With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility, but power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Some powers — and responsibilities — are too great for anyone to be trusted with.
A character may realize this on his own — perhaps the Big Bad has just been defeated, and his Ancient Artifact is now in The Hero's control. After contemplating all the good he could do, The Hero may realize that he can't take away people's free will. He may experience a "Not So Different" Remark moment, and gain some sympathy for his enemy.
Alternatively, the party may begin fighting over who should control this power, demonstrating their inability to be trusted with it. Eventually, a wiser member will point out that the only possible solution is for no one to have it.
In any case, the choice will usually be clear. The source of power must be discarded, destroyed, or sealed back in its can. This may be a final resolution, a return to the status quo, or even the beginning of a quest to get rid of the power. If the proper choice isn't made, this may mark the Start of Darkness.
See No MacGuffin, No Winner when the power is lost as a karmic punishment, rather than a willing decision in fear of the consequences. Also compare It Belongs in a Museum. Does not refer to powers that only women have, or only The Chosen One or many should have.
See also: The World Is Not Ready, Status Quo Is God, Reluctant Mad Scientist, May It Never Happen Again, and Technological Pacifist. If the power simply isn't used, for no specific reason, that's Holding Back the Phlebotinum. If the protagonists aim for this trope but don't succeed, see Dangerous Device Disposal Debacle.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: After the Big Bad Voldemort almost got his hands on the titular magical artifact, capable of granting immortality and infinite wealth, Dumbledore and its creator Nicholas Flamel decide to destroy it to ensure its power would never be stolen and abused.

In El Chapulín Colorado, the Samson's wig episode ends with the wig being cut up, and Chapulin commenting that it's for the best so that no one will abuse the wig's ability to give the wearer Super-Strength and Nigh-Invulnerability, but the archaeologist that called him still laments that it's a great loss to academia.

At the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry decides this with the two of the three eponymous Deathly Hallows, which have been proven to be Artifacts of Doom. The Elder Wand is reburied with Dumbledore and should Harry, its current master, die a natural death, the wand's powers would be broken. (In the movie, Harry simply snaps the thing in half and throws it into a gorge, guaranteeing that it can never be used again.) As for the Resurrection Stone, Harry leaves it where he dropped it in the Forbidden Forest. According to Word of God, a centaur stomps on it whilst coming to aid Hogwarts' defenders in the final battle against Voldemort. This buries it deep into the earth, presumably forever. Finally, Harry resolves to keep the third Hallow, the humble Cloak of Invisibility, which is also his family's Ancestral Weapon, and eventually gives it to his older son, James.
This comes up in the defictionalized edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Dumbledore's commentary on "The Tale of the Three Brothers" (aka "The One With… The Deathly Hallows") downplays or outright denies the existence of the Hallows, but the introduction to the tome suggests that he's keeping the truth to himself to prevent others from making the same mistakes that he did.

In an annual for the X-Men Wolverine managed to acquire the crystal that an alien villain had tricked them into acquiring for it after the alien had killed everyone (they got better), finding himself imbued with cosmic power that he realized while thinking of Jean (this was before her return in X-Factor) no one should have and destroyed the crystal. It proved to be a hidden test of character and any species that tried to exploit the crystal (the lines of statues depicting those who failed included a Kree and Skrull at the head of the line) would be locked into a genetic dead end unable to continue evolving further.

In Angel, the Gem of Amara is a magical ring that renders vampires immune to their weaknesses (staking won't kill them, they can walk in sunlight, crosses and fire are ineffective). When Angel gets a hold of it, he destroys it at the end of the episode since it's too dangerous for any vampire (even himself) to have.

Towards the end of Star Wars: Honor Among Thieves, Han argues against the Rebellion taking control of a No Warping Zone device that can limit who can access Faster-Than-Light Travel. Even though, as Leia says, it would end the war against the Empire completely, Han points out that eventually, someone who couldn't be trusted with such power would rise to the top of the New Republic, and set up another evil empire which could never afterward be stopped. Leia eventually sees the sense of this, which is handy for Han, since he'd already sabotaged the device before she agreed to it.

In the Neutral Path of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, the enlightened AI Arthur invokes this: he has acquired far too much information on the Schwartzwelt and its denizens, and knows that should he return intact to civilization, it will be misused and him glorified until he was deified by Humanity. The very idea is so against his core programming (Humanity should never lose control over their destiny, not even to him), so requests his main CPU be added to the components of the nuke intended to finish the Negative Space Wedgie, finishing both it and him for good.

