{{Gotterdammerung}}: The world\'s superheroes and villains are all killed or forced into hiding all at once. This may serve to set the stage for a new generation or just the set-up for \"retired\" supers to return.

!!Examples:
* The Decimation in the Marvel Comics depowered the majority of the world\'s mutants, though after \"Avengers vs X-Men\" a new wave of mutants suddenly gained powers.
* In \'\'ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}\'\' the Keene Act outlawed superheroes and, with the exceptions of the government-sanctioned Comedian and Dr. Manhattan, and the wanted criminal Rorschach, retired from crimefighting.
* In \'\'Film/TheIncredibles\'\' a wave of lawsuits led to the super relocation program where supers hung up their capes and assumed completely civilian lives. It later turns out that Syndrome killed off most of the retired supers.
* \'\'TabletopGame/BaseRaiders\'\' takes place after an event called \"Ragnarok\" where all the world\'s superheroes and villains all just disappeared in an 18-hour period. Now there\'s a thriving black market in superpower-granting artifacts looted from their abandoned bases.
