Superheroes in Library Instruction

Had a conversation with my husband about Superheroes and jobs after doing the Jersey Shore session.  Surely everyone knows Superheroes.  I've found that most superheroes don't have actual jobs.  Most of them seem to scientists or have no job whatsoever.  Here's what I've found so far:

Spiderman - photographer
Superman - reporter
The Hulk - physicist
Batman - industrialist/businessman
Daredevil - lawyer
Iron Man - billionaire industrialist
Green Arrow - businessman
Flash - police scientist
Wonder Woman - army nurse
Green Lantern - graphic artist (although this seems to depend on the which version of the GL)
Captain American - soldier
Wolverine - soldier prior to becoming Wolverine
Spawn - soldier/assassin

These superheroes need better jobs.  Well more interesting & defined jobs I guess.  I'm thinking this could be fun with a Social Problems class.  How would they attack the problem?  I need to think more about this one.  How would you do it?
