Truth Hurts by Richard Lau

Few people want to regularly hear the unfiltered truth, so to alleviate his loneliness, Truth-Teller joined a superheroes league.

“Those fake glasses aren’t fooling anyone!”

“Imagine how many people you’d help if you sold that gadgety vehicle and gave the money to charity!”

“Yes, that costume does make you look fat.”

“Sometimes being the fastest man alive isn’t a good thing.”

“Talk to the fish? How often does a seafood restaurant get robbed?”

“You’re nothing without that alien power ring.”

Truth-Teller was the only hero to be killed by heat-vision, batarang, lasso noose, speed-pummelling, trident, and a giant green mousetrap.
