Watchmen (2009)
In the mid-1980s, the looming specter of nuclear conflict between America and Russia cast a shadow over humanity.

However, everything shifted when Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a former superhero and media sensation, plummeted through a skyscraper window following a fight with an enigmatic adversary.
Without being overlooked, the passing of a person sparked an investigation by one of the remaining Avengers, Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley). He reached out to his retired fellow team members – Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup), Night Owl (Patrick Wilson), Ozymandias (Matthew Goode), Sally Jupiter (Carla Gugino) and her daughter Silk Specter (Malin Akerman) – to inform them that their lives are at risk, and a significant event is imminent.

Working on his own, he annihilated the entire team and demolished the supply of vaccines, marking the start of the enigmatic raids that would result in spilled blood and burned money – quite literally.

The Darkest Minds (2018)
As a fervent admirer, I’d put it like this: When I, along with other teenagers, found myself inexplicably endowed with extraordinary abilities, the powers-that-be deemed us a danger and locked us away. In the heat of it all, I managed to break free from a detention facility, finding solace among a band of escapes just like me. As time wore on, this makeshift family came to understand that fleeing wasn’t enough; we needed to push back against those who had betrayed us. United by our remarkable powers, we decided it was time to take control of our own destinies and reshape the world around us.
Megamind (2010)
In a nutshell, Megamind is the world’s most brilliant yet unlucky supervillain. He’s been attempting to take over Metrograd for years, employing every imaginable tactic.

In an attempt to escape monotony, Megamind conceives a new adversary, Titan, initially appearing as Metro Man’s superior in terms of size, ability, and strength. However, it eventually strikes Titan that being a villain is far more entertaining than being a hero.
In a single twist – Titan harbors no ambition to rule the globe; instead, he seeks its annihilation. The question now lies with Megamind: will he engage his own malevolent invention? Can he overpower it? Will the cleverest mind in existence make a wise choice for once? Could an arch-villain transform into the unforeseen hero of his tale?
