As y'all (damn. I must stop watching

So, this is how much you need to be able to afford – starting package, recharges/refills for expendables not included – if you want to be a superhero. I know I wouldn't mind using so much money for good purpose. Sigh. It seems to me that it'd be more realistic to wish for superpowers, after all.
