Comes Great Responsibility	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Super Heroes are expected to have a higher moral standard. No abusing your powers for personal gain. Sometimes this is enforced by the authority that granted their abilities, but most often, even if they are aware of the Mundane Utility, it is self-imposed. What constitutes "abuse"? That gets into a nebulous area. This trope usually involves the more obviously violent powers that could kill someone in a few seconds or violate a person's integrity, but even good powers can make bad people. However, if your family is down on their luck financially, what's a little arm wrestling wager at the pub going to hurt? Mostly this is a moral stance superheroes took early in their career to make sure they never hit the slippery slope to evil-dom. This happens fast; arm-wrestling for money at the pub will often signal temptation to evil within a few episodes, if not that very one. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })This was lampshaded in an episode of Bewitched where Samantha used her powers to do something but was seen by a mortal who wasn't supposed to see her. So she's considering "freezing" them until she can figure out what to do about it. But to do that, she would have to freeze others who would miss them if they weren't around for a few weeks while the person was gone, so they'd have to be frozen. She sort of realizes the ridiculousness of this when she considers maybe she should just freeze the entire human race, i.e. all mortals. Once you get started with potentially bad actions, each subsequent one becomes easier until you've crossed every line. In the hands of a poor writer, it is easy for this to turn into a Family-Unfriendly Aesop or Fantastic Aesop. For instance, a character Cursed with Awesome powers and unable to enjoy them in any way, trapped in a life they didn't choose can easily become You Can't Fight Fate and Hard Work Hardly Works, and is usually a one way ticket to Wangst-ville. It can also degenerate into the idea that benefiting from one's own talents or skills is wrong, and that trying to help others will only end in disaster, but that you are still obligated to do so even knowing that Failure Is the Only Option. The weight of the responsibility of the said great powers is often why heroes have Chronic Hero Syndrome. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Superheroes who follow this trope often become The Cape. Outside the superhero genre, this is not often a trope relating to the main characters, but many a Reasonable Authority Figure is deeply aware of the responsibilities that come with his post. Indeed, one way to detect whether such a figure is good is how he regards the misery or deaths of the faceless masses; even not knowing any of them, the Reasonable Authority Figure will not regard them as A Million Is a Statistic and if he must sacrifice them, will regard it as Dirty Business. Contrasted by Muggle Power and With Great Power Comes Great Perks. If the powers result in the character losing any sense of responsibility, see Drunk with Power and With Great Power Comes Great Insanity. Examples:

Comes Great Responsibility / int_1bdeba5a	comment	Occasionally averted in X-Men when a mutant is shown using their powers to aid in doing their day job. For example, Colossus used his superhuman strength and endurance to work as a farmer (in the comics) and a construction worker (on the TV series) before joining the team. While he is using his powers to do productive work for society, it is clear that he is getting paid for it. This was (and still is) a common trait of Communist superheroes (and supervillains!) in comics. Most if not all of them are on the government payroll. It's superhumans from non-autocratic countries who have the freedom to use their powers as they choose. This was also demonstrated in the 1990s Sleepwalker comics with Anti-Villain Spectra. Her initial criminal schemes give her amazing superhuman powers and transform her into a supervillain, and she seems ready to become a criminal, but by the next time Sleepwalker runs into her she's using her light-projecting abilities to make a living working for a glassware manufacturer.

Harry Osborn also refuses to accept any responsibility for his actions or for his condition. In reality, there is no one to blame for Harry's disease, but Harry blames Spider-Man and Menken for his crappy life, especially after he becomes the Goblin. Specifically, Menken had in fact framed Harry for Electro's creation so he can take over Oscorp, which still isn't a good way to handle responsibility of running a company, but Spider-Man's case, his apparent refusal to help him was only using his own responsibility to protect his friends and family, including Harry. Who still becomes the Green Goblin and decides to kill Gwen in retaliation. By the end, seems Harry now plans to use his power to create the future that Oscorp envisioned, starting with forming the Sinister Six.

