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.

Or by the other extreme, of where the other one try their damnedest to curb stomp and limits their popularity gain through trying to talk their fans out, and if that doesn't work, they will resort to (usually bad) tactics of trying to limit the amount of people seeing their artistry through very unorthodoxy methods, and, (if even that doesn't work) full-out guilt tripping their audience to make them fully submit and stop spreading their works through the direct attack to their moral compass.

When Notre Dame callously fired Ty Willingham during a legitimate rebuilding period, bringing in Charlie Weis as the alumni's golden boy, it began the "Willingham Curse," resulting in two years without a bowl win and a third year without a bowl appearance and a loss to Navy!
