Line 2: {{quote\|''"I gotta tell you, I'm glad he's on our side, because can you imagine a criminal so neat that he never leaves behind any hair or fingerprints?"'' \|'''Detective [[Law and Order: Criminal Intent\|Zach Nichols]]''' on Adrian [[Monk]] in a [[USA Network]] promo. }} So that guy can [[Superman\|lift heavy objects, fly, move at super speed, see through things, and shoot fire out of his eyes?]] Damn, it's a good thing that he's a [[Superhero]] because he would make one hell of a villain. Basically, this trope is when a character expresses the sentiment that it's a good thing that so-and-so is on their side, because they would make a dangerously formidable enemy. Sometimes this is followed up with the joke "at least I think s/he is" or a variant thereof. Or a less certain "...he is, right?" Line 10: This is also likely to be said by someone who works with a [[Heroic Sociopath]]. Sometimes spoken directly to the person in the form of "I'm glad you're on our side"." {{examples}} == [[Advertising]] == * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIy-eSK4hqA This commercial] for ''[[Transformers]]'' toys; Rodimus Prime says he's glad the [[Dark Is Not Evil\|Monsterbots]] are on ''their'' side. == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * In ''[[Soul Eater]]'', Maka says this of {{spoiler\|Ragnarok after his and Crona's [[Face Heel Turn~~\|Face Heel Turns~~]]s when he effortlessly blocks an attack from a [[BFS\|Giant]] [[Chainsaw Good\|Chainsaw]] and topples the Golem wielding it}}. Maka even goes as far as to express surprise and [[Fridge Horror]] that {{spoiler\|she once fought it}}. * In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)\|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', one of the Briggs soldiers says this about {{spoiler\|Ling/Greed}} when he single-handedly drives off Bradley's reinforcements. == [[Comic Books]] == * [[Inverted]] in ''[[Watchmen (comics)\|Watchmen]]'': {{spoiler\|The heroes are dismayed to realize who ''isn't'' on their side after all, because of his capabilities.}} * In the first issue of ''[[Superman]]'', a group of politicians/law enforcement types say this of Superman at the end. == [[Fan Works]] == * In ''[http://www.eyrie.net/UF/FI/l-n-f.txt Lost and Found, or, a Time Lord's Holiday]'', a story from ''[[Undocumented Features]]'', Magneto, recently arrived in the UF 'verse from the Marvel universe, catches a piece of falling machinery with his magnetic powers when the local version of [[The Legion of Super Heroes\|Rokk "Cosmic Boy" Krinn]] fails to stop it with his own powers. Later, still awed by the unbelievable magnitude of Magneto's abilities, Krinn says to a coworker, ""Can you imagine if that guy ever went off the rails? He'd be all but unstoppable. Thank the gods he's on -our- side." == [[Film]] == * McCoy says this about Uhura in ''[[Star Trek III: The Search For Spock\|Star Trek III the Search For Spock]]''. * ''[[Ultimate Avengers]]'' {{quote\|'''Giant Man:''' Who's the chick with the hammer?

While not exacly on Shepard's side, Garrus is "glad he's friendly". * Inverted in [[Left 4 Dead]] the Tank's not on your team, but Rochelle wishes he was. * Pretty much every [[Psychonauts\|Psychonaut]]. They can wreathe things in fire with ease, drop a giant rock on your head with telekinesis, psi-blast you in the face, and it's implied that they have the power to make your head explode with their minds. * In ''[[Star Wars Battlefront]] II'', if you go on a killing streak your allies make comments.
