Have you read Firefight? It does a good job of pointing out why people with powers in Steelheart act how they do. (I haven't read Worm but it is on my reading list.)

It's less the "why do they act that way", more "if you had this superpower, what kind of really weird but powerful stuff could you do with it".

Worm is full of people using superpowers in really inventive ways, in a way that Steelheart/Firefight aren't.
