* In ''[[Danny Phantom]]'', Danny uses the [[Power Nullifier|specter deflector]] on Vlad to weaken him to make it a fair fight. Later episodes show them pummeling each other on equal terms due to Danny's [[Character Development]].
* ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]'' and ''[[Justice League]]'' weakened Superman severely so he couldn't curb stomp everything and the other members of the league could be useful. This also gave most supervillains a (vague) chance against him, since he felt pain from most attacks (more [[Heroic Willpower]] than [[Nigh Invulnerability]].)
** ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]'' used [[Kryptonite Factor]] [[Kryptonite Is Everywhere|everywhere]] of course. They also used the Parasite to [[Added Alliterative AppealAlliteration|sap Supes' strength]], and in one episode they removed yellow sunlight so [[Gadgeteer Genius|Luminus]] could fight [[Brought Down to Normal|Superman]] one-on-one.
** He did receive a major buff at ''[[Justice League]]'' season 2, since so many fans complained he became a superwimp. He can still be physically exhausted (see "Secret Society") but it takes a LOT more effort.
** And of course it was eventually revealed that he was [[World of Cardboard Speech|inhibited the whole time]] out of [[Your Worst Nightmare|fear of hurting others]].
