History Main / SuperCop

** ''Manga/DominionTankPolice'' probably counts, since the heroes are cops... with TANKS. [[TankGoodness Really BIG tanks]], at that. And unlike the ''Patlabor'' dudes, these fellows DO move against any and all crime, with superior firepower through and through. Unfortunately for the city, they're also all [[CowboyCop Cowboy Cops]]... can you say 'Collateral Damage'?

*** To give a perspective, back in his solo series Jaco was the ''weakest and less competent of the patrol'', and yet could easily kick a giant container of rocket fuel at dozens of kilometers in the air ''without blowing it up''. Other members of the Patrol (among which there was a Namekian) were much more formidable.

* As of ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'' (and by extension, ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''), Krillin has joined the police force. Bear in mind that he is arguably the strongest Earthling, with enough ki to slice the planet in two, if not [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroy it outright]]. However, as he takes his job very seriously, he will only use the vehicles and equipment issued to him for their intended purposes, using his absurd power only as a last resort.

[[folder: Video Games ]]

* ''VideoGame/{{ESWAT}}''. Once your character achieves chief rank he gets a cyber suit with turbothrusters and armor.
* ''VideoGame/FutureCopLAPD'', where you play a heavily armed TransformingMecha fighting all kinds of criminals.
* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' features Blue Steel, MemeticBadass and the only major superhero who works directly for the police force. There are also cops in PowerArmour, cops with PsychicPowers and the Awakened division of alien symbiote-infused cops. There's also nothing stopping player character concepts from being cops.
* You play one in ''VideoGame/{{Crackdown}}''. [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential Morality optional]].
* Konoko from ''VideoGame/{{Oni}}''. [[spoiler: Helps that she was secretly bred to be a [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]] capable of handling anything the Syndicate could field.]]
* A rare glitch in [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity GTA: Vice City]] would sometimes render a single random Police Officer invincible, there were also rumors that he could arrest you anywhere, including magically teleporting from the ground onto your helicopter and playing the arrest animation.
* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' has Kurtis Stryker. Just a regular guy but packs some ordnance to make up for it. Fights otherworldly monsters so he's going a bit above the line of duty.
* Chun-Li of ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' is an Interpol agent, always hot on the trail of M. Bison.
* Lei Wulong of ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'', which makes sense since he is an {{Expy}} of Creator/JackieChan.
* ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' puts Chun-Li together with Rikiya Busujima from VideoGame/ZombieRevenge and Bruno Delinger from ''VideoGame/DynamiteCop''/''Die Hard Arcade''.

[[/folder]]

* The title character of ''Anime/BirdyTheMighty''. She [[LightningBruiser has superhuman strength, speed, agility, and durability]] [[spoiler: She's also a [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke a bioengineered]] SuperSoldier]].

* ''Film/ScannerCop'' is a BMovie about a cop with PsychicPowers.

* Has occured a few times in ''SuperSentai'' (and by extension, ''Franchise/PowerRangers''):
** Signalman from ''Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger'' (and the Blue Senturion from ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'') is a Super '''Traffic''' Cop.
** ''Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger'' [=/=] ''Series/PowerRangersTimeForce'' is about a team of TimePolice from the year 3000, chasing a villain who travelled a millennium back in time with an entire prison of criminals in tow.
** The [[FunWithAcronyms S.P.D.]] from ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'' (where it stands for Special Police Dekaranger) and ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'' (where it's Space Patrol Delta) plays the police theme much heavier, down to having {{Finishing Move}}s that can only be used when the team's superpowered badges judge an enemy guilty. The team even have a "[=SWAT=] Mode" as their SuperMode.
** ''Series/KaitouSentaiLupinrangerVsKeisatsuSentaiPatranger'' features a team of SuperCop heroes competing with a team of PhantomThief ones to get their hands on the lost fortune of Literature/ArseneLupin.
* Most Franchise/MetalHeroes take on this role. In fact the first three, [[Series/SpaceSheriffGavan Gavan]], [[Series/SpaceSheriffSharivan Sharivan]] and [[Series/SpaceSheriffShaider Shaider]], all share the title Uchuu Keiji, which literally translates to Space Sheriff.

* Nick Angel from ''Film/HotFuzz'' is all but called this at certain points of the movie. The idea is deconstructed: Nick is a Super Cop, but he's also a somewhat dour, rule-obsessed, nosey loner.

