*** Hifumi Yamada, the ultimate Otaku, who manages to throw together a passable robot costume in a single night [[spoiler: to frame Hagakure]].
*** Yasuhiro Hagakure, the Ultimate Clairvoyant, is a border case, depending on if you think he can really predict the future or is just a con artist. He claims a 30% accuracy rate- and, in the end, he'll make three predictions, one of which is true and the other two false. [[spoiler: In the bad ending, the correct prediction is that his and Makoto's children will share a mother (Aoi). In the true ending, it's that there will be no more murders after the third trial.]] Coincidence? Maybe.
*** Kiyotaka Ishimaru, the Ultimate Moral Compass, would be a lot more helpful if people listened to him.
*** Gundham Tanaka, the Ultimate Breeder, is able to use his trained hamsters to [[spoiler: kill Nekomaru]].
*** Mahiru Koizumi, the Ultimate Photographer, is able to use her pictures to pin down important things about crime scenes.
*** Ibuki Mioda, the Ultimate Musician, has super-good hearing that she uses to help solve mysteries.
*** Ryoma Hoshi, the Ultimate Tennis Player, took down the mob with his tennis skills and some custom steel balls.
*** Ryota Mitarai, the Ultimate Animator, [[spoiler: whose anime can brainwash people and helped cause the Tragedy]].
*** Tsumugi Shirogane, the Ultimate Cosplayer, [[spoiler: is an even better MasterOfDisguise than the Ultimate Impostor]].
** For 'really useful', we have the following:
*** Kokichi Oma's Ultimate Supreme Leader talent makes him ''exceptionally'' good at hijacking the narrative for himself, and the skill at lying that comes with the package makes him ''really'' good at pinpointing culprits.
*** 'Service' talents (like Chisa's Ultimate Housekeeper talent and Kirumi's Ultimate Maid), since those tend to mean 'is good at ''anything'' that might be helpful to someone'. [[spoiler: Kirumi is so good at being a maid that she eventually became de facto ''Prime Minister'' of Japan.]]
*** Mikan, the Ultimate Nurse, who's good at taking care of others in general and is experienced enough in medical matters to conduct amateur (but highly useful) autopsies.
*** 'Combat' talents in general (Sakura the Ultimate Martial Artist, Peko the Ultimate Swordswoman, Tenko the ultimate Aikido Master), with the crowning example being Mukuro Ikusaba the Ultimate Soldier.
*** The 'Ultimate Detective' talent that Kyoko Kirigiri and Shuichi Saihara have; useful on its own and practically tailor-made for winning killing games.
** For pure StoryBreakerPower talents, we have:
*** Chihiro Fujisaki, the Ultimate Programmer, who's capable of making a functional AI given a few days and an old laptop.
*** [[spoiler: Junko Enoshima]], the [[AwesomenessByAnalysis Ultimate Analyst]], who's so good she essentially has PrescienceByAnalysis.
*** Yasuke Matsuda, the Ultimate Neurologist.
*** Miu Iruma, the Ultimate Inventor.
*** The Ultimate Good Luck talent, rather characteristically, varies dramatically. For Makoto, it mostly manifests as PlotArmor, while Nagito's far stronger luck means makes him nigh-unstoppable, but screws him over just as much as it saves him (for example, when he was accepted to Hope's Peak he was ''also'' diagnosed with two terminal diseases).
*** The absolute pinnacle of lottery winning is Izuru Kamukura, who had the lottery rigged in his favor by the Hope's Peak Steering Committee to give him literally ''every'' talent. He's luckier than Nagito, a better fighter than Sakura, smarter than [[spoiler: Junko]], and so on. The bad news?

In-universe each of them is considered a ChosenOne and his or her birth is a cause for celebration (and fear after the first one [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity went a little crazy]]).
* ''Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}'' has so many examples it would be enough to fit its own page, from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' to ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and its various spinoffs.
