In fiction, it's very common that a character's life drastically changes after they get superpowers. The first thing most people do (after dealing with the person bullying them throughout act 1), is strap on their shiniest cape or nicest dog-kicking boots and become the local hero or villain. Not this character. When this character gets superpowers, the first thing they do is... not much. They use their powers to marginally improve their lives, and simply do what they feel like. They don't (openly) care about the typical Black-and-White Morality struggle (unless their mother gets kidnapped by the Evil League of Evil, or is staked by the local Knight Templar). Their behavior is probably how most ordinary people would act if they got superpowers. They aren't particularly mean, nor especially kind. They are just ordinary people given extraordinary powers. Often this is how characters in shows on the center of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism act before the plot shows up. If there are other characters that have chosen to become heroes or villains, they (more often than not) will tell this character that they are either selfish or wasting their potential. While plot-wise most characters are given superpowers for the purpose of beating up other guys with superpowers, this kind of character (who might use Heart Is an Awesome Power in that case) can be used in Slice of Life situations and make a plot interesting without an antagonist that must be beaten. Differs from Mundane Utility in that Mundane Utility is where a superpower can be/is used to enhance a character's everyday life, whereas with this trope that's all their powers are used for. Opposite trope of With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility and With Great Power Comes Great Insanity. Related to Cut Lex Luthor a Check and Chaotic Neutral (they tend to do whatever they want). The more benign Sister Trope to Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers!. |

This is actually a point in the Alpha storyline: a listless, ordinary teenager is granted superpowers by accident and, instead of being an actual hero, he becomes something of a media darling and a real Jerkass to boot. | |

In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, this is Kyoko's attitude after becoming a Magical Girl. Though initially an idealist like Madoka and Sayaka, after her minister father goes Pater Familicide on her family after learning he only had followers because of her wish, she decided to only use her powers for her own benefit. | |

In Worm, rogues are loosely defined as parahumans who are neither heroes nor villains and generally either use their powers to turn a legal profit or just ignore their powers and try to live normally. | |

In Wearing the Cape even the superheroes are working for big paychecks, and the more successful ones are idolized, with their own merchandise lines, fan clubs, even TV shows fictionalizing their adventures. This doesn't mean they're all in it for the perks—just that a superhero career can be financially remunerative. The trope name is also used as an epigram for a chapter, along with the original. | |

The Flash: There's a story where a man asks Flash if he ever realized the majority of superpowered individuals became villains instead of heroes, then corrects himself, instead saying they use their powers for their own benefits while living their lives out of the spotlight. Flash realizes that this actually makes a lot of sense. | |

Jupiter-Men: In stark contrast to Quintin's belief in With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility, Jackie would much rather use her Super-Strength for things like tipping over vending machines to get free snacks or pulling pranks on others. While Quintin is eager to help more people, Jackie believes they shouldn't make a habit of vigilantism despite how much fun she had stopping a mugging. | |

In Mystery Men, it's heavily implied that Captain Amazing became a millionaire after becoming a hero thanks to, basically, being a walking advertising board (imagine a NASCAR racer fighting crime). His problems at the beginning of the movie stem from waning interest in his heroic persona, meaning the companies are about to cut funding, ending his rich lifestyle. It is also mentioned he is a successful lawyer, so if anything may have merely wanted the attention. | |

In What Women Want, the main character got the power to read minds thanks to getting electrocuted while drunkenly crossdressing. He uses these powers to improve himself on dates (and give at least one lady some mind-blowing sex), to bond with his daughter, and manipulate women. He also uses it to be better at his job, by stealing ideas from his boss and female coworkers. | |

Chronicle features this in spades; after three high-school guys are given telekinetic powers by a mysterious artifact hidden at the bottom of a crater, they mainly use their newfound abilities to waste time in increasingly spectacular ways, from playing pranks on customers at a department store to playing football several thousand feet off the ground. Unfortunately, a very nasty combination of Abusive Parents and bullying at school eventually turns one of them into a supervillain. | |

In Aberrant, this is essentially what every nova does with their newfound powers. Granted, there are a few who use their powers in the classical superhero way, but even then they only do it for the fame or the money. | |

