The High Evolutionary often justifies his actions, even those that cause harm or violate individual rights, by claiming they serve the greater good of evolutionary progress. This 'ends justify the means' philosophy is a recurring theme throughout his history.

His manipulation of evolution and creation of new life forms raise profound ethical questions about the role of humanity in the natural order. He repeatedly crosses the line of playing God, often with disastrous results.

Despite his grand ambitions, the High Evolutionary experiences moments of doubt and regret, particularly when his experiments go awry or cause unintended suffering. These moments reveal the inherent contradictions in his character.

Though he typically returns to old habits, he occasionally modifies his methods based on the outcomes of previous experiments, demonstrating an awareness of the ethical implications of his actions.

The High Evolutionary's constant drive to achieve evolutionary perfection is the root of his ethical dilemmas. His unwavering commitment to this goal blinds him to the consequences of his actions and the value of individual autonomy.
