Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers!	comment	Let's face it; in some worlds, Humans Are the Real Monsters, and the only reason that these Crapsack Worlds have a semblance of civility and law is fear of reprisal. So what happens when your typical jerkasses, sociopaths, and misanthropes get a hold of Applied Phlebotinum, a Ring of Power, are bit by a werewolf or discover that they're mutants with superpowers? Blow off society and do whatever they want! Rather than try to be heroes who got the Call to Adventure, they will use their powers for petty crime. Want a million dollars? Just use your Eye Beams to melt open the bank vault. A lover cheated on you? Super-Strength to turn the guy's car into a cube. That beautiful house? Summon up a ghost to scare the owners away and move in once the price drops. "But what if the cops find out?!" Well, with most cases of this trope, the newly empowered criminals will either make short work of them or be totally undetectable. In truly disgusting extremes, they may walk into a restaurant (where they're known as supervillains), be rude to the waiter, not pay the bill, and then fight their way through the city's police force for it. And that's assuming the police even try to stop the super-jerks, as it won't take too many public demonstrations before the cops have to admit that it's futile. Most of the time, these villains will be very small-time thinkers, at most terrorizing local authorities into making them sort of kings, but when some do see the big picture, you can expect them to want to Take Over the World, or even try to enslave humanity. People with the power of invisibility are especially prone to this. Expect a hero to berate them with "You Could Have Used Your Powers for Good!". Sub-Trope of Beware the Superman. See also Might Makes Right, Appeal to Force, Smug Super, Power Perversion Potential. Compare Drunk with Power, With Great Power Comes Great Insanity. Related to Beneath the Mask and What You Are in the Dark because superpowers reveal how a person would act without any fear of reprisal. In this trope that hidden self is anything but Lawful Good. See Super Supremacist for someone with superpowers who skips over the "get away with crime" part and goes for straight-up subjugating the non-superpowered. The Supernatural Elite may have this sentiment — or not; they might not want the law broken if it is written to benefit them, after all. Contrast Cut Lex Luthor a Check for the ways a supervillain could have used his or her abilities to make tons of entirely legal cash. Contrast With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility, this trope's exact opposite. Compare and contrast With Great Power Comes Great Perks, where people use their power for their own benefit, but without immoral behavior.

Despite being a nigh omnipotent and very powerful (and very destructive) witch who can (and will) do whatever she pleases (laws be damned), the one thing that prevents Alice from becoming a danger to Teyvat is that, much to her annoyance, she needs to abide by Teyvat's laws. Good thing too, otherwise, she can easily wreck the planets ecosystem and render it inhospitable to life.

Instead of using her powers for her own gain, however, she decides to try to find a system that does work.

Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers! / int_1ad6e2b5	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: A lot of fans think that Yuma's ability to use Shining Draw in ZEXAL Mode pushes the limits of fair play, but you can excuse him, seeing as the villains cheat worse. Eliphas, however, you cannot. His godlike powers and authority over the Astral World let him use the Shining Draw ability any time he wants (the equivalent of magical deck-stacking), as opposed to Yuma, who can use it at most twice per duel, and only in ZEXAL Mode. To make this worse, Eliphas sort of broke the bank on broken cards, his ace monster being a Rank 13 Xyz Monster that was able to gain 33 Overlay Units. (Most real players would consider that, well, impossible.) Ironically, despite this blatant cheating, Yuma was able to defeat him without Astral's help, using a Rank 1 Xyz Monster. In one of Yuma's duels against Vector, Vector is poised to win, as he has a Trap that will destroy Yuma's "Rank-Up-Magic Limited Barian's Force", which is the only card left in his deck, as soon as he draws it and then inflict enough damage to beat him. How does Yuma avoid this? He uses Shining Evolution to change the card as soon as he draws it to "Rank-Up-Magic Numeron Force". Vector calls him out and accuses him of cheating, but given Vector's atrocities and broken cards, Yuma doesn't care and beats him. Yuma uses all of ZEXAL Modes and Shining Draw abilities in his duel against Don Thousand. Yuma's partner Nasch also uses his Barian's Chaos Draw during the duel. To be fair, Thousand is a Purposely Overpowered villain with overpowered, game-breaking, and cheap monsters, and if they don't win, they will die and the world is over.

