The characters of a work are in some kind of a crisis, and simply need help. Thankfully, they bump into a friendly celebrity. No, the work is not LikeRealityUnlessNoted -- they could very well be [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants diminutive talking sea creatures who meet David Hasselhoff on the beach]]. And it's more than that -- the celebrity is ''very'' unlike reality. In fact, they have super-powers. Why? Because they're a celebrity.
Similar to, but distinct from MemeticBadass and PopularityPower. In both of those cases, it's a fictional character who most often gets the treatment; in Celebrity Power, it's a real-life celebrity, and it doesn't need to be a meme to qualify. Any celebrity who has super-powers just because they're a celebrity counts. Giving this treatment to a [[HistoricalDomainCharacter famous person from history]] rather than the present usually falls under HistoricalBadassUpgrade and/or its subtrope, HistoricalDomainSuperperson.

*** Music/StevieRayVaughan was a very talented guitarist who revived the stagnant Blues genre, and is now regarded as one of the most iconic and influential Blues musicians in history. The Codexverse takes it further by having his [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed expy]], Moon Ray Vaughoof, become first an [[{{Psychopomp}} Angel of Death]] after his death, then an [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Alicorn]] '[[TheAce prodigy]]' after learning to forgive and let go of his past. He's also a skilled artist and [[TheShrink therapist]], a powerful [[PsychicPowers psychic]] and [[{{Seers}} Seer]], and is experienced with spotting signs of abuse/addiction in general, all which Stevie Ray doesn't have (ironically, Stevie Ray did show potential in art as a high school student, but ultimately chose to pursue music). Later, a series of events would permanently turn Moon Ray into an [[EldritchAbomination eldritch god]], which ultimately stemmed from his actions of taking a divine drug while sick that instead irrevocably changed his divine nature.

* ''Fanfic/CodexEquus'': This is extremely common thanks to many Codexverse characters being based on [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed real-life people]].
** Many Trimortidae members are based on real-life celebrities, but unlike their inspirations, they had the option to Ascend to godhood and took it, becoming Death deities.
*** Creator/AlanRickman is a famous and respected British actor, known for playing villains and [[ByronicHero deeply complex characters]]. Here, as Sir Curtain Call, he would become the Alicorn god of Death, Villainy, Acting, and Understanding after dying of old age.
*** Music/JimiHendrix is one of the most legendary and influential guitarists whose experimental applications of feedback and distortion revolutionized both rock music and how people played electric guitars. Double Helix is essentially the Codexverse's Ponified version of Hendrix who, as a result of changes in both circumstances and choices in his life, ends up becoming the Zebralicorn god of Death, Addiction, Enlightenment, and Spirit.

** Prince Healing Song (now Prince Medela Cantor Cahaya) is based on Music/JeffHealey, a Canadian-born jazz/blues musician. In life, Jeff Healey was a [[TheAce prodigy]], being a songwriter, actor, and DJ in addition to being a BlindMusician, but died of cancer in his forties. Here, Healing Song was saved by a last-minute Ascension while he was dying [[spoiler:possibly thanks to a disguised Luminiferous]], becoming an Alicorn god with PsychicPowers and MagicMusic. Initially, he was a MartialPacifist, but after realizing he was holding himself back, he changed his beliefs and unleashed his full power, healing himself in the process. Later, being exposed to the reality-warping presence of an EldritchAbomination (who is the corrupted form of his friend, Moon Ray/Canticum) turned Healing Song into an eldritch god with the power to perceive alternate dimensions via light.
** All members of the Redeeming Six are based on Music/StevieRayVaughan and his inner social circle, consisting of his wife, his older brother, and his bandmates in Double Trouble. Unlike their real-life inspirations, however, they would all first start out as Angels (or Angels of Death) before Ascending to godhood. Presently, all of them are eldritch deities thanks to Moon Ray/Canticum re-Ascending as one and then later helping his loved ones Ascend, too.