In one episode of Castle (2009) involving an invisible man, Castle and Beckett learn that the Victim of the Week stole research data from a government facility trying to develop an invisibility suit, so that he may perfect it as part of a revenge scheme cooked up with his friend. After nearly crossing the line, he realizes that invisibility is too much power for humanity to have and wiped out the facility's research and planned to destroy the suit, only for it to stolen by the killer (his ex-girlfriend, who he had used to get her research needed to perfect the suit). In the end, Beckett and Castle arrest the killer and the head researcher takes custody of the suit. Realizing that the victim was right about the suit being a Deal with the Devil, Castle warned the researcher not to lose her soul.

The Bravestarr episode "The Wrong Hands" is basically the series's anti-nuclear episode. A race of militaristic aliens builds an enormously powerful cannon (powered by Kerium, of course) to "conquer the galaxy." Bravestarr recalls a time when, as a boy, he'd gotten his hands on a mining tool and accidentally destroyed the hut he and Shaman were living in. Shaman had told him how dangerous some things could be in the wrong hands, and that when he was older, he would see that some things are "too terrible and too dangerous to be in anyone's hands." Bravestarr destroys the cannon before it can do much damage.

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), to prevent anyone from using the Kraang's actually Professor Honeycutt's Black Hole Generator, the Utrom split it into three parts and hid them across the galaxy. Unfortunately, the Triceratons found the fragments and used the weapon on Earth. Fortunately, an atoning Honeycutt pulled a Heroic Sacrifice to change the future and destroy both the generator and the Triceraton fleet.

Justice League Unlimited:
Lampshaded by Green Arrow after the Watchtower's Kill Sat function is hijacked and forced to fire on a city. Upon seeing the devastation, he notes 'It's too much power for anyone to have'. The rest of the League eventually agrees with him and decommissioned the weapon.
Turns out, the original seven felt that way about the Justice League itself. The expansion wasn't just to increase numbers and power, but to also bring in a far wider variety of viewpoints to help keep them grounded; GA's lecture about the cannon was just the first and most prominent example.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021):
No king of Eternos since King Grayskull has ever wielded the Power of Grayskull for fear that such power would be easily abused. King Randor brands the Masters of the Universe criminals for using its power, even for good.
The relationship between Eternos and its allied nations Avion and Leviathae was damaged because King Grayskull refused to let the other nations use the Sigil of Hssss, an artifact capable of raising the dead as an undead army, and instead broke and hid the Sigil away.

Episode Two of Half-Life 2 has Eli Vance snap over the discovery of the Borealis research vessel still being around. Considering the ship belongs to Aperture Science, the infamous rival to Black Mesa that does dangerous experiments deliberately For Science!, it makes sense that the research done on the ship is just as bad. Eli is plagued more emotional trauma from the first game, in addition to his mistake of not preventing the whole incident when he had the chance and what happened after that. He speaks almost to the point of insanity where the destruction of the ship and all of its research is the only thing he thinks about it.

Mortal Kombat 11 has this happen in Rambo's arcade ending. After defeating Kronika and taking the power of the Hourglass, he has the power to see and change all timelines, giving him the ability to drastically alter events, letting him do things like stop bloody wars from ever happening. However he also realizes the unintended consequences, such as causing innocent people to be Ret-Gone due to changing events. Rather than decide the fate of others like that, something which he thinks would make him no better than the politicians responsible for throwing away lives in the Vietnam War, he gives up all that godly power and walks the earth once again as a drifter.

In The Boys (2019), Vought develops a variant of their Super Serum Compound V that gives non-Supes powers temporarily, with the intent of selling it to the military. Queen Maeve smuggles some to The Boys to give them a fighting chance against Payback and eventually Homelander. However, Butcher and Hughie are the only ones willing to use it as this trope is fully in effect and they butt heads with the others over it, especially Mother's Milk who lost his family to Supes and says the trope name word-for-word as he argues that they need to draw the line somewhere. Butcher felt the exact same way they did, but knew that they were out of options and initially tries to stop Hughie from following him down this path, calling it a "curse".

Rodimus Prime proposed this in The Transformers season 3 episode "Fight or Flee" when the Decepticons conquer an energy-rich, game-changing planet populated by pacifist robots. Although understandably reluctant, the pacifist residents, who had neither the skill nor the desire to fight a protracted war, agreed to the plan and eliminated their beloved home/galaxy-threatening weapon in one giant blast.

Parodied in one episode of The Big Bang Theory. The guys end up with one of the actual props of the One Ring from The Lord of the Rings movies, and squabble constantly over who gets to keep it, while Leonard rolls his eyes.

In The Vision of Escaflowne, the characters spend several episodes in a futile effort to keep the Big Bad from getting access to a sealed vault full of energy needed to implement his plans.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022): It's revealed that the Echidna War started after the Echidnas formed the Master Emerald out of the seven Chaos Emeralds, and the Owls enforced this trope by attacking them for it and hiding it away which the Echidnas refused to take lying down. After Sonic uses the Emeralds to become Super Sonic, he and Knuckles reforge the Master Emerald as Sonic didn't believe he was capable to wield such power full-time.

