* Danny Chase in the comic book version of ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]''. He was even designed to ''look'' like Cousin Oliver. Combine this with abrasive personality, lack of codename, costume, or original powers and he quickly became a [[
** In other words, Danny Chase is to the Teen Titans what Zan, Jayna, Wendy and Marvin are to the ''[[Super Friends]]'' Justice League.

* Little Nicky in ''[[Fresh Prince of Bel Air]]'', though he's a bit of a [[Subverted Trope|subversion]] since he managed to avoid becoming the show's [[The Scrappy|scrappy]]. Partly because his [[Intergenerational Friendship|friendship]] with Will was amusing and he was not a [[
