Maintaining your secret identity

Clearly the answer is to first preemptively topple your own government, then make sure the new administration knows it was you and you can do it to them too. Then just make an agreement with them to look the other way, not to keep tabs on you and to prevent foreign powers from doing so.

I'm half-joking here...

Based on the wisdom of Benjamin Franklin and Johnathan Swift, the most perfect solution is:

Kill everyone else.

Except for that pesky compulsion to do good.

A thought occurred to me as I made that initial post.

What if…every major extinction on the planet was due to some being who gained extraordinary powers and lost their temper, killing in a fit of blind rage. Then they spent the next few million years trying to atone…until they did it again.

The last time they acted out like this, they reined it in a bit, and only caused The Great Flood.*
