Accidental double-post.

I don't think anyone who ruled as a military dictator for life and only lost power upon death qualifies for either the letter or spirit of the trope. To that end, I would like to remove many such examples. Objections?

"Batman once noted, "It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god... and how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him.""

If I remember right (it's been a few years) that was the Superman/Batman" Public Enemies arc, when Luthor was president. (Preceded by Superman telling Batman to move about three feet to the left, I believe.)

Removed this from the sub-bullet of Gor: "He didn't just keep the title and power, he claimed it so completely he broke two precedents at once: making it hereditary and passing it to his daughter, the first Ubaress."

Marlenus didn't make her Ubaress, scheming plutocrats - who were ultimately Fifth Columnists for Cos - did that. (Plus it's actualy Ubara, not Ubaress.)