At the end of "Imogen's Epic Day", Imogen finds that she still has a drop of the Water of Life left and she could attain ultimate power with the Glory Bloom with it. Instead, she wipes the drop on her jeans and thinks nothing of it. Judging by Agent Campbell's reaction, this is to be expected from a quest like her's.

In the finale of Power Rangers Beast Morphers, after the fall of Evox/Venjix, it was decided that Mayor Daniels' original assessment that it was too dangerous to harness the Morphin' Grid as a power source because villains would exploit it for their own gains was correct all along, with the use of Morph-X being discontinued as a result.

In the last episode of Superman: The Animated Series, Lex Luthor's last recorded thought on the title character is that "No one man should have that much power," gritted through a neck brace — funny enough, he got it when Superman had been de-powered and managed to sucker-punch him.

The Infinity Gauntlet ended with Adam Warlock acquiring the eponymous gauntlet which granted the user god-like powers. Not soon after that, the Living Tribunal, a cosmic being meant to bring order to the cosmos, declared that the gauntlet's gems must never be used by a single person ever again. The gems were then scattered amongst Warlock's allies.

Non-supernatural version in The Dark Knight. Lucius Fox says "this is too much power for one person" when he sees Batman's machine that lets him monitor the whole of Gotham simultaneously. Further played with in that "this one time" he's willing to use it to catch The Joker, and also in the fact that the man who built it fully acknowledges that it's too much power for him and gives Lucius the means to shut it down once the immediate crisis has been dealt with.

Spike Lee's biopic Malcolm X has a key and iconic scene where the Nation of Islam leader successfully obtains access to and subsequently medical help for a black man incarcerated (probably unjustly) by local police. This is accomplished by X heading up a veritable army composed of not only Nation of Islam members, but also black onlookers, creating a nevertheless peaceful (but determined) mob of perhaps a couple of hundred, spontaneously, and virtually in seconds. Once his goals are satisfied, X silences the crowd with a gesture, and disperses them with another, spurring the awed police chief to state "No one man should have such power!".

Invoked in the Marvel Cinematic Universe/Harry Potter crossover "Strange Potter" regarding the Resurrection Stone, after Strange and Wong find it while searching for Voldemort's horcruxes. Strange allows himself to use it to have one last talk with the Ancient One, and then lets Harry, Sirius and their family use it to talk with James and Lily, but makes it clear that he's only doing this once and then he'll put the Stone away somewhere safe, at least partially because using it may actually hurt the souls summoned back and because it's emotionally dangerous.

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: In Don Rosa's "The Universal Solvent", Gyro invents the titular Solvent, a liquid capable of destroying almost anything. After Scrooge foolishly spills the Solvent on the ground, the ducks go on a dangerous mission to retrieve the Solvent before it destroys the planet's core. After the world is saved, Gyro expresses regret over having ever invented the Solvent and gives his research notes to Scrooge, telling him to put them somewhere safe. Scrooge obliges — by using the Solvent itself to destroy the notes.

Harry Potter:
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: After the Big Bad Voldemort almost got his hands on the titular magical artifact, capable of granting immortality and infinite wealth, Dumbledore and its creator Nicholas Flamel decide to destroy it to ensure its power would never be stolen and abused.
At the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry decides this with the two of the three eponymous Deathly Hallows, which have been proven to be Artifacts of Doom. The Elder Wand is reburied with Dumbledore and should Harry, its current master, die a natural death, the wand's powers would be broken. (In the movie, Harry simply snaps the thing in half and throws it into a gorge, guaranteeing that it can never be used again.) As for the Resurrection Stone, Harry leaves it where he dropped it in the Forbidden Forest. According to Word of God, a centaur stomps on it whilst coming to aid Hogwarts' defenders in the final battle against Voldemort. This buries it deep into the earth, presumably forever. Finally, Harry resolves to keep the third Hallow, the humble Cloak of Invisibility, which is also his family's Ancestral Weapon, and eventually gives it to his older son, James.
This comes up in the defictionalized edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Dumbledore's commentary on "The Tale of the Three Brothers" (aka "The One With… The Deathly Hallows") downplays or outright denies the existence of the Hallows, but the introduction to the tome suggests that he's keeping the truth to himself to prevent others from making the same mistakes that he did.
Snape and Dumbledore had also agreed about this with regards to the Elder Wand. The plan was supposed to be since Dumbledore (as the master) arranged for Snape to kill him, the wand would die with him so Voldemort couldn't get his hands on it. The hitch in the plan was Malfoy disarming Dumbledore and becoming its master.

