"I started to realize, despite all my powers, each and every citizen of Metro City had something I didn't - a choice. Ever since I can remember, I've always had to be what this city wanted me to be. What about what I wanted to do? Then it suddenly hit me - I do have a choice! I can be whatever I wanna be! No one said that this hero thing had to be a lifetime gig. You can't just quit either. That's when I got the brilliant idea... to fake my death."
