* Conversed in ''LightNovel/CheatMagicianLifeThatStartedFromBeingJudgedUseless''. Kento manages to corner Princess Camilla Resenberg and puts forward negotiations for dealing with the fact that Camilla unilaterally summoned, enslaved, and abused 201 8th grade students and some teachers, including Kento himself. When Kento gets to the part about everyone being repatriated back to their homeworld, Camilla points out ''why'' the class was treated so horribly. Turns out the royal family has the official history of other-world summoners and with 100% certainty, the summoned ultimately turn out to be far, far worse than whatever it is they were summoned to fight, [[WrittenByTheWinners at least if the official history is to be believed.]]

* ''Manga/{{Beastars}}'': Carnivores in the setting are all freakishly strong compared to herbivores, and they typically come with other superior physical attributes like the ability to see in the dark. They also have the tendency to kill and eat herbivores. Tragically, this inclination only exists ''because'' Herbivores are so afraid of them. Most carnivores' natural inclination is actually to ''protect'' herbivores. But because the consumption of meat is illegal in their society, they're forced to live their lives getting what little nutrients they can out of egg sandwiches and tofu, so even when their bellies are full they're ''always'' starving.

** That said, Goku isn't like Superman, he's often apathetic to those around him, not caring how many people will die if he spares the OmnicidalManiac he's fighting, and he even revived one of those villains himself once, and ''let him run free with no intention of stopping him.'' He values fighting tournaments over whether or not whole universes die, roping a whole multiverse into a death tournament without a second thought, and not thinking anything of it when he's called out on it. With that in mind, it comes off like he fits this trope more than Superman does, the world of Dragon Ball is essentially at the mercy of a selfish manchild with no regard the consequences of his actions. [[FridgeHorror And he can't be stopped, because he keeps getting stronger.]]

* Paptimus Scirocco from ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'' is a Newtype supremacist who wishes to eliminate all mundanes.
** The sole Newtype in Manga/MobileSuitGundamThunderbolt is the BigBad High Priest Levan Fuu, the leader of a extremist Buddhist cult who uses his psychic powers to brainwash people into becoming his followers as he believes himself to be the ChosenOne destined to guide humanity to eternal peace through religion...and terrorism.
* In ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'' several belligerents use Newtypes to enhance their weapons and one side even uses Newtypes' existence to justify a racial/cultural supremacy ideology. Most of the existing Newtypes are reasonably nice people, but their existence has made the world a more warlike place. It is also implied people are less likely to look for solutions to the problems of war and conflict [[HoldingOutForAHero because they expect Newtypes to resolve them.]]
* Geass users in ''Anime/CodeGeass'' might qualify if not for the fact that regular, non-geass-possessing individuals are still responsible for most of the world's woes anyway; it's just that pretty much everyone with a Geass tends to add even more misery on top of that.

* In ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' part of the package deal that makes you into a [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual Contractor]] is a loss of emotions and conscience: All Contractors are, per definition, sociopaths. But they're also ''[[TheSpock rational]]'' sociopaths and can thus see the inherent futility in trying to use their powers to TakeOverTheWorld. That said, the world is most definitively worse off for their appearance, especially what with all the wars that are being fought with Contractors as human weapons.
* In the three part [[{{Ecchi}} soft-core manga,]] ''Manga/DontMeddleWithMyDaughter'', the superheroine [[SupermanSubstitute Eighth Wonder,]] and her daughter, [[LegacyCharacter the new Eighth Wonder]], are the most powerful members of [[GovernmentAgencyOfFiction the agency]] [[FunWithAcronyms N.U.D.E.]], and the other members worry that "if Eighth Wonder loses control, [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt it'll be the end of the world."]]
** In the second volume, the new Eighth Wonder falls victim to a [[HypnoTrinket mind control device]] and goes on a rampage damaging the city she lives in. She then attacks [=N.U.D.E.=] headquarters, and corners the staff in a reinforced bunker. The only reason she didn't burst in and kill them all was because her mother, the original Eighth Wonder, intervened, and after their fight demolished most of the base, the original ends it by putting her daughter over her knee and giving her a spanking.
* ''Franchise/DragonBall'' has brave, selfless martial artists like Goku. It also has Frieza and his evil family, supremely powerful mutants who use their power to run an interstellar syndicate and slaughter billions of innocent people, and the gene-optimized murderer Cell that doesn't even bother trying to empathize with those he consumes to become stronger or, later, tortures and kills for no reason other than his amusement. [[TheSociopath And that's to say]] [[EldritchAbomination nothing of]] [[{{Sadist}} Super Buu]].
** ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' provides a perfect example with Goku Black, Goku's EvilCounterpart and the BigBad of the Future Trunks Saga, who's essentially a chilling [[TheSociopath psychopath]] with all Goku's power at his disposal. [[spoiler:And this is before the revelation that Goku Black is actually an alternate timeline version of the Supreme Kai-in-training Zamasu in that timeline's Goku's body.]]
** Beerus states that this trope is exactly why Zeno is so feared. Because of [[GuardianOfTheMultiverse his power and authority]], no one is willing to go against him. He can casually and innocently threaten people with CessationOfExistence just to get them to [[PsychopathicManchild play with him]], and since no one is willing to tell him why it's wrong, [[LackOfEmpathy he never understands why it's wrong to do so]].
** ''Anime/DragonBallZBrolyTheLegendarySuperSaiyan'': Broly was born with an overwhelming {{Power Level|s}} of 10,000, and King Vegeta, fearing the threat the newborn might pose to his empire, ordered his execution. As Broly gets older, he gleefully destroys entire planets and punches out his father's left eye when he tried to stop him, forcing Paragus to slap a PowerLimiter on him.
* Most of the Huckebein from ''Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce'' are "just" {{Smug Super}}s proud of their seemingly flawless AntiMagic, but their more vicious members like Cypha go straight into this.
* ''Manga/SorcererHunters'' has a magical version where the 'supermen' in question come in the form of Sorcerers who for most part, make life very miserable for the [[{{Muggles}} Parsoners]] who live on Spooner. It's even stated that the Sorcerers are treated as nobility as a way to keep them under control (with the eponymous Sorcerer Hunters as a stick to go along with the carrot).
* ''Manga/{{Akira}}'': Tetsuo fits the trope, with a healthy amount of WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity.
* ''Manga/FairyTail'' has about 10% of the population able to work magic but so far we have not seen on screen magically powerful despots.

