OddHat Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero I get drunk, black out, and come to wearing an ape suit and a diving helmet. At work the next day, people are talking about the Robot Monkey stopping two muggings and a convenience store heist. I'm pretty shook up, so I have a few drinks after work. And it happens again. The first step is admitting I have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualplayer Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero I just read the entire thread' date=' and this one is my very, very favorite. I owe you Rep.[/quote'] Aw, shucks. I seem to have a talent for coming up with worst reasons. So here's some more. Hurting you makes the hurting stop. It's something to do between Olympics. My parents were killed....in Committee. I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill. I was bitten by a radioactive busybody. My name is Victor Champion. What else am I going to do? Any hero getting anywhere near She-Hulk gets to carve off a piece. Every win is an excuse to go to Disneyland. And you get in free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I discovered a method to induce zero-point particle generation. No one remembers. I developed a hybrid grain that would survive in desert or arctic conditions and would make famine a historical artifact. No one cared. I developed a smart drug that would take a child through the equivalent of twelve-years of quality primary and secondary education in a period of four hours. The pharmaceutical and education industries blackballed me. Then I accidentally set Eurostar on fire and my phone never stops ringing . . ." "I have no hands and I must box . . ." "I put on the costume to surprise my girlfriend and ask her to marry me. She surprised me when I caught her with my business partner, Hank.

The Weapon Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero Funny thread...Here are a few more: Midlife Crisis. Where else can I wear a codpiece these days? When you pick up a meriorite and your skin turns into alien metal, what else are you going to do, huh? It was either this or stay home with the wife at night... I always wanted an Arch-Nemesis. I'll come up with more,soon. Grimble It was this or stay home with the wives at night, so I became SUPERMORMON. The man with the world's easiest name to make fun of.

Jinx999 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero It's good advertising for my dominatrix buisiness. My dubious mentor (who turned out to be working for Demon) suggested I join the local hero team. When you look like a monster, being able to play the "angsty hero of the night" card is a good way to avoid the lynch mob. Because I can meet hot chicks and, like, everyone will think I'm cool and I get to save the world and be famous and stuff . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odraude Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Re: [Worst Ever...] Reasons to be a superhero "It started as a drunken bet. Very simple really. Jump off of a roof onto a trampoline into a swimming pool. I was so hammered that I'd did it. I jump and hit the trampoline and went higher... and higher... and higher... I then realized in my drunken state that I could fly!! I tried again the next day sober only to find that I had lost my powers. I had realized then that the source of my powers was drinking liquor. From that day on I become Captain Morgan, drunken superhero, saving the day one plastic red cup at a time." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
