The explosive mixture of charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur has many uses. Some can be used for good. Some for evil. The black powder itself is neither good nor evil.
A sword is not good or evil, it is the swordsman and how it is used that determines its actions.
Me? With absolute power, I'd goof off and have fun. But I wouldn't be corrupted as such; If I was given it for a certain job (Say, ensuring the survival of humanity), I'd work for that job... but nothing says I can't have fun once in a while with it, too. ^_^
Goofing off in a sinful fashion is called sloth. Imagine all the power in the world sufficient to stop people from starving and being too lazy to fix things. Are you still sure that absolute power wouldn't corrupt you?
