Progenitus is just big and hard to kill and block. Sure it does that really well, but that just makes it very good at doing one kind of thing creatures do. To be even remotely considered for a master of all it would need creature production, some kind of combat trick ability - too many things to fit on a card actually. Magic just doesn\'t lend itself to this trope.

* With no hard cap on creature Power and Toughness stats and far too many powers and abilities for one card or deck to encompass everything, it's tough to apply this to ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''. The closest to the spirit of the trope is probably [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=179496 Progenitus]], which at 10/10 is among the largest naturally-occuring creatures and has Protection from Everything. (Protection effects are usually limited to a single color or creature type.) Fittingly, it costs two of every mana type to play, requiring the ''player'' to be something of a MasterOfAll just to get it on the field.

* Deliberately averted in most incarnations of the Fate system (''TabletopGame/SpiritOfTheCentury'', ''TabletopGame/TheDresdenFiles'' et al.). The skill pyramid/column scheme built into these games only allows a character to have as many skills at peak level as the lower-ranked ones can "support", making it literally impossible to be good at everything.
** The main exception is the "quick-start" ''Fate Accelerated Edition'', which only uses six "approaches" in place of skills and thus doesn't bother with such a scheme post character creation -- in theory, an ''[=FAE=]'' character played long enough ''could'' eventually become equally good at all of them, assuming he or she was played for long enough without any change in system. Of course, this particular incarnation ''is'' mainly a lightweight "intro-level" product not so much intended for running campaigns that long with in the first place (though one can in principle do that, too)...

Added DiffLines:
To specialize or generalize? That is the question. When your generalist can't stack up to the specialists, you've got a MasterOfNone. When the weaknesses of your specialist render it worthless, you've got CripplingOverspecialization. Sometimes a generalist can retain its usefulness through sheer versatility, in which case you've got a JackOfAllStats and/or JackOfAllTrades... but still not a master.
But what if you didn't have to choose?
What if you could be, not merely average, but world-class... at EVERYTHING?
The strength of the MightyGlacier, without the slowness. The speed of a FragileSpeedster, without the fragility. The mojo of a SquishyWizard without the squish. The stopping power of a GlassCannon but MadeOfIron.
MasterOfNone, JackOfAllStats / [[JackOfAllTrades Trades]], and MasterOfAll are related tropes. Each describes a generalist character type, bad/good/great at everything. While the Jack might be good enough at any skill, the Master of All is rarely outclassed, usually only by someone with a CripplingOverspecialization.
Importantly, a character, weapon, or unit does NOT have to be [[PurposefullyOverpowered overpowered,]] a GameBreaker, [[NighInvulnerable invincible]], or [[TheJuggernaut unstoppable]] to count as this. Nor does it have to be THE best in every area to qualify, just top-tier. To qualify, it must:

Likely to overlap with AllYourPowersCombined. Sometimes a result of [[UpToEleven rampant]] PowerCopying. Where game balance is a concern, nearly always a GameBreaker, unless it's a GuestStarPartyMember, ATasteOfPower, or otherwise AwesomeButTemporary. If the computer is this but the player cannot be, it's because TheComputerIsACheatingBastard. Often a SecretCharacter or other UnlockableContent. May only be available in a NewGamePlus. Most [[InfinityPlusOneSword Infinity Plus One Swords]] are this in settings where weapons have stats besides "Attack." Likely to be a LightningBruiser, GeniusBruiser, and/or OneManArmy. Needless to say, always some flavor of {{Badass}}.
Compare GameBreaker and TheAce, which are similarly powerful but may be specialized, and TheOmnipotent, which are often (but not always) this by default. Compare and contrast JackOfAllStats / JackOfAllTrades, a generalist that is not top-tier in any given area. Overlaps with LightningBruiser, which combines three specific specializations but not necessarily all available in the setting. Arguably a SuperTrope to GodModeSue, which is a particularly overpowered MasterOfAll in a setting where everyone else is a MasterOfNone and TheLoad by comparison. Contrast MasterOfNone.

