Supervillains usually don't care about who is superpowered and who is not. They just use their abilities to commit crimes or Take Over the World for egotistical reasons. This guy, however, is specifically motivated to get power so those like him would rule, not just for himself. This is a bad guy with superpowers who believes that this gives them the right to rule over non-supers. The motives of such a villain may be that of a Social Darwinist who believes superpowers to be the ultimate example of Might Makes Right, or someone who thinks non-supers should be ruled "for their own good". They might have been or seen others like them suffer prejudice for their powers by the ignorant, fearful, and/or jealous masses and decided they don't need to take that lying down. They may even see supers as a nascent Master Race on a higher evolutionary level than non-supers or take after a certain group of racial imperialists when the author wants to make the implications especially transparent. May develop a literal god complex as well or come to think of themselves as an Ultimate Life Form. Obviously, this sort of villain is a manifestation of the idea that the existence of individuals with superpowers is inherently bad for those who do not possess them. A Sub-Trope of Fantastic Racism and Beware the Superman. The Opposite Trope of Pro-Human Transhuman, a superpowered individual who considers themselves equal to Muggles. Sister Trope to Transhuman Treachery and Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers!. Contrast Muggle Power for the inverse of non-supers seeing themselves as superior to supers. See also Smug Super, when someone with superpowers merely uses them to gloat. A Superman Substitute often goes this route when an author wants to deconstruct the Superman archetype without incorporating the big blue boy scout himself. Pretty much guaranteed to be a Visionary Villain. No relation to Sub-Par Supremacist, who falls far below the standards of even the Muggles he claims to be better than. |

X-Men: The mutants usually have to deal with persecution directed at themselves by humans, but some mutants conversely believe that Homo Superior was designed to rule over regular humans. Magneto, from his experiences in a Nazi concentration camp, believes that humans rightly fear mutants because mutants are their evolutionary replacements. Depending on the Writer, he believes that fear and prejudice are a product of their innate inferiority and that the inherent diversity within the mutant species would allow them to overcome said prejudices if freed from humanity's chains. He is (sometimes) unable to see the irony in how being a mutant supremacist makes him no better than a human supremacist. (But again, this depends on the writer.) At other times, he's just resigned himself to being the monster that mutants need to protect them. This places him in direct opposition to Professor Charles Xavier, who believes that humans and mutants can and should co-exist. Magneto's Ultimate counterpart takes this to frightening extremes, outright believing that normal humans deserve to be exterminated (save for a couple kept in a zoo for conservationist purposes, of course). Apocalypse is Magneto's philosophy taken to an even more frightening conclusion. Apocalypse not only believes that humans are obsolete, but also that there is no room for mutants who lost the Superpower Lottery and got Blessed with Suck. To Apocalypse, survival of the fittest is all that matters, which means that there is no difference between a Muggle and a weaksauce mutant. Both equally deserve extinction. Mystique remorselessly threw her prepubescent son Graydon Creed into the streets upon realizing that he was not going to develop into a mutant. She was also responsible for transforming the Brotherhood of Mutants from the stock comic book supervillain team it was under Magneto into the Super Supremacist form of a political activist group we know it as today. As of X-Men (2019), all of the X-Men seem to have tacitly taken up this belief — or at least, a very passivenote Though they are not above keeping even their worst criminals out of human justice systems now, they're at least not attacking humans outright yet and insular version of it — with a clearly stated belief that they are set to become Earth's dominant species. They're only waiting around on their island state of Krakoa because they intend on simply waiting until mutants become the dominant species (as they will in the next 20 years or so). And all of this is overseen by Professor Xavier. There've been hints of this among certain X-Men before, but this is the first storyline that's had the team as a collective embrace this attitude. The in-universe justification for the attitude switch is, in a nutshell, that they tried the passive resistance and pursuit of integration approaches, and were met with repeated attempts at genocide. So now they're going to start being a bit more assertive about their rights, and if humanity doesn't like it, tough luck. It's hinted throughout the run that not all X-Men really hold to this belief, with a number of them uncomfortable with the over supremacism that many of their countrymen espouse, until Immortal X Men all but verifies it. Indeed, Xavier reveals that he hates the fact that mutant supremacy has become the underlining philosophy of Krakoa, but after being convinced by Moira's bad futures that the alternative was genocide, he agreed to make a show of it, just to get the other founders (who were die hard supremacists) on board. He acknowledges that this only served to harm the mutant agenda in the long run, and turned humanity against them even more. Unfortunately, with the others dead, exiled, or having left Krakoa, it's really just Xavier fighting for ideals he doesn't even hold himself, because it's all that's really keeping Krakoa together. |

