’s probably the most blue-collar superhero too. The little guy would find happiness; right up until Sabertooth shows up.
Ah, well see, I thought it was you asking the question 
When did this Buk/Guy encounter take place?
Sorry. Sole rights go to Aquaman. You didn’t think the fabulous riches of Atlantis were accumulated by hard work, did you? :dubious:
An Aquaman is a hoarder - doesn’t put it back in the economy.
Some of them have utterly mundane day jobs. Iceman, IIRC, grew up to be an accountant. Pretty sure Kitty Pryde and Johnny Storm went to college; some of the other teens may eventually have done, too. The “Doc” part of Doc Samson refers to his MD – he’s a working psychiatrist. She-Hulk and Daredevil are lawyers; I think both normally handle criminal defense cases, but they’ve also both been known to dabble in corporate law, i.e., fix Tony Stark’s life for him. I think a fair amount of Northstar’s income is from his previous work as a professional athlete, and then a memoir he wrote about it, although its popularity was partially because he talked a lot about being a mutant. Beast is a semi-professional researcher, but his supergenius isn’t part of his mutation, just an amusing coincidence.
Being on the run also tends to interfere with long-term employment. Bruce Banner, who is chronically stuck avoiding the authorities, does a lot of anonymous odd jobs while hitchhiking around. (One of his alter egos, Joe Fixit (the gray Hulk), likes to work for the mob, much to Banner’s horror.) Wolverine used to do much the same hitchhiking-and-picking-up-work bit, but as he was not a weenie government researcher, his work tended to be… er, a little rougher.
A few of them do actually use their superpowers. Nightcrawler used to be a circus performer before he got sucked into saving the world, as did his foster sister Daytripper. Stephen Strange sort of works as a consulting sorcerer-for-hire. Captain America started out fully owned and operated by the US Army, and I imagine all of the active Avengers are getting their paychecks, openly or otherwise, from someone in the government specifically in charge of paying unusual but useful people like them.
I’d place my bet on Namor if it’s all the same to you.
Mister Rik:
A Guy-G’nort story that ran in Green Lantern (1990 series) # 9-12. I’m not sure precisely which of these issues that happened in. Most likely one of the middle two.
IIRC, Captain America has used his steroid-enhanced physique to work not as a professional boxer – which would presumably be unfair – but as a professional boxer’s sparring partner. (He’s also earned paychecks as a comic-book illustrator, gaining praise for drawing fight scenes as if he’d experienced them first-hand.)
Though, that hasn’t always been the case…at least in the 1980s, when I was reading Iron Man, Stark still maintained the fiction that the guy in the Iron Man suit was his bodyguard (and, for a while, it was James Rhodes in the suit, while Stark was battling alcoholism).
Wasn’t he still pretty well out as a major supplier of tech for the government (read: the Avengers), though? Given that his only real “superpower” is having enough IQ points for two or three normal people, that might kind of count. 
And at one point during the “Armor Wars” arc Stark publicly fired Iron Man.
Then the person who got the kidney gets killed by the few Wolvie white cells left in it. Doesn’t sound healthy.
Better go read Larry Niven’s “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex” :eek:
I can’t recall Wolverine having a real job in comicverse.
However, the X-men really fought/worked/defended universe/taught for free. Not only Prof.X funded his school, but his former student, Warren Worthington/Arcangel was of old money. So was the White Queen, Emma.
Other members had side gigs: Gambit-thief, Rogue-owned property inherited from Mystique, Banshee-NYC cop, etc.
