Superhero/VillainDisorder Project (184 pts.)
“With Great Trauma …. Comes great mental instability…..”
Being a superhero/villain is not all it cracks up to be. Being a superhero has its perks, but caped crusaders like Spider-Man and Batman also can suffer from some super-sized mental problems.
However, as anyone who reads comic books knows, it's difficult for Spidey or the Caped Crusader to carve out time from their busy crime-fighting schedule to talk with a mental health expert.
