Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Heroes for Hire is a group of super heroes of Marvel Comics. It has been published in sporadic periods through the years. The main idea is that this Punch-Clock Hero group that perform hero type services sometimes outside of the normal heroes' areas of expertise. At times even the title itself is an Informed Attribute depending on the incarnation of the group and story arc, though money is always a factor.First there was just Luke Cage, the original hero for hire, then he teamed up with Iron Fist, whose own title had been cancelled. Luke's series was retitled "Power Man & Iron Fist: Heroes for Hire", and the two became synonymous with the title of being Heroes for Hire. Supporting characters Misty Knight, a detective and sometimes girlfriend of Iron Fist, her partner Colleen Wing, martial arts expert would at times team up with the main two but not become official members until the 2006 series where Misty Knight officially takes over the organization. Throughout the various runs various other characters would team up/work for the organization on different missions.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The group at first was restricted to the pages of Power Man and Iron Fist but would only get its first book under the name Heroes for Hire in the 1990s when the Fantastic Four and the Avengers were presumed dead after the Onslaught event, it featured a rotating cast of characters and lasted for 19 issues. A third run, without Cage or Fist, but starring Misty & Colleen, took place between Civil War and World War Hulk, it came out in 2006 and lasted 15 issues. A fourth run debuted in 2010, officially lasted 12 issues although it had a one-shot Spider-Island tie in and a spin off mini series titled Villains for Hire that closed off that run.Misty Knight made her live action debut in Luke Cage (2016), the third of five planned Netflix shows set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as played by Simone Missick. Likewise, Colleen Wing made her debut in Iron Fist (2017).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

All According to Plan | |
| Heroes for Hire (Comic Book) / int_167bd2ca | comment |
All According to Plan: The Earth's collective hive recruited Humbug to fight against the alien hive that come with Hulk. He goes along with it, but eventually he betrays everyone and join the alien hive. Does our hive have a back up plan for this? No, it's better. They were counting on Humbug to betray them, and be selected as the host of the alien eggs. They poisoned him, and so both Humbug and the alien eggs would die. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong | |
| Heroes for Hire (Comic Book) / int_19df659c | comment |
Gone Horribly Wrong: Bushmaster kick-started the first Power Man and Iron Fist team-up because he wanted Dr. Bernstein to make him like Luke Cage. That ended with him apparently dying, but he pops up in Heroes having survived... sort of. The experiment is now turning his body to steel, and he'd very much like this cured before it kills him. | |

Theory Tunnelvision: Misty lost her arm to a bomb as a beat cop, and this has left her with severe trauma. When she sees a formerly convicted terrorist running around, just as a bomb goes off in a fancy restaurant, she immediately decides he's the guilty party and refuses to listen to anyone else's opinions on the matter. | |

| Heroes for Hire (Comic Book) / int_25a6c734 | comment |
Not in This for Your Revolution Paladin doesn't care about anything, as long as he gets paid. Bill Foster died in the Civil War? The dinosaur is sad for being set apart from the ape? Who cares? Paladin only looks out for Nº one: himself. The hive queen follows Hulk and Miek in their vendetta, but she's not interested in it. She's more interested in creating a new hive on planet Earth. | |

| Heroes for Hire (Comic Book) / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Princess Avi, a gal Danny Rand saved during the first run of Iron Fist, turns up in Duffy's run and turns out to be the sort of melodramatic despot Doctor Doom would tell to take it down a notch. Her previous behavior is handwaved as having pulled the wool over Danny's eyes (and in fairness, Danny was pretty naive at the time). | |

Downer Ending: The original series ended with Danny being accidentally beaten to death by a teenager and Luke being blamed for it, having to go on the run. A few years down the line, it turned out Danny was mostly fine, and Luke's name was cleared (it was a plot by Master Khan to get at Danny. The teenager was actually a brainwashed Super-Skrull). | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Invoked. The owner of some jewelry hired the heroes because criminals stole his diamonds, and he wanted them back. They investigated, and discovered that the Grim Reaper and the Man-Ape were doing this to finance a terrorist campaign, and sought to blow up a bomb at the Statue of Liberty. In a frantic battle, the Heroes for Hire foiled their plan, got rid of the bomb, stopped the ship and saved the symbol of liberty in the free world! "Wow. What a story. And my diamonds?" A few lame excuses later, the man closed his portfolio with the money that he was going to pay, and walked away. | |

The women are Misty Knight, a cyborg who uses guns; Colleen Wing, a Master Swordswoman; the Black Cat, who uses a Grappling-Hook Pistol and claw-tipped gloves; and Tarantula, who uses bladed gloves and boots. On the men's side, we have Shang Chi whose martial arts skills allow him to defeat superhuman enemies; Humbug, who can control insects; the superstrong Atlantean Orka; and Paladin, who is the only one of the guys who uses weapons. | |

He took a random weapon, realized that it turns things into gold, and wondered what kind of fool could have had a ray to turn things into gold and use it for Bank Robberies. And then it hits him: "TURNS... THINGS... INTO... GOLD??? So Long, Suckers!, Screw This mission, I'm SO outta here! Subverted in that he doesn't know the transmutation is only temporary, and transformed items will crumble into dust after. | |

Late of the Time Variance Agency, his mode of conveyance is a disappearing shop which helpfully changes to suit the time period. Clearly based on the Doctor, with probable special emphasis on the Fifth Doctor (the incumbent at the time of Gamble's first appearance, circa 1982). | |

Genius Bruiser: Luke, though not at standard comic book genius levels, is plenty smart and a quick learner. Tarantula, who unexpectedly shows a level of intelligence similar to Reed Richards. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Heroes for Hire (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Several panels in the fourth series depict Misty Knight's lips near the microphone that she's using to contact the current hero, evoking similar imagery from the film The Warriors when the radio host is informing other gangs of the protagonists' whereabouts. | |

Corporate-Sponsored Superhero | |
| Heroes for Hire (Comic Book) / int_d06ff4fc | comment |
Corporate-Sponsored Superhero: The 1990s team was originally funded by Oracle Inc., a company funded by Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner. When Namor decided to sell Oracle to Stark-Fujikawa (the rebranded Stark Enterprises after Tony was killed and the company was bought following The Crossing), they would have kept going... until they decided to kick out Scott Lang and Luke Cage because of their criminal records. The group decided to disband instead. | |

Rotating Protagonist: This is the hook for the fourth volume: Misty Knight uses her contacts to "maximize the potential of [her] address book", calling in favors from different heroes in every issue. The only constant besides Knight herself is Paladin. | |

Punch-Clock Hero | |
| Heroes for Hire (Comic Book) / int_e0c3f8bf | comment |
Punch-Clock Hero: Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Cage is so dedicated to his job that he once shook down Dr. Doom himself for just $200 owed to him. That said, if Luke and Danny feel the job is not worth it (like, for example, a vigilante going after an asshole slumlord) they'll only do what the contract requires. Throughout the various other incarnations of the team, the dynamic has shifted a little now and then - to the point that in the fourth version, "for hire" means "available to do a favor for Misty Knight". | |
