[WP] “Please.” The Villian whimpers. “There must be something I can do.” You stare at your clipboard. “Lose the spikes and turn off the volcano and we can talk.” Being an OSHA auditor for superpowers is a whole new type of power trip.

[WP] Deep within the Dark King’s vaults you find it. The Chronicle. A complete transcript of the last five years of war carefully edited to make you and the other heroes appear as immoral monsters. It’s portrayal of you is... surprisingly accurate.

[WP] The alien invaders burned down your home, killed your cameraman, and destroyed your easel. Some would call that a mistake. You are about to show Earth’s uninvited guests that there are no mistakes, only happy little accidents.
