{{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 spoken directly to the person in the form of "I'm glad you're on our side"."