** First off, anyone who got the [[OneHitKill Mystic Eyes of Death Perception]]. To clarify, it's only obtained by surviving a NearDeathExperience, and even then it's not a guarantee to get it. If you ''do'' get it, however, it allows you to see the point of death of ''anything'', and then cut them to erase that thing from existence. Like People. Or Tables. Walls. [[PersonOfMassDestruction Buildings. Air.]] Or, ''[[EarthShatteringKaboom Earth]]''. It's not even limited to the physical. The more powerful of the two known users, [[Literature/TheGardenOfSinners Shiki Ryougi]], has managed to kill a psychic's power, an abstract prison and, in one special instance, ''the future''. At one point, she claims that she could even kill a god so long as it exists.
** Ciel of ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' was born to an entirely ordinary family, yet she also possessed enough magic circuits of high enough quality that her magic power is considered to be on the same level as Servants. Unfortunately this verges into BlessedWithSuck territory for her since her incredibly potent magical power made her a prime target as [[DemonicPossession Roa's next host]].
** In the same vein, Satsuki, the former TropeNamer of DemotedToExtra, has so much magical potential despite coming from a normal bloodline that she leapfrogs several stages of vampirism all the way to Dead Apostle status, something that normally happens only through artifical means or centuries of consuming human flesh. Not only this but a year after, during the events of VideoGame/MeltyBlood, she gains a Reality Marble called Depletion Garden that makes her a MagicEater. Then she also has the Mystic Eyes of Enchantment.
** Anyone who wields any of the [[RealityWarper True Magic]]. To obtain it, one must have a connection to [[AkashicRecords Akasha]], although it isn't properly explained. Divided into Five Domains, The First Magic has the power to [[ThePowerOfCreation deny]] [[PowerOfTheVoid nothingness]]. The Second Magic [[SpaceMaster manipulates]] {{Alternate Universe}}s. The Third Magic [[SoulPower materializes soul]]. The Fifth Magic ([[MindScrew seemingly]]) governs TimeTravel. (The Fourth is totally unknown.)
** Most of the Servants from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' are ''required'' to win the lottery just to be chosen by the Holy Grail as Servants. The Noble Phantasms they have can even be said to represent this trope (Noble Phantasms are a hero's most distinctive skill or weapon), and are pretty much determined by their legends. Lancer has a spear that [[RealityWarper will pierce your heart by reversing causality]] to ensure OneHitKill. Berserker can only be hurt by ''fatal'' attacks and possesses 12 lives that must be killed differently each. Saber has [[spoiler:Excalibur, which can fire {{Sword Beam}}s comparable to nukes, and Avalon, which grants almost CompleteImmortality]]. Archer can [[spoiler:copy any and all weapons that a human ever creates, including weaponry Noble Phantasms]]. Rider can [[spoiler:petrify people with her [[TakenForGranite Mystic Eyes of Petrification]], and summon powerful legendary beasts such as Pegasus]]. Gilgamesh possesses ''an innummerable amount of legendary weapons'' including god-binding chains and an ''Anti-World'' Noble Phantasm, while most Noble Phantasms top at Anti-Army and fewer still stand at Anti-Fortress. [[spoiler:And neither the chains nor the Anti-World weapon can be copied by anyone.]] Angra Mainyu is both a winner and a loser of the lottery. He is a Servant who is extremely weak compared other Servants and is nearly useless at fighting them. However, when fighting against humans, only two other beings in the setting are more effective at mass killing humans than he is. Those two beings are Type-Mercury, and Primate Murder, a being who has absolute authority over killing humans.
** ''Literature/FateZero'' is only marginally better. Rider possesses a Reality Marble (which he shouldn't even have, since he is not a mage) that allows him to summon ''[[BadassArmy an entire army of Servants]]''. Caster possesses a book that can produce prana perpetually and summon [[EldritchAbomination Cthulhu]]. Berserker is unaffected by any skill-hindering status and is such a MasterSwordsman that he wipes the floor with fellow MasterSwordsman Saber Altria, and can make ''anything'' he touches into weapons (including ''an F-15 Jet Fighter''), and possesses a sword that jacks up his stats by a ridiculous margin, [[spoiler:to the point that it drains his master's prana to the point of death]].
