You’re the world’s most notorious super villain and the heroes can’t stop you. I mean they could but you don’t technically do anything illegal. You are The Spoiler and just use your telepathy to read minds and ruin the ending of whatever someone is currently into.

“You could rule the world,” the Hero says. He’s sitting on a park bench, head in his hands. He’s technically not the Hero today, but not even his civvies could protect him from you. “You could unmask every hero and sell that information. You could walk through Wall Street and destabilize the economy. You could sell country secrets, even Nuclear Codes.”

You stand in front of him, hands clasped behind your back. You rock back on your heels. “Yes, yes, but that’s not what I asked. I asked if you’ve seen Wanda Vision?”

“Please,” he begs. “Please, don’t do this.”

“It’s a really great show,” you say. Your face hurts from the force of your grin. “I didn’t think I could get into a storyline with her at the center. But then I heard–”

“You read our minds–”

“–heard your team talking about starting it and that was all the push I needed. How could I not watch a show endorsed by our city’s finest?”

“It’s my day off,” he says. He finally looks up at you and there are actual tears in his eyes. “I just want one day off the enjoy media like a regular person. That’s all I want.”

You press a hand to your chest. “I didn’t know you felt that way. I’m sorry, you’re right, I shouldn’t bother you when you’re not on a clock.”

“Really?”

“No,” you cackle and tell him the ending.
