See, this is the problem with Mark's short-term thinking. Some nerd would have paid him big bucks for those in 20 or 30 years.

They would have been valuable until>! Eve starts making bootlegs...!<

...at that point, nobody has money for comic book collectibles. Art retired, Eve took over his shop, and she makes the most amazing boot legs! I mean, you need the rest of the boot, but she'll sell those too for a little more.

Hell, not even that long. He's a superhero, there are probably nerds out there who would mortgage their house to own a real superhero's action figures.

My dad once told me one of his biggest regrets was when his mom called him when he was living out of state and asked where she should store his old comic books and he said "meh, just toss em."

10 years of comic books gone.

Yeah but when you already have all the power in the world (comparatively to everyone else) and have the ability to just take what you want (but don't want to do that), I'd be willing to bet that all things we value in our comparatively short lives would completely lose meaning to someone who just found out they're capable of living entire millenia. Sounds super depressing tbh because, like Omni-Man, eventually as time passed you'd probably start to see creatures with shorter lifespans the way you see pets or even collectable figures.