** Servants of ''Literature/FateApocrypha'', anyone? With 14 Servants instead of the usual 7, at least 4 of them are ridiculous, even by Servant standards. Siegfried takes attacks ([[AchillesHeel that are not aimed at his back, of course]]) that would kill most Servants several times over as nothing more than mosquito bites and can fire {{Sword Beam}}s strong enough to kill a dragon. Vlad III has HomeFieldAdvantage that allows him to summon spikes and thorns ''anywhere'' within the field, including ''[[BodyHorror inside opponent's body]]'', and can [[OneWingedAngel turn into a vampire]] powerful enough to take on four Servants at once without a problem. Then there is Achilles, who possesses a grand total of ''five'' Noble Phantasms, which includes his famous NighInvulnerability, among other things. But the greatest example would be Karna, who, [[DramaPreservingHandicap while nerfed due to lack of enough prana to fight at full power]], can still laughingly beat the crap out of Siegfried ''and'' Vlad separately through a combination of possessing an ArmorOfInvincibility that lets him take 1/10th of ''all'' damage, a Noble Phantasm that clocks in at Anti-''Country'' power, and a single-use lightning spear that can ''[[KillTheGod kill the gods themselves]]''. Even among the "lesser" Servants, Mordred is a near equal to ''stay night's'' Saber stats and abilities-wise, and Semiramis has a giant flying fortress that gives her the ability to casually fire off [[WaveMotionGun EX-Rank Magical Attacks]].
** The 3 Playable Servants of ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' are capable of giving several of the Servants in ''Stay/Night'', ''Zero'', and ''Apocrypha'' a run for their money. Playable Saber has a skill that can revive her from death up to three times in battle, another skill that allows her to [[PowerCopying copy the class skills of other Servants]], and a Reality Marble-esque Noble Phantasm that allows her to [[YourMindMakesItReal do anything she believes she can do]]. Playable Archer is exactly the same being as his ''Stay/Night'' incarnation, [[spoiler:infinite swords and all]]. Playable Caster has curses so powerful that supplementary works state they ignore the same Magic Resistance stat that's normally the bane of this class, a Noble Phantasm that temporarily reduces the cost of her magic attacks to zero, and [[spoiler:by gathering all nine of her tails she becomes a PhysicalGod nearly on the level of Amatarasu herself]].
** Their opponents in the Moon Cell Holy Grail War are no slouches either; Shinji's Rider can summon her entire fleet of pirate ships to bombard her opponents with canon fire, Blackmore's Archer uses poison arrows that double as triggers for his explosion attacks, Alice's Caster can summon a nearly invincible creature to battle for her and restore her health to maximum after a set period of time, Ronnie's Lancer is a Vlad III who can fire spears that grow stronger the more his opponent sinned in life, Julius' Assassin is a famous martial artist who can defeat his opponents with one strike and possesses an invisibility skill that makes normal Presence Concealment look like a joke, Rin's Lancer is the same being from ''Stay/Night'', Leo's Saber can fire {{Sword Beam}}s equal in power to ''Stay/Night'' Saber's and [[ThePowerOfTheSun grows three times more powerful under the morning sun]]. Topping them all is the {{Final Boss}}es Saver, [[spoiler: a [[UsefulNotes/{{Buddhism}} Boddhisattva]] who's skills include damage reduction equal to how much health he has left, a passive debuff to the stats of other Servants in his presense, an a OneHitKill that kills the player if they fail to defeat Saver in time]].
** But none of the above can compare to [[WorldsStrongestMan Ado Edem]] from ''Literature/AngelNotes''. In a world where everyone is [[PersonOfMassDestruction a walking nuke]], he can effortlessly destroy {{Eldritch Abomination}}s powerful enough to [[ColonyDrop create copies of celestial bodies as large as the Moon and DROP them on Earth]], [[RealityWarper warp reality around them]] just by ''existing'', and literally has ''no concept of death''. Heck, he regularly [[CurbStompBattle one-shots]] them whenever they descend to Earth.
** First off, anyone who got the [[OneHitKill Mystic Eyes of Death Perception]]. To clarify, it's only obtained by surviving a NearDeathExperience, and even then it's not a guarantee to get it. If you ''do'' get it, however, it allows you to see the point of death of ''anything'', and then cut them to erase that thing from existence. Like People. Or Tables. Walls. [[PersonOfMassDestruction Buildings. Air.]] Or, ''[[EarthShatteringKaboom Earth]]''. It's not even limited to the physical. The more powerful of the two known users, [[Literature/TheGardenOfSinners Shiki Ryougi]], has managed to kill a psychic's power, an abstract prison and, in one special instance, ''the future''. At one point, she claims that she could even kill a god so long as it exists.
