Ah yes, but Supes also works as a Reporter, does he not?
I think in the case of CoH here, there is a general understanding between the Cities' heroes and its people. A "Gentleman's Agreement" if you
will. A given hero has probably rescued more than enough civvies to fill a phone book, and since many heroes in the city do not work their own jobs (as far as
is my understanding) the Civvies help the heroes in the ways that they can. They take it upon themselves to give merchandise/bought items to the Heroes that
need it. And thus you have the Influence/item trade off.
