Hero or villain?

If you have super powers, would you want to be a hero or villain? I believe that most of us will choose to be a hero. To fight what is right and good.
If you have the ability to make your self invisible, can you confidently say that you are going to use it for good and never evil?
If you are given the opportunity to do something bad without any consequences, without anyone knowing, would you do it? What will it be?

of course, i'd want to be a hero. you are right, everybody likes to be one. i've always been a low profile person, always staying in the sidelines and letting others shine, not wanting any attention on myself. but if i did something good and people will appreciate what i've done, i wouldn't mind beig put on the spotlight.
if i were invisible...hmmmm...i can't promise i won't be a bit naughty. ;)

You're right everybody wants to be a hero and just like you, if I were invisible I may do something naughty as well but not something that might hurt others. I can be really silly sometimes and I might use invisibility to play a trick on someone just for fun.

I would like to think that I would use my ability for good, but I know I would definitely be tempted to use my abilities for the wrong purposes as well.
Actually, maybe I'll be an anti-hero kind of like Wolverine :P

LoL. You're right, special powers could be really tempting...
Thanks for sharing.

I don't think I'd be a Hero, at least not going out to be one. I'd be like Wolverine, Blade, or Punisher, The Hulk, or the concepts that Anakin Skywalker probably felt. I'd probably be labeled a villain, as I'd actually use my powers, to kick in the heads of the @$$es running things. "Why the L do you need to dog out the working class? Send jobs overseas? Charge insane amounts for gas? Since you obviously don't care about the goodness of humanity, what good are you?"

I guess only a select few would want to be a villain on purpose, but as Uncle Ben said, "With great power comes great responsibility." Sometimes, even though we want to be heroes, we get overcome by our own wants so sometimes we end up doing the wrong thing.
As for me, I also want to be a hero. I want to help those people on the streets.
If I were to be given invisibility, maybe like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak, I can't promise that I'll be using it purely for good. Sure yeah I can say right now that okay, I promise to use it only for good. But I may get weak in the future and maybe hop on a plane to go somewhere like maybe Paris because I've always wanted to go there but it's too expensive.

I only wish for one superpower and that is flight. I'd probably become an antihero. I don't think I have the all the traits of a hero. I'd definitely use my powers for personal gain (C'mon guys, who wouldn't? Unless you're a saint haha) but not totally abuse it. I just fly to go to places faster, or go to other countries w/o paying airfare, or go to places I haven't been to.

It is all a point of view. I wold combat the evil, killing the criminals. Some peoples will see me like an vilan, becaus I'm killing peoples, and others will see me like a hero, cuz I'm killing bad guys.

i would be a hero because i have a good heart..lol.However,i doubt that i would like the power of invisibility because i don't see a purpose of having such power.What can we do with invisibility to help other? Invisibility power only can help yourself,no ? like running away from trouble ,escaping from kidnapper ..Let your imagination run wild later .Come back to your question,i might do something bad but no evil (wouldn't harm other for sure).For example..sneak in the cinema to watch free movie will be good eh..haha

I'd like to be someone like Nikki who is wrestling with both her heroic and villainous side. Why? Just because being a hero has too many pressures to do the right thing and I'd just like to be mischievous sometimes. For instance, like your question on invisibility, I'd probably try to use it for good but I have to admit that using it to spy on my husband's activities, for instance, can be quite tempting. I prefer to be a hero without pressures...is that possible?
