Line 50:
* In ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'', it's implied that [[The Hero|Kotetsu]] had this problem back when was a child ("I'm not supposed to touch anyone when I'm like this. I'll hurt people."), which was why he was ashamed of his NEXT abilities up until he encountered Mr. Legend.
** After the seventeenth episode, {{spoiler|Kaede}} develops the ability to [[Ditto Fighter|copy the powers of the last NEXT she's touched]]. The last NEXT she's touched? Kotetsu. She destroys the kitchen simply trying to drink tea.
* Sakura Haruno in ''[[Naruto]]''. While training with Tsunade during the time skip of the original series, Sakura acquires the same herculean strength that she has. But of course, whenever Naruto does anything Sakura thinks is stupid, she manages to find some petty reason to pound the tar out of him and send him flying with just one punch.
Line 62:
** In [[Infinite Crisis]], a character named Superboy Prime (he's from the real world) attacks the DCU's Superboy, beating him badly whilst causing a huge amount of damage to the town of Smallville, until a (fairly large) group(s) of other heroes arrive as back-up. When a heroine named Pantha calls him a 'stupid kid', he retaliates by proclaiming that he isn't stupid, seemingly with the intention to merely smack her across the face...... He ends up taking her head off and killing her, visibly shocked when he notices the blood on his hand.
** In ''Superman Annual #8'', Pounder, one of a far-future League of Supermen in who have each been genetically engineered to have ''one'' of Superman's powers, has support staff who have to do ''everything'' for him, because it's not safe for him to touch things. (The whole League is [[Blessed with Suck]], in fact.)
** In ''[[Superman: Secret
* On the other hand, [[Supergirl]] does this in on occasion, for example in one of Redan's ''Batman and Superman'' comic strips. Then again, she was still learning to control her powers.
** One of the explicit differences between Superman and Supergirl is that Superman has mental blocks he imposed on himself so there's an upper limit to how much power he'll use, while Supergirl has no such blocks, allowing her to at times be ''stronger'' than her cousin.
Line 94:
* Paul, in spades, in ''[[With Strings Attached]]''. Compounded by his having two levels of strength, “low” (where he can lift about 8 tons) and “high” (where he can lift at least 90 tons). After practicing day and night (literally) for several weeks he can act relatively normal at “low” strength (though he still breaks things if he doesn't take care); however, at “high” strength, which he tries not to use unless practicing, he can just barely function in the real world. He is continually conscious of his strength, so that in proximity to other people, he hardly moves, and he never makes sudden gestures.
* Mentioned a couple of times in ''[[The Secret Return of Alex Mack]]'' as having happened to {{spoiler|Willow Rosenberg}} as a child, most notably when she accidentally injured her father by greeting him too enthusiastically.
