The Death Lords from Exalted aren\'t really Villain Sues. The scope of their power isn\'t really that great. They\'re just ghosts with a few extra tricks and the patronage of the Neverborn; it is quite possible for living Exalted of almost any type to become their equals and superiors. Their armies are heavily restricted (and again, it is conceivable for player characters to match or outdo them at the higher levels). And there is an in-canon explanation for why they haven\'t destroyed Creation which emphasises how weak they are; the Neverborn are fickle, capricious, and quite insane, and will not accept anything other than absolute and complete success from the Death Lords. The Death Lords are so terrified of what the Neverborn may do to them that they won\'t implement any plan which they don\'t think has a 100% chance of success.
