          I mean just the first episode of Invincible shows him absolutely destroying an old woman because he doesn’t have a handle on his powers yet. And then later he finds out she didn’t make it and he almost quit being a superhero because of it.

      But even in The Boys it’s just the bad guys doing that.

      The dark reality is that the good guys need to watch themselves too.

          The “good” Supes also occasionally have to deal with collateral damage they cause

          spoiler

          Like Starlight accidentally blinding a bystander when stopping a robbery, which then comes back to haunt her

            That was such a bullshit copout. Like, yeah she blinded someone, which is horrible in its own right, but in the story if Starlight hadn’t acted then the woman would have been dead instead of blind. I’d take that trade any day.

        Super Crooks has this, iirc there’s even a comment at one point about the heroes having a bigger body count than the villains.