** Not to mention the fact that the only people who can stand against them are cutthroat, coldblooded investigators who are, when push comes to shove, not that different at all. The rest of the world just gets caught in the crossfire.
* In ''Manga/HunterXHunter'', while there are a large amount of Nen-enabled fighters who genuinely want to do good for the world, there are just as many, if not more, of those who gain these superpowers and use them purely for personal gain. Most of the ''really'' powerful ones see themselves as above anyone who cannot give them a good fight and casually mass-murder {{Muggles}} and less powerful combatants for trivial reasons like chasing after people, stealing valuables, or simply out of being in a bad mood. These mass deaths are so common that everyone, even the muggles, see them as no big deal and the survivors simply moving on as soon as the danger has passed.
* The first users of Psychokinesis in ''Literature/FromTheNewWorld'', who [[spoiler: brought about the end of the modern age]] when they abused their near-limitless power for indiscriminate violence and [[spoiler:governments tried and failed to contain them with military force, then with nuclear weapons]].
* Downplayed in ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''.

* PlayedForLaughs in ''Manga/LoveHina'': The ''Shinmei-ryū'' style of kendo was created specifically for protection and DemonSlaying. Motoko Aoyama, the heir to the school, is a borderline AxCrazy girl with a HairTriggerTemper who uses these skills to assault anyone who even ''slightly'' irritates her, dealing a lot of AmusingInjuries.
* ''Manga/{{Inuyashiki}}'' is a story about two people, an old man named Ichiro Inuyashiki and a teenager named Hiro Shishigami, who gain superpowers from a UFO crash. While Inuyashiki decides to use his powers to help people, Shishigami becomes a superpowered SerialKiller.
* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
** In the backstory, when Quirks first appeared, normal humans were terrified and demanded strict limits be placed on what they were allowed to do. While by the time of the story [[EveryoneIsASuper 80% of the population have Quirks]], it's made clear that they weren't wrong to do this. Villains cause major disruptions on a daily basis, and All For One is simply [[FromNobodyToNightmare a random man who decided to use his power to hurt and manipulate everyone around him]].
** ''Manga/MyHeroAcademiaVigilantes'': Number Six mentions that this is why All Might adheres so strongly to VillainsActHeroesReact. He is the strongest in the world by a huge margin--if he was more proactive, he could annihilate crime. But even if his judgment was absolutely perfect, it wouldn't take long for people to worry that he might come after them next. By acting only to keep people safe, everyone loves him, but it means he's not as effective as he could be.
* In the world of ''Manga/TalentlessNana'', superpowered individuals called "The Talented" suddenly started being born. They had incredible powers such as control over the elements, the ability to manipulate time and space, and even predict the future--there seemed to be no limit to what they could do.

[[spoiler:In truth, the government is just quarantining them to be exterminated, doing whatever it takes to prevent another Talented-induced catastrophe ever again.]]
** [[spoiler:Later in the story, we discover that Nana's handler is an unrepentant TheCorruptor who ruined Nana's life and intentionally turned her into a SerialKiller ''for sport'', then took one of her Talented victims and turned him into a murderous supervillain. It's implied that the government in general also doesn't actually care about Talented supremacy, just the uncontrollable threats to their regime.]] Beware The Superman ''being used by The Batman''.
* In ''LightNovel/AkashicRecordsOfBastardMagicInstructor'', criminal mages freely do things like human experimentation and demon summoning, and there's little that non-mages can do to stop them. [[spoiler:Glenn]]'s previous role as a MageKiller involved dealing with such mages.
