[WP] You've tried everything to be a good guardian angel, but nothing you do can stop your human from being a tremendous asshole. You think you'll just possess them instead. Besides, you're not really an angel. | Work on being a good guardian angel, it's good for the church's publicity, Jerry said.

[WP] The genie tries to warn you of the implications before you cut him off, "I have no intention of wishing for it, but hypothetically, could you grant it?" you ask. "Yes, technically" the genie relents. | \- *So... that means I can wish for the light speed to be lower than sound speed?*

[WP] The public's hate for super heroes has grown. The reason: They don't kill villains, which gives them a chance to escape. You are the leader of the biggest anti-super hero groups. You are going from a rally you get stopped by some of the greatest heroes. They say they're here to kill you. | Jason slammed on the brakes as five supers dropped, materialized, popped into existence or just appeared in front of us.

[WP] You awake suspended above your bed. Unable to move, unable to cry out. The room is filled with a bright light, and you can make out faint silhouettes. An alien abduction? Tears in your eyes, you almost give up hope when I scaly hand pulls you to safety. The monster under your bed is not happy. | I lay paralyzed as the familiar light fills my room. The same light I had seen before.. Since I was 3. I felt the fear as the silhouettes appeared around my bed. Mentally I scream and beg for help as I feel the clammy hands of the alien rub at my arm.

[WP] You’re rather annoyed that your history teacher gave you a “D” on your report about the Aztecs and Incas. Not just because you’re certain she doesn’t like you, but also because - as an ancient being trying to adapt to modern society - you were LITERALLY there. | Mr. Templeton blinked once, then again, and finally he shook his head as if waking from a dream.

Now, the ulta-rich have returned and want to reap the benefits of the new world. | A millennium ago, the world was on the brink of collapse.

[WP] Dragons inherently manifest when there is a certain amount of something that people see as precious. You wake up one day to find a very confused dragon in your 40K figurine room. | There were things that were needed to be asked.

Humans, animals, monsters and even the lowliest of bugs can earn this title.

[WP] Your superpower isn’t anything special. You can make stuff disappear behind your back then pull it back out again. When a friend at a party asks you to do it to them it sounds like a great laugh. But when you pull them back out they look older, disheveled, and are frantic to be sent back. | I was not born special. The event of my birth was as normal as any other child, a run of the mill baby with run of the mill parents in a house far too cramped and a head far too big for my neck. Yet despite the absolute mundaneness of my birth, my parents loved me as if the world had become anchored around my existence... | What?! No!No! Take me back! Take me back!

[WP] In this world healers, while respected, are often looked down upon due to their limited offensive capabilities. One day your party is completely wiped out, and the world finds out just how dangerous knowledge of human anatomy can be. | "Oh the toe bone's connected to the foot bones" she stomped down hard with the spike of her heel, crushing her captor's pinky toe, forcing him to let go as he squealed and hopped around in pain.

[WP] The hero, normally jovial and humorous in their interactions, steps into a watering hole for villains, shaking with rage, tears running down their face, and with as much patience and calm as they can muster, simply asks "Who did it?" | There's rules, there's exceptions.
Most heroes understood that. Violence wasn't ok, until it was. Everyone was to be saved, until they weren't. Its why most of them tried to kill me on sight.

[WP] In 1954, major leaders of the world received a message: “We have examined your planet, and do not find it desirable. As we depart, we leave some of our technology knowledge on your moon for you.” They thought we’d all share it. Instead we had a space race, followed shortly by a tech revolution. | Sweat dripped from the trembling forehead of Thomas John Watson Jr, as he spoke:

[WP] You managed to retire from the supervillain game long ago, when you became a parent. Now, your grandchild has inadvertently been kidnapped by an upstart villain, and you're about to show them why the world (rightfully) feared you. | “It’s a lovely day isn’t it?”
“Look, we don’t want any trouble. Just transfer us the money and no one will get hurt.” The voices on the other side of the phone sounds spooked by my sudden remark.

[WP] "Oh for fucks sake, you too? Right, ok, cards on the table. Is anyone here ACTUALLY a human being and not an inhuman creature infiltrating the human race?" | I knocked on the door and entered the room. A table full of non-human entities turned their heads to stare back at me. I closed the door with my one free hand and counted to three.
I opened the door again.
No, still non-human.

[WP] The war has ended, and all governments have collapsed. Now the world is so devastated that recovery is but a pipe dream. Now, in a cruel twist of fate, a massive alien fleet arrives, demanding to speak to the leaders. You are chosen at random to address them. | "We seek a meeting with your leaders."
"Go, go," everyone shouted, pushing me forward.
"Are you the leader of Earth?"

[WP] As a Villain, one night, someone knocks on your door, you open it and there she is, the most famous invulnerable heroine of the city, completely drunk and with many bruises, as soon as you realize who she is, she passes out into you arms | The knock was unexpected. I was always careful to keep my civilian and villainous lives separated, so this had to be someone knocking on my other life's door, not looking for Doctor Disaster. Unless I slipped up somewhere? Well, it was probably best to see who it was regardless...

It's nothing special anymore. Honestly, I've kind of gotten used to it.

The crow had been sitting on my shoulder for close to a week. I'd shoo it away, and it would yell at me from a nearby branch for a bit before settling back down over the small holes worn in my jacket. This tended to draw stares at the café where I'd been brooding all week. I think the bird ... | \[TW: Child endangerment\]
The revolver feels heavy in your hand.

[WP] you have the odd ability of "idle stockpile" which means that if you havent performed a certain action for longer, the more easy or powerful is the next time you perform the action. You just threw your first punch in 10 years. | I had not thrown a punch in years, but now I had, and a man was dead because of it. More than dead, unrecognizable. Half of him, the lower bits, now a pile of stringy red goo and bones on a bar floor. The upper half had flown up, leaving a neat hole in the bars wood ceiling, then travelled further up still, into the sk... | I can't remember how that punch felt. Everything shattered the moment he did, forming a million mirror edges to reflect back at me the terrible thing I was.

[WP] You failed as a superhero. You let a known supervillain go to save a hostage he held, and he ended up causing devastation to what you loved. Live lost, your significant other's parent dead, and crumbled building left in ruins. No one blamed you for it, but you did. Enough was enough. | I expected fire and brimstone hell, I didn't expect a cool room inside of what looked like a fairly standard office. The room wasn't small, nor was it large.

Their wealthy parents sends a specialist to the supernatural hamlet to recover the missing heir because the police are forbidden to enter the supernatural sovereign territory. | My heart stopped.