SCP Foundation describes all manner of supernatural anomalies (called SCPs), alive or otherwise, and the ways in which they are contained and hidden from the rest of humanity. A great many do not fit into this trope at all but have been treated as if they do by certain very eccentric people in positions of authority. (See The Things Dr Bright Is Not Allowed To Do At The Foundation) The foundation also, in a more straight version of this trope, have kept a few supernatural entities as company pets and tools. The SCPs that have free range of the facility (but NOT Might as Well Not Be in Prison at All) are: SCP-151 - The "Eye Pods", a pair of wheeled, one-eyed, one-foot tall creatures each roughly as intelligent as a housecat. They like to follow people around. Then again, they proved remarkably effective in containing SCP-173 when a researcher accidentally got locked in with it and they saved his life. The Foundation is considering using them as 173's new wardens. SCP-261 - Pan-Dimensional Vending, a vending machine that is used mundanely, but needs permission from at least a level 2 personnel and only ten times a day. For varying prices of Yen, you can have a serving of a random snack food that is not usually produced in the confines of reality, but it's never guaranteed to be edible. An extended list of SCP-261’s products can be viewed here. SCP-294 - The Coffee Machine is placed in staff breakroom, but only level 2 personnel are allowed to operate it and it's monitored by two guards at all times. SCP-294 is a coffee dispenser capable of producing 12 ounces of any liquid at a time. Repeat: Any liquid. For free. This includes gold, alcoholic beverages, the blood of an extinct species of bird, "a cup of music", "my life story", "the best drink I've ever had", "something Cassy (SCP-085, a benevolent two-dimensional entity that only exists on paper) would like" and "the perfect drink". SCP-368 - Paper Crane, a living origami crane. SCP-387 - Living Lego is a tub of supernatural LEGO. Anything built with them is fully functional and (depending on what the creation represents, such as a humanoid or an animal) alive. Staff are free to play with SCP-387 in their recreational time, provided that they disassemble their creations afterward. This has greatly improved morale, with Dr. Arch declaring in their notes that "people are really kids at heart here." However, children under 10 are NOT allowed to play with SCP-387. Turns out that if you let your 7-year-old play god, things get violent. SCP-458 - The Never-Ending Pizza Box can be accessed by anyone in Site 17. However, abuse of the SCP is discouraged. SCP-492 - Animated Cloth Dummy, a sapient humanoid animatronic that possesses level 1 security clearance. It was recovered from a pirate attraction from an abandoned amusement park. Staff calls him "Captain Jack". He’s old, but friendly. SCP-529 - Josie the Half-Cat. Not a Mix-and-Match Critter, but literally the front half of a cat. SCP-530 - Carl the Variable Dog. What is variable about him... well, varies. From day to day, Carl changes his dog breed and body mass. What also changes is his number of noses, mouths, limbs, eyes, ears, etc. None of this seems painful or voluntary on Carl's behalf. SCP-999 - The Tickle Monster, who is encouraged to stay in its playpen, but is otherwise free to roam around the facility. SCP-999 is a 120-lb orange Blob Monster with sapience. Touching SCP-999 makes its "victims" uncontrollably happy and laugh hysterically. SCP-999 loves to do this to people, also being a Friend to All Living Things. It turns out that being in the presence of 999 is a very good thing, as contact with this friendly fellow has been shown to not just calm people down, but can actively cure them of psychological conditions such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. |

Savage Avengers: Conan the Barbarian actually calls out Spider-Man when the webslinger lays the "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" spiel on him. Conan gives a scoffing laugh and counters with "Great power comes great rewards!". He then essentially tells Spider-Man that his mantra makes him a fool and worse - an enabler of the "corrupt kings" of this rotted city (New York). Spider-Man's so taken aback by what the Cimmerian says that he could only mount a lame comeback. Conan himself lives by this trope and uses his Cimmerian strength and newly bonded symbiote to earn enough money to get good food, fine drink, and hot women while he waits for a new mission with the Savage Avengers. | |

The Keys Stand Alone is about their struggle not to be heroes in a situation that tries to force this role on them, and they complain that all this adventuring nonsense doesn't give them a chance to do what they really want to do, which is have more fun and explore their powers further. George in particular has done a lot of reading and wants to become everything he can before his ring stops working permanently. | |

