But, to some extent it makes sense.
—If an extraterrestrial species can travel light years to reach the earth, it means that its technology is millions of years ahead of ours.
-That a mad scientist create artificial life forms better than humans makes sense, why would he bother spending resources to create clones or mutants that are as "weak" as a human?
It's not just advanced aliens that are superior to humans but even in rare cases of primitive aliens in fiction like the Na'vi are also superior to humans.
Even when Humans are the spacefaring advanced species, they're still inferior to every alien even with the same level of technology.
Where do DC Amazons and Atlanteans fit? They are earthlings, but I understand they are many times stronger than normal humans.

They are still examples.
Despite being superhumans, their average soldier is extremely weak in comparison to several alien species such as the Kryptonians or the Martians.
Pathetic Earthling
Uh, on the title quote, Ming the Merciless is quoted as saying "Puny earthlings! Who can save you now?" and is potholed as a Trope Namer. Is this from the comics, because the tagline of the movie was "Pathetic earthlings. Who can save you now?"
Am I awake or do I dream? The strangest pictures I have seen.
This description is a little to long, isn't it? It's not a very complicated trope.
I'm thinking of adding Discworld, because every other species seems either stronger or more powerful than humans, or are as strong as humans, but are in much more compact bodies functionally making them pound for pound stronger.
I finds this too cliche, particularly when Every Lifeforms(including any Artificial and altered ones as well just any natural ones) that their scientific names isn't <I>Homo Sapiens Sapiens</I> is superhuman
