Practical comic book heroes?

Here's an essay raising the question of why good superheroes don't use their powers for their own good.

I don't sign on to every idea in the essay, but I'm curious about whether any good comic book characters make decent or better livings by using their superpowers. If not--and I can't think of any who do, but I'm no comics expert, then why not?