** ''Series/KaitouSentaiLupinrangerVsKeisatsuSentaiPatoranger'' features a team of SuperCop heroes competing with a team of PhantomThief ones to get their hands on the lost fortune of Literature/ArseneLupin.

* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' space cops wear "strength rings" which give them SuperStrength and {{Flight}}. Officer Krelch has additional powers by virtue of being a [[HollywoodCyborg cyborg.]]

* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' has Officer Krelch of the Nemesite space police, who is a super-powered cyborg.

* ''Franchise/PowerRangers [[Series/PowerRangersSPD SPD]]'' and the Franchise/SuperSentai original, ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger''. Cops... with Zords! And their headquarters is a Zord too.
** There's also the Blue Senturion in ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'' and his Franchise/SuperSentai counterpart, Signalman, from ''Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger'', which are Super '''Traffic''' Cops.
** While SPD/the Dekarangers are SpacePolice, the idea of toku [=SuperCops=] is older than that - earlier, there was Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger / Series/PowerRangersTimeForce, which were TimePolice with Zords.

''This page is about the trope. For the Jackie Chan film, [[Film/SuperCop go here]].''

* ''ComicBook/TheSavageDragon''

* ''Film/PoliceAcademy'' borders on this when the RagtagBunchOfMisfits turn into [[BunnyEarsLawyer Bunny Ears Lawyers]]. [[RecycledTheSeries The animated series]], ''definitely''.

* Nick Angel from ''Film/HotFuzz'' is all but called this at certain points of the movie. The idea is deconstructed: Nick is a SuperCop, but he's also a somewhat dour rule-obsessed nosey loner.

** ''Manga/DominionTankPolice'' probably counts. I mean, these are cops... with TANKS. [[TankGoodness Really BIG tanks]], at that. And unlike the Patlabor dudes, these fellows DO move against any and all crime, with superior firepower through and through. Unfortunately for the city, they're also all [[CowboyCop Cowboy Cops]]... can you say 'Collateral Damage'?

* ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'' and its better known spin off ''Manga/SailorMoon'' have a strange example in Minako Aino, alias Sailor V and Sailor Venus: Minako has a rather vocal dislike for police officers, yet both the manga and anime continuities show her befriending some officers and acting like a Japanese cop when superheroing (and getting mistaken for a Super Cop by a youma during her early days as Sailor V), with the [[Anime/SailorMoon anime]] even having her as a Super Cop in London for a while as part of her background [[spoiler: and the ''Codename: Sailor V'' manga ending with Minako accepting to work for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, meaning she was a Super Cop for the whole run of ''Sailor Moon'' without it ever coming up]]. [[YouAreWhatYouHate She]] ''[[YouAreWhatYouHate still]]'' [[YouAreWhatYouHate dislikes your average Japanese cop.]] In fact, she initially took on the role, not for justice, but to stick it to Tokyo's cops by making fools out of them.

* As of ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF'' (and by extension, ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''), Krillin has joined the police force. Bear in mind that he is arguably the strongest Earthling, with enough ki to slice the planet in two, if not [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroy it outright]]. As he takes his job very seriously, however, he will only use the vehicles and equipment issued to him for their intended purposes, using his absurd power only as a last resort.

** There's a WhatIf story where Joe Dredd himself was never cured of his lycantropy after his encounter with a pack of werewolves. His HeroicWillpower allows him to regain control over his wolf form and he becomes a crimefighter in the Undercity.
* Meet the ''ComicBook/SavageDragon''. The Chicago Police's best weapon against super-human crime. Taken even further because there have been many times when he's been able to handle superhuman rampages by talking down the suspect instead of applying violence, like cops are trained to do.

* ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' puts Chun-Li together with Rikiya Busujima from VideoGame/ZombieRevenge and Bruno Delinger from Die Hard Arcade/Dynamite Cop.

* "Officer Prometheus" from ''TabletopGame/SilverAgeSentinels''. A combination between the powers of [[ComicBook/FantasticFour the Human torch]], the mentality of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, and an allegiance to the NYPD (well, [[NoCommunitiesWereHarmed Empire City PD]], actually). He prefers not to think of himself as a (super-) hero (even actively declining membership with the local super-teams), but rather as just one more cop--one that can be an equalizer when his brother cops have to deal with a super-criminal.

* Of course there's the movie ''Super Cop,'' in which the cop was trying to get killed in the line of duty before he retired in a few days.

* ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'': While Dredd himself is not an example, being merely a very well-trained BadassNormal, the Justice Department have their own division of Psi-Judges, the most notable of which is Judge Anderson.
