"There's a whole generation of scanner soldiers just a few months away from being born. We'll find them, train them to be like us. We'll bring the world of normals to their knees. Build an empire, so brilliant, so glorious, we'll be the envy of the whole planet."
— Darryl Revok, Scanners
Spider-Man: I worshipped you! Your mind, your conscience, wanting to help others, the way you never gave up!
Doctor Octopus: That's because men like us have a duty! A responsibility. To use our talents in the service of others, even if they don't appreciate it. We have to do what's best for those beneath us. Whether they understand it or not!

"Those who can't wield the Force are seen as sheep. Sheep to devour as a Sith. Sheep to tend as a Jedi. But you're still a sheep as far as the saber swingers see you."
— Forum post discussing Knights of the Old Republic
"The Force is not a shield to protect the useless — but is, in reality, a weapon to empower the worthy."
— Desann, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
"For Kryptonians and Daxamites were gods, off their homeworlds. They really were. What a pity their morality forced them not to realize that fact."

Linda Lee: Um... Ms. Bigglestone? Aren't we all equal and stuff? I mean, just because we're not super-powered doesn't mean we should be treated any differently...
Ms. Bigglestone: I'm sorry, but no. That is incorrect. Your fate, which I am here to ensure you embrace, is one of mediocrity and fear. As non-super-powered citizens, you may stand back and witness the majesty of your betters. Or, perhaps, become pawns in their super-powered contests. Either way, what you do is of little importance.

"I have watched you worms all this time, all of you scared and alone. On Midgard, you may claim at being heroes. But here? You are less than nothing. Without Thor, who will save you now?"
"We're not so different, you and I. We have the power of gods, and with it the right... the duty... to use that power. I thought that together we could conquer that pathetic planet and find the answers we both seek."
— Reign, Last Daughter of Krypton
"You are deluded, Captain. You pretend to be a simple soldier, but in reality you are just afraid to admit that we have left humanity behind. Unlike you, I embrace it proudly. Without fear!"
— Johann Schmidt/Red Skull, Captain America: The First Avenger
"Maybe it's time we forgot about discretion. We should be ruling the humans, not running around making back-alley treaties with them. For fuck's sake, these people are our food, not our allies."
— Deacon Frost, Blade (1998)
"Oh, so it's back to pretending we're human again? C'mon... spare me the Uncle Tom routine, okay? You can't keep denying what you are, man. You think the humans will ever accept a half-breed like you? They can't. They're afraid of you. And they should be. You're an animal, you're a fuckin' maniac! Look at 'em. They're cattle; pieces of meat. What difference does it make how their world ends? Plague... war... famine. Morality doesn't even enter into it. We're just a function of natural selection, man. The new race."
— Deacon Frost to Blade, Blade (1998)
Homelander: Starlight lied to you just now. She did. I don't make mistakes. I'm not 'just like the rest of you'. I'm stronger, I'm smarter... I'm better. I. AM. BETTER. I'm not some weak-kneed fսcking crybaby that goes around fսcking... apologizing all the time! And why the fuck would you WANT me to be!?
Ashley: Go to commercial, Roger... Go to fucking commercial —
Homelander: Don't you DARE stop rolling, Roger! ...All my life, people have tried to control me. My whole life. Rich people; powerful people have tried to nuzzle me, cancel me, keep me impotent and obedient... like I'm a fucking puppet! You know what? It worked! Because I allowed it to work. And guess what? If they can control me, you can bet your ass they can control you! They already do, you just don't realize it. I'm done. I am done apologizing. I am done being persecuted for my strength. You should be thanking Christ that I am who and what I am because you need me! You need me to save you! You do. I am the only one who possibly can. You're not The Real Heroes... I'm the real hero. ...I'm the real hero...

"No, no! How many times do I have to tell you? We don't need a fucking Master Race. I'm the master race, that's the point. That's the whole point."

"Captain, although your abilities intrigue me, you are quite honestly inferior. Mentally, physically. In fact, I am surprised how little improvement there has been in human evolution. Oh, there has been technical advancement, but, how little man himself has changed. Yes, it appears we will do well in your century, Captain."
— Khan Noonien Singh, Star Trek: The Original Series
