2 | * [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant Dawnslight]]'s messages are extremely creepy, with him begging for help through fortune cookies, and sending a lot of bizarre messages besides. |
3 | * Obliteration's powers. He can teleport as soon as he is about to be hurt, can appear near you at any time, can suck out the heat from anything, [[FantasticNuke and has melted three cities into nothing]]. Actually, most things about Obliteration count. |

The source of all the super-powered evil in the world is just a few perfectly human emotions plus superpowers. |

6 | *** WordOfGod actually states that his sudden anger at getting cut off in traffic is part of what inspired the series. |
