[ WP ] I superhero who finds out at the the end that he was the villain the whole time and most decide what to do after making this realization .

To be honest, it's almost a relief. Actually, it's more than that; I feel, from the minute he sneers, licks a line of blood off his upper lip, and says, `` You're not the hero, David. *I'm* the hero,'' like I can finally be done pretending. 
 
 Being the hero - *trying to be the hero* - was always a chore. In hindsight, it seems so obvious that it was something I was never supposed to do, never even capable of doing. I have felt, ever since I was very, very small, that I was trying to mold myself into somebody that I could never be. I did n't have the moral fortitude. 
 
 Heroes are the people who never hesitated to do the right thing. Hell, most of the time, they are n't even aware that there's any other option. I've never been like that. I have always been inclined to give into my... darker tendencies. When there's a cat stuck in a tree, my knee-jerk reaction is to wait and watch to see how long before it falls to the ground and expires. When there's a damsel-in-distress, I always want to say, `` What'll you give me if I save you?'' 
 
 So it makes sense that I'm not a hero, so much sense that I ca n't believe I did n't realize it earlier. My arch nemesis is looking at me like he thinks I'm going to be absolutely devastated that I am not the good guy, and I am only thinking about ways in which I can use that to my advantage, use that to outsmart him, or to beat him, or to kill him. 
 
 If that's not proof that I'm the bad guy, I do n't know what is.
