Line 33:
* In ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' 's Sonic Universe side-series, the demigod Enerjak is invincible, and makes a note to rub this in Silver(who is dueling)'s face. Upon mentioning that Silver is not strong enough, skilled enough, or wise enough to best him, Silver realizes Enerjak is correct. He proceeds to redirect Enerjak's attacks at him, actually cracking his armor and inflicting pain on the demigod for the first time in decades. Enerjak is promptly drained of his powers moments later.
* In an [[Archie Comics]] story, Veronica designs and creates a beautiful ballroom gown, planning to wear it to the biggest dance of the year; Cheryl Blossom steals it in order to show her up and be the center of attention. Unfortunately for Cheryl, while Veronica is a decent designer, she's a poor seamstress; the dress falls apart while she's wearing it. [[Defeat by Modesty|At the dance.]] Still, this is a [[Pyrrhic Victory]] for Veronica; while the result humiliates Cheryl, it also exposes her shoddy work.
* The hero team parody ''The Inferior Five'' are pretty incompetent as heroes, and they often save the day because the bad guys do themselves in. One good example is their first appearance, where the villainous [[Mad Scientist| Dr. Gregory Gruesome]] tries to ambush Dumb Bunny with his [[Ray Gun]]; the heroine is touching up her makeup using a compact, doesn't even know he's there, and the ray hits the compact mirror, and is deflected back at Gruesome, knocking him out.