!!Examples:
[[AC:DrivingGame]]
* Minion, the SecretCharacter in the ''TwistedMetal'' games, is usually this, with top-class speed, handling, and armor plus a badass superweapon. His only (slight) drawback is his size, which makes him a larger-than-average target.
* The Golden Kart in ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash'' has the best combined stats of all vehicles. Some are better in one stat but lower in the others (Bowser's has highest top speed, but takes a while to get there).
* Super Sonic in ''VideoGame/SonicR'' has perfect stats across the board.
* In the PAL version of ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRacing'', the cheat-only character Penta Penguin has perfect scores in all stats. When it comes to the race itself, though, he's often tiered lower than the high-speed-low-handling characters, due to how power-sliding works.
[[AC:EasternRPG]]
* Ash, the protagonist of ''VideoGame/VandalHearts'', starts out as a very competent and useful JackOfAllStats and MagicKnight, and becomes this trope in spades if [[GuideDangIt you manage to]] unlock his [[GameBreaker gamebreaking]], PurposefullyOverpowered Vandalier class, which is a LightningBruiser that can cast every spell in the game.
* The [[GameBreaker Majin class]] from the first ''[[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Disgaea]]'' game. Very high stats all across the board, positive Aptitudes for all stats, very proficient with all weapons, and high mobility. There is no reason to use anything else when you have unlocked this class (though it requires a bit of a GuideDangIt). The subsequent games {{nerf}} this class severely, though. The [[VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories second game]] reduces its mobility to the minimum, making it somewhat of a MightyGlacier instead. The [[VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice third]] and [[VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten fourth]] games take it even further, giving it low aptitude above the low mobility, and ''no weapon proficiency'', making the class require a lot of work to even be remotely playable.
* A sufficient amount of LevelGrinding can yield this in most [=JRPGs=] with a JobSystem, such as ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'', ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIX'', and ''VideoGame/BlueDragon''.
** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVI'' has a particularly spectacular example in that changing class affects only your stats, while spells are determined by the class's rank, itself depending on the number of battles you've fought. However, spells stay with the character once learned even after subsequent class changes, which can lead to situations like the MightyGlacier throwing healing spells or the SquishyWizard launching physical attacks, and doing quite well at both.
* In the Pokemon games, the Mew-clones are this with 100 as a base stat across the board and typically able to learn an incredibly wide variety of moves. Mew in particular can learn every teachable move in the game.
** Arceus takes this even further, having 120 base stats across the board, capable of learning every teachable move (except moves that explicitly require hands due to being a [[TheMarvelousDeer Marvelous Deer]]) and has an ability that allows it to change into any of the 17 ElementalRockPaperScissors Types.
[[AC:FightingGame]]
* The ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'' has Edge Master, a proclaimed master of the art of fighting, who has [[MultiMeleeMaster supposedly mastered every fighting style known to man]] to the point that he can teach others and [[DittoFighter utilize them himself if need be]]. It's also noted that he has clashed with the Warrior King Algol and perhaps was the one person who fought Olcadan to a draw. Especially enforced in ''Soul Calibur V'', where he was the only character to mimic every style, while fellow [[DittoFighter Ditto Fighters]] Killik and Elysium could only copy male and female fighting styles respectively.
[[AC:FirstPersonShooter]]
* In ''VideoGame/CallOfJuarezGunslinger'', by the end of NewGamePlus the player should be able to max out all three skill trees and become a master of all three combat disciplines. This creates some weird synergies that allow you to do things like performing six or more consecutive [[BoomHeadshot headshots]] on distant enemies in the span of a few seconds while using a sawed-off shotgun that only has two shells in it. It really helps to emphasize the UnreliableNarrator nature of the story.
* The [[{{AKA47}} RCP-90]] in ''VideoGame/{{Goldeneye 1997}}'' was incredibly powerful (its power was only matched by cheat weapons and explosives), had one of (if not the) highest firing rate in the game, and had the largest ammo capacity to boot. To top it off, it used the single most common ammo in the game.
[[AC:TabletopGames]]
