Prompt #75:

Supervillain: „Welcome to this job interview. As you may have heard, my archenemy recently retired. And that is why you are here. By the end of the day, one of you will be lucky enough, to call themself my new archenemy!“

Captured Superhero Number 1: „That is not how becoming archenemies works.“

The other captured heroes agree. The supervillain disagrees.

Prompt #74:

A not very common known fact about werewolves is, that a lot of them are ready to adopt any lost child into their pack. Even if the child isn’t a werewolf themself...


Tags

Prompt #73

„Buu-huu, I’m a ghost.“

„Okay? I am human and I have an exam tomorrow, so it would be very nice, if you could just go away.“

„Wait, you can actually see me?“

„No. Now: shoo!“

Prompt #72

You always knew about their secret identity. How could you not, since you are their parent? And you are not that surprised. Despite you having given your best, your child never had it easy.

However, you have always been proud of them and you will always be proud, even though the rest of the world views your lovely kid as a villain.


Tags

Prompt #71

You promised your firstborn to a witch.

It turned out that said witch originally didn’t want your child in a co-parenting kind of way. Too bad for them.

(They can have New Year, but you will definitely get the kid on Christmas.)

Prompt #70

An angel decides to go live on earth to learn more about humanity.

A demon gets send to earth to find out what an angel is doing there.

A human manages to make two new friends. They don’t know that one of them is a demon and that the other is an angel.


Tags

Prompt #69

The supervillain won and finally achieved world domination. It’s all they ever wanted, all they ever dreamed of, but somehow they don’t feel what they expected to. They should feel good. Ecstatic. Content. Satisfied.

Happy.

But they don’t. They just feel empty and restless.

And alone.

So they make themself a new costume and rescue their own archenemy out of their own prison...


Tags

Prompt #68

You are a superhero with a secret identity. Or it should be a secret identity, but somehow you are not very good at lying. So everyone knows who you are.

However, nobody ever admits knowing your secret (even though you know that they know).

So when you are standing in the middle of your room in your costume without your mask, you are not really surprised, that your roommate only says: „Cool cosplay.“


Tags

Prompt #67

Maybe you should have read the job description a bit more attentive. But you just saw that they were looking for a secretary and you really need a job...

And now you are in Hell for a job interview. You probably should go home, but the salary is very good and Satan seems a lot less evil than you would’ve expected. (Definitly less evil than your last boss.)

Prompt #66

A fairy, who is afraid of flying, and a dragon, who is scared of fire, save the world together.


Tags

Prompt #65

The villain didn’t like it, when their younger sibling became a hero. Nevertheless, they will be damned if they let any of the other villains hurt their sibling.


Tags

Prompt #64

There are aliens in your backyard.

Apparently it’s a family and they are on their way to a vacation in another solar system, but they must have taken a wrong turn somewhere. They ask you for directions (you can’t help). You ask them, if they want to come inside for a coffee (they do).


Tags

Prompt #63

A: „You can’t team up with C!“

B: „Why not? C is totally harmless.“

A: „They tried to kill you. Twice.“

B: „Yeah, but that has been months ago. It’s history. They won’t harm me now, right C?“

C: ...

A: ...

B: „Alright, C, let’s go!“

Prompt #62

You lived a perfectly normal life. Then you started to remember things, impossible things. You remember them clearly. You remember magic, you remember flying. You remember dying.


Tags

Prompt #61

The League of Supervillains sends one of their lesser known members undercover. Said member poses as a superhero to infiltrate the Superhero-Team. And they succeed.

However, the villain has accidentally made friends among the heroes while undercover. They never had friends before. (Among the villains there are no friends, only allies as long as they have a common goal and after that nobody is surprised to get stabbed in the back (literally and figuratively)).

Therefore, the villain doesn’t want to betray his first friends, but neither can they tell them the truth. And if they betray the League of Supervillains, they soon will be right on top of every villain’s to-kill-list...


Tags

Prompt #60

There is a fairy that has been born without wings. To still fulfill their dream about flying like the other fairies, said fairy decides to risk entering a very strange and dangerous world: the world of the humans.


Tags

Prompt #59

When the antichrist, the devil’s child, is born, the devil feels something, they haven’t felt in a very long time: love.

