With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'' arc "[[Happy Fun Ball|Doom Panties]]". Chloe always a shy nice girl, except when her friend shared a bottle and "her inhibitions just melted". When her [[Succubus]] powers got boosted, she began to "[[Power High|feel awesome]]" and put up quite a show, quickly rolling to the "scary" side. No malice at all, but Chloe won't let anything stand on the way of her fancy—and since she got an excess of power to begin with, for almost anyone else it's a cue to take cover.

* Nerissa of ''[[WITCH (animation)|WITCH]]'' is a sad example of this. She was actually pretty well-adjusted until she gained control of the Heart of Candracar. The Oracle tried to cut her off at the pass, making her hand it over to her best friend, Cassidy. All it did was drive Nerissa farther into needing it, in which she killed her friend in cold blood. A good generation later, she comes back, pulling off a massive [[Xanatos Gambit]] to obtain more Hearts "for the greater good of the universe".

* ''[[Pay Me, Bug!]]'': [[Telepathy|Telepaths]] are in danger of going insane if they aren't trained to handle their power early enough.

* ''[[The Questport Chronicles]]'': The Master of Darkness, one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world, is also utterly insane. It's implied that part of this is due to returning from death.
