Artist Chow Hon Lam has recently added to his project depicting part-time superhero jobs they take in order to pay their bills.
Lam comically uses each of these iconic comic book hero's special gifts to make money when they’re not busy saving the world. The Hulk is working in demolition, the Invisible Woman is a magician’s assistant, Cyclops works construction, Storm works on a farm, Iceman makes ice cubes, Catwoman is a mouse exterminator and Deadpool also works as a magician’s assistant. Unfortunately it seems like Aquaman is getting the worst of it cleaning aquarium tanks.
Even though Chow Hon Lam doesn’t draw any expressions on their face, we can intuit that they are miserable doing their part-time superhero jobs. Except for the Hulk, he seems to be ecstatic.
