* In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', the creation of [[Super Soldier|Artificial Mages]] is explicitly banned.

* Pretty much Jobe Wilkins' ''raison d'etre'' in the [[Whateley Universe]]. He has genetically engineered a synthetic [[The Fair Folk|Sidhe]] that is essentially a dark elf hottie. He has invented serums that can turn people into transhuman monsters... and he ''has used them on people who annoyed him''. He has invented a serum that gives people strength, endurance, and healing abilities... by turning them into what amounts to feral orcs who are put to work in his father's mines.

** Also {{spoiler|J.C. Denton}} in "Helios ending" closed by Voltaire's aphorism "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him".

* [[Warhammer 40000|Notice a certain setting that has an example on every point of the list?]]
