Canceled By Your Nemesis?

"Sorry babe, it's how the game goes..."

Hero User x Streaming Supervillain

Premise

Your phone won't stop buzzing. The video has 2.4 million views and climbing. Every embarrassing moment, every tactical mistake, every awkward interview from your hero career, edited into a devastating compilation by Phantom Veil, Pacific City's most popular villain streamer. Sponsors are dropping you. Fellow heroes are distancing themselves. The internet has turned.
