Worst-case scenarios: Our heroes relate trying times in their secret-identity careers.

Case 1:
One day I was playing when my friend got very jumpy. I could not tell what he was up to. Then he got very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, jumpy. I asked what was up. He told me that he was going to tell everybody my secret identity. I told him I would kill him if he did that. He stopped. Phew.

Case 2:
Destructo Penguin took off his human mask and started talking in public. And almost gave away my secret. “Hey, you know my owner’s secret identity? Oh, you don’t? Well then, I’ll tell you!” But I jumped on him before he could.

Case 3:
One day I was eating my lunch in my hideout while wearing my superhero costume. It was hot in my hideout, so I decided to change into a skirt and a short-sleeved shirt. But when I took off my mask, the Crusher, who was hiding behind the candymaker, saw me! He ran to say who I was to the city announcer. Just as he was about to announce who I was, I pounced on him in elephant mode and crushed him. Then I tied him up and threw him in the closet and left him in there forever. Well, maybe not forever; just until the house got demolished.