* With no hard cap on creature Power and Toughness stats and far too many powers and abilities for one card or deck to encompass everything, it's tough to apply this to ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''. The closest to the spirit of the trope is probably [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=179496 Progenitus]], which at 10/10 is among the largest naturally-occuring creatures and has Protection from Everything. (Protection effects are usually limited to a single color or creature type.) Fittingly, it costs two of every mana type to play, requiring the ''player'' to be something of a MasterOfAll just to get it on the field.
[[AC:TurnBasedStrategy]]
* {{Tactics Ogre}}: Before the remake said class was the AI-only Templar Knight.
[[AC:WesternRPG]]
* The player in the ''[[{{VideoGame/Fable}} Fable]]'' games is almost certain to be this. While you CAN choose to specialize, the way the cost of upgrades scales means there's no reason to: the cost of going outside your specialty quickly becomes negligible meaning that there's no down side to ultimately becoming equally proficient in Strength, Skill, and Will.
* It's possible to turn the player character into this in most {{Creator/Bethesda}} games, such as ''{{VideoGame/Fallout3}}'' and ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'', but it takes an insane amount of LevelGrinding.
----
!! Non-Game Examples:
[[AC:[[{{Anime}} Anime & Manga]]]]
* Every fighter in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' either is this or aspires to this. The one attempt to specialize (by Trunks, during the Cell Saga) results in CripplingOverspecialization. Other than that, speed, strength, invulnerability, and ki control all seem to increase proportionally with power level. Some less-powerful characters are said to be greater strategists, but this is inconsistent and tends to be a bit of an InformedAbility in any case.
[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* The MartianManhunter. All the powers of {{Franchise/Superman}} without his weakness, plus {{Telepathy}}, {{Intangibility}}, and VoluntaryShapeshifting. [[KillItWithFire He does have a]] WeaksauceWeakness, but he [[DependingOnTheWriter has been known to overcome it.]] There's a reason why the writers [[{{Gamebreaker}} don't tend to use him much.]]
* [[DependingOnTheWriter Within works centered around him]], especially those without superpowers (such as [[Film/{{Batman}} the]] [[Film/TheDarkKnightSaga movies]]), Franchise/{{Batman}} tends to be this. He's the World's Greatest Detective, skilled in every scientific field, a MasterOfDisguise, a capable leader, one of the top martial artists in the world, has a ton of high-tech gadgets thanks to being high in the [[FictionFiveHundred Fiction 500]], has trained his body to CharlesAtlasSuperpower level, and often displays random skills such as being a capable actor [[CrazyPrepared just in case he might have need of that skill]]. In works where he teams up with superpowered or magical characters, not so much.
* LethalJokeCharacter / MemeticBadass example: Marvel comics gives their characters "stats" much like a VideoGame. ComicBook/SquirrelGirl's official ratings have [[http://marvel.com/universe/Squirrel_Girl every stat maxed out]]. It's a RunningGag that she keeps defeating Marvel's most powerful villains including (effectively) gods off-camera. ''With squirrels.''
* A One-shot character in TomPoes has a mark on his hand, the 'mark of the master', een meesterhand. Anyone who shaked his hand immediately assumes the bearer of this mark is the absolute expert. Bommel briefly takes over this mark and notices straight away it doesn't work out well. The original bearer however is then revealed to be this, because of his old age he has been able to learn everything and actually be this, so he can sort of live a normal life.
[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* Franchise/{{Batman}} in ''Film/{{Batman}}'' and ''Film/TheDarkKnightSaga'', as discussed above under ComicBook.
[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
* The titular character in ''Literature/TheTalesOfAlvinMaker'' is this. He can duplicate the specialized "knack" abilities of almost every other character of European descent in the series, and the generalist greensong powers of the Native Americans as well. A character {{Lampshade}}s this when a phrenological examination of his head reveals that all of his traits and talents are perfectly balanced.
* [[TheMessiah Rand]] in ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' definitely counts, combining world-class swordsmanship, [[RealityWarper ta'veren status]], [[DreamLand dreamwalking]], and THE most powerful magical ability in the world.
[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* [[TheMessiah The Avatar]] in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' is expected to become this: a master of all four elements in a setting where it usually takes a lifetime of training to become a master of just one. [[KidHero Aang]] takes this UpToEleven when he [[spoiler: becomes the first Avatar to also learn the lost art of energybending.]]
* The second appearance of Amazo in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' is this with a bullet, thanks to PowerCopying turned UpToEleven.
[[AC:RealLife]]
* This is the [[UpToEleven logical extension]] of the ideal of the RenaissanceMan, although arguably no one in RealLife has ever actually attained it.
