      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.

        Super Crooks has this, iirc there’s even a comment at one point about the heroes having a bigger body count than the villains.

        spoiler

        Bro, the show opens with A-Train running through Huey’s girlfriend and turning her into flesh casserole. It’s the exposition to the main plot of the movie. They talk about how it happens all the time and they have a whole procedure for damage control. They introduce a support group for people hurt by supes, including a guy whose girlfriend accidentally froze his dick off during sex.

        I suppose there’s an argument that supes aren’t really “good guys”, but that traditional good vs. bad dichotomy isn’t really the point of the show.

          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

        Spoiler for the latest season and the spinoff

        They don’t mostly because they know the risk.

        In Gen V, the main character gets her powers by accidentally killing her parents.

        And in the latest season, Huey’s dad kills a bunch of patients because of his confusion due to dementia.
