 New superhero idea: the pun-isher. Says it all really. Villains surrender in droves just to make him stop. Nemesis: the Joker (who hates his guts).

 @0c1a9324 I feel like this would fit in with the universe of Drew Hayes' Villain's Code series. He's really having fun with weird super powers. Among the usual super fast/strong/smart super-powered are folks who weaponize common sayings, or who can warp reality but only as performance art projects (aptly named "Captain Bullshit").
