The Super Hero Hobbyist

        “Demolished. So easily demolished. What kind of warriors does this planet possess?” The alien mused in English to mock the super heroes he just defeated and the city he nearly leveled. Without the evacuation efforts of speedier heroes the death toll would have been massive. But even then tears would still be shed because of the attack by the lean, tall, four-armed monster from a far off galaxy. Though humanoid he possessed powers far beyond that of one. The super heroes fell because of the strange energies he emitted and how he warped reality. Not thermal, not electrical, or even magic that the wizard heroes knew.

         The alien then spoke in his language out of his second mouth, “For our empire this world is claimed.” Immediately after that a human arm punched him and threw him through several buildings. While in pain he cursed in his language several words that would be censored by any television network in any galaxy. In English then many languages afterward to make sure whoever did it got the message. “Who has the nerve to strike me?”

         The most powerful superhero of the Earth of the universe of this continuity(so the most powerful ever, but a few universes or fictions over could beat him) flew forward in her simple white costume and generic white mask. The only marking on her was a purple star. Something she selected at random.

         “I have the nerve,” her smile couldn't be seen through her mask but her snide attitude could be heard clearly. “I like you. You won't break so easy.”

         “What do you even mean human?” The alien switched back to his language. He spoke mostly through the technology of a universal translator that he used and choosing to use it was no habit.

         The superheroine flew at the alien and attacked the alien without any mercy. Punch after punch with the alien using every power of his to fight back and learning very quickly about the heroine's invincibility. She tossed the alien's body among the heroes the creature defeated just moments before.

It spoke in a human tongue one last time, “Such brutal blows. Aren't the warriors here called superheroes? Do you have no soul?”

         The heroine answered, “Eh, they call me a super heroine and stuff but this is mostly a hobby. I'd keep you around as a villain that could potentially be a decent fight, but you could actually kill some of my buddies and that'd be a total bore. Or some of the hot heroes. After taking care of you maybe I'll head to the movies.”
