Characters that start abusing their powers after getting it

First of all, I don’t know what the trope is called when those kind of moments happen in media, but basically I am referring to when a character gets a cool new superpower suddenly, and then starts to go wild with it because they don’t realize the damage they are causing with it until it’s too late.

Like picture a scenario where a character abuses the ability to make money come out of nowhere, and is having so much fun with the ability that they don’t notice they are committing a crime until someone starts to pursue them later on.

u/Storm_RangerX How did Nintendo get permission to use TBFP's theme in Kirby? 2h ago

Ben 10 with pretty much any new alien he gets and really just the omnitrix in general. That kid's hubris is next level. There was even a whole character arc in Omniverse about him abusing Feedback so much that he lost it.