Both the titular character and Luke Cage in Netflix's Jessica Jones (2015) are variations on this at the start of the series; Luke only uses his indestructible body to break up fights in his bar, and Jessica, who has quit trying to be a hero mainly puts her super-strength to use by breaking locks and holding cars back while working as a PI/summons server. Kilgrave is a more sinister version; his power would make him a world-class threat if he could be bothered to use it, but he has no interests beyond his own hedonism (though he uses and discards people with no thought whatsoever in the pursuit of his whims), and becoming Jessica's nemesis is more about him being a Stalker with a Crush than the usual good vs evil battle. In his own series, Luke Cage starts out uninterested in being a hero and uses his immense strength mainly to move furniture. |

Likewise, in the Paragons setting for Mutants & Masterminds, you'll get just as many heroes who use their powers for personal fun times as do for altruistic aims. One sample NPC is Gourmand, who has the ability to teleport anywhere on Earth... and uses it to visit her favorite out-of-the-way restaurants across the globe (the fact that she has Immunities to gastric distress and weight gain help). | |

Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider Double: Many Dopants of the fortnight start out wanting to use their new abilities for petty tasks, such as a stage magician using Invisible to improve her act or a group of kids using Bird to take turns flying around the city. Unfortunately, one of the side effects of becoming a Dopant is an increasingly volatile temper, so they often don't stay harmless for long.

In Jumper, the main character spends the time between finding out he has powers and the plot jumping around, seeing the world, and occasionally leaving IOUs in emptied bank vaults (but with the serious intention of one day paying them back). | |

At the start of No Ordinary Family, only the father wants to be a superhero. The mother uses her Super-Speed to get her chores done and is more interested in the scientific implications. The son uses his super learning to get good grades in school and the daughter uses her telepathy to find out if a guy is a jerk. | |

In Doctor Strange (2016), Strange isn't much interested in putting his powers to any serious use until he literally has no other choice; until then, he masters the art of opening teleportation portals by stealing books from the library and uses his astral projection to read said books while his physical body sleeps. Granted, he's still a student at the time, but the prospect of fighting interdimensional threats definitely doesn't appeal to him when it's brought up - he originally was only interested in magic in the hopes of finding a way of regaining the fine dexterity necessary to go back to being a (very highly paid) surgeon again. | |

My Hero Academia: 80% of the population in this world have some kind of superpower. However, unlike other superhero works, most of the people have really mundane powers or powers that are not very strong. Having powers that are really strong and/or useful is somewhat rare. As a result, most people use their powers for personal mundane stuff. For instance, Izuku Midoriya's mom has the power to telekinetically lift small objects and pull them towards her, but her powers ae limited to objects no larger than a book. As such, it's not hard to see why she's content to just use her abilities to pick up her keys or other objects around the house. | |

In a What If? storyline, Spider-Man becomes a celebrity and superstar when he decides that catching the robber (who would otherwise kill Uncle Ben) is a good PR move, and ends up as a successful manager for supercelebrities wanting to jump the same bandwagon. Although this initially ends up benefitting several superpeople (the X-Men are no longer feared or hated), they suffer when serious threats show up, since the "heroes" don't have the training to stand up to them. Spider-Man in this timeline does ultimately become a hero after Daredevil sacrifices his own life to save him. | |

In The Covenant, the four boys descended from the Salem witches don't really do much with their powers, except freak out some cops with a flying car, manifest a gust of air to get a panty shot from a girl at the bar, and other pointless things. Slightly justified in that, after their 18th birthday, magic becomes Cast from Lifespan. They've known all their lives that magic is incredibly addictive, which has already led to the protagonist's father looking 90 and hooked up to life support despite being in his 40s. Using magic to solve other people's problems would probably result in a very short life. | |

Spider-Man: Peter Parker, at first, only used his power to get back at his bullies and make money through professional wrestling. It was only after a thief he could have stopped killed his uncle that he named the opposite trope and started using his powers as a superhero. Something akin to this was invoked, however, in a short story about Spider-Man as if Stan Lee had never existed. The moral becomes "With great power comes hot chicks and money from wrestling." This is actually a point in the Alpha storyline: a listless, ordinary teenager is granted superpowers by accident and, instead of being an actual hero, he becomes something of a media darling and a real Jerkass to boot. In a What If? storyline, Spider-Man becomes a celebrity and superstar when he decides that catching the robber (who would otherwise kill Uncle Ben) is a good PR move, and ends up as a successful manager for supercelebrities wanting to jump the same bandwagon. Although this initially ends up benefitting several superpeople (the X-Men are no longer feared or hated), they suffer when serious threats show up, since the "heroes" don't have the training to stand up to them.