In Ben 10: Omniverse, we see one Alternate Universe where Grandpa Max had died before Ben found the Omnitrix, and without his influence, Ben 23 became a Spoiled Brat and Lonely Rich Kid who was more concerned with fame and fortune than helping others. In some others, Ben became a flat-out villain.

Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers! / int_41b0198a	comment	Examined and played with, heavily, in The Dresden Files. Most supernatural beings feel no compunction towards obeying mortal authority or believe themselves allowed to ignore the laws (case in point: the Wardens executing warlocks). Played with, however, in the supernatural world's set of laws codified by the wonderfully wicked Mab: the Unseelie Accords, laws to govern how magical beings behave towards one another. Most heavy players follow these laws - save for Nicodemus, who believes that his immortality and powers mean he shouldn't need to bow his head to anybody. As it turns out, Mab doesn't agree- and he learns this, to his regret. Also, in the novel Cold Days, Harry finds very quickly that the Sidhe always honor their agreements very strictly because Winter (or Summer) Law is so absolute that violating it never even occurs to them. Harry, being Harry, finds out what instantly happens when he tries. As the Winter Knight, his broken back and other injuries return immediately since Mab's Mantle vanishes when he violates Winter Law. The White Council and their Laws of Magic also exist to limit power. When speaking with Captain Luccio, Harry brings up the fact that the Laws cover Black Magic but not things like murder without using magic, theft, etc. Luccio points out that if the Council attempted to punish countries for their crimes, they would have to go after, say, America, for its treatment of Native Americans. Which would get the American wizards upset (since they support the country even though it's done some bad things), which would eventually lead to civil war. In order to keep the Council from fracturing, they would need to take control of the wizards, for which they would need Black Magic. Which the Laws cover already.

He actually plays along until he points out that they don't actually have the power to enforce this punishment, transforms, and runs through the wall to help his friends. This shows how much Ben has matured since the first series in that he's still willing to break some rules if they actually threaten to stop him from doing good and helping people.

Otherwise, it's the same as for those that don't have powers: commit a crime, you're a criminal, but stop one without being a part of the police, and you're a vigilante. One particular criminal has an ability that allows her to leave almost no trace (since she turns into marble)... but she takes selfies, which means it's just a matter of time before they catch her. And one particular individual is used as an example of how to live under the radar: he's a geokinetic, able to access gold in the Earth's crust, and store it 10+ miles deep. But since he's not trying to crash the world's gold market by selling it all at once, the authorities leave him alone, and self-policing.

It is illegal to imprison them; they can only be executed, and of course only for the most heinous of crimes. In most cases, when a Shardbearer is accused of a crime, the accuser is imprisoned for slander without anyone even bothering to see if the accusation is justified. While a large part of this is due to the Alethi's degeneration into Blood Knights and their worship of the kind of slaughter that Shardbearers can wreak, there is a pragmatic side as well. Since they bear Shardblades that they can summon at any time and use to cut through anything, imprisoning them is a laughable prospect. Though note that it is possible to force a Shardbearer to give up his Blade without killing him. It's just the Alethi see ownership of Shards as a sacred right and refuse to take them except in duels.

The meteor freak of the week suffers "Kryptonite Psychosis" and uses their meteor-given powers for their own selfish gain, perfectly willing to commit multiple murders to further their goals before Clark stops them and they get sent to the Belle Reve mental institution. Lampshaded numerous times by characters biased against meteor freaks. Clark himself qualifies when under the influence of Red Kryptonite. His Red K-activated personality, Kal, acts out Clark's basic wants and needs without concerning himself with the consequences of his actions, and is not only unconcerned with keeping his powers a secret, but is even tempted to go public with them because he believes that his powers make him infallible.

Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers! / int_81692f99	comment	Widespread in Star Trek. Star Trek: The Original Series: Charlie Evans from "Charlie X" was given superpowers by the Thasians after his ship crashed and everyone else was killed. When the Enterprise picks him up, he has an obsession with being liked and "removes" people from reality if they piss him off. Eventually the Thasians show up to take him back and repair the damage, but they're too late for a ship he destroyed that was trying to warn the Enterprise. While Charlie repents in the end and promises never to use the powers again, Kirk and the Thasians agree that it's too much of a temptation. In "Where No Man Has Gone Before", Gary Mitchell develops superpowers after the Enterprise crosses the energy barrier at the edge of galaxy: he swiftly develops a god complex and starts killing crew members. Averted when it comes to Dr. Elizabeth Dehner, who uses hers to stop Mitchell and ends up getting killed in the process. Trelane from "The Squire of Gothos". You want someone to hang out with? Instantaneously pluck your guests from their ship. Said guests try to defy you? Chase them around with the planet you're on. Fortunately, Trelane's parents are close by whenever he takes the trope too far. In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Violations", a guy enters people's dreams and does terrible things to them. He enters Dr. Crusher's and Counselor Troi's dreams and rapes them, and he enters Riker's dream and beats him within an inch of his life. When confronted, he claims to see nothing wrong with doing something for fun. Until he tries it again on Troi and Worf comes to her rescue. Basically every single member of the Q Continuum ignores all rules imposed by anybody except their own kind, and even then it's kind of iffy. Being omnipotent they can get away with this since nobody more powerful than them has appeared in any canonical story. Q's own son, appearing as a teenage boy in Star Trek: Voyager, flat-out tells Janeway he can do whatever he wants because he has unlimited control over space, time, and matter. At least his father felt the need to claim "superior morality" as a justification for his behavior. They generally at least just toy with normal people. You'd shudder to think of a truly malicious Q.

Angered at Puss for his arrogance towards death, thinking himself immortal, wasting 8 of his 9 lives and never seeing the true value of life, he decides that instead of waiting for Puss' last life to come to its natural end, he'll just collect it personally now. He is fully aware that this is technically breaking his own rules, as an exchange with one of Puss' former lives outright says he's cheating, but he doesn't care (even invoking Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught for good measure).

Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers! / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: A bit more "screw the rules, I control supernaturally powered beasts". When the Targaryen dynasty came to Westeros, they practiced incest and polygamy. A major stumbling block for the first 4 kings was that both these things were forbidden by the dominant Faith of the Seven on the continent. note While not explicitly forbidden, even the North was iffy about doing it. However, while the Faith had tradition and religious zeal, the Targs had DRAGONS! And while they didn't have the firepower to explicitly screw the rules (plus pragmatism), they eventually got a special dispensation that proclaimed their family as unique under heaven, and able to implicitly practice at least the incest (polygamy fell out after the last king to practice it was a tyrant).

They have superpowers and they decide that they can do anything they want, and feel that the government can't stop them. Thing is, they are actually wrong. While Vought American, a large defense contractor that has created all the superheroes in the setting, is willing to cover up and/or whitewash the exploits of their supers for the sake of profit and good PR, the company can and will deal with them if the incidents cannot be spun or are hurting their bottom line. The best example of this is what happened to the X-Men expies G-Men. The government and Vought American knew that the team founder John Goldokin was an unrepentant pedophile and child abductor that had abused all the children under his care, but they were still willing to turn a blind eye to this because the G-Men were one of the most popular and profitable superhero teams. All things changed once V.A. realized that Goldokin's perversions and instability were out of control (he requested permission to create another preschool team) and after public scandals like the suicide of Jean Grey expy Silver Kincaid, the higher-ups realized that the team were a public relations liability and ordered a team of Red River operatives to deal with them. The subsequent fight saw the G-Men getting massacred with frightful efficiency.

