... they consider Rant & Rave the Master Villains of the campaign.

... they consider a wet newspapar roll a considerable threat.

... they needed a lung transplant when last peppersprayed.

... they cower in fear at a Jack in the Box. Either the restaurant or the toy.

... they have to push their Strength to pick up their costume.

... your base is a cardboard box with the word "Transmagorifier" on it.... and you fear Calvin wants it back.

... you consider a shaken soda can lobbed at you a 'Doomsday device'.

... you consider a wet paper bag a death trap.

... during Overshadow's latest plot, the other hero teams send yours out to get pizza.

... and getting the pizza back to the rest of the heroes is a challenge.

... there's an entire wing of the emergency ward devoted to them, and on permanent standby.

... a papercut sends your brick to the ER.

... Supro, your sidekick dog, cowers in fear from the Mailman.

.... your evil twin was captured by the police and they didn't bother to call the STAR Squad to transport you. Nor did anyone consider Blackstone.

... if your brand new power is "owns a gun."

... your Team Transport runs on a 9-volt battery.

... this is the third time that the villains laugh, beat you up, and break your devices.

... this adventure.

... your PC's nickname is "Ol' One-Punch." And it ain't because he's knocking people out.

... the only way you can damage your opponent is if they get a hernia while attacking you.

... you & your team can lose gunfights... to an equal number of six year olds with squirt guns.
