** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXVI'':
*** Most of the game's strongest characters, Dominants (beings who can channel powerful magic and transform into creatures embodying a magical element) are born into positions of power/nobility; Clive and Joshua, the Dominants of Ifrit and Phoenix, are the sons of the archduke of Rosaria. Dion Lesage, the Dominant of Bahamut, is the son of the emperor of Sanbreque. Barnabas Tharmr, the Dominant of Odin, is the king of Waloed. As [[AllThereInTheManual as revealed in the game's Ultimania guidebook]], [[spoiler: the game's BigBad Ultima]] was formerly the king of his own people.

** Captain Price, apart from being [[GameplayAllyImmortality literally unkillable]] for the most of the game, is usually the first one to dash into the next room full of {{mooks}} and clear the way for his team, including the PC. He also does some impressive tricks when subtlety is required.
** Played straight with General Shepherd in ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare 2'', [[spoiler:where it turns out that the general is capable of completely whooping both Captains Mactavish and Price (two S.A.S. commandos) in a stand up fight. The two only survive because the half-dead Soap manages to pull a knife out of his gut and [[EyeScream throw it into Shepherd's eye]] as he's distracted while beating Price to death. Keep in mind that Shepherd has just survived a helicopter crash (whereas Soap and Price "merely" fell down a waterfall).]]

** Call of Duty is rife with this trope, yet still subverts it with Al-Asad [[spoiler: beaten up and summarily executed by Price]] and Victor Zakhaev [[spoiler: commits suicide to avoid capture, which is at least better than Al-Asad]]
