10 Disturbing Times Superheroes Lost It

3. Jon Fertilises The Office Plant - Sex Criminals

Superman Red
Image Comics

It's a well known fact that nobody has ever enjoyed working in a bank. Jon, a character from Image's Sex Criminals who has the power to stop time whenever he orgasms, has a unique coping mechanism.

Sick and tired of slaving away at the legitimately evil BankCorp company, Jon decides to use his power in the way that it was always meant to be used: for petty revenge.

Taking a break from crunching numbers and slowly having the will to live sapped away from him by the corporate lifestyle, Jon takes a bathroom break. After treating himself to a little activity that is decidedly not suitable for work, he freezes time, giving him the opportunity to leave a little present for his legitimately evil boss, Kuber Badal.

That's right: Jon squats down on Badal's office plant, and lets his bowels do their business. It's a fantasy that many of us have had (right, guys? It's not just us?), but not one that we ever expected to see a comic book hero indulging in.
