A strange coincidence involving various misfortunes involving people who have played the legendary superhero "Superman" in popular media.
The first example of the curse was Kirk Alyn, the very first actor to portray Superman. Shortly afterward, he found himself unable to be associated with anything other than Superman. He later passed away from Alzheimer's Disease.
While there were at least two other examples of the curse, it did not become more apparent until 1995, when Christopher Reeve became completely paralyzed after being forcefully thrown off of a horse and died from cardiac arrest nine years later, aged 52.

Is the Superman Curse real? The world may never know. But one thing's for sure: These two actors are dearly missed.

Get the The Superman Cursemug. The phrase defining the September crash that the New York Mets go through every season since the 2007 season.
Dude, what's wrong with the Mets? They went from first to last. Oh, yeah! It's just the Metember curse.

Get the The Metember Cursemug. Based on a true event.
Me: Heard a noise, jumped out of bed and stubbed my little to toe with quite some force against the bottom part of the door. The pain was so intense I started Qbert cursing.

Get the TacoBell cursemug. After the Chicago Bears and their dunce GM Ryan pace parted way with QB Jay Cutler, the team was given a six-year curse in honor of Cutler's jersey number where the team will face a six-year period of misery and despair. The curse expires after the year 2023 -- the same year Cutler will be eligible to be voted into the Hall of Fame.
The Bears signed Nick Foles, Mike Glennon, and drafted Mitchell Trubisky. When will Cutler's curse ever end?

Get the Cutler's Cursemug. When you're playing soccer and the team opposing you scores a goal and then another goal is scored a minute afterwards, usually by that same team.

Get the goal cursemug. A dangerous curse. If you work at subway, eventually you will end up seeing subway everywhere. If you leave, it will stay with you for a short period of time. If you return, you will immediately see it the day of your return.
