You could just pop in and look around - no one would ever need to know, right? Looking for hidden Christmas presents, checking out Area 51, maybe taking a visit to a bank vault. boundaries would certainly start to get blurred when they no longer exist for you. Have you ever been to one of those buildings where the room you want is down a maze of hallways with twists and turns? Or heck, even in a maze? Wouldn't it be easier to skip all that? And then there's the temptation to see what's behind any locked door given your lack of limitations, that desire would weigh heavily upon you. It'd just be so much easier to walk into a building through a wall or teleport to the spot you need to be. And sure, you want to be a good person and follow the rules, respecting privacy and boundaries and such, but just like the Vision in Age of Ultron, the idea of using a door might get a little old after a while when there's no real borders in your world. Walls mean nothing when you can pass right through them, after all. The whole world is literally laid out before you because there's basically no place you can't go. Imagine being an X-Man like Kitty Pryde or Nightcrawler.
#TVTROPES SUPERPOWERED EVIL SIDE FULL#
In a real world setting, with no other superheroes around, or supervillains, just you and these powers, it would be awfully hard to never, ever let the power go to your head, and maybe every once in a while use it for something nefarious. We're not even talking full on evil. We're not saying you'd necessarily become a supervillain if you had any of these powers, but we're also not saying you'd become a bastion of righteous order and justice, either. Sure, they'd be awesome and fun, but do you think you'd have the character and strength of will to only do good with them? Let's be real here, most of us would probably perish within the first 10 minutes of having superpowers! Or even worse, we might turn to the dark side! But we don’t often like to let reality get in the way of that fantasy, because if you really start thinking about it, a lot of super powers have some very dark sides to them. There are a ton of upsides to all kinds of great powers – just imagine the freedom of flying, or the thrill of being able to read minds.
