What do they export? Do you have to pay rent to build structures in the sea? How do they make money from the outside world? DO they?

These are all real questions.

well they've gone to war against Japan so they got money. they also opened their gates to tourism. and they are highly advanced scientifically speaking i'm sure they canmake money from that. and all that fishing rights and such.

 

[Vastag]

Mr. Fantastic should also be pretty rich, right? I mean I feel like he doesn't really flaunt it too much because he's always pouring like 90 percent of it back into his experiments, but he supposedly owns a bunch of patents that make it so he never has to worry about money, right?

Yes, Reed Richards has only comercialized some of his minor discoveries and that's enough to fund all F4 shenanigans.

"The supervillain get kicked out your country
And said the Pledge of Allegiance six times monthly
He ain't hardly go to school
Been known to rock a party and do karate on a ghoul"

 

[TetraxShards]

I would've thought Reed Richards would be up there for some reason.

You'd think so, but Reed Richards is Useless.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Dat Top 0.001%

 

[Cow Mengde]

And toilets!


*shudders*

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the TMNT don't need toilets.

 

[Fevaweva]

You'd think so, but Reed Richards is Useless.

Makes sense I guess. I'd like to see an alternate world where Reed Richard's inventions are given out to society and stuff.

Not going to happen, in every other alternative world Reed is evil.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Lex Luthor is the most impressive one on the list. His company and wealth is self made and he's still among the top five. Scary to think where he'd be if he had Black Panther's resources.

 

[Ultima_5]

On that note, wouldn't Peter have a Phd now?

yup & a corporation that got started up in his absence

If it weren't for Superman distracting him Luthor would have cured cancer by now. Fucking Superman.

 

[Hyunkel6]

Lol at Magneto. "Can control metal, so can always get money".

 

[Kinyou]

If it weren't for Superman distracting him Luthor would have cured cancer by now. Fucking Superman.

That actually makes me wonder how much trouble those comic universes have with world hunger, illnesses etc. I'd imagine with so many geniuses around they would have solved that a long time ago

Well when the Phoenix Five set out to cure World Hunger and famine, The Avengers got jealous of the attention and put an end to it.

 

[HarryKS]

I wish I had some of Harry's wealth.

 

[Delio]

Who inherits Xavier's assets?

I did wonder this. I assumed Logan and Scott will end up dividing it?

 

[DedValve]

Who inherits Xavier's assets?

Halle Berry.

Unless Cyclops manned up.

 

[OmniGamer]

Jean Grey is pretty well off too...She showed Cable her secret cave stash of riches and treasures

 

[Parallax]

Who inherits Xavier's assets?

probably legion

 

[Dalek]

Scott killed him! Surely he didn't benefit.

 

[Slayven]

probably legion

I thought Legion was his own father?

 

[Parallax]

I thought Legion was his own father?

he currently doesnt exist, but charles brought him into the world

 

[B-Dubs]

Not going to happen, in every other alternative world Reed is evil.

Which is really rather telling. Sue is saving the world on a daily basis just by being married to the guy, she's the true hero in the F4.

 

[Slayven]

What is non existing to an Omega class mutant? Isn't Vulcan back?

Folks will tell you Sue is the heart of the FF and don't fuck with her.

 

[Trojita]

Vibranium stronger than Adamantium? I can't even take this list seriously.

 

[Asbel]

Or how tech from alien civilizations who've colonized multiple solar systems can't match tech from humans still stuck on one planet.

 

[MisterHero]

People claim that "real estate fiend" is a terrible characterization of Lex Luthor but it seems wealth is largely defined by real estate.

Anyways Aquaman is the richest.

 

[Kinyou]

Well when the Phoenix Five set out to cure World Hunger and famine, The Avengers got jealous of the attention and put an end to it.

Typical, those anti mutant racists

 

[Wallach]

Dr. Doom doing it right. You only need so much money. Then you build a time machine.

 

[akira28]

I guess being the company which is responsible for every Spider-man villain and tech advancement doesn't mean much in the larger scheme of things! Welp.

Spider-man villain

this is the problem. A man with 8 metal arms, a lizard man, a man in a rhino suit, a walking oil slick with teeth? These are not billion dollar industry characters. I mean, even a living laser or some kind of iron monger would be an improvement.