Rosario Vampire: Brightest Darkness Act III: Near the end of the act, it's revealed that Issa Shuzen collects rare magical spells and artifacts, though he never intends to actually use them. One of said spells/artifacts was the only copy of the chronoflies' Chrono Displacement spell, which Akua and Kahlua steal and give to Kiria so he can use it to change the outcome of the Battle of Kahdaln, which forced the monsters to set up The Masquerade in the first place, in favor of the monsters using Tsukune's inner ghoul, effectively rewriting history so that humans are extinct and monsters rule the world; however, what Akua and Kahlua didn't know was that Kiria also planned to use the spell to send other Blackheart-infected monsters to wipe out all of the Dark Lords and any other powerful beings who could possibly pose a threat to him, creating a timeline where Kiria himself reigns supreme. During their attack on Kiria's HQ, Tsukune and co. agree that the Chrono Displacement spell is too dangerous for anyone to have and destroy the scroll so it can never be used again.

Jackie tries this in the season three premiere by destroying the talismans rather than allow Dalong Wong to take them. Uncle then yells at him, because by destroying the talismans, he's released their power into the world and now they Gotta Catch 'Em All all over again, this time with their powers imbued into living animals.
Done more successfully with the Cat of Khartoum, which transformed anyone scratched by its claws into Cat People. Fortunately, smashing it is what undoes the transformation.

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Sword of Kahless", the heroes embark on a quest to find the eponymous sword, a very important religious artifact to the Klingons. So important, in fact, that whoever finds it and brings it back to the homeworld would gain the cultural/religious/political power to take over the Klingon Empire. As it turns out, it seems to corrupt its wielder faster than The One Ring, and after seeing her cohorts plotting to take over the empire and fighting amongst themselves over who gets to do it, Jadzia beams the sword into space. Word of God said that the sword was just a sword, with no unnatural powers; the lure of power and glory was what caused people to fight over it.
The Star Trek Expanded Universe has the sword retrieved at least twice. In Star Trek: Armada, Worf's enemy Toral seeks to take over the Empire with a fake and goes after Worf in order to prevent anyone from finding the real one. Worf survives, retrieves the real sword, and reaffirms Martok as the Chancellor. In a novel, Ezri Dax retrieves the sword and gives it to Martok, who has been overthrown by his illegitimate son, causing the pitched battle to stop and every Klingon to bow down to their Chancellor.

The omnipotent wish-granting Triforce of The Legend of Zelda always splits apart to keep anyone without a balance of Courage, Wisdom and Power in their heart from obtaining the whole thing from the get-go. Unfortunately, as seen in the backstories of Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, the very rumor of its existence tends to cause Hyrule to descend into civil war; Skyward Sword during its ending cutscene has Impa explicitly acknowledge that its power is far too tempting for the general public to know about. The backstories of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds also deal with individuals who do have the whole thing deciding to deliberately split it up anyway to prevent any wars among greedy individuals like the one that led to it originally being sealed in the Sacred Realm in the first place. A Link Between Worlds features a similar example with Lorule's version of the Triforce. The Loruleans faced their own war for the Triforce that tore apart the land, but the solution they came up with was to destroy it. They ended up realizing too late that the Triforce was the source of life for the land, and they nearly brought about The End of the World as We Know It.

In Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), Mark Russell is furious and protests when he finds out that his ex-wife helped Monarch to recreate the ORCA — an experimental device from their younger days which they tried to use to communicate with whales — so that it can used to communicate with the Kaiju, insisting the device is too dangerous to use because there's too much risk that it'll backfire and make the Kaiju rampage instead of preventing another attack. The Easter Egg in the end credits indicates that even if Mark was Right for the Wrong Reasons about the ORCA's role during the film, in the long term he was very right about the threat of the device driving the Kaiju to decimate humanity instead of saving lives.

The One Ring of The Lord of the Rings must be destroyed as much because of this trope as because it also happens to be the Soul Jar which keeps the Dark Lord alive. It grants "power according to the stature of the wielder," and there are a handful of folks around who might— might— be able to use it to overthrow Sauron, but because Power Corrupts, all that would do is set them up as a new Big Bad to trouble the world.

In the climax of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, almost everyone present wants the Wishing Star for their own purposes: Puss wants it to wish for nine more lives, Kitty wants it to wish for someone she can trust, Goldi wants it to wish for a real family, and Jack Horner wants it to have all the magic in the world to himself. However, almost everyone then finds that they don't need the wish for one reason or another. Kitty and Goldi both realise that they've already got what they've always wanted, while Puss learns to cherish his final life and the time he has left, no longer letting his actions be ruled by fear. This just leaves Jack; an incredibly cruel, petty and selfish man with a wish that could endanger the whole world. To this end, the three bears, Perrito, Puss, Kitty, and Goldi all work together to get the Wishing Star's map out of Jack's hands before the latter three wordlessly agree to tear it apart on the spot. This results in the destruction of the Wishing Star and Jack along with it.

