Great superhero/villian name! Meta Man never solves the problem at hand. Instead he/she/it/they obliquely solve the generalized case. Meta Man Sees a mugger stealing cash from a victim, works on legislation to make BitCoin the default for all transactions.

JRPGS have had quite a few of those. "In my past, I suffered from $SOME_PAIN. It made me realize that the path to end pain was to END ALL LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE so there would be no more pain." Particularly hilarious if $SOME_PAIN fails to connect with you, so the villain from your point of view essentially leaps from "chosen last to play kickball" to "DESTROY EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE" (and on occasion "EVERYWHEN").

Please post to HN if you discover one wing growing out of your back. Let us help you before it's too late. When my min-maxing ways [1] are put into motion and I've worked out how to rip the very moon from the sky and drop it on your erratically-floating head for the low, low cost of 0MP (which, fortunately, will have no other side effects than to cause you precisely 9999 points of damage), it'll be too late for you to decide that you could have just settled for a cup of hot chocolate, enjoy curled up in a blanket sitting next to a roaring fire.

You just made me spit coffee all over my keyboard, thanks for the chuckle!

First, however, MetaMan will need to end the Hollywood accounting practice so better superhero movies can be made... about him!
