* ''WebAnimation/LanaSkyesParole'': In an unusually polite take on this trope, Miles Edgeworth remarks that Jacques Portsman could easily be an agent of justice with his talent in being CrazyPrepared and preserving evidence.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/ThePerfectRun'':
** Mechron does this to ''himself'', claiming that he could have vastly improved the human condition if only people had stopped getting in his way. Considering that he announced his presence to the world by a terrorist attack on an international war crimes tribunal for being too soft, he didn't exactly give people much of a chance to play along with him.
** Narcinia has the power to create any living thing she can think of, including plants with seemingly supernatural properties. She could create plants to feed the hungry, clean up radiation zones, and heal the world. Instead, her family forces her to make drugs. [[spoiler:In fact, her real mother ''was'' using her own power to heal the world. Augustus murdered her and burned her plants because he doesn't want normal people to have a chance to survive. Then he took her daughter, had her mind shattered, and gave her to his friends to raise as their own]].

** And Kreia delivers a somewhat twisted version of this trope to [[spoiler:a Dark Side Exile during the climax]], in a combination with YouHaveFailedMe, WhatTheHellHero and TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Notably, it's not so much because [[spoiler:you could have followed the Light Side instead of the dark side so much as the whole part that you have severed yourself from the Force, made a comeback,]] and still not realized any of the implications behind it. If [[spoiler:the Exile is Light Side]] the speech gets delivered to [[spoiler:the Jedi Council instead -- just before she kills them all for sticking to their outdated dogmas even in the face of evidence that life without the Force is possible and they are wrong.]]
