[WP] Superpowers can be purchased. You're trying to get a refund.	21
[WP] You've gained the superpower of The Gamer, where your life is like an RPG. But it seems to be a pretty basic RPG. The only way to gain EXP is to kill monsters, and you live in a modern city.	20

[WP] It's been well documented that radioactive waste, cosmic ray exposure, mutant spider bites, getting struck by lightning, experimental drugs, and relentless training routines can all give people superpowers. You're just dying a slow, agonizing death and doctors can't figure out why.	19
[WP] "You call it a mere game, but for thousands of years, it was a sacred ritual invoking the power of the gods to alter the course of humanity. Sit down, child, and let me tell you the long forgotten lore behind Rock Paper Scissors."	18
[WP] You like your khakis beige. You enjoy your toast lightly browned, with butter. Your car is greyish-silver Toyota. You work at a desk from 9-5. Your favorite music is whatever's on the radio, and you watch what Netflix recommends. You are... the least interesting man in the world.	18
[WP] You are the inverse Cassandra. Everything you say, people believe has extreme world-moving importance. Every casual sigh or grunt or ummm or ahhh is treated like divine prophecy.	18
[WP] You decide to send a romantic message written on little candies. Being the dumbass that you are, you didn't realize they would pull the candies out in a random order.	17
[WP] "As detailed in section 203.88B of the Lair Architect Union's Agreement, a minimum of one deadly yet passable series of traps is required into any critical location. The hero's guild contends that the castle did not meet the legal requirements for "passable" and led to excessive injuries."	17
[WP] They call you a villain for murdering parents, kidnapping the orphans, and exposing them to radioactive meteorites or ancient artifacts or experimental drugs. But they don't understand. None of them do. You've taken it upon yourself to create superheroes.	17
