Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window.

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?

That is actually wrong. Countries with death penalty and free weapon carrying show that both assertions are wrong.
If course you need the power to commit a crime in order to commit it. But most people who have the power don't commit crimes.
Society didn't appear out of nowhere. And crimes are a much more complex matter than "can I do it without consequences"
Countries with free weapon carrying show what exactly? A few hundred dead school kids asking.
80 million people in the USA own weapons but only a tiny percentage commit crimes with them. Seems like that proves most people are not mad villains
Obviously not all of them, just like not every single person would abuse superpowers. But the numbers are still orders of magnitude higher than everywhere without weapons, even though shooting someone still has consequences unlike doing shit while invisible.