Whether it is rule-breaking or not is debatable. Ishizu can see the future, allowing her to prevent bad moves and go the "good route", which is definitively unfair. In the end, the Pharaoh can draw any card he wants by manipulating destiny. Marik creates a Shadow Game against Joey, who he repeatedly attacks with his monsters not for the purpose of defeating Joey within the rules of the game, but by draining his energy so much that Joey passes out seconds before he would have defeated Marik. Incredibly, Kaiba declares that this is allowed and awards victory to Marik. In the final against Yugi, Marik is fused to the Winged Dragon of Ra due to his creation of a Shadow Game, so is able to use a De-Fusion card to separate himself. But Marik was only fused to Ra in the Shadow Realm - in the Duel Monsters game itself, they were never fused to begin with. Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light: Anubis uses his power to protect the Permanent Trap Card "Pyramid of Light" from being destroyed. Then, he uses souls to empower his Theinen the Great Sphinx and tenfolds its ATK. While tenfolding the ATK out of nowhere doesn't make sense in the English dub, Anubis actually activates Theinen's effect in the Japanese dub. Theinen gains ATK of all the monsters that are in Anubis' graveyard. After doing the math, Anubis does really have enough monsters with an amount of 31500 ATK in his graveyard.note 3x Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3x3000), Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (4500), Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon (3000), Familiar Knight (1200), Rare Metal Dragon (2400), Des Feral Imp (1600), Paladin of White Dragon (1900), Peten the Dark Clown (500, two of the three of them are banished), Spear Dragon (1900), Andro Sphinx (3000) and Sphinx Teleia (2500). Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions: In all of his duels, Aigami forces his opponents to play with modified rules, which include that the player has to expend their stamina to summon monsters. In Kaiba's first duel with Aigami, his willpower is enough to call Obelisk the Tormentor. He doesn't even have the card in his deck. The card appears on the ground and he picks it up instead of drawing from his deck. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: When Judai is losing against Zure the Knight of Dark World, Freed the Brave Wanderer sacrifices his life energy to insert his own card into Judai's deck. Judai draws it and manages to win. Afterwards, the card vanishes into thin air. Judai uses Super Polymerization to fuse himself with Yubel, his opponent. As you guess, the result of the duel is ambiguous. Yusuke Fujiwara uses magic to make Fubiki Tenjoin forget about his own cards, putting him at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Judai and Johan show up and break the spell. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Goodwin uses a bit of the power of the King of the Underworld to sabotage his three opponents by sending darkness condors at them. That's right. He doesn't use Monster Cards, but outside force. To make it worse, when Crow and Jack crash because of him, Goodwin uses the Riding Duel rules against them, even though he doesn't ride a D-Wheel to begin with. Yusei and Jack often manage to create and add new cards to their decks mid-duel. In the manga version, Akiza and Sherry have different psychic powers that give them an advantage in duels. Akiza can predict what card she will draw while Sherry can look through her opponent's eyes to see the cards in their hands. Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: A lot of fans think that Yuma's ability to use Shining Draw in ZEXAL Mode pushes the limits of fair play, but you can excuse him, seeing as the villains cheat worse. Eliphas, however, you cannot. His godlike powers and authority over the Astral World let him use the Shining Draw ability any time he wants (the equivalent of magical deck-stacking), as opposed to Yuma, who can use it at most twice per duel, and only in ZEXAL Mode. To make this worse, Eliphas sort of broke the bank on broken cards, his ace monster being a Rank 13 Xyz Monster that was able to gain 33 Overlay Units. (Most real players would consider that, well, impossible.) Ironically, despite this blatant cheating, Yuma was able to defeat him without Astral's help, using a Rank 1 Xyz Monster. In one of Yuma's duels against Vector, Vector is poised to win, as he has a Trap that will destroy Yuma's "Rank-Up-Magic Limited Barian's Force", which is the only card left in his deck, as soon as he draws it and then inflict enough damage to beat him. How does Yuma avoid this? He uses Shining Evolution to change the card as soon as he draws it to "Rank-Up-Magic Numeron Force". Vector calls him out and accuses him of cheating, but given Vector's atrocities and broken cards, Yuma doesn't care and beats him. Yuma uses all of ZEXAL Modes and Shining Draw abilities in his duel against Don Thousand. Yuma's partner Nasch also uses his Barian's Chaos Draw during the duel. To be fair, Thousand is a Purposely Overpowered villain with overpowered, game-breaking, and cheap monsters, and if they don't win, they will die and the world is over. Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: In the first episode, Yuya's pendant suddenly changes several of his cards mid-duel into Pendulum Cards. He is accused of cheating afterwards. Later, when Yuya fuses with Yuto, he is often able to change his cards mid-duel into Yuto's cards.

Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers! / int_c62995ba	comment	This attitude, to varying degrees, is a key plot driver in Child of the Storm. For instance, the British Wizarding World has this attitude in regard to the Muggle world, which is why Peter Wisdom a.k.a. Regulus Black is determined to use MI13 to bring them to heel by force. Ironically enough, the Avengers also tend to only obey the rules either when it suits them, or when they're on duty. They're a bit of a variation of the usual trope in that they do care for ordinary people and take great pains to protect them - they just don't really have time for mortal authorities and their politics. Indeed, most of the heroes (with certain exceptions) tend to regard rules as things to be obeyed when convenient, and the problems of this attitude are lampshaded and discussed, with some responses to it - e.g. Victor von Doom's sending Doombots to test and assess the Avengers, preparing for the day when they decide they want him gone is portrayed as understandable, and others, e.g. HYDRA and the Death Eaters coming together originally precisely because they're afraid the Avengers will go after them, are portrayed as the inevitable result of the Avengers' methods and tactics. As Word of God notes, just because the heroes hold this attitude does not mean it is a good thing. For one thing, a lot of the villains hold it too. As per canon, the entire reason the White Council exists, according to Ebenezar McCoy, is to hold this attitude in check among wandless Wizards (as it often leads to dark magic) and protect ordinary humanity from those less pleasant species that would use and abuse them, which is also why they often stay aloof of mortal disputes (for one thing, grudges and feuds can last for centuries with ordinary human lifespans. Wizards live for most of half a millennium). It's also the reason they heartily dislike/are wary of Doctor Strange, who has absolutely no qualms about getting involved in mortal politics, and persuades, manipulates, or outright bullies pretty much everyone into doing what he wants - he is, after all, the key representative of unchecked power. While Strange has his own, largely justified, reasons for what he does, you can see the Council's point.

Hisoka outright tells the chairman of the Hunters Association that the reason he wants to become a Hunter is that a Hunter License gets you out of most of the responsibility for committing murder. The chairman confirms this. The result is that would-be criminals wind up taking the Hunter Exam for an extra layer of legal protection. This becomes a political plot point later in the series.

Whether it is rule-breaking or not is debatable. Ishizu can see the future, allowing her to prevent bad moves and go the "good route", which is definitively unfair. In the end, the Pharaoh can draw any card he wants by manipulating destiny. Marik creates a Shadow Game against Joey, who he repeatedly attacks with his monsters not for the purpose of defeating Joey within the rules of the game, but by draining his energy so much that Joey passes out seconds before he would have defeated Marik. Incredibly, Kaiba declares that this is allowed and awards victory to Marik. In the final against Yugi, Marik is fused to the Winged Dragon of Ra due to his creation of a Shadow Game, so is able to use a De-Fusion card to separate himself. But Marik was only fused to Ra in the Shadow Realm - in the Duel Monsters game itself, they were never fused to begin with.

One particularly nasty example is Zang Li, who is introduced by commanding a random beauty to come back with him and share his bed that night, in the full expectation that she will comply and nobody will do anything about it because he thinks he's the most powerful cultivator in the neighborhood. This is also why Jin freaks out when he realizes that he actually is the most powerful cultivator in the province: he's terrified that having that kind of power will inevitably push him into becoming a Jerkass like the ones he fled his old sect to avoid.

That's right. He doesn't use Monster Cards, but outside force. To make it worse, when Crow and Jack crash because of him, Goodwin uses the Riding Duel rules against them, even though he doesn't ride a D-Wheel to begin with. Yusei and Jack often manage to create and add new cards to their decks mid-duel. In the manga version, Akiza and Sherry have different psychic powers that give them an advantage in duels. Akiza can predict what card she will draw while Sherry can look through her opponent's eyes to see the cards in their hands.

Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers! / int_dc4363c5	comment	This is widespread among vampires on True Blood. Although their public relations campaign claims that they just want to be a part of normal human society, including having equal civil rights, they have no problem with breaking the law if they think they can get away with it. In particular they are not above using mind control on humans and/or feeding from people without their consent. In one episode, Bill even subverts the rule that vampires aren't allowed to enter a human's home without an invitation by glamoring one of them and having that person invite him. It's seen that many vampires murder humans for blood with impunity, and thus the anti-vampire human fanatics (who don't distinguish them from the nicer vampires) aren't entirely wrong about them. It's really difficult to rein in someone with their powers and the vampires' own government doesn't care about that, only violence against other vampires.

Beyond that, they could arbitrarily declare - and be obeyed - that people shut down their businesses, entire noble clans commit mass suicide, wars be arbitrarily ended, or anything else they could think of.

But for both versions, they caused mayhem because they were bored, nobody was powerful enough to stop them, and they spent several years in forced stasis with the words "Kill Son Goku" repeated over and over.

There can be no consequences for the actions they take out in 'Shadow' (their word for any dimension except their own) since they can simply depart after they have what they want. They also for the most part view people from "shadow" dimensions as being less real than themselves, leaving them with few qualms about, say, conning hundreds of thousands of them into dying for the cause.
