Unknown: of course it would make a difference, just as my behavior would be different if I had billions of dollars rather than next to nothing or if I were immortal rather than mortal. It doesn’t have anything to do with “morality” though.
For example, if I had the power of invisibility (and immateriality) and were able to plant a listening device in the oval office with no chance of getting caught, I would do it in order to publicly expose the lies and manipulations of the Bush administration and give proof of the willful stupidity and rampant dishonesty that many of his former administration have stated they witnessed daily—not because I think there is some objective code of morality that they violate but because I think the world would be a better place if their lies were exposed and such people did not have such power. (Note: I don’t think it would be a better place in anything like an objective sense: that is just my personal preference, and if I had the power to make it so, I would.)
(Hello, NSA: this is all purely fictional, of course.)
