Line 31:
** One episode in the first season, probably the first time this happened, is when a man dying of very violent super epileptic seizures due to having Kryptonite imbedded into his skin all over his body holds Luthor Corp, and a school trip class, hostage inside the building. In the end, Clark, who's been unable to get near him, manages to pull both him AND Lex Luthor to safety while in terrible pain from being so close. He saved the day.
* Jaffa from [[Stargate SG-1]] occasionally had to deal with the deadly 'kryptonite' factor of being without a symbiote (which acts as their immune system and accounts for their superhuman healing ability) for an extended period. This weakness eventually leads to widespread use of [[Tretonin]] to replace the dependance, including necessarily by Teal'C and Bra'tac {{spoiler|after Teal'C has to keep himself and Bra'tac, both injured and in bad mental shape after the Jaffa army they were leading has been decimated, alive with just one symbiote between them, which eventually gives out due to fatigue after they're both rescued.}}
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[The Life and Times of Juniper Lee]]'' lampshades this trope intentionally with Boomfist, the title heroic character of a [[Show Within a Show]] who has a rather common weakness, ordinary milk. When magic is used to bring the hero to life, trying to fight the villain naturally causes him to succumb to it; Rey-Rey tries to encourage him by bringing up all the times in the comics he overcame it, eventually realizing, "come to think of it, you've overcome your weakness to milk a lot." Fortunately, it ''does'' encourage the guy to fight it off.
