A President (or otherwise Chief of State) of a sovereign country (most likely the good ol' US of A) who happens to have superpowers — and does use them for heroics as a side job. Or who, alternatively, fights crime in a Batman-like fashion. Quite often a result of Asskicking Leads to Leadership (and sometimes of the opposite). If it's a supervillain who rules a country, see President Evil. Sub-Trope of Action Politician. Compare God-Emperor, Sorcerous Overlord, Benevolent Mage Ruler, and Emperor Scientist. See also Royalty Superpower; unlike a monarch, the presidential superhero will generally not try to legitimise his rule by virtue of his powers. |

In the fourth issue of Roy Thomas' Anthem, it's revealed that FDR survived the bombing of the White House... sort of. His brain was intact, but his body was too damaged, so Agent 76 transferred his brain into a robot body. He became the first Anthem, managing to put down enough Axis forces to keep the American Midwest free, but the robot body eventually burned out, too, necessitating another radical procedure. | |

President Touches Clouds in the Wearing the Cape series is a downplayed example. As a founding member of the Chicago Sentinels Super Team she parlayed her the prestige from her time working on the team into a successful political career that by the time the series has started has seen her elected as US President. Downplayed because the series recognises that her position is a full-time job in of itself that leaves her with no time for heroics. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: The Fuhrer President of Amestris, "King" Bradley, is a Lightning Bruiser who still punishes crime by himself, even when he's got an eyepatch and pushing past middle age. Even when his army is made up of State Alchemists with elemental powers, he still surpasses them easily with little more than super-speed, super-strength, and his sword. As it turns out, he's actually an artificial homunculus bred by Father for being the leader of the country, hence his superhuman attributes and all-seeing eye beneath his patch, making him more of a President Evil. | |

Real Time with Bill Maher: Mocked by Maher in his "New Rules" segment where he bemoaned the glut of superhero-themed movies and television series, not just for most of them being Strictly Formula, but because it instills a mindset that The Only One can save the day. He then portrayed Donald Trump's presidency as the story of a superhero named "Orange Sphincter". | |

And as if being Supes and Prez weren't enough, he also ends up with a Green Lantern ring. He resists and manages not to get Drunk with Power. | |

Ultimate Fantastic Four: One story had The Mighty Thor as President. He agreed to let the Skrulls give everybody on Earth superpowers, which turned out to be a planetwide poisoning plot (Ben Grimm, who'd gotten rid of his powers and didn't want new ones, ended up as the only human able to fight back as a Badass Normal). Grimm then goes to the past and prevents the invention that allowed Earth to contact the Skrulls, and thus he Set Right What Once Went Wrong. | |

Superman: The concept of Supes possibly being president goes back to the Silver Age when Jimmy Olsen had a dream about it. Some aspects of it are examined as to how Superman being the president would be different; for instance, the splash panel shows an emergency situation. President Superman tells the Secret Service men to get behind him. Also, at the end, when the possibility is mentioned in some way to the Man of Steel, Supes points out that he couldn't be president as the U.S. president has to be a native, and he wasn't born in the United States. Happened with the "main" reality's Superman, in one of the Armageddon 2001 possible futures explored by Waverider.note At that point, Superman's canonical origin was the John Byrne version in which, Jor-El launched Superman's Uterine Replicator into space so he was "born" in Kansas. And as if being Supes and Prez weren't enough, he also ends up with a Green Lantern ring. He resists and manages not to get Drunk with Power. In Earth-23 of the post-52 multiverse, a black Superman named Calvin Ellis is President of the United States in his secret identity. In the Elseworlds story Superman: Red Son (later Earth-30 of the post-52 multiverse), the Soviet-raised Superman becomes Premier of the Soviet Union after the death of Stalin. He uses his powers to both fight crime and improve the living standard of every citizen in the expanding Soviet state, but also eliminates all free will. |

At least two issues of Marvel's What If? explore what would have happened if Captain America were elected President, one after being thawed from the ice, the other in the 40s after winning the war at the head of an entire army of Super Soldiers. Except in the latter story, the president was actually the Red Skull's brain in a clone of Cap, and the real Cap ultimately dies in a Heroic Sacrifice to defeat him after Namor thaws him out of a block of ice. Incidentally, the first story also ends with Cap sacrificing himself to defeat the Red Skull. | |

Ben 10: Ultimate Alien: In the Ultimate Alien future timeline, Ben 10,000 mentions that he was briefly President of Earth, "just long enough to defeat the third Vilgaxian invasion", but that apparently Gwen was better at the day-to-day stuff. In Ben 10 (2016), we see her as the president in that timeline. As of the "current" future timeline by the end of Ben 10: Omniverse, Argit seems to have become President of Earth instead, which probably doesn't bode well. | |

Captain America: Near the end of the Ultimate Marvel line, Captain America was elected to the presidency of the United States, and apparently did a very good job aside from his complete lack of diplomacy resulting in incidents like telling state governors to solve disputes between themselves on their own instead of asking for his mediation or preventing them from seceding by force. However, he resigned following the "Divided We Fall" arc. At least two issues of Marvel's What If? explore what would have happened if Captain America were elected President, one after being thawed from the ice, the other in the 40s after winning the war at the head of an entire army of Super Soldiers. Except in the latter story, the president was actually the Red Skull's brain in a clone of Cap, and the real Cap ultimately dies in a Heroic Sacrifice to defeat him after Namor thaws him out of a block of ice. Incidentally, the first story also ends with Cap sacrificing himself to defeat the Red Skull. In Marvel Zombies, that world's Captain American (here Colonel America) served as president sometime before the outbreak, apparently only serving a portion of a term. It comes up as his fellow zombies ask if he knows of any secret continuity-of-government facilities where they could find more living humans (specifically Congress) to devour. |
