[WP] No matter what you do, you get completely ignored; you even went so far as to rob a bank - which was surprisingly easy - and all that happened was the police made you give back the money. That's it. No arrest, not even a fine.

[WP] You are considered a boring superhero. Not because you have a lame power or are otherwise weak for a hero, but because you are so OVER-powered that you win fights almost instantly. Instead of cheers for stopping villains, you get a chorus of 'oh, thanks'.

[WP] You had a simple goal: be the most powerful superhuman around. Naturally, this led you to become a villain, but you were never evil - your goal achieved, you marched up to the heroes association and told them you'd like to train new heroes. They hesitated, but agreed.

[WP] Despite being the most powerful hero, and having saved millions of people, everyone despises you. Even villains think you're terrible as a hero. Why so much hate? Because every time you speak, you HAVE to make a pun - in the figure-of-speech sense, not literally.

[WP] The hero was captured by the villain last week. The villain now has no-one to stop his evil plans. The hero has come to terms with this, but there's one thing on his mind... "You have a request, hero?" The hero looks up. "My daughter's birthday is next week. I don't want to miss her party."

[WP] You wake up in a pure white room. There are no doors or windows. Every personal item of yours has been taken, literally all you have are your clothes. You spot a folded piece of paper. You pick it up, open it and read it.

[WP] You show up to a meeting with other villains. Some of them start snickering. Seeing this coming, you glare at them all, making sure you have their attention. "I'm a proud father of a beautiful girl. If she wants to decorate my hair, I'll let her."

[WP] The reaper allows everyone who dies one final meal before escorting the soul to their eternal afterlife. Someone who was destined for hell found a loophole... and requested their final meal to be a never-ending buffet. The reaper has been trying to move the person along for centuries now.