** Ciel of ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' was born to an entirely ordinary family, yet she also possessed enough magic circuits of high enough quality that her magic power is considered to be on the same level as Servants. Unfortunately this verges into BlessedWithSuck territory for her since her incredibly potent magical power made her a prime target as [[DemonicPossession Roa's next host]].
** In the same vein, Satsuki, the former TropeNamer of DemotedToExtra, has so much magical potential despite coming from a normal bloodline that she leapfrogs several stages of vampirism all the way to Dead Apostle status, something that normally happens only through artifical means or centuries of consuming human flesh. Not only this but a year after, during the events of VideoGame/MeltyBlood, she gains a Reality Marble called Depletion Garden that makes her a MagicEater. Then she also has the Mystic Eyes of Enchantment.
** Anyone who wields any of the [[RealityWarper True Magic]]. To obtain it, one must have a connection to [[AkashicRecords Akasha]], although it isn't properly explained. Divided into Five Domains, The First Magic has the power to [[ThePowerOfCreation deny]] [[PowerOfTheVoid nothingness]]. The Second Magic [[SpaceMaster manipulates]] {{Alternate Universe}}s. The Third Magic [[SoulPower materializes soul]]. The Fifth Magic ([[MindScrew seemingly]]) governs TimeTravel. (The Fourth is totally unknown.)
** Most of the Servants from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' are ''required'' to win the lottery just to be chosen by the Holy Grail as Servants. The Noble Phantasms they have can even be said to represent this trope (Noble Phantasms are a hero's most distinctive skill or weapon), and are pretty much determined by their legends. Lancer has a spear that [[RealityWarper will pierce your heart by reversing causality]] to ensure OneHitKill. Berserker can only be hurt by ''fatal'' attacks and possesses 12 lives that must be killed differently each. Saber has [[spoiler:Excalibur, which can fire {{Sword Beam}}s comparable to nukes, and Avalon, which grants almost CompleteImmortality]]. Archer can [[spoiler:copy any and all weapons that a human ever creates, including weaponry Noble Phantasms]]. Rider can [[spoiler:petrify people with her [[TakenForGranite Mystic Eyes of Petrification]], and summon powerful legendary beasts such as Pegasus]]. Gilgamesh possesses ''an innummerable amount of legendary weapons'' including god-binding chains and an ''Anti-World'' Noble Phantasm, while most Noble Phantasms top at Anti-Army and fewer still stand at Anti-Fortress. [[spoiler:And neither the chains nor the Anti-World weapon can be copied by anyone.]] Angra Mainyu is both a winner and a loser of the lottery. He is a Servant who is extremely weak compared other Servants and is nearly useless at fighting them. However, when fighting against humans, only two other beings in the setting are more effective at mass killing humans than he is. Those two beings are Type-Mercury, and Primate Murder, a being who has absolute authority over killing humans.
** ''Literature/FateZero'' is only marginally better. Rider possesses a Reality Marble (which he shouldn't even have, since he is not a mage) that allows him to summon ''[[BadassArmy an entire army of Servants]]''. Caster possesses a book that can produce prana perpetually and summon [[EldritchAbomination Cthulhu]]. Berserker is unaffected by any skill-hindering status and is such a MasterSwordsman that he wipes the floor with fellow MasterSwordsman Saber Altria, and can make ''anything'' he touches into weapons (including ''an F-15 Jet Fighter''), and possesses a sword that jacks up his stats by a ridiculous margin, [[spoiler:to the point that it drains his master's prana to the point of death]].
