It's okay, because the puppies are actually The Thing in disguise!
The stadium is playing host to a brutal Blood Sport (which bears a suspicious, but not exact, resemblance to football) that brainwashes its audience into getting invested!
Next up, our hero is announcing his intent to pump a small town full of nerve gas!

The entire population has been infected by a virus. The gas is the only cure.
The Superhero is threatening to destroy a planet.
Now known as Cyber Controller
Into Oblivion
Said football stadium is actually hiding a nuclear bomb underneath. Come game day, the whole city will go boom unless our hero can find that bomb.
Said planet is actually Starkiller Base.
Our hero steals a baby's lollipop.

please call me "XionKuriyama" or some variation, thanks! | What is the good deed that you can do right now?
Don't Try It
The planet is really a space station with a cannon that can obliterate planets.
The lollipop was really laced with cyanide.
Our two heroes are acting like an MRA and SJW.

They're disguising themselves to infiltrate a radical extremist rally of both movements.
Cover: the hero is walking with his archenemy casually destroying buildings.
"I guess I just don't want you to feel like you're nothing. I don't want anybody to feel like that."
Red Like Santa
The "buildings" are actually bases for an alien invasion. The hero and villain have put aside their differences to prevent the extinction of humanity.
The hero is watching tv while a crime is occurring.
Now known as Cyber Controller
The Earth has been trapped in the TV, while the world of fiction has been made real by the villain!
The hero throws his young ward to the sharks.
Red Like Santa
The Hero is Aquaman, and his sidekick is Aqualad. He wants to see if Aqualad can communicate with sea life. Anyway, the sharks are harmless ones that only feed on small fish.
The Hero is having sex with their archnemesis.
Now known as Cyber Controller
Worry
They are under the effects of cursed object that increases lust.
Cover: The hero is seen casually murdering Germans while calling them Nazis.
"I guess I just don't want you to feel like you're nothing. I don't want anybody to feel like that."
The World's Least Powerful Man
They really are nazis, of the neo variety. It's just not accepted to randomly call germans nazis, so it was the perfect cover before Hero got wind of it.
The hero has stolen forty cakes. He took 40 cakes. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.

Shadow of Legends
Well, obviously he's preventing a mass poisoning. Theft is still wrong, but sometimes the lesser evil must be done...
The Hero is setting up to use his ultimate attack on his best Muggle friend!
"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."
The Best Worst Psychonaut
Obviously, it's not really his best friend, but is actually his ultimate enemy in a strikingly realistic disguise; said enemy's superb acting skills as he 'begs' for 'mercy' are not helping him, thus showing how far above his influence our hero is.
Our hero has broken into a safari park and is seen laughing as he inserts a stick of lit dynamite up an endangered rhino's arse.

The rhino is actually a robot spy for his archenemy.

Cream and (redeemed) Infinite
It's actually a carnivorous alien that looks like clothing.
Our hero is trolling people on the Internet.
Sonic In X Minutes Infinite is best Infinite. Please check out the Adaptational Personality Change example I wrote for more info.
Shadow of Legends
He's either delaying the villain(s) by getting them embroiled in the drama, or hoping they'll let slip something about their plans to a seeming uninvolved peer.
The hero is giving off I Have You Now, My Pretty vibes towards their Love Interest...
"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."
Red Like Santa
It's actually a stalker in the hero's costume. The real hero learns about it, and beats him up.
The hero is jaywalking.
Now known as Cyber Controller
Worry
He has to reach an important destination or a love one will be killed.
Cover: the hero is at a KKK rally.
"I guess I just don't want you to feel like you're nothing. I don't want anybody to feel like that."
The World's Least Powerful Man
He's the guest speaker and has prepared a "Reason You Suck" Speech fit to make a daemon burst into tears.
The hero has just made a bunch of people cry.
Now everyone pat me on the back and tell me how clever I am!
...with a heart-felt serenade for his long-lost lover.
The heroine ate the whole pizza without sharing.
ACCOUNT NO LONGER USED. *straps on jetpack*
The Best Worst Psychonaut
The pizza has been poisoned and the heroine is the only one immune; thus, she has been forced to eat the entire pizza to stop anyone else from killing themselves.
Our hero is waterboarding a suspected terrorist. The suspect obviously doesn't know anything and is begging for mercy, but the 'hero' brushes off his pleas by saying that he knows torture is a terrible way of getting information, but doesn't really care, and is only doing it because he enjoys the suffering of others.

"If you think like a child, you will do a child's work."
It's all a play. The hero's merely Taking the Heat by acting like a merciless dictator so the people's anger would be directed at him and unite once and for all to stop the civil war that's currently taking place.
The hero was seen murdering an innocent civilian and is now laughing maniacally while stomping on the fresh corpse.

It was a nightmare the Hero have had while being forced in brainwashing.
The hero has a gun in school.

The King Without a Kingdom
It's a tranquilizer gun to use against the teenage supervillain.
The hero is drinking tea with the villain.
It's been 3000 years…
Here's how it goes.
Describe a cover where the hero does something dickish or cruel. Then find an explanation that makes the action heroic instead.
For example, in the Superdickery article, Superman has just adopted Jimmy Olsen, but learnt that he is going to kill his son in the future. So he's acting like a dick to get Jimmy to disown him.
Let's start: The hero is killing puppies.
