Brought Down to Normal: Difference between revisions

* Blackbeard of ''[[One Piece]]'' has [[Anti-Magic|the power to inflict this to other characters]] for as long as he's touching them. So far this has happened on-screen to [[Playing with Fire|'Fire Fist' Ace]] and [[Rubber Man|Luffy]].

** He also uses this ability on {{spoiler|Whitebeard,}} resulting in a [[Curb Stomp Battle]]. {{spoiler|Delivered by Whitebeard.}}

* Half-demon ''[[Inuyasha]]'' loses his powers and becomes fully human once a month, under the new moon. He hates it with a passion, and with good reason, since he ends up severely injured and/or in mortal danger almost every time. Luckily for him, his demon strength and [[Healing Factor|super healing abilities]] always return just in time.

* In ''[[Kanokon]]'', Chizuru temporarily loses her powers (and her breasts) and has to cope without them. She never cares about her power being sealed, though. She just wants her breasts back.

 

== Films -- Animated ==

* ''[[The Wild Thornberrys]]'' did it in [[The Movie|their movie]] with Eliza's loss of her power to [[Speaks Fluent Animal|talk to animals]].

 

* A comedic pseudo-example is an episode of ''[[Seinfeld]]'' where George finds himself getting very bad at lying.

* Barney Miller, the "backup bionic guy" in ''[[The Six Million Dollar Man]]'', had his bionics "throttled back" to normal human level after his initial appearance.

* In ''[[Charmed]]'' there was an episode where Cole had to fully give in to his demon side in order to protect the girls which left him as a mindless beast for all of ten seconds before they used a spell to permanently remove his powers, leaving him mortal for a while and hating it. {{spoiler|He then went on to assume the throne of the underworld and become the Source of all Evil in the world but hey, there was a difficult transition period. Where he went from there is difficult to follow. Cole sort of embodies [[Powers as Programs]]}}.

** Leo also loses his Whitelighter powers mid-series, after choosing his family over his responsibility as Whitelighter. {{spoiler|Subverted in that, unlike Cole, he never regains his powers.}}

* One episode of ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' had a computer virus infect Terry's batman-suit-mini-[[Power Armor]] thing, forcing him to go it with just a utility belt and domino mask rather than flight, invisibility, super strength, etc. Turns out he picked up a few of the bat-skills from Bruce after all.

* ''[[Re Boot]]''. Part of the plot for My Two Bobs involved Bob bringing ''himself'' down to normal in order to be more "original" like the other Bob. Hexadecimal was also brought down to normal earlier when a viral scan reformatted her into a Sprite.

* ''[[Max Steel]]'' did this near the end of the first series. After an argument between Max and Rachel about Max relying on his powers over his training, he (naturally) loses them for the episode. However, he hates this fact and is all too willing to get his powers back.

{{quote|'''Rachel''': How are you feeling?

* In ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', for the better part of a season {{spoiler|Aang lost the ability to go into the [[Super Mode|Avatar State]]}}.

* The ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'' episode "Duck Blind" has Darkwing lose his sight after exposure to Megavolt's new magnetic superweapon. After a period of self-pity, he manages to overcome the initial loss by shutting down all lights in Megavolt's lair, bringing the fight to his advantage thanks to his now enhanced hearing. [[Status Quo Is God]] is followed by a second exposure to the superweapon restoring his sight.

{{quote|'''Baby Shredder''': Regular people!

'''Nega-Chin, Bull-E, & Dr. Crocktopus''': Without powers!
