[WP] Your power is to be a friend to all creatures. At first they laughed at your mice and squirrels. Then you were respected when you acquired a few bears and wolves. Today you have acquired a Kaiju monster and now they are terrified.	1529
[WP] When humans make contact with the wider galactic community, it is discovered we were the only species to use rockets for space travel. Most other species use much safer antigravity tech. So they are appalled to learn that we basically propel ourselves into space with explosions.	314
[WP] Apparently some time in the future they invent something called mental time travel. You know this because your 10 year old kid is suddenly talking like an adult, insisting you bury random items that will be valuable in 40 years, and giving you a list of things to avoid doing.	309
[WP] Your first date has gone pretty well, and you stop by your dates house to use the restroom before going home. It’s there that you stumble upon a shrine dedicated to you, with pictures of you going back to middle school.	309
[WP] "...If all else fails, claim you're a time traveler and that you're trying to stop a disaster or something. It's not exactly a sure bet, but there's enough people out there who will let you do anything if they think it's to save the future. Hell, if you're convincing enough they'll help you."	231
[WP] “Oh son, I WISH we were werewolves. It would be way less of a hassle. No, we are were-hippos. And like normal hippos we are surprisingly dangerous and hard to control.”	162
[WP] You are an elite assassin, able to take down about any target. So it is very baffling when you are hired to take out a complete nobody for triple your usual rate. Your client only explains that they’re not sure what the target is, but that they are only pretending to be human.	112
[WP] After encountering one another, you each realize that both of you have independently been named the chosen one to save the land. The first thing both of you do upon realizing this is trying to pawn off the sole responsibility for the job on each other.	109
[WP] “I’m very sorry for insulting you, and I was completely out of line saying those things. Now can you please turn the sun back on? A lot of people kind of count on it….”	81
[WP] A little known fact is that a lot of the people who become supervillains do it to dodge taxes. The IRS avoids meta-crime cases as they are too much trouble to audit, and almost no superheroes investigate financial crime. This is partly why so many novelty/gimmick villains exist.	75
