* In ''The Scent Of Magic'' by Cliff Mc Nish, when one girl gets magic all she does is read a book by the light of her spells shining from her eyes.

* In ''Abberant'', this is essentially what ''every'' nova does with their newfound powers. Granted, there are a few who use their powers in the classical superhero way, but even then they only do it for the fame or the money. Justified, as ''Aberrant'' is a more or less a deconstruction of the superhero genre.

* In ''TheSimpsons'', there is an episode were both Lisa and Bart get superpowers. After getting his powers Bart declared "[[TheSimpsons I must only use these powers to annoy!]]".

* The entirety of Comicbook:ClanDestine. The family lives a very wealthy,comfortable lifestyle and stays relatively quiet about their abilities. It's only when the youngest twins decide they want to become heroes that the family is exposed.

* In ''PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', this is Kyoko's attitude after becoming a MagicalGirl. Though initially an idealist like Madoka and Sayaka, after ruining her life, she decided to only use her powers for her own benefit.

* In ''WearingTheCape'' even the superheroes are working for big paychecks, and the more successful ones are idolized, with their own merchandise lines, fan-clubs, even TV shows fictionalizing their adventures. This doesn't mean they're ''all'' in it for the perks--just that a superhero career can be financially remunerative.

When this character gets superpowers, the first thing they do is... not much. They use their powers to marginally improve their lives, and simply do what they feel like. They don't care about the typical GoodVsEvil struggle [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive (unless their mother gets kidnapped by the Evil League of Evil, or is staked by the local KnightTemplar)]]. Their behavior is probably are how most ordinary people would act if they got superpowers. They aren't particularly mean, nor especially kind. They are just ordinary people given extraordinary powers. Often this is how characters in shows on the center-right side of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism act before the plot shows up.

In fiction it's very common that a character's life drastically changes after they get superpowers. The first thing most people do (after dealing with the person bullying them throughout act 1), is strap on their shiniest [[TheCape cape]] or nicest [[KickTheDog dog-kicking boots]] and become the local hero or villain. That's not the life for this character, though.

When this character gets superpowers, the first thing they do is... not much. They use their powers to marginally improve their lives, and simply do what they feel like. They don't care about the typical GoodVsEvil struggle [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive (unless their mother gets kidnapped by the Evil League of Evil, or is staked by the local KnightTemplar)]]. Their behavior is probably are how most ordinary people would act if they got superpowers. They aren't particularly mean, nor especially kind. They are just ordinary people given extraordinary powers. Often this is how characters in shows on the center-right side of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism act before the plot shows up.

If there are other characters that have chosen to become heroes or villains, they (more often than not) will tell this character that they are either [[YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood selfish or wasting their potential]].

While plot-wise most characters are given superpowers for the purpose of beating up other guys with superpowers, this kind of characters can be used in SliceOfLife situations and make a plot interesting without an antagonist that must be beaten.

Differs from MundaneUtility in that MundaneUtility is where a superpower can be/is used to make a character's every day life easier, whereas with this trope that's ''all'' their powers are used for.

Opposite trope of ComesGreatResponsibility. Related to CutLexLuthorACheck and ChaoticNeutral (They tend to do whatever they want).

!!Examples:

[[AC:Anime and Manga]]
* In ''DragonballZ''. While Future Android 18 is definitively a very evil villain, Present Android 18 uses her powers only for personal gain and fun. She more often than not only cares about monetary gain, and hardly ever gets involved in the GoodVsEvil struggle.
* In ''PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', this is Kyoko's attitude after becoming a MagicalGirl. Though initially an idealist like Madoka and Sayaka, after ruining her life, she decided to only use her powers for her own benefit.

[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* Peter Parker, at first. It was only after a thief he could have stopped killed his uncle that he [[TropeNamer named]] [[ComesGreatResponsibility the opposite trope]] and became ''SpiderMan''.

[[AC:Films]]
* In ''BruceAlmighty'': After Bruce got the powers of God, he immediately began to use them for fun, to improve his romantic life, and to become more successful as a reporter.
* In ''{{Jumper}}'', the main character spends the time between finding out he has powers and the plot [[IncrediblyLamePun jumping]] around, seeing the world, and occasionally leaving [=IOUs=] in emptied bank vaults (but with the serious intention of one day paying them back).
* In ''WhatWomenWant'', the main character got the power to read minds thanks to lightning. He uses these powers to improve himself on dates, to bond with his daughter, and manipulate women.

[[AC:Literature]]
* The Faust legend, and how it's depicted in ''DoctorFaustus'' is all about this, and would qualify as a darker take on this. After making his DealWithTheDevil, Faust behaves in a quiet similar manner to ''BruceAlmighty'' and uses his power to pull pranks and satisfy his whims of the moment. While this kind of thing makes the audience laugh, it amounts to him wasting the true potential of the deal and he ends up eternally damned without a lot to show for it.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* ''AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes''
** [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]] with Hank Pym who is able to control ants, become a giant and shrink down to ant-size...and uses them ForScience until his girlfriend (see the Wasp, below) convinces him to become more proactive.
** Subverted by Wasp. She starts out following this pattern, then got bored and decided to convince Hank Pym that they should become superheroes.
* In ''TheSimpsons'', there is an episode were both Lisa and Bart get superpowers. After getting his powers Bart declared "[[TheSimpsons I must only use these powers to annoy!]]".
** Except that [[SubvertedTrope they both become superheroes instead]].
----

** Played straight with Hank Pym who is able to control ants, become a giant and shrink like an ant.

* In DragonballZ. While Future Android 18 is definitively a very evil villain, Present Android 18 uses her powers only for personal gain and fun. She more often than not only cares about monetary gain, and hardly ever gets involved in the GoodVsEvil struggle.
