[WP] As a villain henchman, the number 1 rule you're always taught is to never outshine the boss. However, during a small bank heist, you accidentally kill your boss' arch nemesis, and the legion of superheroes now see YOU as their ultimate threat.	3496	AccidentOnion
[WP] You are a leader of a human colony that long lost contact with Earth, when at one day they show up and greet you as the first Alien race they met. You realize that years of genetic alterations and environmental effects made your people quite different from "standard" humans...	3493	trebron55

[WP] You've never once denied it. You're a supervillain, and you've done plenty of bad things. But you're getting pretty sick of being blamed for the mayor's own misdeeds. You figure it's time to expose him for the monster he is.	3485	i_want_my_burd
[WP] The demons stood bewildered at the machine that had summoned them. "This unit does not have a soul to exchange. Requesting assistance in acquiring one for research purposes."	3484	DragonEyeNinja
[WP] Everyone is fearful but respectful of that quiet badass chosen one with unheard of talent, eventually defeating the dark lord. The hero doesn't want to be a loner, however. He just doesn't know how to speak Japanese.	3484	Prismquill
