User blog comment:ElementQueen/Hero or Villian? Which would you choose? Why?/@comment-3419031-20130528071247/@comment-4867780-20130528092019

If you're sufficiently overpowered, then upholding heroic standards is no problem at all. You then get the best of both worlds : you're worshipped by the population, you get all the cuties, and you have tons of privileges from both government agencies (as a reward) and private societies (for the publicity). And all that for the best of reasons ! That's the kind of character I'd really want to be : the "always win" type of hero ^ ^

All in all, it's not so much about morality than it's about power. If you have enough jokers up your sleeve, the dark sides loses all its appeal. Provided with enough guaranties, anyone would choose to be a hero.
