So you wanna be a [[BigGood supremely good guy who is in control of other heroes]]? Here are the steps.

Now go out there, and be the good captain and leader of the good guys anywhere!

# You absolutely MUST be a badass, if you want to be the powerful good guy.

# Be a ''hero.'' This one should go without saying. If you [[TheAtoner started out as a evil person]] but [[HeelFaceTurn became good later on]], you ''damn'' well better do an impressive exercise in grade-a heroism, because even then it's a stretch to undo all those pesky, previous evil acts of yours (look to [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Uncle Iroh for inspiration]]).

# Be TheCape. Make sure that your ideals inspire many people to try to do right for the world and find joy in helping others.

# Be a ''{{hero|es}}.'' This one should go without saying. If you [[TheAtoner started out as a evil person]] but [[HeelFaceTurn became good later on]], you ''damn'' well better do an impressive exercise in grade-a heroism, because even then it's a stretch to undo all those pesky, previous evil acts of yours (look to [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Uncle Iroh for inspiration]]).

# Feeling that being a {{Jerkass}} gets in the way of helping others and being the force of good? Then try the JerkWithAHeartOfGold card! It helps that there is such goodness beneath a rough and rude exterior. [[Anime/JojosBizarreAdventure Jotaro Kujo]] is a good example of this rule.

# If you see TheWoobie or someone who undergone the BreakTheCutie moment, try to help them through their plight and become their source of their CharacterDevelopment.

# Remember what's most important to your subordinates; when you don't do everything you can to make sure everyone gets the best food or equipment, you practically ''invite'' the TheStarscream to start acting up.

# Be [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure very reasonable]]. If one of your members report to you in spite of his/her [[MilitaryMaverick ''antics'']]... try to [[BenevolentBoss back them up and remains supportive]] of them in any way you can.

# You absolutely MUST be a {{Badass}}, if you want to be the powerful good guy.

# Be [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure very reasonable]]. If one of your members report to you in spite of his/her [[MilitaryMaverick ''antics'']... try to [[BenevolentBoss back them up and remains supportive]] of them in any way you can.

# Be [[MessianicArchetype the Messiah]]. People would look to you for guidance and wisdom if you'd manage to sacrifice your well-being for the safety of many others.

# You don't have to be ''a'' leader to be [[TheLeader ''The'' Captain]]. Sometimes [[Franchise/MassEffect a Commander will suffice]].

# If you report to a [[DaChief boss]] who just happens to [[BenevolentBoss back you up and remains supportive]] of you, in spite of your [[MilitaryMaverick ''antics'']]....stay on his good side.

# You absolutely MUST be a {{Badass}}, if you want be the powerful good guy.

# BreakTheHaughty. Or better, make the former bad guys into heroes or your close allies after [[DefeatMeansFriendship defeating them.]]

# Love your KirkSummation and for extra oomph, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech tell the bad guys about why they always lose.]] Don't be swayed by [[ShutUpHannibal anyone's appeal for evil.]]

# You absolutely MUST be a {{Badass}}.
# Every once in a while, [[TenMinuteRetirement quit being the big guy(lady) in charge. Just for a little while]]. Besides getting a much needed vacation, your organization will see that [[ReplacementScrappy the new guy]] [[TyrantTakesTheHelm is nowhere near as good at the job as you are]] and they'll be thrilled when you come back.

# Remember what's most important to your subordinates; when you don't do everything you can to make sure everyone gets the best food or equipment, you practically ''invite'' the ReliableTraitor or TheStarscream to start acting up.

# You gotta [[IndyPloy think fast on your feet]].

Now go out there, and be the good captain and leader of the good guys anywhere!

# Never EVER [[LimitedAdvancementOpportunities accept a promotion]]. Remember, it's good to be TheCaptain. Keep the job as long as possible.

# [[AFatherToHisMen Treat your team like they're your own family]]. [[Franchise/Transformers Optimus Prime]] is a good role model to this.
