Worst things heroes have ever done?
Ok so whats the worst thing your favorite hero has ever done?
I don't mean when they were brain washed, mind controlled, influenced by red kryptonite, parasites or anything of that nature. But whats the worst things done by some of the heroes in comics, completely of their own free will intent and choosing?
Things heroes have done that they honestly have no excuse or scapegoat for!
Technically, Soarin' Norrin did make a choice to become Big G's herald. It may've saved his civilization, but it condemned countless others to death. And he knew that, making his choice.
So much for the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few (a sentiment, BTW, which did not originate with Star Trek).

You've got the right idea though and I'm not saying your wrong jus wanted to mention that point as well

Cap(Steve)- Tough one, Cap doesn't give me much to work with. There was the time he flipped out because he got caught in a meth lab explosion that made him tweek out and beat the bejesus out of Black Widow and Diamondback.
Surfer- The one thing that really leaps to mind here is when Surfer encountered a being that absorbed anything organic that came into contact with it so Surfer took it off into space. The bad though, is that the absorbed beings retained their sentience and were so afraid and in such constant pain that they begged Surfer to just destroy them rather than leave them stranded alone on a barren planet... but Surfer wouldn't. He just left them there as they were stranded on that planet because he was going through one of his big "all life is precious and shouldn't be taken" episodes. If that had been the first Surfer comic I'd ever gotten there probably wouldn't have been a second. I mean what a dick move...
Originally posted by EntityI don't rightly remember. It doesn't strike a chord, being that Galactus distinctly requires planets with life-force. But I could be wrong.

Pym made Ultron.
You know now that I think about it, I think the world should just go ahead and recognize Pym as a villain. The guy's been responsible for causing the Avengers more grief than Magneto(maybe even Loki) overall, they need to just toss his ass in a ward for the criminally insane and be done with it before gets everybody killed.
And he's a wife beater...
John Stewart in Cosmic Odyssey, getting so over-confident in his GL abilities that he pushes J'onn to the side and goes to capture part of the anti-life equation himself on Xanshi. The aspect is ready for him with a detonation machine painted yellow, and the planet (plus the whole system) is destroyed.
A caveat: If John was acting out of character that series, that's probably because Jim Starlin had originally wanted Guy Gardner as the GL involved. Such arrogant recklessness would have been more like him in the late 1980's.
