* ''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.

** Edgeworth, in his spinoff games, has ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome logic]]'' his "special power".

* In ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'', Touma Kamijou has the [[AntiMagic Imagine]] [[PowerNullifier Breaker]], a right hand that cancels out powers and enchantments, making him able to defeat incredibly powerful characters that no one else can. The light novels establish that there can only be one Imagine Breaker in the entire universe. Two other characters with unique right hands show up, and [[HolyHandGrenade their]] [[LotusEaterMachine abilities]] are arguably more versatile than Imagine Breaker. However, these two eventually end up losing their right hand/arm and hence having their power weakened/lost entirely. In contrast, Touma's Imagine Breaker is unique in that it always returns to his hand (and regenerates it in the process) no matter what. Furthermore, the loss of Touma's right hand [[spoiler:unleashes [[SealedInAPersonShapedCan something incredibly powerful]]]] until it regenerates.

* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': With Akira it's at first his rare {{BioAugmentation}} wireless BrainComputerInterface that allows his VirtualSidekick Alpha to aid him in various ways with her superior detection, AugmentedReality, and PeoplePuppets assistance. Though from part way through the story it's also the forgotten quasi BulletTime technique Alpha teaches him called compressed time, that other hunters need an extremely harmful stimulant in order to use. It's noted multiple times, that neither of those would amount to much if it wasn't for Akira being a {{Determinator}} who can power through often CastFromHitpoints maneuvers that defy sanity.
* ''LightNovel/ReMonster'': Rou's CannibalismSuperpower allowing him to copy the powers of those he devours, and eventual ability to fuse those powers (and to gain power by [[ExtremeOmnivore devouring magical items]]). While [[ReincarnateInAnotherWorld reincarnating from another world]] does provide some basis for organizing his tribal [[MightMakesRight rule-of-the-jungle]] society into something resembling civilization, there are actually several other reincarnators out there.
* In ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': In SAO, Kirito is the only player to acquire the DualWielding unique skill, which the system granted to the player with the [[SuperReflexes fastest reaction time]]. This skill bolstered his already powerful status and had him overshadowing nearly every player. Two swords allowed him to deal double the damage, while they also allowed cross-blocking as a much more efficient defense than one sword. It is what enabled Kirito to solo the Gleam-Eyes boss on his own and what he uses whenever he ''gets serious''. [[spoiler:It turns out this was {{invoked}} by [[BigBad Kayaba]], who decided that whoever obtained the DualWielding unique skill would almost certainly be TheHero with the ability to challenge and defeat him.]]

* In '''VideoGame/Conception2ChildrenOfTheSevenStars'', TheHero has the ability to generate a power ether field. This allows him to lead a team into the [[DungeonCrawling Labyrinth]] to hunt the source of the monsters. Before he was around, the [[KidHero Disciples]] were forced to wait outside the labyrinths and kill monsters as they came out.

* ''LightNovel/BeastTamerAndTheCatGirl'':
** Beast Tamers are normally only able to control one single, normal animal at a time. Rein, however, is not only able to tame multiple animals at once but can also form contracts with the Strongest Species, humanoid races with incredible power. Doing so gives Rein 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 Rein's hometown were just as capable, but his village was destroyed when Rein was twelve years old, leaving him the sole survivor.
** Later in the story, it is suggested by one of the Fairy twins that Rein may not have any upper limit to his potential growth. All mortals in the setting are subject to such a limit, a point at which they can become no stronger no matter what they do. The only known exception to this is the hero Arios, as he's descended from a prior hero who was given the "Limit Breaker" ability by the gods. It is for this reason Arios is considered the only one potentially capable of fighting the Demon Lord. Sora theorizes that Rein's PowerCopying may work in much the same way: Offering a way for him to become continually stronger with every contract he forms.

* The ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'' series has a fusion mechanic that grants protagonist Yuri a way to fuse with monsters and take a multitude of forms that grant him a unique and varied skillset. The sequels introduces more characters that can do fusion but they are nowhere near as versatile as Yuri.

* ''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.]]

** Beast Tamers are normally only able to control one single, normal animal at a time. Rein, however, is not only able to tame multiple animals at once, he can form contracts with the Strongest Species, humanoid races with incredible power. Doing so gives Rein their powers via PowerCopying, such as CatGirl Kanade's physical power and dragon girl Tania's magical power.

** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'': Nero has the Devil Bringer, a demonic hand that enables him to hookshot over obstacles, channel demonic power to make charged shots, grab enemies, and beat them down. His sword can also be "revved up" to do more damage. Also, his Devil Trigger is the only one in the game (aside from Trish in SE) that doesn't make him look like a demon. Contrast this with Dante, his different Devil Arms, and the four major styles he can switch through at will.
** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'': Nero has his Devil Bringer taken by [[spoiler:Vergil to regain Yamato]] so he has the new Devil Breaker weapons to make up for it, a new color up skill to enhance his shots [[spoiler:and gains a new Devil Trigger form that does change his appearance]]. Newcomer V also has a completely different fighting style that uses a trio of Familiars to attack for him, one of which is his Devil Trigger analog, while he deals the finishing blow, [[spoiler:Dante himself gains an unique asset himself, the Sin Devil Trigger to make things different for him.]]

->"What makes ''you'' so special?"

* Adam Jensen in ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' has the dubious privilege of being the human augmentation visionary David Sarif's personal killer cyborg, meaning that he is packed to the teeth (literally) with the most advanced cybertech money can afford, which makes him uniquely suited to deal with the GovernmentConspiracy targeting Sarif's company. In an optional SidequestSidestory, it is revealed to be [[spoiler:a consequence of his ''actual'' unique asset: a rare genetic condition that suppresses his immune system's rejection of cybernetic enhancements without the need for neuroposine, which most other cyborgs are effectively addicted to]].

** 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.
** Later in the story, it is suggested by one of the Fairy twins that Rain may not have any upper limit to his potential growth.

Sora theorizes that Rain's PowerCopying may work in much the same way: Offering a way for him to become continually stronger with every contract he forms.

* ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'': The titular character is not just a [[SealedEvilInACan Jinchuriki]], one of nine people with a powerful monster called a Tailed Beast sealed inside him, he's also one to the strongest Beasts, Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox.
* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'': In several of the series, the protagonist (or protagonist team) is the only one in possession of the eponymous machines, starting from the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''--often, it is a SuperPrototype. ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'', ''Anime/TurnAGundam'', ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]'', and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE Gundam AGE]]'' all follow this pattern.
* In ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'', Touma Kamijou has the [[AntiMagic Imagine]] [[PowerNullifier Breaker]], a right hand that cancels out powers and enchantments, making him able to defeat incredibly powerful characters that no one else can. The light novels establish that there can only be one Imagine Breaker in the entire universe.

Furthermore, the loss of Touma's right hand [[spoiler:unleashes [[SealedInAPersonShapedCan something incredibly powerful]]]] until it regenerates.

* Early in ''Manga/DragonBall'', while it is established that martial arts prowess and superhuman physical abilities are not uncommon, for much of Dragon Ball, Goku is one of two known people in the entire world (the other being Master Roshi) who can utilize the powerful ranged energy attack known as the Kamehameha. Goku's physical endurance is also key to his success for much of his childhood, and it is established in the very first Chapter.
* ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'': Illya and Miyu are Magical Girls, allowing them to enter the Mirror World and engage the Class Cards. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that, more than that, the two of them are both Vessels of the Holy Grail, and as such have access to a tremendous amount of magical power that other potential Magical Girls could never gain.]]

* In ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS'', it's established that every Duelist has [[SignatureMove Skills]], which are one-use perks that complement the Duelist's play style or strategy. Playmaker's Skill stands out in its ability to obtain new Link Monsters in the middle of a Duel, which then become physical cards for future use. [[spoiler:This makes the reveal that Revolver has the same Skill a lot more impactful.]]

* In ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': In SAO, Kirito is the only player to acquire the DualWielding unique skill, which the system granted to the player with the [[SuperReflexes fastest reaction time]]. This skill bolstered his already powerful status and had him overshadowing nearly every player.

* ''VideoGame/GodHand'': the player character Gene has the titular God Hand that gives him the fighting chance against the crooks in the game. Though it's revealed later that one of the bosses, Azel, possesses the other God Hand (the left one, to be specific). MirrorBoss ensues with the two.
* In ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'', the Jedi Exile is one of the few surviving Jedi and the only one who's actually still Jedi-ing in public rather than hiding or working secretly. This attracts all ''sorts'' of enemies, particularly the BigBadDuumvirate that is the primary threat to the Republic. Also, the Exile [[spoiler:draws their Force powers from other people]], allowing them to make Force bonds ''really'' easily, which means that most of the party is Force-sensitive and thus potential new Jedi.
* In the text-based RPG ''Mobile Armored Marine'', you are the only person with PoweredArmor on your mission.

