Poll What type of character are you: "With great power comes great responsibility or opportunity"? (31 votes)

Option A: My own character fits "With great power comes great responsibility" 23%
Option B: My own character fits "With great power comes great opportunity" 23%
Option C: My own character has a largely equal mix of these two traits 55%
Option D: I don't know my own character well enough to comment 0%

Wondering about Comicvine users' true character in real-life and comparing them with a comic book character, namely Spiderman.

Spiderman said that with great power comes great responsibility. Some disagreed. Others agreed.

READ THIS

In real life, when you have some form of authority (Leader of a project or operations, or is given enough power/knowledge to have a political advantage over others), or possess some form of skill/talent that few others around your social circles had (E.g.: You are good at software programming when other people around you do not), how do you act?

Option A: Do you tend to make use of your empowerment/skills to either help others, or to get your assigned job done quickly?

Option B: Do you tend to make use of your empowerment/skills to either further empower yourself, seek benefits, or simply to look after yourself?

Option C: Do you tend to make use of your empowerment/skills to help both yourself and others (Basically, do both Option A and Option B)?

Option D: You have no empowerment/skill to have any of these experience in the first place.

Discuss! Talk about what you do in real life, without necessarily exposing your privacy.

a mix of the two. It's irresponsible to be 100% like peter, do things completely alone, not take care of yourself as well, you can't fight at 100% if you are sleeping on rooftops because you are homeless because you keep missing work to do things regular cops can.


As much as I disliked Spock he had balance, if he wasn't such a sociopath he may have been the perfect blend. From a story stand point though I can see why people would hate him

Probably C, leaning toward B.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely... yes, if given superpowers, I would seek power and control.

I'm an option A sort of person. I tend to use my abilities to help my friends whenever I can, as well as the occasional stranger. Given superpowers I see myself keeping true to this core personality trait of mine.

That being said, I don't view it as a responsibility. I view it as an opportunity to help others, as for the most part I am often disappointed by how little I can actually make a difference as I am. I want to help you because I enjoy being helpful, but that doesn't mean I HAVE to help you out of some moral obligation.
