Top 10 Things That Would Suck About Being a Superhero


you saved the world time and time again
but it’s just never enough welcome to
watchmojo.com HD we’ll be counting down
our picks for the top ten things that
would suck about the in a super hero for
this list we’re focusing on real-life
issues that would make life stressful
for any not so real-life superhero
that’s a twelve million dollar piece of
hardware it was I know you’re trying to
find out where I hang my cape
you won’t number ten your coworkers
fellow superheroes are arrogant it could
be five big guy that Jews love for most
individuals coworkers are part of the
daily routine but for superheroes
there’s more to consider than just
water-cooler banter musical philosophy
or why Suicide Squad was doomed from the
start
superheroes are expected to deliver and
their fellow co-workers expect big-time
results and a natural sense of bravado
is that your boyfriend No cool watch
this you know just save the day and
expect the gang to bow down in
admiration cuz they’re always out
showing off just how super they are too
I don’t know if you’ve been in a fight
before but there’s usually not this much
talking alright sorry my bad
no you have to constantly step up your
game otherwise you’d just be another
outcast with a cape so there’s an art to
the arrogance of bringing up a day’s
work give me five
Oh too slow number nine they’re always
making new enemies put the word out on
building an evil army all Psychopaths
and ex-cons welcome I don’t think you
can have a problem with people here
about this okay so you’ve taken out the
latest villain by late afternoon and you
have the whole night to just chill out
but wait
you’ve managed to upset said bad guys
friend and now they’re on your trail
before you can even jump in the shower
that does it
oh that’s how it works for superheroes
as there’s never time to enjoy the
satisfaction of what you’ve done in
other words your big achievement for the
day feeds away quickly because the game
never really ends it doesn’t make sense
to doze off and you certainly can’t take
a power nap
superheroes are watching your enemies
are watching and the number of superhero
trolls only increases with each passing
day I’ll look into it
number eight you can’t let yourself go –
superheroes need their cardio and given
the physical nature of their job one
should expect to be physically active so
you can’t put down a couple of bottles
of red wine and expect there to be no
consequences suddenly you’re a bit slow
when everyone’s wondering what the heck
is up with your ill-fitting suit and you
know what that means bad headlines and
bad press superhero putting on the
pounds they’ll say and you’ll be just
another fad has been that’s forced out
of town Plus while there may be plenty
of full-figured superheroes roaming
around here and there it’s not like
they’re reaching their full potential
war not suffering the consequences of
rapid weight gain
number seven you can’t enjoy celebrity
status there’s something I have to tell
you I’m really I mean I I was at first
really nervous about tonight regardless
of a superheros accomplishments charm
and connections it’s a bad move to get
caught up in the celebrity game with a
few exceptions superheroes don’t exactly
get to hang out with the glitterati a
self-respecting superhero doesn’t hit up
after parties either because superheroes
don’t party like normal folk if anything
a superhero can maybe enjoy their
celebrity status among their more unique
set of peers but even then it’s likely
that someone will be gunning for your
spot Bruce help me out here huh well
Gaea dresses up like a bat clearly has
issues it’s not like superheroes can go
home and cry but they just need to
familiarize themselves with a different
way of life one that does not involve
celebrity nightlife or meaningful
relationships okay that totally sucks
looks uncomfortable gets kinda itchy
it rides up in the crotch a little bit
to number six new paycheck get rich like
a normal person superheroes get paid in
public approval but that’s basically it
yeah
superheroes receive gifts and I guess
lots of them but not so much that they
can bake a rent so most of them have to
hold down another job if I go please I
need this job you’re fired
hey some probably even go out and borrow
things just to make ends meet and that
age right
that ain’t right at all help myself to
some page hope you don’t worry but what
do you expect my superhero can’t get
hooked up with a proper salary they
gotta pay the bills even if they’re
constantly on the front page of the news
or generally loved by the community but
hey that’s the cost of living a
superhero lifestyle oh I don’t think
this covers the advance I gave you a
couple weeks ago oh right number five
the obligation to save the day if I see
a situation pointed South I can’t ignore
it sometimes I wish I could no you know
the Sun rises you’ve got some bacon and
eggs cooking and you’re looking forward
to a quiet morning then you realize that