** Servants of ''Literature/FateApocrypha'', anyone? With 14 Servants instead of the usual 7, at least 4 of them are ridiculous, even by Servant standards. Siegfried takes attacks ([[AchillesHeel that are not aimed at his back, of course]]) that would kill most Servants several times over as nothing more than mosquito bites and can fire {{Sword Beam}}s strong enough to kill a dragon. Vlad III has HomeFieldAdvantage that allows him to summon spikes and thorns ''anywhere'' within the field, including ''[[BodyHorror inside opponent's body]]'', and can [[OneWingedAngel turn into a vampire]] powerful enough to take on four Servants at once without a problem. Then there is Achilles, who possesses a grand total of ''five'' Noble Phantasms, which includes his famous NighInvulnerability, among other things. But the greatest example would be Karna, who, [[DramaPreservingHandicap while nerfed due to lack of enough prana to fight at full power]], can still laughingly beat the crap out of Siegfried ''and'' Vlad separately through a combination of possessing an ArmorOfInvincibility that lets him take 1/10th of ''all'' damage, a Noble Phantasm that clocks in at Anti-''Country'' power, and a single-use lightning spear that can ''[[KillTheGod kill the gods themselves]]''. Even among the "lesser" Servants, Mordred is a near equal to ''stay night's'' Saber stats and abilities-wise, and Semiramis has a giant flying fortress that gives her the ability to casually fire off [[WaveMotionGun EX-Rank Magical Attacks]].
** The 3 Playable Servants of ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' are capable of giving several of the Servants in ''Stay/Night'', ''Zero'', and ''Apocrypha'' a run for their money. Playable Saber has a skill that can revive her from death up to three times in battle, another skill that allows her to [[PowerCopying copy the class skills of other Servants]], and a Reality Marble-esque Noble Phantasm that allows her to [[YourMindMakesItReal do anything she believes she can do]]. Playable Archer is exactly the same being as his ''Stay/Night'' incarnation, [[spoiler:infinite swords and all]]. Playable Caster has curses so powerful that supplementary works state they ignore the same Magic Resistance stat that's normally the bane of this class, a Noble Phantasm that temporarily reduces the cost of her magic attacks to zero, and [[spoiler:by gathering all nine of her tails she becomes a PhysicalGod nearly on the level of Amatarasu herself]].

[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* ''Franchise/DanganRonpa'' doesn't have superpowers per se, but almost every character has a talent - something that they're the absolute best at. These characters have the title of Ultimate X, where X is their talent. These talents can be anything and have any number of required abilities, but not all of them are created equal when it comes to killing games.
** On the 'absolutely useless' side, we have things like Sayaka Maizono (idol singer), Mondo Oowada (biker gang leader), Toko Fukawa (writer), Celestia Ludenberg (gambler), Junko Enoshima (Fashionista), Hiyoko Saionji (traditional dancer), Kaede Akamatsu (pianist), Gonta Gokuhara (etomologist), Korekiyo Shinguji (anthropologist), and Angie Yonaga (artist).
** For '[[HeartIsAnAwesomePower you wouldn't think it'd be useful, but they manage to make it work]]', we have the following:
*** Leon Kuwata, whose talent is baseball, though he really doesn't care for it and wishes to be a musician. [[spoiler: He uses his talent to pitch incriminating evidence through a set of shutters into the incinerator, as well as his strength to break Sayaka's wrist when she attacks him.]]
*** Hifumi Yamada, the ultimate Otaku, who manages to throw together a passable robot costume in a single night [[spoiler: to frame Hagakure]].
*** Yasuhiro Hagakure, the Ultimate Clairvoyant, is a border case, depending on if you think he can really predict the future or is just a con artist. He claims a 30% accuracy rate- and, in the end, he'll make three predictions, one of which is true and the other two false. [[spoiler: In the bad ending, the correct prediction is that his and Makoto's children will share a mother (Aoi). In the true ending, it's that there will be no more murders after the third trial.]] Coincidence? Maybe.
*** Kiyotaka Ishimaru, the Ultimate Moral Compass, would be a lot more helpful if people listened to him.
*** Gundham Tanaka, the Ultimate Breeder, is able to use his trained hamsters to [[spoiler: kill Nekomaru]].
*** Mahiru Koizumi, the Ultimate Photographer, is able to use her pictures to pin down important things about crime scenes.
*** Ibuki Mioda, the Ultimate Musician, has super-good hearing that she uses to help solve mysteries.
*** Ryoma Hoshi, the Ultimate Tennis Player, took down the mob with his tennis skills and some custom steel balls.
*** Ryota Mitarai, the Ultimate Animator, [[spoiler: whose anime can brainwash people and helped cause the Tragedy]].
*** Tsumugi Shirogane, the Ultimate Cosplayer, [[spoiler: is an even better MasterOfDisguise than the Ultimate Impostor]].
