A genuinely good hero gets crushed by responsibility and slowly goes insane

Hal Jordan (Green Lantern): Civilian life in shambles, overworked superhero life, spiralling mental health for years and unable to cope with the fact that he was'nt able to save his city because he was on another mission, Hal loses his mind, literally trying to bring back the dead, killing the entire corp and later literally erasing space and time to rewrite the universe

Zero (To Be Hero X): Being the first hero of the world and being worshipped for being so since he was 10, Zero achieved Godhood as a 15 year old but ultimately the pressure got to him and he went mad at 17 and nearly caused the end of humanity.

Anakin was regarded as one of the greatest Jedi knights in the Clone Wars. After years of grooming by an evil space raisin he betrays his order and kills hundreds and many younglings.

Disagree. It isnt the responsibility of being the Chosen One, or his position in the Jedi Order that breaks him, its Palpatine grooming and manipulating him from childhood that tyrns him into Vader

Fair enough!
