The Ethics of Power

Write about a situation where a superhero uses his power for personal gain, violating their moral code.

Power comes with responsibility, and for superheroes, this often involves maintaining a high moral standard. What happens when they succumb to selfish motivations or human desires? This prompt encourages you to explore these potential ethical failings. Could this mark the start of a slippery slope? Or is it a single transgression quickly corrected? Discuss the impact this has on their character, their relationships, their reputation, and how it might change their approach to using their abilities in the future.