Alphas: Red Flag/Stanton Parish, the main antagonist from season 1, believes that war between superhumans and normal humans is inevitable and that the superhumans deserve to win. It's more morally complex than usual, however, as it is finally revealed that he believes there would be No Place for Me There and his true intent is to convince the leader of the heroes, Dr. Rosen, to take over after he's exterminated the normal humans and rule as a genuinely benevolent leader. Rosen is not impressed. | |

In the Arrow episode of Crisis on Earth X, Overgirl, Supergirl's Earth-X counterpart, says they rule by Meritocracy, where the strongest (her and her husband) rule the lesser. Presumably, The Fuehrer (Oliver's counterpart, Dark Arrow) rules due to being married to her, as well as his own abilities. | |

In Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade, most students and teachers in Stanhope Elementary gain powers due to a strange radioactive meteorite, and they become total "I'm better than you because I have powers" jerkasses right away. Students with no powers are put into a special class in order to prepare them for their future lives as cannon fodder or innocent casualties in the battles between super-powerful beings. Ironically, the most powerful superhuman in the school is the one who doesn't adhere to that school of thought and is even pretending to be a normal human. | |

The Patternist novel Mind of My Mind shows the origin of the titular Psychics. Once they organize, they casually make mind-controlled puppets out of the Muggles in their town, "programming" them to serve the Patternists' whims. One member inadvertently reduces his muggle girlfriend to an obedient Empty Shell over time by reflexively pushing any inconvenient thoughts out of her head and doesn't care at all. | |

In Luminous Avenger iX, the Sumeragi Institute of Human Evolution, which used to oppress Adepts instead, now embraces Adepts and has been very good at wiping out humans/"minos". That's not to say they've stopped oppressing Adepts, however, as Sumeragi forcibly conscripts even Adepts who want nothing to do with killing minos into their ranks by threatening their lives or those close to them. Later it turns out this change of stance is because of the aforementioned Asimov having taken over the organization, with the game itself taking place in a Bad Future where Asimov killed Gunvolt and Joule. | |

Injustice: Gods Among Us and its continuation (and the comics set within the universe) all showcase the tale of a Superman that becomes this after the Joker nukes Metropolis and makes him an important part of the plan to make it happen (which makes him kill Lois Lane and his unborn child) for the sake of "playing on easy mode" for once. As well, about half of the Justice League decides to jump on the fascist bandwagon right behind him, and they slide down the slippery slope like there's no tomorrow, starting with getting a hell of a lot (read "murderously") tougher on crime and ending (on the "Power" Ending of Injustice 2) with Superman turning all of Brainiac's collected worlds and technology into his own private army and Batman into a roboticized slave with plans to conquer the universe (and on his Ladder ending, multiverse) for the sake of his idea of order. | |

The Boys (2019): The show has, like the original comic book listed above, Homelander, who uses his powers to fuel a god complex — he tells Starlight that "we're a different breed" and that she shouldn't be helping "these mud people". Stormfront thinks her powers make her above people without them, coupled with regular racism. She also plans on escalating a Supe arms race to create more Supes. Oh, and did we mention that she is a literal Nazi as well? Blue Hawk is a street-level hero who gets in hot water for Police Brutality in black neighborhoods. When A-Train is finally allowed by Homelander to call him out on it, he justifies it by saying that they were both trained to "dominate totally". After being forced to give an Ordered Apology, he gives a Backhanded Apology that leads to the crowd shouting "Black Lives Matter" at him to which he responds "Supe Lives Matter!" before attacking them in "self-defense". |