** For 'really useful', we have the following:
*** Kokichi Oma's Ultimate Supreme Leader talent makes him ''exceptionally'' good at hijacking the narrative for himself, and the skill at lying that comes with the package makes him ''really'' good at pinpointing culprits.
*** 'Service' talents (like Chisa's Ultimate Housekeeper talent and Kirumi's Ultimate Maid), since those tend to mean 'is good at ''anything'' that might be helpful to someone'. [[spoiler: Kirumi is so good at being a maid that she eventually became de facto ''Prime Minister'' of Japan.]]
*** Mikan, the Ultimate Nurse, who's good at taking care of others in general and is experienced enough in medical matters to conduct amateur (but highly useful) autopsies.
*** 'Combat' talents in general (Sakura the Ultimate Martial Artist, Peko the Ultimate Swordswoman, Tenko the ultimate Aikido Master), with the crowning example being Mukuro Ikusaba the Ultimate Soldier.
*** The 'Ultimate Detective' talent that Kyoko Kirigiri and Shuichi Saihara have; useful on its own and practically tailor-made for winning killing games.
** For pure StoryBreakerPower talents, we have:
*** Chihiro Fujisaki, the Ultimate Programmer, who's capable of making a functional AI given a few days and an old laptop.
*** [[spoiler: Junko Enoshima]], the [[AwesomenessByAnalysis Ultimate Analyst]], who's so good she essentially has PrescienceByAnalysis.
*** Yasuke Matsuda, the Ultimate Neurologist.
*** Miu Iruma, the Ultimate Inventor.
*** The Ultimate Good Luck talent, rather characteristically, varies dramatically. For Makoto, it mostly manifests as PlotArmor, while Nagito's far stronger luck means makes him nigh-unstoppable, but screws him over just as much as it saves him (for example, when he was accepted to Hope's Peak he was ''also'' diagnosed with two terminal diseases).
*** The absolute pinnacle of lottery winning is Izuru Kamukura, who had the lottery rigged in his favor by the Hope's Peak Steering Committee to give him literally ''every'' talent. He's luckier than Nagito, a better fighter than Sakura, smarter than [[spoiler: Junko]], and so on. The bad news? The process of giving him every talent made him an EmptyShell, so he has a very bad case of BystanderSyndrome and usually can't be bothered to use those talents for anything.
* ''Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}'' has so many examples it would be enough to fit its own page, from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' to ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and its various spinoffs.

Berserker is unaffected by any skill-hindering status and is such a MasterSwordsman that he wipes the floor with fellow MasterSwordsman Saber Altria, and can make ''anything'' he touches into weapons (including ''an F-15 Jet Fighter''), and possesses a sword that jacks up his stats by a ridiculous margin, [[spoiler:to the point that it drains his master's prana to the point of death]].
** Servants of ''Literature/FateApocrypha'', anyone? With 14 Servants instead of the usual 7, at least 4 of them are ridiculous, even by Servant standards. Siegfried takes attacks ([[AchillesHeel that are not aimed at his back, of course]]) that would kill most Servants several times over as nothing more than mosquito bites and can fire {{Sword Beam}}s strong enough to kill a dragon. Vlad III has HomeFieldAdvantage that allows him to summon spikes and thorns ''anywhere'' within the field, including ''[[BodyHorror inside opponent's body]]'', and can [[OneWingedAngel turn into a vampire]] powerful enough to take on four Servants at once without a problem. Then there is Achilles, who possesses a grand total of ''five'' Noble Phantasms, which includes his famous NighInvulnerability, among other things. But the greatest example would be Karna, who, [[DramaPreservingHandicap while nerfed due to lack of enough prana to fight at full power]], can still laughingly beat the crap out of Siegfried ''and'' Vlad separately through a combination of possessing an ArmorOfInvincibility that lets him take 1/10th of ''all'' damage, a Noble Phantasm that clocks in at Anti-''Country'' power, and a single-use lightning spear that can ''[[KillTheGod kill the gods themselves]]''. Even among the "lesser" Servants, Mordred is a near equal to ''stay night's'' Saber stats and abilities-wise, and Semiramis has a giant flying fortress that gives her the ability to casually fire off [[WaveMotionGun EX-Rank Magical Attacks]].
