Power Corrupts

Your superhero’s nemesis used to be a good person. Write about the moment they succumbed to their negative desires and became a villain.

In many cases, the villain wasn’t always bad. This prompt challenges writers to create a turning point, a crucial moment when the character’s morality blurred, and they embraced their darker side. You could touch themes like corruption, temptation, despair, or the thirst for power, exploring how these factors can drive a good person to become a villain.
