Part of the problem is that when authors decide to turn a hero evil, they try to do it in a way that still preserves some sympathy for the character, which is why we see this plot over and over again: loved one or ones of hero are killed, driving hero into madness and despair that turns him evil.

Realistically, people usually turn evil by making a series of compromises with themselves and giving into temptation, a little at a time. Of all the times in comics when a hero has turned evil, how often has it been because a criminal offered that hero a bribe to look the other way?

Yet which would be more likely to happen in real life?
