We Can't Rewind, We've Gone Too Far

So basically all of the dystopic takes on superheroes I've seen have the supers, or at least most of them, employed by either the government or a single shadowy organization and acting as law enforcement.

But why? Clearly their skills are more useful in the private sector.

Superhero teams are mercenaries organized by major corporations. Their celebrity status raises the companies' public image, they can attack other companies to distract them/discredit them/steal trade secrets, and of course then everyone needs their own team to fight off rivals.

This is all very inconvenient for the general public but of course the superheroes also do photo-ops cleaning up litter and volunteering at animal shelters. So that's fine.

Also there are reality TV shows, media interviews with the heroes, corporate award ceremonies, etc., etc.

And every so often a superhero team will deal with an actual threat to a nearby area, like cleaning up after a natural disaster, or stopping some terrorist whose exact plans and location the team just happened to find out about just in the nick of time. (The city is billed later.)

If a non-combatant sustains injuries during a superhero battle of course the company responsible will pay compensation! As long as you can prove that it was definitely one of their superheroes, that you could not possibly have known there would be a fight at that place and time, and that you were taking reasonable precautions to avoid it.

Each team's media releases claim that most/all of the other teams are full of supervillains. Alliances are constantly shifting.

Guess who just got followed by two pornbots on a social media platform with no adult content?