Gargoyles:
In the episode "Grief", the Emir manages to take the powers of Anubis (mastery of death) away from Jackal and becomes Anubis' avatar. The Emir then does what he can to repair the damage inflicted by Jackal during his brief tenure as Anubis' avatar. After seeing the destruction wrought by Jackal and becoming the avatar himself leads the Emir to two epiphanies: the first being that the dead should stay dead, and that no one mortal should have access to this kind of power ever again. He collapses the entire building on himself, destroying any trace of the knowledge needed to bind Anubis.
Goliath uses this to justify his withholding of the Eye of Odin. This has problems when he encounters the real Odin, and mistakes him for an enemy.
He also uses this to justify sending the Phoenix Gate into oblivion. It didn't last long.

In Marvel Super Heroes, the heroes' arcade mode endings involve them acquiring the power of the Infinity Gauntlet...only to discard it and return to their daily lives. Wolverine, Psylocke and Iron Man's endings in particular allude to this. Wolverine has a hard enough time being a man instead of a killer, Psylocke knows what it's like to have someone change you against your will, and Iron Man's narrator notes that such power would corrupt anyone.

Star vs. the Forces of Evil: This is Star's reason for destroying the realm of magic. It has potentially infinite power and past users have caused destruction on a multiversal scale. It is also shown to have corrupting effects on those who indulge in it too much.

Shulk does this in the end of Xenoblade Chronicles 1. He just killed Zanza by obtaining the same godlike power he had and was asked how he felt the world should be remade. His response was that it wasn't his decision to make which prompted him to relinquish his godhood and create a world where mortals were in control of their own destinies.

Wings of Fire: Peril decides to resolve Winter and Qibli's argument over how they should use Darkstalker's scroll, which has his animus powers stored in it and allows you to enchant objects to do basically anything, by burning the scroll so no one has it. Unfortunately, this backfires because the scroll was enchanted to give Darkstalker back his powers, allowing him to free himself, if it is burned.

In The Wheel of Time, the Choedan Kal are a set of Amplifier Artifacts created during the Age of Legends as a last-ditch defense against the Shadow, capable of granting one Channeler nearly infinite power. They were hidden away until the present day, since even the global catastrophe that ended the Age wasn't enough of a Godzilla Threshold to wield them; during The Chosen One Rand's Darkest Hour, Rand considers using them to end the world and the cycle of reincarnation, but decides that their power is a "trap" and destroys them instead.

In DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp, Scrooge eventually comes to think this way of the Genie's power. After everything that's happened, he realizes that it's just too dangerous for anyone to have access to the lamp. He claims that he has to find a way to prevent the Genie's power from being abused, even if it means wishing the lamp was buried in the center of the earth. The rest of the cast beg him not to do this since it would mean Genie would be trapped there forever. Fortunately, Scrooge has already figured out a solution: he uses his last wish to make Genie into a mortal boy, which is what Genie has wanted all along too.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: After watching an informational video on Project Genesis, a device meant to terraform inhospitable planets, Dr. McCoy immediately realizes that this could just as easily eradicate life on hospitable worlds as a weapon of mass destruction. Spock initially believes McCoy's overreacting, until they find out Khan Noonien Singh wants Genesis for himself. Dr. David Marcus, one of Genesis' co-developers, pointed out the same thing even before Khan got involved.
And in the next film, the Klingons also point this out in their attempt to take the Genesis world.

Goku literally attempts to do this to one of the Dragon Balls in an effort to stop Syn Shenron from becoming Omega Shenron (again) in Dragon Ball GT. The results are: a funny moment watching him nearly choke to death in the attempt to swallow it, a W-T-F moment when the ball APPEARS IN HIS FOREHEAD for no discernible reason, and eventually failure when Syn Shenron manages to re-absorb it anyway.

In Wakfu, the Eliatrope dragon Grougaloragan states that no normal person can use the Eliacube and that Nox will only end up destroying himself or worse if he doesn't give it up. Nox simply replies he's done rather well with it for the past 200 years, but near the end of their fight admits that the cube is indeed too much for a normal person to handle and he's learned that firsthand. After all, his obsession with it cost him everything he ever held dear, and the only reason he hasn't thrown it away is because he intends to use it to take it all back.

Tarnum in Heroes Chronicles: Masters of the Elements invoked this trope. Having conquered the Elemental Planes and become the titular Master of the Elements, he decided that his power was too great for anybody to wield and, after banishing the Elemental Lords back to their respective planes, deliberately had his own memory of the Elemental Planes (and the memory of every wizard who followed him) wiped, much to the chagrin of Gavin Magnus. But in light of what happened to Gavin Magnus later, Tarnum was probably right...

