What is your favourite peril scenario for superheroine?

Kind of an open question for y'all.
What is your favourite scenario for your unlucky superheroine in peril? I mean, we all like different things, right? There has to be something that make you ticks.
For me, I like damsel in distress situation, the best scenario for me, and I am surprised that not too many producers go down that route anymore, is Superheroine damsel rescue gone wrong and they themselves being captured by the baddies. And the baddies parade her like a trophy in front of the other victim, kind of like a message to the damsel "See? We got this superchick they send to rescue you, you have no hope."
Producer don't do them anymore. Usually they are either other superheroines, or they imply the superheroine is shown defeated to the world, the closest for recent movie I remember is the original Skyfire from RYE but its just not the same, because that was her mum, and she wasn't defeated (IIRC skyfire defeated everyone and saved her mum at the end)
Otherwise the one that check that box is Kelsie Chamber's Spellbinder in "The Big Story" When Spellbinder was trying to rescue the girls (plural) and got herself captured by the slaver, and then she was bounded in front of the captive and was forced to take off her gloves and boots and exposing her breast (while the other girls stripe topless and then bound) is just the icing on the cake, that totally humiliate Spellbinder and showing her incompetence and further insult the captive. I personally think the ending is a bit of a shame when the guy (Viper?) rescue all of them, but well.......It's the 90s, what you gonna do?
So, what's your favourite scenario? Who knows, maybe some producers saw it and will make them come true, I am still waiting for mine
