Robyn Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero "All I ever wanted was to live a normal life, but people won't leave you alone if you've got superpowers. They automatically assume that you've got to be either a hero or a villain, and, if you're not known as a hero, you must be one of those sneaky villains who are managing to conceal their deeds from the world! Every unsolved crime in the area got pinned on me, and finally I realized that I would have to declare myself, one way or another, just to end it. Becoming a villain didn't seem very helpful, so now I make a habit of thwarting them every once in a while, just to maintain my reputation for not being a villain." "Not all heroes can maintain a secret ID, you know. Some of them have to wander around in costume, where everyone can see them, or sneak around and try to hide so people don't cluster and gawk and stare and cheer. It's bad enough trying to catch the villains without them being able to keep an eye on the 'Celebrity Spotlight' radio that constantly updates hero sightings, and clear out of the area whenever a hero is spotted nearby. I'm just trying to numb everyone to the sight of spandex by doing my part to flood the streets with people dressed like a superhero."

OddHat Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero I used to smoke, but the wife made me quit, so now I put on her lingerie and look for people to beat up. Haven't had a cig in almost two weeks. My doctor said I should get out and meet people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualplayer Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero My horoscope said today was a good day to be a vigilante. I see ads everywhere saying "Just Do It," so I did it. My grandfather either left me bondage gear or a superhero costume. I choose to believe it is a costume. I drew short straw, so my twin got to be the villain. I read a Chick tract and it really had an impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zakueins Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero -Somehow, I got caught by a cult, got possessed by both an angel and a demon, and when I say my shoulder angel disagrees with me, my Chriopractor can buy a new BMW with cash... -I'm trying to interest an investor in the gadgets I'm making. -This is to try and pass my graduate degree program, and it's either this or face a panel...and most of the supervillians hurt a lot less. -You mean, I can do something else?

Black Rose Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero My grandfather either left me bondage gear or a superhero costume. I choose to believe it is a costume. This is scarily close to Penumbra's quasi-origin; he had (minor) mystical powers before, but when he found his grandfather's uniform (lotsa black and shiny leather), it put him on another level.