One Piece:
It has a villainous and justified version. The World Government would probably prefer to destroy the Poneglyphs that have the only known record of the Void Century inscribed on them, with the possible exception of the one describing the location of Pluton. Said Poneglyphs are frustratingly impervious to harm, so the Government resorts to killing anyone who can read them. At the same time though, Tom the shipwright had the blueprints to Pluton, which was passed down by each main shipwright of Water 7. Spandam knows this and tries everything he can to get the plans before getting Nico Robin, who is the only person left who can read the Poneglyphs. Iceberg and later Franky end up with the plans; here it's discovered the plans exist that in case someone discovered the weapons and resurrected it for misuse (including the World Government), the plans were made to counteract them since the only thing that could destroy a Pluton is another Pluton. Franky destroys the plans, saying that once the plans were known; they would have to be destroyed anyways in order to prevent other groups from creating their own Plutons.
In the film One Piece Z, this is also why the World Government hid the Dyna Stones, strange egg-shaped stones that would release violent explosions when exposed to oxygen and said to rival the lost superweapons in might.

In Code Geass, Cornelia argues this when she tries to convince Schneizel that his plan to achieve world peace by nuking all the world's major cities and forcing them into submission is going too far. Unfortunately, he has probably the most chillingly understated A God Am I moment in history, and very calmly disregards her qualms and has her shot when she tries to stop him.

Comes up in Avengers: Endgame: when the Avengers arrive to rematch with Thanos to try and use the Infinity Stones to undo his universe-wide Depopulation Bomb, they find that he doesn't have the Stones anymore. He explains that their temptation of omnipotent power was too great for anyone, even himself, and after using them to fulfill his genocidal scheme, he used their own power to destroy them (at a severe cost to his physical body). The Avengers eventually find a way around this: by traveling back in time to before they were destroyed.

In Victoria, the early, idealistic John Rumford believes this to be true of the power of the federal government, seeking to create a very libertarian state with freedom for the people. Whether he succeeds or not is arguable; at least some readers may see something bittersweet in his early encomium to liberty when contrasting it to how the Northern Confederation he helps build turns out in practice.

Dr. Gerald Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog managed to both invoke this trope and become the recipient of it. He was initially a Reluctant Mad Scientist contracted by the former president of the United Federation to help with their Immortality Seeker research and only agreed to help his ill granddaughter Maria after first refusing on these grounds. After he created the Ultimate Life Form Shadow the Hedgehog, a later administration turned on him believing Shadow to be too dangerous to be left alone and invaded Gerald's space station, killing his granddaughter and turning him into an Omnicidal Maniac.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind: Thousands of years before the game, Lord Nerevar led the Chimer people to war against the Dwemer on account of the Dwemer's "blasphemous" research of the Heart of Lorkhan. How Nerevar died is recounted differently based on who is telling the tale. Some versions of it hold that his generals, after defeating the Dwemer, wished to use the Heart to tap into Lorkhan's divinity and become gods themselves. When Nerevar asserted that no mortal should have such power, his generals betrayed and murdered him, and went on to become The Tribunal and Dagoth Ur. Others believe that it was Dagoth Ur who suggested to destroy the tools necessary to use the Heart but Nerevar talked him out of it before being betrayed by the Tribunal. In the game's present, it falls to the Player Character, who may or not be Nerevar reincarnated, to finally destroy the heart and depower the Tribunal and Dagoth Ur.

El Goonish Shive:
Sensei Greg eventually closed his dojo of "Anime Style Martial Arts" in part due to worries that it turned out to be a magical training and there's no way to ensure that good powers would be granted to the right people.
Raven asks Abraham why he has not simply destroyed the Dewitchery Diamond yet. Abraham claims the Diamond is impossible to destroy (though he hasn't tried every method, like throwing it in a volcano) and seems to thwart attempts to hide it away permanently.
This is the reason why The Masquerade exists. The government is afraid that magic could fall into the hands of the wrong people (especially since Personality Powers is a fact and would easily cause a Bad Powers, Bad People scenario) and so keep the fact that it can be learned a secret. The villain of the Family Tree arc is one such example of magic falling into the wrong hands.

Doctor Who:
The Master has, at least twice, offered the Doctor joint or even total control of their superweapon of the week, daring the Doctor to rule the universe benevolently. Both times, the Doctor refused for this reason (plus, they'd find ruling over anything soul-crushingly dull).
The Doctor comes to this conclusion about the Key to Time at the end of "The Armageddon Factor" and helps Romana reach the conclusion by hamming it up and pretending he went mad with power.
When the Doctor alters a fixed point in time in "The Waters of Mars" and thinks of himself as "the Time Lord Victorious", with the ability to dictate the laws of time and manipulate the course of history to whatever he wants, Captain Brook tries to convince him that nobody should be able to do that. He replies "Tough", and says it's for him to decide the morality of his actions. It takes Brook's suicide to shock him back to reality.

