Does/Should Doing bad things count as Super Natural Willpower?

I was just thinking about it.

Using a common example.

If a character gets Tortured and Still manages to stay sane or survive they often get gifted Super Natural Willpower.

but what about the ones doing the torture?

After all, just thinking about it now I could never Torture someone or do bad things for no reason.

And I doubt you guys could too... right?... R-Right guys!?

So assuming a character isn't A socio/Psychopath, Insane or something else that would affect their empathy.

Does doing bad things count as Super Natural Will and if not should it?
 
No, that's just being evil, we couldn't because no one here is evil and devoid of morals or decency to do so.

Supernatural willpower is having enough determination to do improbable stuff, like powering through lethal wounds or piloting your dead body, etc

Exactly! That's what I'm saying is that It would take Willpower to strip yourself of such Morals and destroy yourself as a human willingly.

No?

Yes and no, even assuming they aren't just psychopaths, it would still be normal willpower, not supernatural.

Supernatural willpower is not just having a lot of it, Is doing weird stuff due to it.

Although some characters can be considered to have a great will to achieve their goals or give their all in a fight, characters that have a willpower on this level can go vastly beyond what should logically be possible for them, with more extreme cases being able to oppose natural phenomena such as death.

Stuff like that usually happens overtime, like a character arc where they become evil due to specific circumstances. You might say that a single bad day can cause someone to become a bad person all of a sudden, but there was definitely a catalyst that pushed them to the edge long ago.

Supernatural Willpower feats are often done in a short amount of time in the context of doing things with great difficulty. Which is the opposite of what I just mentioned.
