      I don't see that the villain showing up to a good guy event breaks
      thefiction - part of the burden of being a "good guy" is tolerating open
      tauntsand there are no lack of examples in comic book fiction of just
      this sort ofthing.
      
      At best one can sum up the player reactions as "Good guys who faun
      overSuper-supervillains show inconsistent roleplaying". That's not the
      op'sfault.
      
      I'd argue that showing up without the invul flag is actually the
      mostdisruptive thing. Rather than players fauning we'd see players
      ganking theop immediately. "dewd I got her stuff!" The op simply
      becomes a pinata for"players who show inconsistent roleplaying".
