[WP] You're a supervillian. Your power? Making anybody and everybody nearby feel the same emotion you feel except 100x stronger. Mostly you've been using it to force people to donate absolutely all their life's savings into charities. Superheros aren't quite sure how to deal with you.

[WP] "In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king." Untrue, as it turns out. When a mysterious energy wave swept the world and took away vision for humans, you were the only one left with an eye, the wealthy and powerful are hunting you down for your working eyeball.

[WP] The Necromancer escaped his pursuers by slipping into our world through an interplanar door. He stepped through and appeared into the closed Natural History Museum. As the Witchhunters clambor after him, he begins to laugh. He's in the dinosaur section.

[WP] You grew up in a small town. You've never exactly been lonely, but you've had few friends. One day, you google your town and are startled to read that it's the most haunted place in the world and no one lives there. You try to laugh it off but then your neighbors begin to rattle their bones.

[WP] You were sure you were a werewolf, just like the rest of your family. After all, once a month you black out and wake up in a locked room. But this time, you wake up chained and surrounded by your family. They are covered in scratches and slime. They watch you with terror.

[WP] Angels don't like you. Demons hate you. You're a smuggler of souls and you transport the desperate dead from hell to heaven discretely. For a price. But this latest cargo is problematic. Both sides are trying their damned best to stop you from delivering.

[WP] A human is the deadliest species in the galaxy. It has redundant organs and can lose all of its limbs and not die. Human skin is tough, can absorb forms of kinetic attack, and rated to withstand both cold and heat extremes. Their bites are deadly. They irradiate and poison themselves for fun.

[WP] You've been losing the war. Despite the awesome power of the Titan mechs you've been building, each deadlier and more sophisticated than the last, humanity is losing. As Head Researcher, you are FURIOUS to find out the government has been using barely trained teens to pilot your creations.

[WP] "I saw it during WW1. It had no meat, no bones, just veins and nerves. And there it was, striding toward us, bullets sliding off it like water. Men came apart or became things just being nearby. We know now it's a war god from another world. And it was drawn by our war like a fly to a wound. "

You... are not the Hero. You make sure the Hero gets his lazy ass out of bed in every morning,hangover or not.
