Why not helplessness friends?

Even in adverse situation person becomes helpless.

And misfortune is not what is always responsible for adversity.

Noopur and Payel have a point.. Crisis seems to be a better answer rather than misfortune imo... Adversity - troubling or a difficult situation Crisis Could also be a troubling or difficult situation.

Adversity means very difficult or unfavorable situation.

Ex: = He showed courage in adversity.

Syn = misfortune.

Crisis generally needs to be supported by some description; say, economic crisis, water crisis etc. So it basically a type of problem and needs a descriptive to complete its meaning and takes form of a noun. But, misfortune and adversity both are complete in themselves, and are adverbs (adverb of time).

Vishwam said:   1 decade ago
Adversity :State of great Suffering and distress.

Crisis:it is an unstable situation of extreme danger or difficulty.

Hope this help better.

Adversity - difficult or unfavorable situation.

Misfortune - unpleasant or unlucky situation.

Crisis-affected by very serious problem (S).

So answer is misfortune.
