I had an odd thought: A nascent superhero is \\\"killed\\\" by a particular soldier during a \\\"deniable operation\\\" as part of the process of becoming a superhero, and that soldier goes on to become a Badass of Nick Fury or Solid Snake proportions.
Years later, that soldier bumps into that superhero entirely by accident, and can\\\'t overcome a sense of familiarity and terror.
Finally the soldier bites the bullet and asks if they\\\'ve met; the superhero says, \\\"You killed me. It\\\'s okay. You were JustFollowingOrders. Getting mad at you for doing it would be like getting mad at your gun for shooting a bullet at me. Or the bullet for blowing a hole in my chest. [[ArmiesAreEvil Just like any other soldier in the world.]]\\\"
Cue soldier having a HeroicBSOD.
