10 Worst Things Comic Villains Have Done To Regular People
6. Leaking An Assistant's Holographic Sex Tape - No. 1 With A Bullet
No. 1 With A Bullet is a futuristic science fiction story that, scarily, feels less futuristic and less fictional with every passing day.
Described as a "stalker story at heart, with a Black Mirror feel," it follows Nash Huang, personal assistant to chat show host Jad Davies, and semi-celebrity in her own right. Think of her as the Sona Movsesian to Jad's Conan O'Brien: a member of staff who becomes a media personality through sheer charisma and personality. Sadly, the relationship between Nash and Jad goes far beyond that of Sona and Conan (we hope!), particularly after the introduction of contact lenses that can play video, augment reality, and record footage.
After a fling with her boss at the office Christmas party, Nash has no idea that the entire ordeal was recorded on the iRis Shutter lenses. When a mysterious villain leaks the footage, her life is changed forever.
It's soul-destroying enough to have such an intimate moment out there for all to see, but it gets worse. Due to the holographic capabilities of the iRis technology, anybody with a pair of the lenses can fully experience Nash's private affair, as if they were in the room with her.
Aside from the unwelcome media attention, loss of her job, and public shaming that Nash goes through, there's also a clingy super fan and an ever-growing pile of dead bodies to deal with. Privacy is sadly no longer an option for this regular person.
