Where does Chicago get all that meat? Not every Super Hero has a headquarters; some of them don't seem to even have an apartment. But for those who do, there is a compulsion to ask, "Where did all this stuff come from?" Where are the architects, the carpenters, the masons, the cablers, the plumbers, the electricians, the welders, the tailors? And how much did it cost to hire them all? It's especially likely to be asked if the character in question doesn't have magical powers or super abilities that would enable them to believably carve out the insides of a mountain for a secret hideout with their own bare hands and a spare weekend. Sometimes, this question is just left up in the air, with the writers hoping it'll stay as Fridge Logic. Other times, they take it head-on, providing an in-character source — often, an Acme Products company or a single person who makes it their business to outfit heroes and/or villains. Ideally, use the Applied Phlebotinum on screen for verisimilitude. See also Infinite Supplies, Off Screen Villain Dark Matter, Homemade Inventions, Crimefighting with Cash.
