That's the story I'd much rather see, but writers are too cowardly to tell it. The comics never show the hard life that poor people who have medical bills to pay (their own or their loved ones') have to go through, the struggle to never cross the line from being poor to being poor and homeless, the vast difference between a guy with enough money to revolutionize Earth's technology and the poor people who have the never ending day-to-day struggles that only briefly gets worse when a supervillain shows up but then only improves up to 'bad' again.
But then they'd call the writer an SJW and accuse the comics of being cultural communism or whatever other buzzwords they're floating around at the time.
