If you want to be above the law, a simple superpower or two won't get you that. If you keep going against the law, soon enough the whole CIA and FBI will be plotting against you to assassinate you, and they'll have funding from every single person who hates your guts. If humanity can come together to put a person on the moon, then they can come together to kill a superhero.
If you want to be above the law, what you need is the might, charisma, and intelligence to keep humanity from uniting against you. This means taking the major powers of humanity and plotting them against each other. If they're too distracted fighting each other they're less likely to unite and target you. If humanity is corrupt enough, this should be relatively easy. Corrupt people will gladly do things which are a detriment to society as a whole, in the name of a little money, even if they are in the dark about what's going on planet-wide.
