    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.
