Ok, even if one is corrupt or could become corrupted, what would be the point of being the villain if powers allows you the opportunity to have almost everything beyond your wildest dreams even if you have the power. And this is real life, where many do not have the courage to take on the PD, SWAT, Military Branches, nukes, CIA, NSA, FBI unless they are physical gods, but other than that, our conventional weaponry can still contain and even kill most superhumans (this is why there isn't a Joker or Batman in real life and villains like Doc Ock or Green Goblin [let's face it] would have been shot down by now). Then you have superintelligent heroes and villains alike who are underground or actively publicly researching ways to improve our current technology either to contribute or to gain a profit (as has been done endlessly in the comics). Unless they are omnicidal maniacs, insane lunatics, or just having a bad day that they actually feel the need to KILL everybody they come across. Even with superpowers, do you really believe (unless they have insane durability and actually immune to bullets) that criminals would actually attempt to terrorize a major city or populace without retribution and get away with it as easily as they would in the comics?
