#conglomerate

Meat Man but they have strange Freudian implications.

I think there's a slight misnomer in the verbiage you used. Or at least a term you used is referring to something that doesn't match your examples.

The Conglomerate, The Power Company and Booster Gold aren't "for profit" superheroes. They were superheroes who have had or still have corporate sponsorships. They didn't accept money for their work at the point of contact they're superheroes who happened to be paid from a sponsorship fund and did generally agreeable superhero work while collecting a paycheck.

The Hero Hotline and its digital successor Heroz4U DO charge a cost but as we roll past our visual component for the day I want you to look up what that charge is in your area.

(The first advertising poster showing the original lineup of the Power Company)

Did you look it up? Here in NEW YORK CITY of all places, the charge for a Hero Hotline job is a toll free call, a free consultation and then should an actual superhero need to show up and do something their charge is 25 bucks an hour. You pay nothing to call them, you pay nothing if the problem doesn't actually require a superhero. If someone DOES need to come save your life and limb.

25. Bucks. An Hour. That is less than **I** make and I work in a public museum! You're only paying them 100 bucks if whatever you called them about takes more than four hours to resolve! You can't get a plumber for HALF that much in any city in America and in more rural spots their rates are even LOWER.

The existence of paid superheroes comes down to one, undeniable fact: For all our high minded ideals of a better world, in THIS world, people need to pay rent.

It would take an INCREDIBLY specific and CONSTANTLY managed lifestyle to be able to do superhero work while either maintaining a full time profession or not working at all. There are some professions where you can come and go as you please but not many and if you have any other responsibilities on your plate it basically becomes an impossible juggling act. What if you have kids? What if you're taking care of your elderly parent? What if you're still trying to get your degree?

Hero Hotline/Heroz4U have my undying respect because they give people with superhuman skills and abilities a way to help their communities with the gifts they've been given and WITHOUT having to make the impossible choice between using those gifts and having health insurance. Their service is the only reason that small to mid sized towns outside of the major superhero metropolitan areas have a worthwhile superhero response to a crisis at ALL. As far as I'm concerned crowing about them being paid is the same as complaining about firefighters being paid. If there weren't so many terrible externalities in the idea, I'd support the Hero Hotline being a public service.

Gravel Set

This has been expanded since I created this poster to showcase this, but it's always bugged me how gravel kind of stops being useful after you light a nether portal. Maybe you use some extra flint to make some arrows but that can honestly be a chore of its own. The most any mod that extends the block palette does with gravel is a flint compression block, and I'm sorry, are rocks boring to you? Because they're not to me!

Has anyone noticed that the sign in Dimmsdale Mall said “Dimmadome’s”? So does Doug Dimmadome owns both Dimmsdale Mall and the Dimmsdale Acres Mall?

Dimmsdale Acres Mall is what Doug built after he demolished Dimmsdale Flats, but it was never shown in the show.

Dimmsdale is apparently named after his implied ancestor Dale Dimm, Dimmadelphia is named after his ancestor Dimmalonius, he owns the the Dimmadome, Dimmsdale Mall, Dimmsdale Acres Mall, Dimmadome's Farm (Implied Dairy Farm in Moooving Day), Chickin Dippindome, Doug Dimmadome 80 Gallon Hat Storage, and Formerly owned Dimmadome Acres. That was a total of 8 different businesses, which is now 7. He has a lot of power.

There was also this screenshot in Odd Odd West. I interpret that he thinks the whole world is up for sell and he is trying to build a global corporate empire and Dale is following in his footsteps and is implied to heavily worship his father. l think it is still possible that Doug Dimmadome can still appear in A New Wish as an antagonist whether he is dead or not as this is a mythical setting not a mundane one.

His son Dale Dimmadome owns Dimmadome Global, Dimmadome Globaldome, Dimmazon, Dimm-N-Out Burger, the Domezone Indoor Amusement Park, and an Unknown Smartphone Company. There are a total of 13 known businesses owned by the Dimmadomes. These type of companies are called conglomerates.
