History Fanfic / AbsolutePowerSucksAbsolutely

* YankTheDogsChain: Deus Ex manages to achieve what he was going to do and resurrects the people (most of them children) lost to the Split World. [[spoiler:And then William Hand makes the Earth-16 version of ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'' happen, even thanking D.E. for the massive army of Black Lanterns he could bring up courtesy of all the resurrections.]] Maxime really, ''really'' doesn't takes it well.

''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/absolute-power-sucks-absolutely-young-justice-dc-si.694933/ Absolute Power Sucks Absolutely]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' Self Insert Fanfic writen by Wisetypewriter.

* ArbitraryMaximumRange: For some reason, Maxime can only affect things within 100 meters of him, no further. While none of his actions suffer from NoOntologicalInertia, he can't affect the other side of a city or the entire world at once. He can't extend this through any means and can't even create portals to transport himself that far even though he can do it for others.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: The story assumes that you've already watched ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' and doesn't hesitate to spoil things like [[spoiler:Wally's death at the end of Season 2]].

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Once the Joker is erased from existence all of Gotham throws a party. All over the world, people impacted by the clown's madness and evil do the same.

Maxime is a young man who ends up in the DCU verse and is gifted, or cursed with complete omnipotence in his immediate 100 meter vicinity. He sets up shop on Crime Alley, Gotham and grants the wishes of the desperateness. Being a decent bloke it does not occur to him to profit from his powers. Eventually though, granting wishes and despairing on what he can't grant takes quite a toll on his mental well-being.

* BadassGay: Maxime is confirmed to be gay and is by and far away the most powerful character in the story.

* WhatTheHellHero: Batman drops by while Maxime is having a mental breakdown. Maxime ends up transforming the surroundings into the death scene of Thomas and Martha Wayne to get him to go away, and taunts Bruce to ask for their restoration to life. He deeply, deeply regrets it latter.

* InSeriesNickname: Maxime has a myriad of names self-imposed or otherwise and calls Alvaro "Alf" for short.

* LikeASonToMe: Maria loves Maxime as if he was her own, trying to reign in his worst impulses and keeping him going insane from loneliness.

** Maxime frequently bestows minor superpowers like good fortune or good health on others he feels deserves it. In a more straightforward case, he gives Alvaro the power to turn into a dragon at will. He realizes that he's spoiled Alvaro too much when the latter begins to turn into one while arguing with Maria.

** He secretly blesses the entire team with invulnerability which they discover when Robin is bitten by Wendigo and is totally unharmed.

* AllPowerfulBystander: Maxime has limited omnipotence and no drive or desire to be a hero.

* AssholeVictim: Maxime erases the Joker from existence. He also removes Poison Ivy's powers, which causes her to mentally splinter even further. [[spoiler:He invokes Karmic Pain on the warlocks responsible for the Split world after removing their power and knowledge.]]

* DidntThinkThisThrough: After [[spoiler:killing Zeus]], Maxime realizes he never stopped to consider that [[spoiler:Billy's powers are dependent on the sky god and are now on the fritz with Zeus dead. He opts to fix this by offering to make Billy a god to replace him.]]

* SmugSnake: Zeus is confident in his superiority over Maxime even as Hera bends over backwards to avoid pissing the young demiurge off. [[spoiler:It backfires spectacularly when he's brought to his knees with a word and is later killed by Diana

** He secretly blesses the entire team with invincibility, which they discover when Robin is bitten by Wendigo and is totally unharmed.

* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: After Doctor George Powers declares that Maxime's decision to kill the Joker left a power vacuum in Gotham that may actively make things worse, Maxime gives him a call on live television. When the doctor continues to press the point, Maxime reminds him that he can do way worse and leaves the program with five words.
-->'''Maxime:''' Don't make me come back.

* RedBaron: "The Saint of Gotham City", "Wishmaker" and the "Miracle Man", after helping so many people. It even becomes a memetic hashtag, "Sainthood for the Saint", after he kills the Joker DeaderThanDead on live television. He later brands himself "Deus Ex".

* GameChanger: Happens to both sides of the balance: [[spoiler:Maxime was perfectly okay with just being a street-level superhero and help normal people (killing of the Joker aside) no matter what (when he finally accepts a League membership, he insists on it being just on paper and to never be called) until the Divide made him accept that the Light was a threat he just can't sit back and leave be, and Maxime decides to make clear he's truly NeutralNoLonger by using his knowledge of the show to give the Justice League the names of the Light's leadership and ask them to tell the world's governments that he will resurrect all of the people killed by he Divide and when the League points out that this means painting a target for '''everybody''' in the DC Universe to try to take him out or recruit him to their side by any means necessary, his response is "BringIt".]]

** With no knowledge of Maxime's meta origins, several characters propose this; John Constantine belives he may be an infant God, while Doctor Fate compares him to a mountain god which usually have total omnipotence in their own domains, refering to Maxime's limited range.

* DefeatByModesty: While visiting Kahndaq to [[spoiler:revive all of the people who died in the Split World]], he's stared down by Black Adam's fanatically loyal and magically-armed military. Rather than cause them any real harm, Maxime decides to simply poof all of their weapons and clothes while causing a fierce breeze to blow into them to

* MightMakesRight: [[spoiler: How Maxime plans on getting the worlds governments to allow him to resurrect the dead children.]]

* RedBaron: "The Saint of Gotham City" and the "Miracle Man", after helping do many people. It even becomes a memetics hashtag, "Sainthood for the Saint", after he kills the Joker DeaderThanDead on live television. He later brands himself "Deus Ex".

* UnwantedFalseFaith: Maxime is believed by many people to be a diety of some kind, even those close to him (while Maria doesn't, her son Alvaro keeps calling Maxime "Jesus" for this exact reason), which irks him, to put it bluntly.

Maxime is a young man who ends up in the DCU verse and is gifted, or cursed with complete omnipotence in his immediate 100 meter vicinity. He sets up shop on Crime Alley, Gotham and grants the wishes of the desperate. Being a decent bloke it does not occur to him to profit from his powers. Eventually though, granting wishes and despairing on what he can't grant takes quite a toll on his mental well-being.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The only one to ever refer to Maxime by his real name is Maria. Everyone else either calls him by his preferred super alias, "Deus Ex", or one of the many titles given to him such as "the Saint of Crime Alley", the "Miracle Man", or "the Wishmaker". Alvaro only calls him Jesus/

* BlessedWithSuck: Maxime's outlook on his powers. One hand, he's a PhysicalGod who can wish up practically anything he can imagine. On the other, he's constantly hounded by people asking him for favors and every government and organization on the planet wants him on their side when he wants nothing to do with any of them.
