Pretty much the title. I've been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality.
I think it's easy for us normies to respect other people and their property because there are clear consequences for violating social norms. But what would the average person do if they had super powers?

Not really.
Rob a bank? Thanks to serial numbers they can tell it's you who is using the money.
Steal from your neighbor? Same deal. Someone will notice.
It's all risks and consequences. Most big acts of "evil" still have those risks and consequences even if you can stop time or whatever else. And your ability is going to be worth so much fuck you money to scientific and other use cases that you really won't have reason to steal or whatever.
You're thinking too small. Why steal money when you could just steal the thing you'd be buying with the money? Why steal from your neighbor when you could steal from a megacorporation that won't know it's you?
Steal gold bars, smelt gold, sell gold.
Since when do cashiers actually look at serial numbers on dollars?
Money gets around and the government has a history of nailing people in unexpected ways.
Yeah money gets around, which means once you exchange it, it loses all connection to you. Merchants don't track serial numbers, and there's no guarantee those bills will be picked up in the next deposit to the bank.
That's why banks use dye packs, because once it's gone there's no actual way to track it. If there were, they wouldn't use dye packs...
