* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''
* In ''[[Angel]]'', Jasmine fits this trope: {{spoiler|supposedly a former [[Powers That Be|Power]] who comes from another dimension to spread peace and love, albeit doing a lot of horrific things to allow herself to be incarnated bodily. She also achieves her aims through mind control and eating people.}}
* In ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'',* Anya wasn't exactly a god, butwas a demon with a great deal of power, (granting[[Reality Warper|warping reality]] to [[Literal Genie|grant wishes]] to scorned women). Then she got trapped in the form of a normal high-school girl.
** Also Illyria. The loss of powers was definitely not an intended result in her case.
*** Illyria is actually only an Old One, a group is very powerful and old pure demons. Her title as God-King is self given.

* In ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'', Q got demoted to mortal as punishment from the other Qs. Later, the same happened to his son.
* Some Ancients in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' would chose to descend from their "[[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence|ascended]]" status, forfeiting all of the cosmic enlightenment (and in some cases, the memories) they gained while in that form. Also Daniel.
