[WP] Ten years from now you'll put on a jacket and find a mask in the pocket. "Oh man, what a weird year that was," you'll chuckle to yourself. Then you'll pick up your machete and continue across the wasteland, keeping to the shadows to avoid the roving gangs of cannibal raiders.	8372
[WP] Aliens enslaved humans. You just discovered their greatest weakness and stole a time machine. Organic matter can't time travel, so you transfer your mind to a robotic pet cat and try to jump back to the start of the invasion, but an anomaly causes you to land in 1876 in the lab of Nikola Tesla.	96
[WP] Instead of waking up in the latest vacation model android on Mars, you wake up in an old android back on Earth with a message: If you don't follow our instructions, your real body will die.	80
[WP] All the oceans in the world turned black. In the first few years only ships were getting attacked, but one day a dense, pitch black fog started to rise and they started to attack on land. Sunlight kills them and they can't survive outside the fog for long, yet ever so slowly, the fog is rising.	73
[WP] da Vinci museum curator: "What could you teach Leonardo?" Girl: "Human anatomy." Man: "How to make a pocket watch." You: "Programming." Curator: "Great!

[WP] "Terran fleet has lost Mars" "Our last hope is to send the battle AI with all tactical data back to the start of the invasion in 2876" "But the time machine is just a prototype" "Do it, or the Earth is doomed" - bzzzeep - 1876: "... BOOTING SYSTEM... IDENTIFY YOURSELF..." "I am Nikola Tesla"	27
[WP] You wake up from cryo sleep in 2653 and become a medical wonder. Horrified by pollution you use fame to deliver a message, but you become a laughing stock. Now you are a crazy person who preaches about "recycling", "breathing the air outside" and "wild animals" and even "swimming in the oceans"	16
[WP] You don't have super strength or super speed, you can't fly and aren't invulnerable. Your only superpower lets you phase shift anything out of our physical plane and back. Superheroes and supervillains alike tend to underestimate your one "lame" superpower.	16
