A Weapon Freud Thought He Discovered

Everything in this world has power.

Of course as a superhero, I have more power than the average human, but everything else has some power too; color has the power to make people feel emotion, words have the power to influence minds, even humans have the power to make miracles happen.

Maybe my only difference is that I am aware of my power.

And it's a simple power at that: if any person voluntarily tells me any problem that gives them strife, I can make them forget about it. For some reason, anyone I help has to tell me that they wish to forget about their pain before I get to the actual memory-erasing.

But I am a hero after all and an expert in my field, so it's easy enough to get my clients to say what I need them to.

See, the problem is that resisting memory loss is natural. If people were a little less clueless about how to solve their issues, they wouldn't need saving! Then they want to wallow in their misery; my innate empathy just cannot allow for that, my greatest flaw really.

So it is harder to convince some to be helped. That happens, doesn't mean they are smart enough to stop me, but it's a bit frustrating. I guess some people just don't want to be happy.

And that is the biggest villain I could face.
