Seriously the debates over it get pretty ridiculous, it's a relatively modest disadvantage (only -10 points after all) intended as a virtue for characters who obey a superhero code. If you are playing it as something totally crippling that forces a character to do evil things, it's completely obvious you've missed the point.

It's a 20 point Disadvantage that comes bundled with a 10 point Reputation. As such, the Disadvantage part is more severe than Pacifism: Cannot Kill or Vow (Never Use Weapons).
