Reportedly, the risk of injury or death by super villains is so high that the spouses and girlfriends/boyfriends of super heroes can no longer get insurance at affordable rates, if at all. Unnamed sources report that several super heroes are considering exiting the superhero business to take traditional office jobs, rather than disclose their identities and incur the increased risk to their spouses. If these rumors are true, many city police chiefs privately fear a rise in crime, which in turn could raise insurance rates -- and death rates -- for all citizens and business owners. Representative Ryun (Rep - Topeka, KS) plans to introduce a bill with special investment account rates for super heroes. "We view super heroes as private contractors worthy of support like any small business," said Ryun. "They should be able to invest in both retirement accounts and in health/life insurance plans."
