Reply to comment by QuarterNoteBandit in [WP] Despite being the most powerful hero, and having saved millions of people, everyone despises you. Even villains think you're terrible as a hero. Why so much hate? Because every time you speak, you HAVE to make a pun - in the figure-of-speech sense, not literally. by Crystal1501

I think with the op meant is that they 'have' to. As in, they always do but don't actually have to make a pun for their power to work. That's how I took it, anyway.

Exactly! If the hero LITERALLY had to, people would understand, but since the hero CHOOSES to... the 'have' is the same as when you say to a friend who did something dumb 'You just HAD to do that, didn't you?', or when you say something stupid as a perfect response to something someone else said and you say 'sorry, I HAD to'. Thus, everyone hates the hero, because to everyone else, he's just being an ass XD
