** 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]].
** ''[[Justice League]]'' occasionally did it for other characters too. A good example is where [[Wonder Woman]] was poisoned to give [[Aquaman (Comic Book)|Black Manta]] [[Captain Ersatz]] Devil Ray, an [[Blatant Lies|entirely original character not related to Aquaman]], a decent chance against her in hand-to-hand.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'': At the end of Season Two, Aang undergoes spiritual training that will allow him to enter the Avatar State at will. With that ability, Aang would've been able to take on Fire Lord Ozai then and there and end the war. So naturally, the first time he tries to invoke this power, he's nearly killed when Azula blasts him in the back with a lightning strike. When Aang recovers, he finds his injuries have blocked his chakra, sealing hm off the Avatar State. He doesn't get it back until the [[Grand Finale]] (the end of Season Three).