Comes Great Responsibility / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files Wizard Harry Dresden embraces this trope, saying that he "follows the Tao of Peter Parker." He means it, too. Thomas Raith comments on this in the Dresdenverse story Backup, saying that Harry has a "half-divine, half-insane philosophy" about responsibility that "he's cobbled together from the words of saints and comic books." Subverted by many other wizards of the White Council. As long as they do not use black magic, they are free to use their powers for personal gain. If the White Council did not allow it, it would cause a civil war among the wizards. The Merlin, head of the White Council, however accepts this trope; he just interprets responsibility differently than Harry. Molly Carpenter arguing against her mother cites the Parable of Talents as a reason for her to continue practicing magic. Harry immediately points out to a Father this trope says the same idea, only simpler. The Father agrees but notes that "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" is harder to work into a sermon. Archangel Uriel and other angels hint at the idea of this trope. Uriel is one of God's strongest and most dangerous servants. However, as his Duty is the protection of Free Will, then respecting the choices mortals make, even if they are crimes of horrendous evil or just stupid, must be respected. Uriel states he has the power to destroy galaxies, but when a mortal villain mouths off to him and flicks the angel's nose, Uriel can only stand still.

This was actually subverted in the later Mystic Force season, though they were punished for it and technically later teams never had Zordon's three rules. Even the Theme Song says so. They know the fate of the world is lying in their hands. They know to only use their weapons for defense. Dustin of Power Rangers Ninja Storm got a light scolding from Sensei for using his abilities to stop a crime - an orchestrated hit on a store. Apparently they really are only supposed to fight the Monster of the Week and nothing else. Years earlier, Justin got scolded for teleporting to safety when he was falling out of a tree and could have broken his neck (or otherwise been seriously injured). Appropriately, Super Sentai, and by extent Power Rangers, was inspired by Japanese Spider-Man.

He's so devoted to the concepts of justice and law that he's letting bad stuff happen because he doesn't have proof of it. Also, every single person in the school club Future Superheroes of America is this way by definition. On the other hand, all of Team Kimba use their powers to make their lives easier, doing everything from Fey magically drying her long hair every morning, to Generator using her powers to earn money working in the Whateley Academy sewers. While Phase has few compunctions about using his powers to benefit himself through Mundane Utility, he is also very self-conscious about both the risks of misusing them and obligation to use them constructively, to the level of Chronic Hero Syndrome at times. While he explicitly denies wanting to be a superhero, he's been called out at least once for espousing this position in a lot more words.

In every single series, the Riders' powers come from the same source as their enemies, but the Riders choose to do good with them. This got special notice in the Post-Script Episodes of Kamen Rider Wizard, where the villain tries to claim that the Riders hide behind a facade of "justice" but are no better than the monsters they slay; the Riders counter by saying that they fight to protect humanity's peace and freedom against those who would destroy both, rather than for some arbitrary definition of justice. In Kamen Rider Gaim, Takatora Kureshima believes in this in the form of noblesse oblige; later in the series, his brother deconstructs it while they fight each other: In Kamen Rider Drive, Gou/Kamen Rider Mach uses the same Density Shift powers as the Roidmudes to intimidate some criminals for information; Shinnosuke/Drive chews him out for this, saying that they have a responsibility to be better than that. It helps that Shinnosuke was a By-the-Book Cop even before he became Drive.

At first Otto seems to be describing this very trope, but he perverts the very concept right after by proclaiming it's to do it for "those beneath us, whether they understand it or not." Peter, already beside himself in grief over his father-figure and mentor in this continuity becoming such a twisted man, immediately flips his lid.

Embrace them, but still don't take up the hero position? Well, if someone could have been helped by your abilities and you refused to use them, good luck dealing with the guilt. You can't get rid of them most of the time, even if you want to, and it still makes you a target.

While he creates his own company, gets his degree and creates an army to protect New York City with, it ends up alienating him from virtually everyone because of his massive ego. When the Goblin King brings everything down around his ears, Otto's forced to accept that Peter was the better Spidey because he allowed himself to have those chances to be better slip away because he felt he didn't deserve them. This is turned on its head in Nick Spencer's first issue of Amazing Spider-Man as a Take That! towards everything after that - Peter is exposed as a plagiarist when it's revealed that a paper Otto wrote to get his diploma in Empire State University was similar to what Otto actually wrote (in Superior, a man caught note of what "Peter" had done, but Otto stops him by using one of his old devices to pretend Otto had convinced him to accept it). After he's fired from the Daily Bugle, laughed at by Mary Jane and brushed off by Aunt May, Peter comes to realize that he screwed up big time - he should have dumped everything Otto had built up (he even admits the paper Otto wrote was on a subject he knew about just as well) and by taking in everything Otto built, he wasn't taking responsibility for it.

