Being a Superhero is not a profession; rather, it is a calling. Battling with enemies that only the limitless stretches of imagination can even conceive of, is no easy task, and finding the time to recuperate is even less unlikely, when one has to still adhere to a normal, day to day, earthly, lifestyle. Paying the daily bills, and managing to keep up appearances to distract from one's moonlighting escapades, is all about maintaining a balanced career. We checked out which Superhero has the coolest, everyday career!

Armed with a hammer and a merciless tempter it’s hard to imagine how the Norse God of Thunder could be anything else but heroic and battle ridden. Harder still, is to imagine that this giant of a hero is actually a doctor when he isn’t battling villains and defending the innocent.

It’s a great way to pay the bills and an awesome way to add balance to one’s life given that one’s alter ego is matched with a battle hammer named Mjolnir.