Look at Superman's main Villain. Lex Luthor is basically a Goldwater era Tony Stark.

 

[BLACKLAC]

Seems strange that the US Government doesn't swoop in and provide a good dose of freedom to those Wakanadians

Well there was that BET show.....

 

[kswiston]

Not going to happen, in every other alternative world Reed is evil.

There were some non-evil ones in Exiles, Earth X and stuff.

Marvel geniuses in general tend to have have a ton of evil alternate universe doppelgangers.

 

[Rhaknar]

Jean Grey is pretty well off too...She showed Cable her secret cave stash of riches and treasures

Eww dude, she's his

Spoiler

mom

 

[Parch]

Aside that Atlantis must have some kind of internal economy to support it's citizens and that currency will have an exchange rate due to it being a recognized country/state. Aquaman being king likely means he has an abundance of that currency

Don't know about Aquaman, but Namor has a bunch of gold from salvaged shipwrecks.

 

[Parallax]

What is non existing to an Omega class mutant? Isn't Vulcan back?

He removed himself from existence. Apparently only blindfold remembers him.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

That Magneto one is my fave.

"Has a huge amount of stolen Nazi gold"

"Can control metal so he can always get money"

Comics are so dumb.

True, but that list doesn't help. They spelled Wakanda as 'Wakanada'. Someone tell them it isn't pronounced like Canada - no extra 'a'.

However, I thought Black Panther is a good guy. So why would America need to "free" Wakanda?

 

[happypup]

No mention of Danny Rand aka Iron Fist. I don't know if he still has the money but he was worth over 10 billion at one point.

 

[Slayven]

He was depressed as all hell in Earth X.

 

[inky]

Hey Bruce, maybe money you invest on fancy gadgets and construction in dark cave systems would go better towards some social programs for your shithole of a city.

Just saying.

I've always wondered who the hell built the bat cave. There's no way in hell Bruce and Alfred lugged all that steel and electrical wiring in there and set it all up. And how did they get the Giant Penny in without anyone noticing?

 

[kswiston]

He was depressed as all hell in Earth X.

Well his wife and brother-in-law were dead, and his son had to take over for Galactus. Would probably get anyone down.


As for the topic, I don't think money really matters in comic books, when super geniuses basically have unlimited resources. Tony built a partial Dyson sphere, which would cost actual earth tens (if not hundreds) of trillions to attempt. Reed, Doom, Pym, and others build magic level tech in an afternoon that can do anything. Why do they need cash?

Hell, why isn't someone like Firestorm the richest superhero? Can't he basically transmute any element?

 

[……forgetit]

Well, it's true. You can't get poorer than the TMNT. None of them can hold a job, and they scavenge and live in the sewers.

It just made me think of the Nigga Turtles series.

 

[Jigorath]

You definitely can. And he doesn't really "own" it. Aquaman is useless as usual.

He's not useless. You've been brainwashed by hack Family Guy writers.

But seriously I want to see the poorest superheroes.

 

[ericexpo]

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Probably because they would get their shit pushed in.

 

[RealDeadOne]

I don't believe Wayne is worth more than Luthor, he owns Lexcorp which is like Microsoft + Apple + HP in the DCU, plus he owns tons and tons of other companies.

That actually makes me wonder how much trouble those comic universes have with world hunger, illnesses etc. I'd imagine with so many geniuses around they would have solved that a long time ago

In Morrison's JLA some cosmic superbeings come to Earth and "solve" world hunger by making the Sahara into a giant fertile farmland. This totally fucked up the climate though.

One recurring theme in Superman stories is that you can't just hand the human race solutions on a silver platter, society and technology has to progress steadily and naturally.

 

[jakefromstatefarm]

However, I thought Black Panther is a good guy. So why would America need to "free" Wakanda?

America's self-interest is the good guy.

 

[Slayven]

America's self-interest is the good guy.

They did send Cap in World War 2, But T'challa's dad slapped some sense into him

 

[YesNOnoNOYes]

wow, very money

much rich men.

amaze.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Falcon is so damn wack, fuck Marvel.
