[But how can he be sure? He can't pretend he's never had the occasional vengeful thought, never considered using his powers for greed, for fame, for his personal feelings. Those are the ugly things inside him bubbling to the surface, trying to convince him that because he was wronged, it's okay to wrong others.

I don't think... anyone starts out bad. I don't think anyone starts out good, either. I think it's possible for anyone to get consumed by their demons, or to overcome them.
So... I try to focus on what's good, and not think too much about the bad. And let my friends guide me when I might be wrong.
We've made our share of mistakes. [They got far to wrapped up in the fame, in their own self-righteousness, there for awhile, and it backfired on them.] I'll probably make a lot more. But... I'm not scared. Not of that, anyway.
[He's more scared that he can't stop anyone else's demons from consuming them.]
