[The screen switches to a news flash.]
In a stunning turn of events, a superhero is being sued for saving someone who, apparently, didn't want to be saved. The plaintiff, Oliver Sansweet, who was foiled in his attempted suicide by Mr. Incredible, has filed a suit against the famed superhero in Superior Court.
[Oliver Sansweet's lawyer stands next to him on the crowded front steps, and speaks to a cluster of reporters] Sansweet's Lawyer: Mr. Sansweet didn't ask to be saved, Mr. Sansweet didn't wanna be saved! And the injury received from Mr. Incredible's "actions", so-called causes him daily pain!
Hey, I saved your life!
You didn't save my life, you ruined my death! That's what you did...!
Listen, you little [interrupted by his lawyer] piece of....
Mr. Incredible's Lawyer: My client has no further comment at this time.
Five days later, another suit was filed by victims of the El Train accident.

Incredible's court losses cost the government millions, and opened the floodgates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over.
[A series of spinning newspaper headlines describing the succession of lawsuits brought against superheroes saying, "DynaGuy sued!", "'SUPER' DAMAGES!", "X-RAY VISION PEEPING TOM?" Irate Taxpayers demonstrate, waving placards that read: "NO MORE SUPER BAILOUTS!", "$UPER EXPEN$IVE!", etc. A government employee addresses her colleagues]
It is time for their secret identity to become their only identity. Time for them to join us, or go away!
Under tremendous public pressure, and the crushing financial burden of an ever-mounting series of lawsuits, the government quietly initiated the superhero relocation program. [Superheroes exiting the public stage, as they wave goodbye (ala Nixon), duck into cars in a shower of popping flashbulbs, cheered by supporters, jeered by opponents, etc.] The supers will be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work. Where are they now?
[A throng of people mill about the city streets in diverse anonymity]
They are living among us. Average citizens, average heroes. Quietly and anonymously continuing to make the world a better place.
