> If you were invisible, do you think you would use your power for good or for evil?
Well, neither, probably. I wouldn't go around fighting crime, but I sure wouldn't do what Bacon did in that movie.
> Do you think that even a good person would snap under the pressure of having such an ability?
What pressure? (note that I'm not trying to affect a mocking tone here.) 'Gee, I can turn myself invisible. That's a huge power. What to do, what to do...' I honestly wouldn't feel much pressure. Aside from stealing groceries and hiding in locker rooms, I can't think of many interesting things to do with invisibility.
> Does absolute power corrupt absolutely?
Nope. People don't want to create evil and pain inherently-- you need to be damaged in some way. If a person had a strong moral foundation, I doubt that they would lose their mind.
