Humans needs to fail.
If you fix every fail they could do they will never grow up as a species. They would be like ants in an ant farm whose feeder keeps giving them food and already homes so they don't have to work.
You make them unable to grow up, unable to realize what's wrong and right if you monitorize every aspect of their life.
All Powerfull gods should fights enemies humanity can't fight alone, aliens, monsters, tsunamis.
If an OP guy stops wars to happening the humans will never have free will to do right and wrong but just a god that makes them his toys.
Nicholas Williams
I feel like the only character who could actually fix everything are magic users
the problem with an ultra-powerful superhero is that they'd have to force the government and people to change, and no one wants to be told how to live
a powerful enough magic user however could alter reality so that the wider population believed they chose to change of their own free will
Brody Hill
Primer has the power to have all the powers. She doesn't fix the world because she is a girl and therefore only cares about herself
Jacob Barnes
Why can't she change the law so she can legally date her boyfriend?
Cooper Gomez
She has mind control powers, if she finds the right person she can on fact force them to change the laws.
Robert Richardson
Imagine the smell of her ball sweat
Dominic Carter
>grow up as a species
who cares
kill all the murderers, publicly disgrace all the corrupt politicians and corporations, you're 90% done with crime.

>they'd have to force the government and people to change, and no one wants to be told how to live
Easy sell. People, in general, are in love with power, so all they have to be told is that the powerful man is on the side of right and good (nazism, communism) and they'll buy it. Especially if the powerful man is ACTUALLY on the side of good (even if his methods are questionable)
Bentley Johnson
Because villains are always more powerful.
Kevin Thomas
How naive.
Jeremiah Smith
She has ACCESS to all the powers, but can only use 3 of the at a time, for a limited time.
Mason Scott
Cameron Long
Andrew Gutierrez
What about all the people who have different opinions on what 'right' and 'good' are?
Isaac Scott
Then your an edgy retarded little teenager trying to sound deep.

The estimate is that there are between 5% and 20% psychopaths in the population, obviously it's hard to tell and the percentage could be 100, but let's take the high estimate. You get rid of that population, and then a new generation grows up with less psychopath genes. Then you get rid of the psychopath population again, and so on and so forth.
How do you think dogs were made? Domesticated cattle? Nearly all the vegetables we eat? Artificial selection is a powerful tool and humanity doesn't have to "learn" anything by itself, you can simply cull the bad genes.

They follow anyway. See: nazism, communism. By the time people "wise up" the superhero will have already cleaned up most of the problems of human society.
Gavin Nguyen
Setting aside that your premise is false, how would you handle the logistics of an operation like that?
Anthony Miller
At least post canon naked Zatanna next time.
Based.
David Peterson
>your premise is false
The premise that organisms can be artificially selected into and out of certain traits is not false. The same way you can breed dogs to be docile and corn to be more bountiful you can breed humans into and out of any trait they already possess.
>how would you handle the logistics of an operation like that?
The superhero will either have the psychic powers to tell who is a sociopath, or they will have super-senses allowing them to suss out the criminals, or they will rely on good old fashioned police work without due process so they can gather any evidence they want, so politicians and corporate executives can't hide behind due process.
Christian Baker
No, your premise is that it would solve things longterm
Sociopaths are not the only source of bad things happening in the world. Also what does your hero do in situations where bad things happen but no one is clearly in the wrong? Also does he have super-morals?
Aiden Stewart
>Sociopaths are not the only source of bad things happening in the world
I didn't say "all", but sociopathy is the dominant reason for crime and corruption.
>Also what does your hero do in situations where bad things happen but no one is clearly in the wrong?
Nothing, again this is not a 100% solution, it's a 90% solution. There will still be kids that kill their siblings out of innocent mistakes in games (like putting them in a fridge or something) and there will still be disasters caused by human error like household fires and whatnot. But the large-scale crime and corruption that currently infests human society will be gone within two generations.
>Also does he have super-morals?
No, morality is a social construct that exists in social animals that stems from the fairness principle ("tit-for-tat"). Morality is a method for social organization. It describes what is "fair" and so on. This super-creature will be more like The Matrix except pro-human. While The Matrix thought humans should be exterminated (but didn't exterminate them because it needed a power source... now there's a false premise if there ever was one...) this superhero would be like a gardener. They'd kill the weeds and cultivate the crops. Whether weeds are inherently "bad" and crops are inherently "good" is irrelevant.

life simply isn't fair
Justin Bell
There was huge resistance to nazism and communism only came to power is russia, china, north korea etc. After bloody civil wars
Camden Allen
Hm, ok, one more question. How do you decide who is a sociopath? It's not always obvious. Would you count a greedy CEO who treats employees horribly, does backhanded questionable buisness decisions all the time, causing people to lose income, but never does actual illegal shit as one?
Kevin Thompson
Jaxson Wood
>comic panels that could never exist today
Leo Rogers
>How do you decide who is a sociopath? It's not always obvious
Again, either the superhero has telepathic powers or super-senses that allows them to identify it, or good old fashioned police work.
>illegal shit
Again, there is no due process. Like Hitler eliminated Jews (hurr durr Hitler did nothing wrong) the superhero will eliminate sociopaths whether they "did something" or not. They will simply be cultivating the gene pool of the human race the same way humans cultivated the gene pool of maize or apples or dogs. It's not that big, juicy apples are inherently better than their wild ancestors, it's just that they've been cultivated for traits that the cultivator found desirable.
In this case, the traits to stamp out are impulsiveness and sociopathy which are very highly correlated with criminality.

Whether it's "good" or "moral" is irrelevant, it satisfies the demand of "fixing" the problem of crime in humanity.
Michael Ortiz
I never said the superhero will be nonviolent, just that people in general are in love with power so after a powerful dictatorship is instated they will conform. By the time resistance movements gather enough steam (two generations) the job will be done.