The Metropolitan Man: Motivated almost entirely by this trope. Lex Luthor actually takes little issue with Superman's crime-stopping proclivities, but reasons that since Superman could potentially end all life on the planet, then no matter how unlikely that outcome might be, Lex needs to dedicate himself completely to ending that threat. At least that's what he says. By the end of the story, Luthor is revealed to be just as malicious and greed-motivated as his canon self by stealing Superman's alien technology for his personal use. His invocation of this trope was just a ruse used to dupe people like Lois into believing his schemes were altruistic.

The Star Trek Expanded Universe has the sword retrieved at least twice. In Star Trek: Armada, Worf's enemy Toral seeks to take over the Empire with a fake and goes after Worf in order to prevent anyone from finding the real one. Worf survives, retrieves the real sword, and reaffirms Martok as the Chancellor. In a novel, Ezri Dax retrieves the sword and gives it to Martok, who has been overthrown by his illegitimate son, causing the pitched battle to stop and every Klingon to bow down to their Chancellor.

In Star Wars Rebels, Ezra discovers that Lothal hides a portal to the World Between Worlds, a dimension that allows anyone to walk through time and possibly influence events. After a close call with a paradox and accidentally creating a Stable Time Loop, he destroys both gates, both to keep them from Palpatine and because of how much easy it would be to warp time from within it.

Person of Interest:
The Machine is an omniscient surveillance system that collects and collates data on everyone in the interest of preventing terrorist threats. Its designer, Harold Finch, knew that the risk of using this power for anything other than its intended use was too great, so he made it impossible for anyone to see its actual processes—even him. The government just gets the social security numbers of individuals relevant to national security, while Harold himself gets the numbers of threats irrelevant to national security; petty premeditated murders and the like. As the show wears on, it becomes clear that while no human should have this power, someone needs to, and the Machine itself is the only option.
For most of season 3, the team is trying to prevent the creation of Samaritan, an AI like the Machine but with none of the safeguards or moral programming, which can be controlled and set against anyone the designers don't like. This turns out to not be the case, as Decima is actually creating Samaritan so that it can rule the world, not them. So which is worse—evil people controlling an evil god, or the other way around?

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider has the time manipulating Triangle of Light that was abused by an ancient civilization, resulting in its destruction. To prevent anyone from using it again, the triangle was split in two and the pieces were separated. The main plot of the movie was for Lara to prevent the Illuminati from gaining the pieces. After the triangle was reassembled, Laura considered using it to bring back her long dead father, but ultimately destroyed the triangle once and for all.

The Starcatchers in Peter and the Starcatchers are a secret society who aim to keep the mysterious substance known as "starstuff" out of the hands of those who seek to use it for selfish means. They do this by collecting it when it falls from space and sending most of it back, keeping only small amounts for emergencies — emergencies being defined as "situations where we need help getting a buttload of starstuff back into space".

Played somewhat for laughs in The Gods Must Be Crazy, when a tribe of Kalahari bushmen find a bottle and it proves to be so useful in their barren habitat that they are soon fighting over it. The conclusion is that it must be destroyed, which as far as they know is only possible by throwing it over the edge of the earth. The real problem is that there is only one bottle, so it is more "No single man should have this power".

First Rex initiates a Global Cure Event removing the Nanite threat. Then Rex orders the Meta-Nanites to shut down, stating that he doesn't want anyone, including himself, to have access to this much power ever again.

A more mundane example in The Dead Zone, where a former student of Johnny's creates something that is going to revolutionize science. However, Johnny has a vision, where the discovery is used to build more effective WMDs, resulting in the student trying to destroy all data about his discovery. He dies in the process, while his assistant manages to recover an encrypted hard drive with the data and gives it to some shady characters.

Superman:
In Elliot S! Maggin's Bronze Age story Superman (Vol. 1) Annual #10: The Day the Cheering Stopped, the Man of Steel gets a magical sword which was apparently created at the dawn of time. It gives him incredible power (even for Pre-Crisis Superman) and helps him defeat the villain. In the end he realizes the incredible power the sword will give him and feels that it will make him an all powerful protector. He decides he doesn't want this power and throws it into space. A voice (possibly the voice of God) tells him he did the right thing.
During the course of Kryptonite Nevermore, two thirds of Superman's power are syphoned off by the otherwordly Sandman Superman. When both Supermen are about to square off, they see a vision showing the result of their battle— Earth destroyed. Horrified, the Sandman Superman decides to return to his dimension, and Superman decides against getting his full power back:
In Way of the World, a Green Lantern wants to destroy Dolok's time-travelling device since he cannot trust anybody to not be corrupted or even killed by that kind of powerful, dangerous technology. Supergirl privately disagrees, since she would like using it for a good purpose, but she eventually decides her friend is right and she destroys the device.

