Heroes for Hire
Heroes for Hire is a fictional superhero team in the Marvel Comics universe. The team first appeared in Power Man and Iron Fist #54 (December 1978), and was created by Ed Hannigan and Lee Elias.
When Iron Fist teamed up with Power Man (known locally as the Hero for Hire), the two continued the business, and later expanded their ranks.
Originally, the superhero Luke Cage, in order to support himself, decided to become a "hero for hire", selling his services to those who could afford them. After Cage was exonerated of all charges, his friend Jeryn Hogarth celebrated with a party that was crashed by villains Stilleto and Discus.
