How can one become a hero like Superman, a paragon of good, when their powers consist of; anything living thing that they touch for too long will begin to decay, their body produces a miasma of despair that can never be turned off, and small eldritch beings materialize around them when they fall asleep?

How would you write such a character to be a hero and stay a good, lawful hero?

Powers are not personality. A good person with horrifying powers is still a good person.

I would say writing him as good shouldn't be that hard I think making him a lawful character will probably most of the problems come from
Considering if it's a passive destructive power that he/she can't turn off

>>92381377
would actually be pretty cool.
>hero is aware of the horifying effects of his powers
>isolates himself from everyone
>still wants to help/save people
>shows up to fight crime then vanishes as soon as it's over
>nobody knows who the hero that silently watches over them is

just add in some SoL segments where the hero observes people's everyday life from a safe distance to help keep his loneliness and lack of human contact at bay.he's such a good guy he still manages to be happy just from seeing other happy and knowing he helps maintain said happiness and peace

Send them somewhere where only evil creatures exist, like Mordor.

How would Superman react to such a hero?
>>
>>92384701
Just remember in Reign of Doomsday he took pity on that crusty gray bastard when he thought the thing was showing remorse for his rampages

Assuming Mr. Decade here is legit lawful good Supes would treat him with respect
>>
>>92384701
If they're on the same power level, they'll probably meet while supes is having a bad day just as an excuse to duke it out.

Superman is a dick when he's in a mood, and it never turns out well for him, if he wins the fight there's some kind of concequence(Captain Marvel saying fuck you guys and going solo in JLU) or he goes in all "Dur de durr, I'm superman" and gets blindsided(Swamp Thing a few months ago)
>>
If they're truly heroic and good, they'll recognize the immediate and undeniable threat they pose to everything around them, and take steps to either disable their powers or quarantine themselves.
>>
Your terrible hygeine and constant farting is not a super power, anon, and the numerous parasites that live on or in your body are not eldritch entities although they do sneak out in the night.
Just, like, take a shower.

>in TLTS, Bugs is canonically both Batman and Superman

Undercover super hero.
A new tier of heroics, an infiltration specialist or saboteur.

Joins criminal organizations and gradually breaks them down by fucking up weapons and doomsday devices,lowering henchman moral and making people believe that the hideouts or layers are haunted by supernatural horrors.
>>
Sounds like Guts.

Just don't give a fuck bro, slay the demons
>>
Sounds like eldritch hazmat
>>
be a cop?

There's a similar character in Warren Ellis' Desolation Jones. No ones can tolerate being near her (some sort of pheromone thing) so she stay inside, deals with crushing lonliness and trades information.

Not exactly a superhero, but throw in some telepathic ability, and you could take that anywhere.
