What it is about
Superheroes can have problems, just like everyone else, but some of their problems may be related to them being a superhero. This supplement has 100 problems that a superhero could suffer from, many targeting them specifically but others superheroes in general. They range from legal troubles to villains getting close to their normal life to various kinds of objections to their behaviour and accusations of wrongdoing. They can be used as nuisances or as potential adventure hooks, but shouldn't be overused as the player may feel their character is being persecuted if too many happen at once.
