[WP] Earth joined the galactic community and no-one even batted an eye. Death worlds were well known and quite a few of them contained life. It was only later that they learned that Earth was not always such a hostile world and that cockroaches were not the first technological species of Earth.

[WP] You have super-speed and exactly just that. No super-reflexes or slowed perception, just incredibly high speeds that are incredibly difficult to control. Most think that this would make life pretty difficult, but you have done quite well for yourself in the hero business.

[WP] Being able to perceive magic is already a rare trait, working magic is even rarer. You have seen weird things for all your life, but when your sibling recently discovered they can work magic things started to make sense. You are excited to also learn magic, but sadly you can only see magic.

You are called to the scene of a mysterious death and after a long investigation you conclude that is was just a tragic accident, but no one believes you. Now the public comes up with their own theories, among them that *you* are secretly the murderer.

[WP] The hero sees a clear spark of goodness in the villain, while the villain notices some very exploitable character flaws in the hero. Both do their best to subtly push the other over the edge and in their most recent fight both of their efforts finally bore fruit.
