Second Chances
 
Are there any heroes you can imagine turning bad for a while?
Before the New 52, Piper was handcuffed due to the Trickster and ended up being outed and going good.
Max Lord
Injustice League, Justice League Antartica
Current JLA and Luthor.  Outside of Major Disaster (pre-Flashpoint), has any villain ever turned hero and not gone back to being a villain?
In the past, Batman and the Flash have had the most villain-turned-hero stories, other than Pied Piper, Clayface, and Riddler, have there been any other villains that have been good for a long time?
What minor villain do you think would be the most interesting to see reform into a hero?