** The 3 Playable Servants of ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' are capable of giving several of the Servants in ''Stay/Night'', ''Zero'', and ''Apocrypha'' a run for their money. Playable Saber has a skill that can revive her from death up to three times in battle, another skill that allows her to [[PowerCopying copy the class skills of other Servants]], and a Reality Marble-esque Noble Phantasm that allows her to [[YourMindMakesItReal do anything she believes she can do]]. Playable Archer is exactly the same being as his ''Stay/Night'' incarnation, [[spoiler:infinite swords and all]]. Playable Caster has curses so powerful that supplementary works state they ignore the same Magic Resistance stat that's normally the bane of this class, a Noble Phantasm that temporarily reduces the cost of her magic attacks to zero, and [[spoiler:by gathering all nine of her tails she becomes a PhysicalGod nearly on the level of Amatarasu herself]].
** Their opponents in the Moon Cell Holy Grail War are no slouches either; Shinji's Rider can summon her entire fleet of pirate ships to bombard her opponents with canon fire, Blackmore's Archer uses poison arrows that double as triggers for his explosion attacks, Alice's Caster can summon a nearly invincible creature to battle for her and restore her health to maximum after a set period of time, Ronnie's Lancer is a Vlad III who can fire spears that grow stronger the more his opponent sinned in life, Julius' Assassin is a famous martial artist who can defeat his opponents with one strike and possesses an invisibility skill that makes normal Presence Concealment look like a joke, Rin's Lancer is the same being from ''Stay/Night'', Leo's Saber can fire {{Sword Beam}}s equal in power to ''Stay/Night'' Saber's and [[ThePowerOfTheSun grows three times more powerful under the morning sun]]. Topping them all is the {{Final Boss}}es Saver, [[spoiler: a [[UsefulNotes/{{Buddhism}} Boddhisattva]] who's skills include damage reduction equal to how much health he has left, a passive debuff to the stats of other Servants in his presense, an a OneHitKill that kills the player if they fail to defeat Saver in time]].
** But none of the above can compare to [[WorldsStrongestMan Ado Edem]] from ''Literature/AngelNotes''. In a world where everyone is [[PersonOfMassDestruction a walking nuke]], he can effortlessly destroy {{Eldritch Abomination}}s powerful enough to [[ColonyDrop create copies of celestial bodies as large as the Moon and DROP them on Earth]], [[RealityWarper warp reality around them]] just by ''existing'', and literally has ''no concept of death''. Heck, he regularly [[CurbStompBattle one-shots]] them whenever they descend to Earth!

* ''Kids Super Power Hour [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} with Shazam]]'' was an 1980s cartoon about Hero High with some live action music segments and an animated short of Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family who are an actual part of the Hero High setting. After the godlike Marvel Family, the big lottery winner is a Hero High student named Gloria Gal. Gloria is basically [[ComicBook/TeenTitans Donna Troy]] as a blonde. She has flight, telepathy, clairvoyance, superspeed, high levels of super strength and is NighInvulnerable, Not just the sole ActionGirl, she has the monopoly on competence. That's because every other student has either lame powers like Super bawling or they're like Trixie, a magician girl with great power...[[PowerIncontinence that seldom works]]. Her boyfriend Captain California, who the male students hold up as the best of them, is 3rd rate compared to Gloria. He's got a flying surfboard and a smile so brilliant he can use it as [[LightEmUp a flash attack]]. But he's a big case of MusclesAreMeaningless. Despite having a rather HeroicBuild, one time a mobster grabbed him from behind by the waist. Captain California couldn't struggle out of it and even ended up in the humiliating position of sitting on the mobster's lap while the guy was still holding him down.

** Also, Hiro Nakamura. With [[TimeMaster time travel, teleportation, and the ability to slow or stop time]], it would be up for grabs whether he or Peter displayed more PlotInducedStupidity were it not for the fact, of course, that Peter now ''also'' has these abilities (and almost everyone else's). Somewhat balanced by the fact Hiro's powers are abnormally difficult to master, which would explain why Peter doesn't take full advantage of them outside of his FutureBadass version, but when that balance was removed and Hiro gained at least ''near''-complete control over his power, it's shown to be just as powerful as it should be.
