It would be a badass power in comic book or story written by one person or maybe two or three people. But in roleplays, people sometimes strive to "win". We just try to avoid that by imposing certain restrictions on everyone. It's not that there's bias against or for people, we just can't take sides. And if there's going to be a sociopath in the roleplay, I would want them to be played very well, otherwise it's a no go. It is a touchy subject and it can be hard to find the balance - you could accidentally venture into psychopath or generally aloof territory.
