I mean, if you're a thrillseeker in the first place, maybe. But if you're a good person when you get powers, you're not suddenly going to go bad once you have them, right? So doesn't it make sense that at least some people would get them and figure that the best thing they can do with them is help other people?

As much as people with powers might try and run away from the fact, it gets, um, pretty obvious once bad things start to happen that you have a choice to make.
