The character, usually surrounded by Kryptonite and severely weakened, in a lot of pain, and sometimes already badly injured, uses [[Heroic Willpower]] to work through the pain and proceed to save his own or his friends' lives, and kick the ass of the [[Smug Snake]] who thought they could just wave a rock in his face and win. This is a tough trope to use correctly: if overdone or used too often then the dramatic purpose of a [[Kryptonite Factor]] is lost. Hence, in extreme cases, this precipitates a case of [[Heroic RROD]] and ultimately a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] as the punishment his body has endured kills him. Or not. |
