It all goes back to the old saw that "power corrupts...". Marvel's Purple Man is a perfect example. His power NEVER turns off and I'm not sure I know anyone who could resist eventually misusing it after decades of having members of whatever gender attracts them being willing to do whatever was asked of them. And as we all know, little slips made without consequence eventually lead to bigger slips, all the way to ultimate corruption of morality, whether that morality is based on religion or something else. That doesn't mitigate the fact that it's used in such a manner so please, don't misinterpret me as condoning it in any way, I just understand how it could happen.
And yeah, the density of therapists in WC's world is probably a lot higher than in ours!