Harry Potter: Gellert Grindelwald planned a revolution in order to establish the wizards' power over the Muggle world. Even Dumbledore bought into these ideas for a while, though his motive was a personal one: his sister was tormented by a group of Muggle boys, which had tragic consequences for all his family, and he believed that this sort of regime is the only way to prevent such things from ever happening again. Years later, Voldemort really only wants power for himself, but draws most of his Death Eaters by preaching wizard superiority over muggles, and when they take over the Ministry of Magic from within in The Deathly Hallows, they basically turn it into a full-on fascist state. Despite moral opposition to people like Grindelwald and Voldemort being the norm, the vast majority of wizards are this to some degree. Even the "nice" wizards treat muggles with, at best, Condescending Compassion, while others treat them with contempt, and others treat them as little better than animals, and practically all of them regard muggles with a mix of bewilderment and fear. When Harry questions the need for the Masquerade, Hagrid explains it's simply because they don't want to be expected to magically solve all the world's problems overnight, with the implication that they're afraid of what would happen if they refused. |

Whateley Universe: Part of the Backstory concerning the Fantastic Racism seen in the series is that, when the first scientific understanding of mutation and mutant powers came to the public attention in the late 1950s and early 1960s, there was a large moral panic over the possibility of this, with mutants being portrayed as A Nazi by Any Other Name in several well-known books and films of the time. The fact that a number of mutant supervillains grabbed this Villain Ball and ran with it didn't help calm public fears over this. | |

The Batman: The Brave and the Bold version of Captain Atom is a more benign example: He'll gladly help innocent people without superpowers, but openly thinks they're useless for any task worthy of a superhero and is especially dismissive toward Badass Normal Batman. So naturally, Atom loses his powers for the episode, gets them back, and... just takes it as more proof that non-powered humans are helpless (even though he saved the day without any powers). | |

Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic: This is a common motivation for the Big Bad of the month. Usually, even the "bad guys" in the comic are Harmless Villains at worst, but many if not most of the leaders of the various factions think their people should be in charge. Thus, on the rare occasion that one leader decides to actually do something about it, some combination of heroes, Hero Antagonists, and Harmless Villains end up working together to stop things from getting completely out of hand. | |

Superman himself, while completely averting this in his mainstream incarnation, sometimes turns in this direction in dark alternate universes. Glaring examples include Superman: Red Son, in which his capsule crashes in the 1920s USSR instead of the USA and he becomes a Communist dictator of a vastly expanded Warsaw Pact, and The Multiversity: Mastermen, in which his capsule crashes in 1930s German-occupied Czechaslovakia and he becomes a Nazi world dictator. Of course, since they still have the same personality as the normal Superman, both the Commie and Nazi versions of Supes ultimately become The Atoner — and the former was Affably Evil at worst (though this arguably made things more creepy), patiently waiting for nations to join his communist utopia of their own free will, and genuinely wanting to protect humanity, particularly after Stalingrad goes the same way as Kandor... which is what lines to Lex Luthor bringing him down with a single Armor-Piercing Question: "Why don't you just put the whole world in a bottle, Superman?" | |

One-Punch Man: Choze claims to be from a clan of people who have practiced the greatest breeding program to create a superior race, and that they aim to rule the world because it's the natural order of things for a superior race such as themselves to rule over the inferior, weak and feeble races i.e everyone. Resembling the generic ideal of an 'Aryan Superman', he's also a practitioner of the 'Fist of the Pure Blood Master Race' martial arts style. Upon becoming a monster, he decides that he is going to wipe out all of the 'inferior specimens' of humanity and only let the 'master race' survive, and one of his new attacks is even called 'Inferior Race Annihilation Shot'. Arc Villain Psykos was Fubuki's Evil Former Friend who believed the duo's Psychic Powers put them above other humans. While Fubuki initially wanted to Take Over the World, Psykos crossed the line into Misanthrope Supreme and wanted to Kill All Humans, prompting Fubuki to have a Heel–Face Turn. |

The X-Men Film Series has Magneto take up this attitude, as usual. In the first film, he tries to forcibly mutate world leaders gathered at a summit so that they will have a vested interest in advancing mutants' rights, and in the second, he tries to force a mind-controlled Xavier to outright exterminate all non-mutant humans with Cerebro, and very nearly succeeds. | |

Pema is the grandchild of a Non-bending Air Nomad who was kicked out.

