[WP] The best superhero in the world isn't a paragon of virtue or an almost immoral vigilante, but a blatantly obvious, corporate-sponsored sellout. The only reason the rest of the heroes put up with them is because they've proven time and time again that they're damn good at their job.

[WP] After Mana invaded Earth, many things changed. Most devastating of all was the creation of several thousand divinities out of the local faith. This sadly includes you, even if you only know two things about yourself: you are suffering a massive headache and you are the new Divinity Of Atheism.

[WP] Precursors like to help young species in much the same way that some people like to help stray cats. Humans are raccoons, being helped by the precursor equivalent of a respected but nearly blind old person. Other precursors are confused while other young species just think we're odd cats

[WP] Your powers are tied to your emotions. so much so that you've shut them off in fear of hurting someone with them. So, when the local corrupt superhero calls you out for being a criminal all for more publicity, you finally, after years of held up emotion, let loose

[WP] "First of all calling me a "filthy troll" is very hurtful, and second of all I put all the labor and expense to build and maintain this bridge on my own, so I think it's quite reasonable to charge a toll unless you want to forge the river yourself!"

[WP] All your life, mythological beings have tried to pick you up. Childhood? Forced adoption. Teenagehood/Adulthood? Marriage. For example, selkies purposefully left their skins where you'd find them; banshees serenade you outside every night. Now at 30, you've learned why you attract them all...

[WP] Despite being the most powerful hero, and having saved millions of people, everyone despises you. Even villains think you're terrible as a hero. Why so much hate? Because every time you speak, you HAVE to make a pun - in the figure-of-speech sense, not literally.
