Karmakaze Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero I got mugged on the way to a costume party. I've used that one. Although it was more. "Got mugged on the way to a costume party and got lucky stopping the guy. Then minor villains started showing up to make a rep for themselves taking out the 'new hero in town'."

CraterMaker Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero My namesake "hero", CraterMaker, became a SuperHero to conquer the Earth - He's an alien, his species is incredibly powerful, and as a rite of passage they're supposed to conquer a planet. Normally, you drop on a planet of neanderthals or vikings, and mop up the place, get worshipped as a god, etc. etc... CraterMaker landed here in his energy form, started mouthing off and destroying things, and got his butt handed to him on a platter by some run of the mill heros.. He was sooo embarrassed he hid out and tried to come up with an alternate plan. With his Int of 8, he decided he'd be a hero and build up a cult of personality, and start his conquering by being elected President of the United States... He's basically a brutal thug pretending to be a good guy, so he makes a lot of faux paus.. The fun part of playing him was that, and his evolution into being a real hero, even if only accidental. He did start up an organization called "The CraterKids", juvenile delinquents who roam in packs and beat up drug dealers.. At least, they accuse them of being drug dealers. -CraterMaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamLeisemann Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero So far, you've all come up with some good bad reasons. Congratulations. "I was drunk, had no liscense, and was riding a motorcycle at 77 miles per hour, and whern I crashed, my brain was severely scrambled. I recovered and decided that I must be invulnerable or something, because I survived. So I decided to use my invulnerability to fight crime."

This is the only way I can help those who refuse to be helped. (Fortunately, I have yet to play this character, and he doesn't have a mental transformation.)

Those two are actually fairly good reasons, especially the first one. Oh, and has anyone suggested, "I do it to get me some wimmen" yet?

Kelcyron Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero - I accidentally killed the real hero on a historical recon mission, but history says he remained active for years. Now I have to take his place to preserve the timeline... This was actually used on Star Trek: Deep Space 9. After Sisko and some others went back in time to the Bell riots in 21st century earth, Gabriel Bell (leader of the riots and a very important historical figure) was killed in the riots and Sisko took his place. The 5 crew members who were there know what happened and know why Sisko's face appears in the history books as "Gabriel Bell" but no one else knows about the change.
