Superheroes

Superheroes is a short form game that requires four people. In this game, four people must go up and go on the back. The audience will be asked for the name of a superhero and a world-threatening crisis that the hero must solve. Once this is established, one person must step forward to become the superhero named. They must react to the crisis at hand, and then call on assistance from another hero. At that point, one other person must step forward as the next hero. The first person will give them a superhero name, and the second person must embody that name. The second hero should similarly react to the crisis and call on the third hero, giving them their name. Once the third improviser is on stage, the fourth improviser can come out as the villain. The third hero gives the villain their name, and the villain must then explain their dastardly plot to the heroes. The villain must then defeat the third and second heroes in thematically-appropriate ways, only to be thwarted by the first hero. Awash in victory, the first hero must then say a pun about the battle, ending the game.

Tips

 * The world-ending crisis should be as crazy as possible to create funny reactions.
 * The first hero should be able to make a pun to end the game.
