Line 47:
* One of the earlier examples of this trope, [[Badass Normal]] [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Hawkeye]] decided that a quiver full of trick arrows wasn't enough, and started using Hank Pym's old Giant-Man gear to become the first Goliath. He eventually went back to his Hawkeye persona, but has occasionally donned the Goliath suit on a situational basis.
* ''[[Top Ten]]'' takes a rather unique approach to this problem. The [[Prequel]] ''The Forty-Niners'' explain that after the allies won [[World War Two]], they build a city and relocated all the Superhumans, [[Badass Normal]]s and [[Mad Scientist]]s who survived the war there.
{{quote|'''Steve "Jetlad" Traynor''': ''Th-This is '''nuts'''. '''Everybody's''' a [[Differently-Powered Individual|science-hero]]! I mean, this will never work, the government, this whole relocation thing, it's just...''<br />
'''Leni "Sky Witch" Muller''': ''The war's over, ''mein junge'', and now nobody wants us living next door to them.'' }}
* Alan Moore's [[Miracleman]]/Marvelman was one of the first to use this trope. The government-created supers turn out to be too powerful for the government's liking, so it tries to kill them all. {{spoiler|It doesn't work, and the supers and aliens take over the world for its own good. Eventually, everyone is offered the chance to become superhuman. There is some musing on some fundamental humanity that they have lost in becoming superhuman.}}
