I thought this had been done, but that was Clown, which you didn't mention... so this is a pointless post. :rolleyes:

41) Private Investigator. You need to find something, he's your guy. Good at getting guys to talk. Not too bad with the ladies, either. wink [/b]
Ha! You read my mind!

Just so you don't think I'm ripping off your idea, I should mention that the Supergirl crossover story I'm currently writing has included something very similar since the first draft - since she can't really deny that her face is similar to Supergirl, she wears tinted contact lenses in her secret identity but otherwise flaunts the resemblance to make it look like she has nothing to hide:

Quote
“She’s cute, very cute. Reminds me of someone, can’t quite think who.”

“Supergirl; Same height if she wears the right boots, same hair colour though she styles it differently, same build, eye colour’s different but otherwise my facial recognition software gives her a near-perfect match. Last month she was runner-up in the Miss Supergirl contest at Malibu Beach. She won the look-alike and personality sections, but came third in weight-lifting.”

“Right; I can see it now you say it.”

42) Driver of an ice cream truck. He'd get to interact with kids, and even if the cooler died, he could make sure his ice cream didn't melt.

43 - Batman's stunt double, for those awkward moments when a Bat-Line doesn't cut it.

44) Antique dealer. With his eyesight, he'd be able to spot a forgery a mile away. (Literally.)

45) Art appraiser. Ditto.

Joy,
Lynn

I changed my numbering, since Marcus' 42 would become 43, so my old 43 and 44 should be, as they are now, 44 and 45.

46) A gymnast known as "The Flying Kent" for his apparent defiance of the laws of gravity. (Come to think of it, Flying Kent could also be his trapeze artist name, probaly even better suited)

47) A pianist (who can play four hand pieces with only two hands)

48) A one-man band

Edited to correct the numbers.

54) A police sketch artist - he draws with perfection and has a super visual memory

55) A doctor (surgeon)

56) A pilot - if everything fails he can hold the plane laugh

57) TV news anchor - The Superman from 2999 (Klar Ken 5477) worked broadcasting news for Ultra News.
[Linked Image]

58) A bomb squad member - if he can't disarm a bomb, he eats it. No harm done. :p

59) Lifeguard - who wouldn't want to be rescued by him? drool

60) Bodyguard - Lois could be a millionaire widow and hire him to protect her...

61) Santa Claus - he likes children and can distribute gifts faster than anyone. laugh

I think I messed up the numbers, and we're actually about 4 jobs ahead of the count. Sorry, guys.

Actually we're missing #49-#53... Here, I'll help with a few of those:

#49 - Male nurse - helps with sponge baths, great bedside manner, and able to help lifting patients (with one finger).

I don't know if someone already mentioned this one:

#50 - Works with rehabilitation of burn victims - that cooling breath would do wonders.

#51 - Garbage Incinerator

#52 - Miner. Can drill without machinery and doesn't need extra light to see in the dark.

#53 - Test Pilot - If the plane blows up on him, he'll still survive.
#53a - Test Crash Dummy

In exchange, we have #35 to #39 twice... As I said, I messed up. (And managed to count wrong, too.)

63) Mount - giving free rides to orphans and the like.

64) Scientist. I mean, come on, that guy can talk shop with Dr. Klein!
64a) Material researcher - try and copy the material your space ship (or the globe, for that matter) is made from
64b) Rocket engineer would work, too. Just copy your parents' work.

65) Street artist, doing sketches of passers-by. Super and fast.

66) Paper delivery boy - for all of New Troy. He'd be done in no time, really.
So, next up should be #67!

40d) Lion tamer. If a lion tried to bite or claw him, the feline would have a tooth or paw ache. No lion with a whit of sense would try that twice.

67) Alligator wrestler. See 40d.

Nope. I already booked him. But it shouldn't take him long, after all, he's faster than a speeding bullet. wink
