Never get sick of torture origins, those scenes are fucking hot

What are some of the most interesting origins?

No wife/kids/parents getting killed.

I would say that origins are all pretty much by default kinda trite. All constellations have been done to death.
>Revenge
>Redemption
>Pact with outside power
>Artefact
>Accidental exposure to McGuffin
>Swept up in ongoing plot
>Inheritance/Replacement

What you have to do is start a story in such a way that you don't cram the origin part down the audience's throats.
