[WP] You're not an idiot. You've heard the stories. So when you decide to conquer the city, you take out all the supervillains first, even the most goofy and harmless, to stop them from teaming up with the heroes. Things go off without a hitch, until the mob of grieving henchmen shows up.

[WP] You've always been a pious person, living your life for others. After your death surrounded by loved ones and those you helped, the smell of brimstone wafts into your nose. You're understandably upset, and Satan rushes to comfort you. "After all," he says, "Nobody goes to heaven anymore."
