Pretty much the title. I’ve been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality.

I think it’s easy for us normies to respect other people and their property because there are clear consequences for violating social norms. But what would the average person do if they had super powers?

    Not at all. It’s easy to get away with things even without superpowers. If I don’t do something, it’s because I don’t want to be a person that does that thing.

      This.

      There are already people who are doing selfish/immoral/illegal things because they can get away with it.

      And there are people who don’t.

      Giving either of those superpowers would (mostly) only increase the magnitude of things they would or would not do.
