[X] Disgraced Superloser
Once upon a time, you were set to become one of the greatest heroes that the Earth has ever seen. You would have left a legacy that would echo across time and space, inspire future generations of heroes.
Okay, not really but a little ambition is never a bad thing, something that one of your former mentors told you. Not that you ever see them much anymore, not after the "Incident". It seems like it was only yesterday that you were heading out into the world to make a name for yourself as one of the world's heroes. You had all the ingredients that you believed were needed to make it big in the hero business. Mentors, sponsors, A-rank superpowers, good PR, and even an adorable animal sidekick. And for several months, things were looking up. You were on your way to superhero stardom.
Nothing could have prepared you for what had happened at the "Incident"
But you'd rather not think about that. Regardless, after the "Incident", you'd become the world's biggest laughingstock. Nobody took you seriously when you went out to fight crime. All you got from your fellow heroes were ridicule, pity, and contempt. Nearly all your hopes and dreams had gone down the drain that day. Most of your old friends were ashamed to even be seen with you, much less be associated with you. Your sponsors cut ties with you and in one case, even sued you for gross incompetence, though luckily the judge ruled in your favour.
Even villainous scumbags refused to take you seriously. The moment they recognised you, they'll start laughing and saying shit about how they could easily take you. Despite all the insults and mocking that were thrown at you, however, it seemed that people had forgotten one small fact about you.
Your power ranking was still A-rank. This combined with many criminal letting their guard down resulted in many villains and weak monsters being beaten down like the trash that they were. Unfortunately, a lot of these arrests were pretty isolated and any that did reach the news were either attributed to flukes or some other hero. Turns out those criminals got the last laugh by giving credit of their defeat at your hand to other heroes. Even defeated scumbags were ashamed of being defeated by you.
So for some time, you languish in the E-list hero rankings, making do with beating down small-time crooks, the occasional monster and generally passing the time in misery since you weren't called in to assist with the major incidents that occurred during this time.
However thing began to change when one of the few friends you had convinced you to show up at a party, in hope of getting you out of your funk. Needless to say, things did not turn out as planned. You were still the laughingstock of the world and almost everyone at the party kept reminding you of that fact. A few drinks too many and one insult too much later, you'd ended up being forced into a practice fight with an up-and-coming newcomer.
On the day of the match, hardly anyone came by to watch at the local Guardian Branch Training room. Unfortunately (or fortunately) almost everyone believed that the newcomer's victory was a foregone conclusion. The greenhorn being the arrogant little asshole he was made it so that match was anything goes. Powers and special techniques were allowed. Weapons and gadgets were fine. So sure of his victory, they didn't take up a stance when the two of you were about to fight. After all, they were powerful. They had already taken part in several major operations and were the envy of their fellow contemporaries. How could they lose?
You proceeded to completely and utterly defeated them.
Every attack they threw at you, you completely neutralised, even outright ignoring some. Every defence they put up, you shattered mercilessly. No matter what move or powers they used, you countered them with ease. With terrifying skill and a burning fury born from endless mocking and ridicule, you crushed them piece by piece, showing them exactly why you were once considered the most promising hero of the generation.
You left the training room feeling much better about yourself, leaving the new hero a crying quivering wreck begging for mercy. There was a dedicated healer in the building so they weren't in any danger of dying. Since no one had watched the fight, you had little doubt that the little bitch was going to try and spin your victory as some kind of a fluke or him being generous. Or at least that what you'd thought was going to happen.
You weren't expecting none other than a founding member of the Guardians to have been watching the match. Thanks to that, you were soon summoned to the Guardian's HQ for a meeting where you were given the chance to prove to the world that you weren't a screw up, that you were a hero worthy of respect and trust.
Thus, you were chosen to become the leader of Crossville City Branch of the Guardians.

You're powerful, that much is a given considering that you crushed a supposed A-ranker rookie hero like they were nothing, but what exactly is the nature of your abilities? Or rather, just what kind of hero are you?