Rainbow Toes, an Outsiders fanfic that was removed from the internet years ago, had Ponyboy Curtis fall into this trope after a case of hereditary Clownification made him into a permaclown with Reality Warping magical powers. After getting over the initial shock, he quickly found the perks of his situation and proceeded to just goof off. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, as shown in the page image. Admittedly, it must be hard to sew when you don't have hands. It overlaps with Mundane Utility as ponies with cutie marks fully utilize their special talents or powers in their everyday tasks and telekinesis seems to be the one universal capability possessed by all Equestrian unicorns. The show is also consistent in depicting unicorn telekinesis as being fairly "weak", good only for small- or medium-sized objects at close range, and nowhere close to Dark Phoenix power levels... Except for Twilight Sparkle, who's explicitly a considerable outlier in-universe and has also spent most of her life honing her magical abilities to the exclusion of much else. Rarity (pictured) has been seen to shift around a few hundred pounds in various objects simultaneously, but that was in a musical number and may not be "canon" as such. Besides, she's also had years of practice. | |

Great Lakes Avengers: Flatman, before he decided that he wanted more from life and became a superhero, made his living as party entertainer / Mr. Fantastic cosplayer. Apparently there is a surprising demand for people who can cosplay as heroes up to and including their powerset in the Marvel universe by rich people, and super-villains (which brings the occupational hazard of being heckled or occasionally outright attacked if the crowd is too unhinged). | |

When Makoto in The Girl Who Leapt Through Time discovers that she has the ability to, well, leap backward in time, she uses it almost entirely for things like singing karaoke for ten straight hours and having a dinner she likes instead of one she doesn't. On the other hand, the more significant the change she makes to the timeline, the more it tends to backfire on her dramatically. Both of the two other characters in the film who have experience with time travel separately say that it's a good thing that she used the ability almost exclusively for small things. | |

In April Daniels's Nemesis Series, this is a frequent occurrence. Broadly speaking, only people who engage in "caping" (outright super-heroics) refer to their gifts as superpowers. The rest lead normal lives and enjoy the perks their "special abilities" grant them. | |

Dragon Ball Z: Present Android 18 uses her powers only for personal gain and fun. She more often than not only cares about monetary gain and hardly ever gets involved in the Black-and-White Morality struggle. Future Android 18 is very much evil, taking this trope to a sociopathic extreme. After all, if you can blow up a city with a wave of your hand, you don't need to pay at the clothing store. While only in the anime, Yamcha also uses his superhuman combat training to earn boatloads of cash playing professional baseball, between each crisis. Given his lackluster combat performance aside from early in Dragon Ball, it's pretty much the only effective use of his training he displays. Still pretty stupid though, considering how much more money Mr. Satan makes as the reigning World Martial Arts Champion. Even Yamcha could take him in a fight if he wanted. Ostensibly none of the protagonists do this because they don't want to deal with living in the public eye, but if you are going to be a famous athlete anyways... |

Locke & Key: This was once the whole point of the Keys: though they were once used as weapons during the American Revolution, they eventually become toys for the Locke family to amuse themselves with, and the attempts to re-weaponize them during the World Wars went so badly that one Locke ancestor altered Keyhouse so that adults can't remember magic, ensuring that the Keys would remain in the hands of innocents. Rendell Locke and his friends used them for nothing but fun, even putting on the best performance of The Tempest his high school had ever seen. Unfortunately, Rendell sought to retain the magic of the Keys after he became an adult, accidentally unleashing one of the entities from behind the Black Door in the process - a threat that returns to haunt the Locke family in the present, forcing Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode Locke to use the Keys to defend themselves alongside their usual Mundane Utility. | |