* In ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'', the main character has a [[HollywoodHacking hacked cell-phone]] which gives him access to much of the city's infrastructure. While the police can access some of the infrastructure, they cannot control as much and have to call into MissionControl to do it, while you can do it much quicker.
** Aidan's BulletTime effect is also unique to him. In-universe, it represents his quick reflexes.
* Faith in ''VideoGame/MirrorsEdge'' has LeParkour on her side, and possibly SuperStrength as well (seeing as how she can take out a fully armored police officer in only a few hits).
* ''VideoGame/Warhammer40000SpaceMarine'': Captain Titus has an innate resistance to warpcraft that is never really explained in-game.
* All the main protagonists of the ''VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon'' series have a SuperReflexes power (either from the start or as a SecondHourSuperpower) which manifests as a limited ability to enter BulletTime and is implied to be possible thanks to PsychicPowers. It's also mentioned in [[AllThereInTheManual the first game's manual]] that the player character of that game is the only one able to use GunsAkimbo properly because, thanks to those super reflexes, he was specifically trained to do so.
* In ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'', the player characters from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' onward have an ability called "The Wild Card" which lets them switch between multiple [[SummonMagic Personas]] at will.[[note]]While the first two games allowed the entire party to switch between Personas, each member could only use a limited set of Personas to their full potential, while the protagonists from ''3'' onward can use ''all'' Personas equally effectively.[[/note]] [[spoiler:Subverted in ''VideoGame/Persona5'', when it turns out "Black Mask", TheHeavy for the villains, has the same power.]]

* The PlayerCharacter of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' is sucked into the SpiritWorld at the start of the game and branded with a mark that lets them quickly close even the largest breaches between reality and the Fade, which TheLegionsOfHell are using to invade. Since the Inquisitor is the only one with such power, they are instrumental to defeating the demons. Eventually, they gain the ability to perform a LimitBreak that opens a rift to suck demons back into the Fade and does heavy damage to everyone in a certain area.
* The Watcher in ''VideoGame/PillarsOfEternity'' has the ability to interact with disembodied souls and others' past incarnations, which they can use to, among other things, obtain the long-forgotten information about an AncientConspiracy that had orchestrated the hollowborn plague. It's not a strictly ''unique'' ability, but it is rare, and none of the other Watchers encountered are in a position to help.

* John Marston from ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' has Dead Eye Targeting, which slows down time and enables the player to aim and shoot at a practically superhuman level. [[spoiler:His son in the epilogue also has this ability]].
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': Mario was at first distinct due to the fact that he could jump (unlike the Goombas) and could run relatively faster than his enemies.
* 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.
* In ''[[http://www.kongregate.com/games/kreig13/forbidden-arms?acomplete=forbidden Forbidden Arms]]'', Ichirou wields Mumei, a demonic sword that is powered by BloodMagic.
* In ''VideoGame/TheBureauXCOMDeclassified'', William Carter is the only XCOM agent who can analyze the battlefield in an instant, give orders to the other agents on the fly, and react to enemy actions with nigh-superhuman speed. [[spoiler:It's actually an [[EnergyBeing Etherial]] named Asaru who is controlling Carter like a puppet and using its psychic abilities to augment its chosen human vessel]]. Near the end of the game, one of three other characters exhibit the same abilities ([[spoiler:as Carter forces Asaru to leave him, resulting in Asaru finding another vessel]]).

* Adam Jensen in ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' has the dubious privilege of being the human augmentation visionary David Sarif's personal killer cyborg, meaning that he is packed to the teeth (literally) with the most advanced cybertech money can afford, which makes him uniquely suited to deal with the GovernmentConspiracy targeting Sarif's company. In an optional SidequestSidestory, it is revealed to be [[spoiler:a consequence of his ''actual'' unique asset: a rare genetic condition that suppresses his immune system's rejection of cybernetic enhancements without the need for neuroposine, which most other cyborgs are effectively addicted to]].

