Villian or Hero?

Hmm. I'm not sure what you'd call what I'd be if I were to have super-powers. I would make it my mission to prevent the collateral damage so commonly caused by the typical super-fight. Preferably, my powers would be something along the lines of creating variably-sized Otiluke's Resiliant spheres, or pocket universes in which super-fights could be...fought...without risk of collateral damage. After establishing my skill in the area of damage-prevention, I would (attempt to) strike a deal with insurance companies, in which I would be paid a flat fee for preventing a super-fight in the area of that company's clients, for each building which might reasonably have sustained damage.(I would get nothing in the event that a building were damaged before I intervened) This fee would be less than the amount they would have had to pay if their clients' property had been destroyed.

Also, depending on the exact nature of my powers, I would accept contracts from superheros/villains wishing to set up a fight pre-designed to their liking, but I would be sure to establish a reputation for being able to defend myself, so as to prevent schemes to exploit my powers without paying me.

So yeah, I guess I'd be a super-opportunist. Unless I felt like doing something different that day. Whatever.