a superhero doesn’t take the day off
I don’t feel well I’m gonna go to sleep
well you won’t have a bite no thanks
had a bite your phone or whatever gadget
you happen to have is blowing up with
distress calls and now you have to save
the day again for a first-rate superhero
this isn’t necessarily a problem and may
be more of an annoyance still it’s a
reminder of what you signed up for your
reputation precedes you everywhere and
at all times and everyone wants a little
help because to them it doesn’t seem
like a big deal to ask everyone thinks
it’s a full-time job wake up a hero
brush your teeth a hero go to work a
hero not true over a lifetime there are
only four or five moments that really
matter
number four public backlash while a
great many people see you as heroes
there are some would prefer the word
vigilantes
for the most part the general public
understands their relationship with
superheroes yet there can be times when
that relationship is strained may be
collateral damage was caused during some
epic fight and car insurance certainly
doesn’t cover a Hulk smash
even when you get the job done there’s
always somebody who wants more you’re
ready to crack a cold one but wait you
were trending on Twitter because of your
poor bedside manner that day and what do
you do nothing because superheroes don’t
melt down on Twitter hopefully these
so-called heroes have to be held
responsible for the destruction done to
the city number three physical and
psychological damage
depending on your superhero outfit it’s
certainly possible to maintain a
relatively healthy body after all there
are ways to protect yourself when you’re
slamming into a brick wall or
face-planting into the sidewalk but in
battle you just never know what kind of
gear the other supervillain is sporting
and pow suddenly your knee is completely
screwed beyond all the physical issues
though superheroes have plenty of
psychological issues going on upstairs
and that can be a pretty scary place to
navigate you could saved just one
superhero fail means you’re dealing with
some tough stuff and a couple more
incidents can make you sick in the head
then before you know it poof you’re a
supervillain oops I knew you couldn’t do
it even when you have nothing to lose
you’re weak and I’ve outgrown you number
two your parents are dead you’re gonna
pay what you did to my dad you are dead
look my dad with a bazooka there’s
criteria for being a superhero and one
of the unofficial rules is that your
parents must have experienced an awful
death this is called an origin story
people are there exceptions well sure
but most a level superheroes have some
sort of personal tragedy to deal with
and who do traumatized superheroes pal
around with usually other superheroes
who also have had to deal with this
trauma and a lot of them really don’t
like to talk about all the stuff that
made them who they are makes for some
pretty messed up relationships I tell
you Plus when all that is said in Donnie
would be just plain weird of a superhero
didn’t have an emotionally devastating
backstory it’s you know it’s just one of
the rules I let my father die
because I trusted because he was
convinced that I had to wait at the
world is not ready before we unveil our
topic here are a few honorable mentions
mister sense we didn’t ask to be saved
mr. Sandt we didn’t want to be saved and
the injury received from mr. Incredibles
action so called quarter same day we
played I saved your life sir the
telephone
I’m afraid my protocols are being
overridden We Need to Talk you have
reached the life model decoy of Tony
Stark please leave a message
hey I’m sorry I’m running a bit late I
got stuck in some traffic number one
your friends and family are always
targeted captured or killed this is why
Only Fools are heroes because you never
know when some lunatic will come along
with the sadistic choice a superhero can
never rest easy even when the day’s work
is done obviously someone is always
plotting to hurt you and what better way
than by taking the head of your closest
friend I think you won’t fight fight
fight for that special lady in your life
she’s safe on the ground how about you
close but I am NOT talking about Lois
every boy’s special lady is his mother
that’s the big reason why superheroes
have secret identities and guard them so
fiercely if a villain doesn’t know who
you really are then he doesn’t know
exactly who your loved ones are of
course that doesn’t help the people who
have public relationships with you in
your superhero identity please don’t
worry baby let me get you out of that
shit box and just when you think that
life will calm down a bit you’re
shackled up in a super villain dungeon
forced to defend your actions – you’re
disappointed crew who are now screwed
because of your superhero fail hey hey
do you agree with our selections what do
you think would suck about being a
superhero I’ll give you 200 bucks for
all that seems a little low for more
mind-blowing top 10s published every day