So instead of starting the apocalypse (like they are supposed to do), the devil takes their kid to earth, where they live a happy (albeit not really normal) life.

If only the angels would stop trying to fight them...


Tags

Prompt #58

You are a villain.

Of course you are. Nobody ever cared about you, nobody ever helped you. Since you remember, you had to fight to survive. You learned early, that you had to rescue yourself, because nobody else would come for your rescue. Survival of the fittest was the only rule you ever learned.

So when the hero, your archenemy, saves your life and is injured in the process, you don’t understand.

You don’t understand why...


Tags

Prompt #57

You may be a villain, but not one of the really bad ones. You are actually just a low level thief.

However, you somehow accidentally acquired some kind of super-weapon, made to destroy superheroes (and everything in a 10km radius around them). Since you kinda like this world, you can’t risk this weapon getting in the wrong hands. So you look for a save way to destroy it.

Would be easier, if not every supervillain and superhero were after you (or more precisely: after the weapon).


Tags

Prompt #56

So apparently your time machine is broken. You just wanted to go back to the sixties. Instead there are dinosaurs running around.


Tags

Prompt #55

People were talking about the creature haunting the forest.

They were telling children stories about the monster of the forest, who would come for the kids, if they weren’t well-behaved. They were speaking about the ones, who went into the forest and came back pale as the dead, talking about the inhuman creature, who they nearly didn’t escape. And they were whispering about those, who went into the forest and never came back.

You hear the rumors and the stories. You know that most of them aren’t true. But if their belief, that you are a monster, will keep them out of your forest and away from your family, then you are just fine with it. And maybe you scare the few people, stupid or brave enough to go into your territory, to keep the rumors going.


Tags

Prompt #54

A lot of superheroes keep their identity a secret by acting differently in and out of costume.

So what happens, when the superhero-team finds out, that the supposedly grumpiest, unhappiest and most silent hero is without his mask a real sunshine?


Tags

That’s a really good idea, I didn’t think of that.

I would say, the villain-version of the hero gets thrown into the hero‘s original universe.

(They are propably trying to reach world domination there. Now that everyone seems to think, that the villain is a hero, said villain has a really good opportunity to fulfill their evil goals. However, even though their archenemy is a villain in this universe, too, they are still trying to stop them.)

(The archenemy doesn’t know, why the hero suddenly went dark side, but that‘s not okay. So they have to stop the hero-turned-villain, because what kind of villain would they be, if their archenemy achieves world domination before them?)

Prompt #50

A hero gets thrown into an alternate universe, where they are the villain. Then they save the world together with the alternate version of their archenemy, who is a hero in this alternate universe.


Tags

Prompt #53

You are a supervillain. You also have been de-aged due to a failed experiment. However, that will not stop your evil plans.

...If your archenemy would just take you seriously. (No, you are not cute, you are very dangerous and you will destroy this city, so if the hero could just stop looking at you, like you were some kind of puppy, that would be great.)


Tags

Prompt #52

„So you are not really a demon?“

„Of course not!“

„Good. If you were a demon, that would be very scary... But if you‘re not a demon, how do you explain everything?“

„I‘m the devil, obviously.“


Tags

Prompt #51

You die. But instead of going to heaven or hell or any other form of afterlife, you just wake up and you remember.

„So, how did you like our new simulation?“


Tags

Prompt #50

A hero gets thrown into an alternate universe, where they are the villain. Then they save the world together with the alternate version of their archenemy, who is a hero in this alternate universe.


Tags

Prompt #49

When you woke up in the morning, your biggest concern was your next exam.

Now you are currently arguing with a ghost (who already told you four different stories about how they died), while running away from a demon and you are maybe the only person, who can stop the apocalypse.

And you haven’t even had lunch yet.


Tags

Prompt #48

A soulmate story, where you can hear every laugh of your soulmate (even if they are on the other side of the world).


Tags

Prompt #47

You are a witch and you took the wrong potion. That‘s not good. To your defense: the potions look all the same.

Anyway, now you are a frog and have to find someone stupid enough to kiss a frog. And that’s why you sometimes hate your life...
