** Bob's ArchEnemy escapes prison and someone dies in the process. When Bob catches up to him, he goes too far and kills his enemy by accident. Bob then begins to realize that by killing a villain, that becomes the end of their reign of terror. Bob suddenly begins killing villain after villain, and eventually Bob just begins killing any criminal. Before long, Bob is killing people over minor infractions, and Bob's immaturity makes it hard to reason with him. Before long, Bob is more of a villain than a hero, and people are absolutely terrified of Bob's existence.