Azure Striker Gunvolt Series: In Azure Striker Gunvolt, your commanding officer Asimov is revealed to be this, with him claiming that Adepts, himself included, shall rule over the world and Kill All Humans. Our hero — an Adept himself — disagrees with the idea. Asimov came to this line of thinking after being used as a lab rat by Sumeragi and being treated by the head scientist as an abomination who shouldn't exist, never mind that Asimov became an Adept due to Sumeragi's experiments. In Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, Eden is all for this, its inhabitants all Adepts who have suffered Fantastic Racism for their powers and believe humans must be eradicated in order to pave the course for a better world. Their leader Zonda essentially admits that while Asimov had the right idea, he was going about it the wrong way. In Luminous Avenger iX, the Sumeragi Institute of Human Evolution, which used to oppress Adepts instead, now embraces Adepts and has been very good at wiping out humans/"minos". That's not to say they've stopped oppressing Adepts, however, as Sumeragi forcibly conscripts even Adepts who want nothing to do with killing minos into their ranks by threatening their lives or those close to them. Later it turns out this change of stance is because of the aforementioned Asimov having taken over the organization, with the game itself taking place in a Bad Future where Asimov killed Gunvolt and Joule. |

In Super Powereds, the Sons of Progress are Supers who believe that they are superior beings to those without powers and shouldn't serve them. They see Heroes as traitors to their own kind, policing Supers instead of ruling over humans. Naturally, they have no problems with using terrorist tactics. Even among the students, some espouse such beliefs, Rich being the most vocal one about it. He doesn't graduate but only because he realizes he isn't cut out for the harsh realities of Hero work. | |

In stories where Superman's people the Kryptonians are brought back for any length of time some of them are depicted as looking down on non-powered humans. It's the entire shtick of General Zod and his subordinates, and in the New Krypton stories the most Zod-influenced Kryptonians look at humans as ants. In Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade, most students and teachers in Stanhope Elementary gain powers due to a strange radioactive meteorite, and they become total "I'm better than you because I have powers" jerkasses right away. Students with no powers are put into a special class in order to prepare them for their future lives as cannon fodder or innocent casualties in the battles between super-powerful beings. Ironically, the most powerful superhuman in the school is the one who doesn't adhere to that school of thought and is even pretending to be a normal human. Last Daughter of Krypton: As much as Reign — an alien turned into a sentient biological super-weapon via bioengineering — is concerned, people with superhuman abilities should rule over the rest. Dark Knight III: The Master Race: The shrunken Kryptonian city of Kandor is revealed to have been taken over by a Super Supremacist cult led by the genocidal Quar at some point in the past, and after tricking Supergirl and Ray Palmer into restoring himself and his followers to their normal size, Quar destroys Kandor with his new heat vision, killing any survivors, before setting out to conquer Earth. Similarly, The Dark Knight Strikes Again ends with Superman apparently rejecting his past as a servant of humanity in the wake of the defeat of Lex Luthor and Brainiac, and now intends to rule them (benevolently) instead. He apparently changes his mind some time before the sequel, which instead ends with him retiring to Kansas to take up farming. |

A subtler example than usual; the villains of The Infected, Alpha Team, don't seem to bear regular humanity any ill will or believe their power gives them the right to rule.

