I agree with what Jackalope said about YJ Outsiders. It would be my ideal set up. Let him be a full time hero. He doesn't have a personal life or anyone in his life that isn't also a superhero. So it doesn't really make sense to me to waste time trying to build up this thing that isn't an important part of the character. He doesn't seem to have any interest in having a personal life or being anything other than a hero, so let him just act as a hero as he sees fit. He can go on solo missions he views as important, or act as a liaison and coordinator between other heroes to organize bigger missions like in YJ Outsiders. It feels like there is endless potential there.
I'm not too concerned where he gets the money to fund his missions. I feel like he has the means to deal with it. The Spyral agent stuff gave him the framework to kind of do what we are talking about with their organization supporting him, but I feel like he can do the same things he did there just as Nightwing setting up his own missions and he would be completely happy. You can have him do normal jobs that are part of his mission, like when he was a dealer in a casino tracking Blockbuster, but all those normal jobs are just in service to whatever mission he is currently on.
