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?
Oh, so you are going with the whole "I am not a selfish idiot" response... respect.
Well, not a selish idiot, that's the trouble.
If I could think of a way to become comfortably well-off without eitehr getting in trouble or living in crippling anxiety that I was going to get in trouble, that might be another story.
It's just that getting away with shit is for rich people with powerful connections, and bootstrapping into that state without passing through an uninsulated trouble phase is pretty damn nontrivial. They don't let just anyone into the club, and they stomp anyone who dares to try.
I don't actually know about the international-super-assassin club, but I'm willing to bet it's either a fair bit more porous, or a lot more discreet, to the point that you never have reason to suspect they're onto you.
Maybe wait around the lottery office for someone with a good winning ticket and swap them when they go to turn it in, seems pretty risk free if you can freeze time