The Boys: Homelander's plot to get out from under Vought's thumb involves seizing power and ruling over humanity. Complicated by the fact that he was gaslit by his clone, Black Noir, into complete psychosis, leading to his breakdown over being ordered around by a non-powered human. In fact, most of the superpowered community seem to have this attitude, as the majority of them are amoral hedonists who routinely abuse anyone and everyone they have the power to and think they could get away with, and it doesn't take much convincing for them to help Homelander assault Washington, D.C.. With how the average Supe apparently sees humanity as nothing but an endless reservoir of victims, Butcher's Fantastic Racism almost seems justified. |

In Orion's Arm, early "transapients" were split on what they thought the proper relationship between themselves and humans ought to be. Eventually, G.A.I.A. resolved the crisis by beating the lesser AIs at their own game and exiling everyone that refused to cooperate. By the modern day of the setting, all civilization is ruled over by the highest intelligences by virtue of their intelligence. "Equality" is quite simply impossible when the intelligence gap between two individual people can be greater than that between humans and bacteria. | |

Jujutsu Kaisen: Geto is introduced in 0 disparaging non-jujutsu sorcerer humans as "monkeys" he wishes to rid the world of. Originally, Geto thought the exact opposite — that sorcerers were responsible for protecting other humans from curses — but he became jaded in the face of human depravity. When someone points out curses are only created because humans can't contain their negative energy like sorcerers do, Geto decided the former's extinction was necessary for humanity to adapt. His team of sorcerers are mostly people who were scapegoated and persecuted by regular humans for their unusual abilities. The main antagonists of the series are especially powerful sapient curses who want their kind to take over the Earth. Geto is allied with them, which is mysterious given his previously shown goals, especially when he wanted to eliminate curses entirely. It turns out the real Geto was Dead All Along, and the one impersonating him is an Evilutionary Biologist. |

The Incredible Hulk himself is (sometimes) an example, as the "Banner" portion of his mind is typically portrayed as the side that drives him to save and protect humans. Absent of Banner, Hulk absolutely hates humans (and many other species, such as Human Aliens) and finds them puny and not worth his time. In the Bad Future of Future Imperfect, this mentality eventually led to him becoming the Maestro, a superhuman despot. | |

Dungeon: The Early Years: A professor of magic started a complicated plot in which he mind-controlled important people around the city and fathered children with their bodies, granting him an army of brainwashed Child Soldiers. He at first seemed to be on the Well-Intentioned Extremist side (as Horus put it, "if you cannot make kings into philosophers, then philosophers should be kings") but is really just an asshole who wanted to take over the city (his plan doubled as realizing his voyeurism kink to boot). One night, he ordered the children to kill their parents but was foiled at the last minute by a repentant Horus (who'd figured out his own son was among them) with a Hyacinthe and Marvin. Hyacinthe tells Horus to take every magician he can find and run before the city realizes what happened and call for a Witch Hunt. | |

Stranger Things: Season 4 villain Vecna (a.k.a. Henry Creel, a.k.a. One) espouses the belief that those like him (psychics like himself and Eleven) have inherent value while humans do not. He's closer to Apocalypse than Magneto, however, since he massacres all of the other special children save him and Eleven because they were not as "gifted" despite having psychic powers as well. | |

Switchblade: The original Meta Liberation Army is actually a subversion.

The modern Meta Liberation Army that merged with the League of Villains to become the Paranormal Liberation Front are a straight example, who genuinely believe those with strong Quirks deserve to stand at the top and do whatever they want. | |

In Incredibles 2, the Screenslaver forces mind-controlled supers to claim to be this to make non-supers too afraid of them to allow superpowers to be used again because of a long-standing grudge against superheroes. Bonus features on the supers reveal that superhero Gamma Jack believed this. |

Similarly, The Dark Knight Strikes Again ends with Superman apparently rejecting his past as a servant of humanity in the wake of the defeat of Lex Luthor and Brainiac, and now intends to rule them (benevolently) instead. He apparently changes his mind some time before the sequel, which instead ends with him retiring to Kansas to take up farming. | |

By the time of Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, the eponymous Big Bad and Fallen Hero Char Aznable has begun ranting about how "the people left on Earth do nothing but pollute it" and telling Amuro Ray to "give those ignorant people your so-called wisdom" when they duke it out in Londonion. | |

