The question I tend to bring to this issue is "Would the WSC tolerate a genuinely good person as head of SHIELD?" I absolutely realize that this is an apologist position, because I have a tendency of trying to find good both in the characters and in the writers who set them up. But I also think it's a potentially valid argument--if the Tesseract did corrupt him, I do not believe it was the first thing to do so. Power corrupts, and even more, power attracts the corruptible. I have serious doubts about whether it would be possible for a good man to beat the evil men trying for the job without trading at least half of his soul for expedience and firepower along the way.
