I shouldn’t have a superpower.  I say this because I am fairly certain I would abuse my superpower.  My XY tried to reassure me.  “You’d be a benevolent dictator,” he said.

Sure, that’s what all the dictators say.

I would point out a corollary to the "absolute power corrupts absolutely" quote: "the corrupt seek power." It goes both ways. Some of those in charge are in charge because they were corrupt in the first place
