I would consider the superhero thing a use of one's native talents. Similar to use of native talents in a job.
However, I also think there has to be terms of agreement in order to charge a fee.
Tax funding makes the most sense - that appears to be what happens in The Incredibles.
Darkwing Duck kinda-sorta worked for SHUSH (which is equivalent to the FBI), but I don't know that his hours would have paid the bills. My guess is that he had an inheritance enough for day-to-day living and needed the gig with SHUSH to pay the mortgage after he adopted Gosalyn.
