** It's more that the jumpers are different and different is bad. Those guys need to watch more [[Sesame Street]].
* Syndrome takes both options in ''[[The Incredibles]]'', reacting to what he sees as a snub by his hero for all the wrong reasons. Buddy was endangering himself and Mr. Incredible by being an untrained and self-appointed "sidekick," but Buddy misinterpreted it as being rejected because he had no superpowers. So, when Buddy grows up, he puts all his [[Gadgeteer Genius]] ability into making weapons and gear that allows him to be a genuine threat, enacting a vendetta on all super-abled people out of petty revenge, and then saying that he would sell his weaponry openly, making it so "if everyone is super, then no one will be."
* The [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] in general puts a spotlight on this trope in various degrees. What stands out the most, arguably, is found in ''[[Captain America]]: Civil War'', given how the gulf between normal humans and superpowered people are among the driving conflicts in the film. {{spoiler|A villainous example is also found in Helmut Zemo, a Sokovian spec-ops officer with no powers whatsoever, [[The Bad Guys Win|succeeding in taking down the Avengers]] where Loki failed.}}