Child of the Storm: This series has the usual example of the Death Eaters (Voldemort is, as usual, more out for himself than anyone else), while Magneto is a (mostly) reformed example. It's also noted that even benevolently inclined magical people tend to assume a kind of paternalistic attitude towards Muggles, horribly underestimating what they're capable of. Nimue, the Big Bad of the side story Unfinished Business, is a particularly extreme example of the magical type, as she believes that magical people are inherently superior to Muggles and should rule over them. There's also some paranoia at play here too, since having lived through witch burnings in the past, she's convinced that magical people will always be targets and should therefore fight back preemptively. |

In Pokémon Reset Bloodlines, some bloodliners believe that they're superior to humans and Pokémon alike and thus deserve to rule over both. The most prominent examples are the Bloodline King, who directs an organization with aims of world domination, and one of the Seven Brothers of Orre, whose endgame plan involves siring hundreds of bloodliner children in order to fulfill an ancient prophecy, and one of them is none other than Ash Ketchum. | |

Kamala, a fellow Inhuman, is furious that Kaboom is not only threatening regular humans but also putting other Inhumans in danger by making them look dangerous. | |

Star Wars Legends has plenty of cases where the attitude is not confined to Sith — Sith are merely very open about it. Jedi versions of this usually involve some form of half-truth, keeping non-Force wielding allies Locked Out of the Loop, expressing a suspicion of democracy, and isolating themselves in enclaves and temples while their backyards burn. | |

Present in Mage: The Awakening, although executed unusually (and not related to inheritance because magic is an Enlightenment Superpower). Two main groups of mages believe that mages are superior to Sleepers. The group who are more likely to be protagonists, the Silver Ladder, see their role as rightful rulers of the Sleepers as one of a guide and protector, essentially believing that while they're supposed to rule over the Sleepers, with that authority comes great responsibility. They also try to turn more Sleepers into Awakened, as they believe everyone will Awaken one day. On the other hand, the antagonistic Seers of the Throne couldn't care less about responsibility; they see Sleepers as little more than sheep, fit only to be pawns of the Seers. | |

Babylon 5: Many human telepaths secretly feel this way, largely because the Psi Corps ingrains these beliefs into them from a young age. They believe that a war is coming between the telepaths and the "mundanes". They are also generally very displeased with any "mundane" who kills a telepath, even if that telepath was a rogue one. One such "mundane" got Thrown Out the Airlock in hyperspace, and the telepath pushing the button treated it as both a rite of passage and a loss of her virginity. This ultimately culminated in the Telepath War, which the telepaths lost, resulting in the Earth Alliance creating the Psionic Monitoring Commission to hunt down the remaining Psi Corps members and to re-integrate telepaths back into mainstream society to avoid a repeat of this trope. | |

In OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes, Foxtail is revealed to be an especially extreme example. Her Social Darwinistic attitude doesn’t just cover civilians, she also perceives heroes who lack powers or have weak ones as cannon fodder at best; when Dr. Greymann finds out about her honor student conspiracy and objects to it, she fires him and bluntly says she was probably going to do it anyway because she believes him losing his powers has rendered him useless. | |

Claw in Mob Psycho 100 is a Nebulous Evil Organisation of Espers who believe that their Psychic Powers put them above other humans. Their goal is to overthrow the world government in favor of a world ruled by Espers, with their leader Toichirou Suzuki at the top. They act as foils to Humble Hero Mob, who firmly subscribes to A God I Am Not. In general, the Super Supremacist mindset is quite common among Espers, especially very powerful ones, but Toichirou is one of the few with the power to conquer the world almost single-handedly if not for Mob being in his way. Mob's mentor Reigen gives them a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, declaring that they're naive to think they can control the world when they haven't gone out to experience it themselves. The series carries An Aesop that whether you are a complete muggle, or possess some one-in-a-million talent, you can't expect to gain self-respect or the recognition of others if you're too lazy to work on improving yourself as a human being. | |