She can usually line up global transport and any needed equipment from people she had helped in the past, at any hour of the day, to anywhere on Earth. She is reluctant to use it for her personal gain from an ethical standpoint, but in a more practical sense, she knows that abusing this ability might make it go away, since it's tied to her character and reputation.

Comes Great Responsibility / int_90c73dda	comment	The Animorphs agree to an unwritten code of conduct in the way they use their powers: don't use them to steal, don't morph sentient beings, and so on. In early books they're fairly studious about this code, aside from their tendency to use their powers for opening-chapter hijinks. Later in the David Trilogy they break the rules for the first time, leading to new Sixth Ranger David deciding to take that idea and run with it. In the aftermath, the Animorphs swear to follow their code more strictly. They don't. Jake also notes in MM 3 that their power traps them in a bind: they have enough power to fight and make them responsible, but they don't have enough power to actually win.

Both believe in this, but they disagree on what their responsibility is. Peter believes that his responsibility is to help other people and to take care of Aunt May. Connors believes that his responsibility is to give everyone else his powers. More explored in The Amazing Spider Man 2, where Max uses all of his power as Electro to try to make everyone else feel as powerless as he once felt before getting his powers. Harry Osborn also refuses to accept any responsibility for his actions or for his condition. In reality, there is no one to blame for Harry's disease, but Harry blames Spider-Man and Menken for his crappy life, especially after he becomes the Goblin. Specifically, Menken had in fact framed Harry for Electro's creation so he can take over Oscorp, which still isn't a good way to handle responsibility of running a company, but Spider-Man's case, his apparent refusal to help him was only using his own responsibility to protect his friends and family, including Harry. Who still becomes the Green Goblin and decides to kill Gwen in retaliation. By the end, seems Harry now plans to use his power to create the future that Oscorp envisioned, starting with forming the Sinister Six.

He even tells Corvo outright that what he choses to do with his newfound powers is entirely up to him. In a meta sense, Corvo's (and the player's) actions throughout the game drastically alter the tone of the setting. It could thus be said that this trope is the entire game's moral.

A few minutes after doing so, their powers are stripped away by a side-effect of the Stone of Threbe's presence, and they spend the rest of the episode wishing they'd used their powers more responsibly. The loss of the girls' powers isn't directly related to their misuse, but it seems like Karma chose to bite them in the butt. Which leads to Fridge Logic and a Broken Aesop since cleaning Blunk up was supposed to keep his stink from hurting Hay Lin's family-owned restaurant's business; since the restaurant's basement acts as the Guardian's HQ and Hay's grandmother/WITCH's mentor lives there it's in the best interests of the entire universe that it stay open. Karma does pay them back at the end when Blunk rolls into a car wash and gets clean. The girls usually experience similar cosmic backlash when they use their Astral Drop clones to make life a bit easier for them. In the third volume of the original comic, overuse of the Astral Drops actually leads to the girls' lives getting wrecked for a while, while in the second season animated series episode "H is for Hunted", Nerissa uses her powers to make one of Will's Astral Drops a living, breathing person... with heartrending consequences. Also in "H is for Hunted" they transform to decorate their gym for the farewell party of one of their teachers and mostly get away with it, though they do come close to getting caught. The more realistic Aesop ("Don't neglect your responsibilities") is mixed in with the Fantastic Aesop fairly well and the Astral Drops are not used at all for the rest of the season, though more likely because of Nerissa's ability instead of the girls actually learning their lesson.

He eventually realized that he was right, and returned home to apologize himself and reveal his new powers.

The only movie she made after it was a knockoff of "The Incredible Shrinking Woman." Likewise, her adopted son (Gar "Beast Boy" Logan) also went into acting, and had a good run on a Star Trek knockoff, using his shapechanging ability to play an alien...however, neither of them were able to find more acting work, since their reputations as "freaks" made them un-castable in anything else. Other DCU examples were Victor "Cyborg" Stone and Cliff "Robot Man" Steele. Their Emergency Transformations enhanced them, but also rendered them ineligible to participate in the athletic abilities they loved because their cybernetics were considered cheating. For all of the above, it's arguable that they're in the hero business because they can't do anything else.

