* ''LightNovel/BeastTamerAndTheCatGirl'':
** At the start of the series, Rain is part of the hero party led by Arios, stated to be the only person who can defeat the Demon Lord. The reason Arios alone can do this is because he's descended from a previous hero who had made a contract with the gods. Part of that deal was the old hero gained an ability called "Limit Breaker", which allowed the hero to grow stronger, unbound by the Growth Limit that all other mortal creatures are subject to. This, and items that Arios and his party are questing to retrieve, are required to confront and defeat the Demon Lord.
** Beast Tamers are normally only able to control one single, normal animal at a time. Rain, however, is not only able to tame multiple animals at once, he can form contracts with the Strongest Races, humanoid races with incredible power. Doing so gives Rain their powers via PowerCopying, such as CatGirl Kanade's physical power and dragon girl Tania's magical power. It's implied that all Beast Tamers in Rain's hometown were just as capable, but his village was destroyed when Rain was twelve years old, leaving him the sole survivor. It's been suggested that Rain's ability to grow powerful with contracts with the Strongest Races means he may no Growth Limit like Arios even though he doesn't have "Limit Breaker".

Chapter 2 of Deltarune suggests that monsters can also have determination, and that a different force controls how saving works.


* The protagonists of both ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'' are the only (still-living) human characters among a cast of monsters. This makes them special due to humans in the series having [[TheDeterminator Determination]], which manifests in the series as an in-universe SaveScumming ability. [[spoiler: The only other monster characters who possess Determination are Undyne, who can access it for a HeroicSecondWind but whose body literally ''melts'' when she tries to use it, and Flowey, who was the result of experiments to grant monsters Determination, though the process also afflicted him with a LackOfEmpathy.]]

** The PlayerCharacter of ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'' ends up with immunity to disease as a result of getting more-or-less cured of Corprus[[note]]Corprus grants immunity to other diseases, and the "cure" technically wasn't a cure -- you still ''have'' Corprus, just with all the harmful features removed[[/note]]. For most of the rest of the main quest, this is mainly prophetically important, but towards the end it is pointed out that being immune to Corprus and Blight makes you the perfect person to raid into the Red Mountain region and Dagoth Ur.

* In the world of ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' control of the elements is given to those with a Vision by the Archons. The protagonist is unique in that they don't need a Vision to use elements and simply synchronizes at Archon statues to use their respective land's element. This gives them a unique ability to traverse Teyvat and meet every Archon.

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': Izuku Midoriya, also known as Deku, starts the story as [[MuggleBornOfMages one of a dwindling population of people with no Qurik]] in a world where EveryoneIsASuper. He gets his chance to fulfill his dream of being a professional Hero when All Might, Midoriya's idol, passes his Quirk "One For All" to Midoriya. This itself is unusual, as Quirks are normally genetic in nature and typically derived from one's parents, with occasional mutations into something completely different, but also not entirely unique as the series GreaterScopeVillain, All For One, can steal and transfer Quirks at will and played a role in One For All's creation. All Might also started out Quirkless, the same as Midoriya, and Midoriya is the ninth wielder of the Quirk. What makes Midoriya unique in the setting in general and among the previous holders of One For All in particular is that, by the time it reaches Midoriya, One For All has developed to a point that he can [[spoiler:access the Quirks of the previous holders, as well as speak to them through remnants of them stored within One For All along with their Quirks]]. So where previous holders had increased strength and those with Quirks had them boosted by One For All, Midoriya is the only user capable of [[spoiler:using a wide range of abilities and being able to actively call upon guidance from his predecessors in a way none who came before him could]].

Later on, his quirklessness is revealed to [[spoiler:have saved him from an unforeseen consequence of possessing One For All, as any user with an existing quirk would suffer RapidAging in a few short years of receiving One For All. All Might was the first to discover this, having himself been quirkless. By Midoriya's time, not only is the number of quirkless people diminished, but One For All has accumulated too much power for even a person with a quirk to use, meaning that Deku is highly likely to be the very last user of One For All.]]

* The ability must be relevant to the story's {{Conflict}} in some way. Puzzle solving skills in a mystery novel are this trope, combat prowess in a romantic comedy is not (at least in general). However, this asset does not necessarily have to directly lead to the conflict's resolution (i.e. the protagonist has a powerful SuperMode that helps out in combat, but the villain is defeated by a DeusExMachina instead). The ability must also be noticeably demonstrated. InformedAbility, OffScreenMomentOfAwesome, and implied cases are not true examples.

The power suit's abilities vary game to game, but tends to include being able to interface with Chozo tech and integrate abilities into the suit, scan enemies and environments for weaknesses, transform into a one meter diameter ball for navigation, and survive contact against the franchise's eponymous Metroids. Most notably, two of Samus' most apocalyptic foes, Dark Samus and SA-X, managed to steal Samus' suit and use it against her.

* ''Literature/CradleSeries'': Lindon has four of them, contrasting Yerin's BoringButPractical MagicKnight style, and Eithan's ConfusionFu SkilledAndStrong style.
** First, he has pure [[{{Mana}} madra]]. This isn't actually unique; every child is born with pure madra. But since it's only useful as AntiMagic, everyone always quickly gives it up for something else once they reach the rank of Copper (which is generally before they're teenagers). As an adult with pure madra, he has an unexpected trick up his sleeve, and has an advantage in soulsmithing.
** Second, he split his core in two. On the surface, this is a disadvantage; he has to raise two separate cores instead of one, and all he got was defense against a few extremely rare abilities that target cores. But having a second core means he can fill one of them with a different type of madra and still keep his pure madra in the other one.
** Third, he walks the Blackflame Path. This is an extremely dangerous Path that built the Blackflame Empire, only for the imperial family to die off on their own as the madra crippled their bodies and minds. But Lindon's overpowered HealingFactor, combined with his ability to switch to a pure core to take the stress off and clean his madra channels, means he can use the Blackflame Path with no danger.
** Fourth, he's the only known member of his world with [[spoiler:a Presence, in this case Dross. Essentially a combat ArtificialIntelligence living inside his head, Dross gives Lindon perfect TrueSight, PhotographicMemory, and reliable (though not perfect) CombatPrecognition]]. This is an item normally exclusive to the [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Abidan]], and Lindon got it by [[KarmicJackpot being nice to a literal piece of trash]].

* ''Fanfic/FateRevelationOnline'': Discussed; as in Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} canon, people are born with an affinity for various elements of either the Western or Eastern arrays. Sometimes, however, people can have a "Rare Element" that does not match any of these, and is often unique. The players semi-jokingly refer to these people as "Protagonists" since it's such a common anime plot for the main character to have some rare special ability. Rosalia mentions that many people have Rare Elements that are [[CripplingOverspecialization too specialized and weird to make good use of]]; these people usually don't get called Protagonists. Shirou (as in canon) has the Sword element, which is even more useful in a game completely built around swords.

So where previous holders had increased strength and those with Quirks had them boosted by One For All, Midoriya is the only user capable of [[spoiler:using a wide range of abilities and being able to actively call upon guidance from his predecessors in a way none who came before him could]].

* VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog, every character is noted to be quick on their feet, but Sonic stands above them all as ''the'' fastest thing alive. Mildly subverted as there are two characters who can match his speeds; EvilKnockoff Metal Sonic, and Antihero Shadow the Hedgehog.
