#1 Flash’s Part-Time job would be Delivering Pizzas

Call any pizzeria during an NFL football game and they will always say the same thing, "45 minutes. And, by the way, would you like wings with that?" But if you call the Ray's Pizza on 13th St and 6th Avenue in New York City, they'll give you a different answer, "5 minutes. (And do would you like any wings with that?)" That's because the Flash works at Ray's part-time and always on Sundays. And by the way, because the Flash is delivering their pizzas, Ray's guarantees delivery in 5 minutes, no matter where on the planet you are calling from. Just remember, on Super Bowl Sundays they get extra busy so please allow an extra .02148 seconds.

#2 Captain America’s Part-Time Job Would be Serving at a Restaurant Using his Shield as a Serving Tray

With the economy still recovering from the recession, many businesses are low on capital funds and so haven't replaced necessary equipment. Captain America got his job by solving this problem. During his interview for a waiter's job at Mike Crab Shack in Bel Mar, N.J, Captain America volunteered to bring his own tray. Mike immediately offered him the job. It didn't hurt that because of his endurance abilities far in excess of normal humans, the Captain also promised Mike would never complain about working a double-shift.

#3 Mr. Fantastic’s Part-Time Job Would be Picking Apples at an Apple Farm

Reed Richards began college when he was fourteen and by the time he was twenty, he had degrees in Applied Conceptual Engineering, Molecular Biology of the Paleozoic Era, and Cardio-Respiratory Diagnostics for Dummies, just to name a few. (He also had a degree in Musical Theater, but that's a whole other story.) To achieve all that, he had to spend a lot of time indoors, in lecture halls, science labs, the library, study hall, etc. And so, when school was out during the summer, he always made sure to get a job that was fun, low pressure and, most importantly, outdoors. He has been picking apples and harvesting other fruit crops, in his free time, ever since. Not surprisingly, he also supports Immigration Reform for Undocumented Immigrants.

#4 Cyclops’ Part-Time Job Would be a Road Worker

Scott Summers, the man behind the Cyclops, was born in the 20th century, spent much of his childhood in the 19th century, and continues to fight for good, in the 21st century. But, what few people remember is that there was also a Cyclops back in the Greek mythology and that guy was Scott's Great x 487, Grandfather. Grandpa Cyclops had been a road builder back in his day, carrying gigantic lime stones from the quarries in the country to downtown Athens. He helped build the road leading to the Parthenon, and later, the Parthenon Mall and Outlet Stores parking lot. Scott, hearing about all this from his adopted father Charles Xavier, decided that to honor his forebear, he'd do similar work. To his great disappointment, there were no more gigantic lime stones to be carried, but his ability to cut open city street without using a jackhammer has endeared him to every city dweller who enjoys sleeping past 9 AM.

#5 Cat Woman’s Part-Time Job would be a Rat Catcher

To keep her svelte figure Catwoman is in the gym two hours every morning, takes Pilates every afternoon, and rarely eats processed sugar. (On the upside, she never has to wear make-up.) Part-time, she enjoys so working for the Gotham City Department of Rat Enforcement because down in a dark sewer, no one notices if she is looking sexy or not, and, due to the fragrant aroma in city sewers, no one even cares if she stops bathing regularly. And, of course, Catwoman is great at catching rats. She is able to decrease the population by 1,234,598 rats every hour. We have no records of exactly how many rats are in the sewers of Gotham, but if it's anything like New York, at that kill rate, Gotham will be completely vermin free well, never.

#6 Batman Wouldn’t Have a Part-Time Job

Much like as with the case of Tony Stark and Iron Man, Batman and his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, don't really need a part-time job and so they spend most of his time leafing through the Gotham Times Sunday Magazine and trying to make Alfred laugh. Batman's arch enemies, the Joker and the Riddler even came up with a nickname for their nemesis, one that the Caped Crusader detests. You guessed it, they call him, "The Slacker!"

#7 Superman’s Part-Time Job Would be Delivering Mail

Superman loves his job as a postal worker, but he does find there is one problem. He's able to deliver mail faster than anyone who has ever had his route, and he's able to unload packages from his truck with more ease than his co-workers, but because of his x-ray vision, he has a hard time keeping himself from reading other people's mail. Who is unable to pay their mortgage? Who is writing love notes to someone who's not her husband? Who is ordering male enhancement products? Superman knows all of this he's worse than the NSA.