Used in All-Star Superman, although not spelled out. Lex Luthor gains Superman's powers at the end and goes on a rampage, stopping every so often as his Super Senses give him new insights on the universe. Just as his powers run out, he declares that life is beautiful and everyone needs to stick together - implying that anybody with Superman's godlike perspective would naturally choose to become an altruist. The "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue implies that Luthor mellowed out considerably after the experience. Although Luthor is smart and would be capable of recognizing the beauty of the universe with his new Super Senses... and it didn't completely stop him from trying to defeat Superman anyway. If anything it's a combination of Superman's godlike perspective and being raised well that makes Clark Kent who he is. Superman isn't above using his powers to get a good news story if doing so doesn't interfere with fighting evil. In one of the earliest comics he scooped Lois on a story about a dam bursting by outrunning her train, stopping the flood, and phoning the story in. Sort of justified in that his heroing makes his job more difficult far more often than it makes it easier — like Peter Parker, the guy deserves a break.

Shortly after the Young Hercules Pilot Movie, Hercules has become brash and arrogant, acting bored and too good for Cheiron's lessons. One of the local gangs attempts to initiate a new member (Bartoc) by siccing him on Hercules. During the confrontation, Hercules treats it as a joke and just messes with Bartoc, until he accidentally breaks the guy's neck. It's a wake-up call for Herc, and he spends the remaining flashbacks dealing with the fallout (including delivering the news to Bartoc's family).

Low Obligation, you're either a cackling lunatic or Mengele. The Peerage's view on it subverts it slight; you do have a responsibility, but it's a responsibility to keep your head down, remain quiet and don't do anything too insane. To them, a Genius trying to help has the risk of getting carried away and having weird ideas on what helping means.

While they're not good guys (Gray and Grey Morality rules the roost), they know exactly how dangerous Shaping is, and while they use this technology as the basis of their civilization, they consider containment procedures and keeping Shaping under control to be just as important as continuing to develop the art for the good of their people. Their black labs have security procedures that make the CDC look lax, and they forbid the use of Upgrade Artifacts because a core element of their philosophy is that developing one's power naturally means developing the discipline to use this power wisely, while giving power to amateurs before they're ready will lead to chaos.

While traveling, they're pulled over by a Corrupt Cop who arrests them on trumped up charges simply because Cleveland is black. When it looks like their stay in prison may be indefinite, the gang opts to escape on their own, back to Quahog. When they arrive, it turns out the police force followed them, only for Joe to reveal that he anticipated this and called in Quahog's police force.

Mages are blocked from the highest levels of Wisdom just for using magic for its Mundane Utility, Magic Misfires are worse for low-Wisdom mages, and Spirits dislike low-Wisdom mages on sight. Mages need to be careful about the spells they cast, because flagrantly throwing around extremely obvious magic threatens the various Magic Misfires of Paradox. This belief is what separates the Silver Ladder from the Seers of the Throne. The Silver Ladder believe they're supposed to rule over Sleepers, but that this rulership is for the Sleepers' own good — they're supposed to guide Sleepers towards enlightenment and generally rule well. Seers don't believe that control over Sleepers has any real responsibilities apart from not spooking the herd, and abuse both mystical and manipulative power for personal gain on a grimly regular basis.

Mages are blocked from the highest levels of Wisdom just for using magic for its Mundane Utility, Magic Misfires are worse for low-Wisdom mages, and Spirits dislike low-Wisdom mages on sight.

Later on, the writers played with this trope a bit. In S6 Phoebe's empath power is taken away because the Elders feel she abused it. In S7 the sisters use their powers to help the avatars try and create utopia but this comes at a heavier price than they realise and then they have to put things right. Towards the end of S8 the magical community turns on the sisters for not living up to their responsibilities.

During one story, a very angry Spider-Girl confronts an Uncle Ben who gave up being a Spider because his world's Green Goblin killed his May and Peter. May, already angry that her brother was in the hands of the Inheritors, snaps at Ben for abandoning his role as a hero. She starts to use the motto before Ben corrects her with the real phrasing and uses it as the reason why he quit. Also in Spider-Verse, Ben reminds everyone that the actual quote is 'With great power there must also come great responsibility', implying that responsibility is at once a choice, and an inherent part of the package with great power.
