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?

    This is actually one of the things I would wish for if I had a magic lamp.

    1. The ability to grant or take away perfect immortality to any living thing.
    2. To be the most intelligent human to ever exist (so far)
    3. The ability to see any point in space and time.

    You’re right that it would likely have psychological ramifications (probably end up like Brandon Stark from GOT). But it would be fun for a couple thousand years.