* In the lore for ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'', Samus Aran is the sole bearer of a Chozo Power Suit that is leaps and bounds better then the Federation and Space Pirate equivalents. 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 the SA-X, managed to steal Samus' Suit and use it against her. Later on in ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'' the Metroid vaccine she is injected with makes her the only person that can fight the X Parasites. [[spoiler:In ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'' this ratchets up and her developing Metroid powers gives her their signature LifeDrinker abilities that every game was fought over, likely making her the most dangerous being in existence.]]
* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'':
** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'': Nero has the Devil Bringer, a demonic hand that enables him to hookshot over obstacles, channel demonic power to make charged shots, grab enemies, and beat them down. His sword can also be "revved up" to do more damage. Also, his Devil Trigger is the only one in the game (aside from Trish in SE) that doesn't make him look like a demon. Contrast this with Dante, his different Devil Arms, and the four major styles he can switch through at will.
** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'': Nero has his Devil Bringer taken by [[spoiler:Vergil to regain Yamato]] so he has the new Devil Breaker weapons to make up for it, a new color up skill to enhance his shots [[spoiler:and gains a new Devil Trigger form that does change his appearance]]. Newcomer V also has a completely different fighting style that uses a trio of Familiars to attack for him, one of which is his Devil Trigger analog, while he deals the finishing blow, [[spoiler:Dante himself gains an unique asset himself, the Sin Devil Trigger to make things different for him.]]
* The Player Character of ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'' has [[{{Synchronization}} their lifeforce linked to Lyria]], allowing them to use her power to summon Primal Beasts. If the Player Character dies in battle, the battle can still go on, but you won't be able to use your summons unless they're revived and re-enter battle.
* The Hero of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII'' is immune to curses. This allows him to survive the initial curse cast on Castle Trodain, letting him tag along on Trode's journey, leading eventually to the game's resolution. Post-game, it's even revealed that [[spoiler: having a curse on him is what [[CursedWithAwesome let him be immune to further curses]].]]
* The protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' is the only (still-living) human character 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.]]
* Kris, the character the player controls in ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'', is the only character that contains a human SOUL. This lets them seal the Dark Fountains that are prophesised to destroy the world.
* In ''VideoGame/CatQuestII'', those with Kingsblood (reincarnations of the first kings) can enter EldritchLocation[=s=] and fast-travel through them. Much, much faster than crossing the ocean between countries...fortunately, the kings are not interested in using this power for war.

* 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.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'': The world hasn't seen any Espers since the end of the Magi war. So protagonist Terra Branford's status as a HalfHumanHybrid bridging Espers and humanity is a large part of the plot. [[spoiler:The destruction of the Espers takes her focal viewpoint out of the way and Celes takes over as the lead, who is the only other natural mage of the party.]]
* Ironically, despite being regarded as a psychic ChildProdigy, Razputin's unique protagonist asset in ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' aren't his psychic powers at all (which are [[JackOfAllStats varied but not terribly rare or uniquely powerful when considered individually]]), but his [[TheLightfooted acrobatics training]]--nagivating the AlienGeometries of mental worlds is much easier for an athletic mental gymnast than a SquishyWizard.

* In ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'', Hiccup is the only person riding a Night Fury. No one else has one. In ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2'', it's speculated that Toothless may very well be the LastOfHisKind, justifying the trope.

* In the lore for ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'', Samus Aran is the sole bearer of a Chozo power suit that is leaps and bounds better then the Federation and Space Pirate equivalents. 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.

[[spoiler:In ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'' this ratchets up and her developing Metroid powers gives her their signature LifeDrinker abilities that every game was fought over, likely making her the most dangerous being in existence.]]

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': Admitted to the elite [[ExtranormalInstitute Beacon Academy]] two years early, [[TheUnchosenOne Ruby Rose]] has developed astronishing skills from an early age because she is [[HeroicSpirit so driven]] to become a [[HunterOfMonsters Huntress]] who protects people like [[IdealHero storybook heroes]]. Being born with rare [[MagicalEye silver eyes]] gives her the ability to slay the [[AnimalisticAbomination Grimm]] with the [[LightEmUp power of Light]]; it also [[BornWinner endows her]] with the potential to become one of the [[WorldsGreatestWarrior world's greatest warriors]]. The BigBad has been hunting Silver-Eyed Warriors for nefarious reasons, TheHeavy has a [[AchillesHeel unique vulnerability]] to this power, and the BigGood thinks she has an "unquantifiable spark" that allows her to inspire people -- [[TheChosenOne including him]] -- even in the darkest times.

** 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".
