Learning a friend has super powers

You've just learned three things. Your closest female friend loves you, she's a super and she's chaotic evil!

Well perhaps not evil but at the very least a bad girl. I can't say I've gotten far into the concept but it's an idea I've been considering. A guy is invited by one of his close females friends out somewhere saying that she has something important to show and tell him. He can't really get any information out of her but she's a good friend so he goes. As he pulls up he believes he sees her standing there only to recognize her as one of the most dangerous supers there is. Being a reasonable man with a survival instinct he throws the car in reverse and tries to get the hell out of there only to have her lift his car off the ground with one hand and rip his door off with the other.

As she snaps his seat belt with a flick of her finger and pulls him out he thinks he's screwed only to end up with a kiss. Then in his friends voice she yells. “Surprise!”

Now for this scenario the guy would be lacking in any super powers so he'd be quite surprised by this revelation. Even more so when she picks him up and takes him flying so they can have some private time to talk. They've been friends for a while now and she feels it's time she let him in on her secret and moved their relationship along and while she assures him she won't harm him she will kill everyone else he loves if he reject her.

So a yandere super fem.

Any thoughts?

Of course, variations on this theme have been used before. I don't see that as a problem, particularly for you. You do a great job building up a story and if you set it up I'm sure it will work out great.

I'm going to brainstorm a little, but feel free to take anything that works for you and discard the rest. This is your story.

Perhaps, she's not really a bad girl, but the media has portrayed her that way - to the extreme.

Maybe, she has been portrayed as the ONLY evil super fighting against something with Justice League PR, but in reality there is a totally different story. The JL types are in league with a true cabal that is taking over the entire world.

She wasn't supposed to be super and she is cornered and he is the last person she can think of to turn to.

She needs his help. She's the super, but he's got to be a hero to save her and the world. He is in incredible danger. And something needs to be limiting her from simply going all out. It could be a limit on her powers or perhaps she has a family. Maybe, she has sweet kids and a good husband. She has to keep a tight alter ego to protect them, but she needs HELP.

He's an old flame - the only person in the world who she knows really loves her and doesn't have anything in his life to keep him from helping her. And right away she's not thinking about ditching the husband and kids, but she needs his help. At least in the beginning he is not going to get the girl or any glory, but maybe that changes as the story develops. I don't know.

But initially he should be conflicted about helping her, but of course he does help, because he loves her.

This has gotten a bit too autobiographical for me to touch

Just some ideas. Maybe they will spark something for you.

Thanks for the thoughts supowerfan. I don't know if I'll get around to writing the story as for the moment I'm working on a giantess story but if I do I'll give your comments some consideration. That said I fully intend this lady to be a force to fear. She's someone that heroes and villains avoid confronting Often my stories build up around one moment or a line. One line I want to fit her well is "Of course you're a hero. Do you realize how many you've saved by keeping me entertained!"

I think the key to this kind of story is establishing the evilness of the Supervillian.

For the last several hours since i saw this post i keep trying to remember a movie from the 80s that had a kind of similar idea. It was about a group of people who are brought to an island and then set off where they are killed one by one by there host- a mysterious criminal supervillian who in a series of flashbacks we learned they eached wronged in there past-through that we get a sence of who he is, and why he becomes kinda of a twisted monster.

Until there is two of them left a man and a woman-and the woman of course is the woman he had a brief but tender rommance with even as he became a kind of phantom of the opera like creature. It turns out that he did this he planned out..really just to show her. to show her what terrible people are in the world in the effort to make her understand him. Which i remember as being kind of neat...even if have been racking my brains to figure out the the title

(THANKS HAPPIEST!!!!)))

Anyway yeah. We need to know why she is bad, why he should be affraid of her, and why she wants to do this..there is a clever idea here for a story that if you flesh out in your style-and no one is better at fleshing things out-i think could really work. The story does have a phantom of the opera vibe i get which does work. And would be curious for the ending.

So good luck on it

Thanks Castor. I am quite fond of the idea. I even commissioned a little drawing to help me remember it of the moment the guy is snatched up and carried away. The why of the situation is such a good question and I'm having trouble answering it. What does he give her that makes her desire him so? I don't believe it could just be subservient fear. She can likely get that from anyone or most anyone.

I attempted this idea once before but the lady came out as more of a lawful evil. What she wanted from the guy was a jester. She needed someone she's attached to that they can criticize her actions and she won't kill the immediately but someone with the wisdom to not push her over the edge. They'd also need to be able to give her useful information. I don't believe a chaotic character would want that kind of feed back though. What seems more reasonable to me is he makes things more fun for her whether he disagrees with her actions or agrees. For example she wants to kill someone but he convinces her that she'd have more fun if she made it into a game. He can't outright convince her to spare them but he can convince her to give them a chance. Unfortunately this chance will likely be a very unpleasant experience for them.

It may even be the reason she chose to bring him into this part of her life is she's bored. The old games have gotten old and so she needs new rules to make them interesting again. Yet the person has to understand this isn't about controlling her it's about making the game fun.

The evil can be a bit tricky to but less so. I don't imagine she's the I want to rule the world type. Chaotic after all. She's more like Morrigan from dark stalkers in that she wants to do what she wants to do and to who she wants to do it to. The big issues have likely come up when people tried to stop her.

Well theres an old saw-Superman can just be Clark Kent when he wants to-and some comics have played with the reverse-that some supervillians just take there masks off and become ordinary people-most criminals and murders do the same thing in real life -when there not robbing banks or serial killing there just the guy down the street or your friend on facebook. Some of them have families and basically normal lives.

The advanage is well-peace, security at times and the mask of the everyday-and well just a chance to sit home and watch Battlestar Gallactica when you want to-even a chaotic evil character would enjoy that-the rules may not apply to you, but well there is the satisfaction of having the rules apply to other people- to turn it on and off at will is something.

Of course the question is why does she turn it off, why is this over...

Well maybe she grew sick of the old life, or it just turned her off so much that its time to crash and burn it-and well she didn't want him to get hurt.

And if your curious the movie i was talking about turns out out to be Deadly Game.

found a link to it on youtube.

That's true and they're a lot of ways to trigger a reset on her life. One would be she simply made a mistake and realized that this identity has been compromised. If she's going to want a place to store her stuff and not worry about it getting broken she's going to have to find a new place and a new face. However, they're certain comforts from this life she isn't willing to leave behind. Her friend is one of them.

She may also have become bored and believes this will liven things up. That or perhaps hiding her double life from him has become annoying.

Just a thought I find kind of amusing. Just because you're an almighty bad ass doesn't mean you find your seventy inch plasma screen television being broken funny.

I think this is a great story idea. It would also work as the basis for a sitcom. Pretty much anything. Very cool.