Sphere: The titular object is speculated to be of alien origin and its function seems to be to make real anything a person can think of but the catch is that it also makes real even the subconscious expectations and fears of a person's heart. Not surprisingly, the people who discovered it, upon realizing its true nature, decide not only to get rid of it but also that they need to forget that it ever existed so that nobody will ever try to retrieve it.

Parodied on South Park. The boys see the girls playing with a paper fortune teller. After Butters successfully infiltrates their slumber party and steals it from them, the boys decide that the power to tell the future is too great and dangerous to possess, and destroy it with a spectacular explosion.
Parodied again in "Fantastic Easter Special" when the boys find out that the position of Pope was never meant for humans, but for rabbits. You see, Jesus knew that no human could speak for all of Christianity without eventually succumbing to corruption, and thus chose rabbits because they were pure, tolerant, and incorruptible. The reason the Pope's hat is shaped the way it is is because it was meant to accommodate rabbit ears.

The Perfect Run: Mechron tech is generally considered too dangerous for anyone to have access to. First off, the fact that every single Mechron base has "create an infinite army of robots" as an auxiliary function is not a good look, and Leo Hargraves warns that being able to throw robots at a problem until it goes away will lead to bad places. Not to mention the fact that the base under Rust Town controls a Kill Sat. In the end, the heroes get all the information out of the base that they can, then destroy it.

In Hacknet, Bit came to this conclusion about Hacknet after learning that it's meant be leaked to the public so that EnTech can have a monopoly on security software. The reason that you were sent a copy of the software was so that you could learn about the plan yourself and destroy the development builds before EnTech can finish it. In the end, you're directed to the "heart" of the program to terminate it and delete your own copy.

In the live-action Transformers film, Optimus Prime says that if there's no other way to keep the Allspark out of Megatron's hands, he'll shove it into his own spark to destroy it. This option is a last resort because it would also kill Optimus. In the end, Sam shoves it into Megatron's instead. But as the sequel shows, turns out that doesn't quite work.

In the novella Dawnshard, set in The Cosmere, Rysn comes across a Lost Superweapon and the species that has been guarding it. They've been killing anyone who comes too close to discovering it, as they believe that it is beyond any being's capability to wield properly. It's revealed to be one of the four ancient commands Adonalsium used to create the universe, and were later used to shatter them into sixteen pieces. The Sleepless believe that to use it properly one would need the understanding and knowledge of Adonalsium, and only agree to let Rysn embody it because she's incapable of accessing its power. As we later learn, humans messing with the Dawnshards was what destroyed Ashyn, so this belief is well-founded.

Star Trek: Voyager introduces the "Omega Directive" in the episode of the same name, which is this trope applied to the Omega molecule — a super-powerful substance which, if mishandled, can not only blow up anything around, but also turn entire sectors of space into a No Warping Zone. If Omega is detected, Starfleet must do anything necessary to destroy it, with all other directives (even the Prime Directive itself) rescinded.

In "The Tyranny of King Washington" DLC for Assassin's Creed III, Connor and Washington touch an Apple and experience an Alternate History where Washington goes mad with its power and declares himself king. Also during the game Connor drinks a tea made from a Red Willow Tree that gives him power and slowly starts to lose himself to it. After Connor defeats him in this reality, they snap out of it. Neither of them wants to have the Apple after this, but Washington begs Connor to put it somewhere where no one will ever find it. Connor drops it into the ocean, while Washington's belief that a republic is the only bulwark against tyranny is only reinforced.

Assassin's Creed's Altair says this about the Pieces of Eden, and after beating the Well-Intentioned Extremist Big Bad, he announces that he intends to destroy it. He can't bring himself to do it; the possibilities of all the knowledge it contains are too much for him to resist, and later games show that while he never got Drunk on the Dark Side as he made sure to only use as little as possible to gain knowledge, he did spend most of his life trying to learn its secrets.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: When Q appears in "Hide and Q", he endows Riker with the power of the Continuum in an attempt to uncover how humanity might someday surpass his species. Picard immediately pressures Riker into resisting the urge to use this power, ostensibly to prevent Will from abusing it, and also to win a wager against Q in the hopes of making the God-like being sod off forever. Even though he is corrupted by the power, Riker ultimately decides to remain human and has the power taken away, with the moral being that humanity will take its own path without needing to be uplifted by Q. This doesn't stop Q from continuing to harass Picard once a season for the rest of Next Gen's run, of course.
