To be honest, I think I'd probably become a super villain for a while. Then grow tired of it and start trying to help people.
Look at Bill Gates. "World's Richest Man" (super power of economic amazing-ness)
At first (and as part of Microsoft) he did all sorts of horrible things (according to the general Slashdot population... all sorts of we hate Bill Gates sentiment on here. Even a photoshopped photo of him as a Borg). Compare to today, the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation has taken on the task of completely eliminating malaria from the world & improving american education.
Bill has teamed up with Warren Buffet and other Bajillionaires to "Pledge to give away the vast majority of their fortunes"
Of course it remains to be seen if their hopes for the follow through is as solid as the words behind it... but the hope is there.
Villian to Superhero.
What about Mark Zuckerberg? $100 Million to Education. Sure, there's a douchebag past
