Drama Department

Of all the ways that superheroes and villains kill each other, one in particular that people might actually relate to has yet to be invented, which is why I'm laying claim to the invention of the drama radiating villain.  The villain, male or female, it doesn't matter, simply radiates an energy that causes the lives of those around it to spiral into mind numbing drama.  Parts of the brain that control forethought and rational thinking are just shut down, hormones are cranked up to 11.  As a consequence, people's lives fall apart, politician are caught up in scandals faster than new ones can be elected to replace them, government falls apart, the economy is brought to its knees because nobody can interact reasonably with their co-workers without things being awkward!  Mass histeria, cats and dogs living together!  Everyone cowers in fear that the secrets that they are keeping or have created will get out and all of modern civilization comes to a crashing end around this one being that just has to walk around and radiate its power.  I guess that it would be allot like the Scarlet Witch, but instead of altering probability in general, it would just be directed to create drama.
