Line 337:
** In a later episode Bobby is trapped and facing a Japanese vampire while unarmed. He's up against a supernatural predator with superhuman strength and resilience, that can only die from being stabbed with a specifically blessed weapon (that he does not have). So he uses aikido to redirect the vampire's rush at him, throws it into a tree so hard that it ''bounces'', and then picks up the stunned vampire and feeds it through a nearby wood chipper. Turns out being reduced to bite-sized chunks also kills them just fine.
** The first two times we see Castiel in a fight, he gets the crap kicked out of him. Then there's the {{spoiler|first episode of Season 5,}} where he {{spoiler|shows up after being thought dead}}, casually dispatches two other angels, and intimidates his former superior into running like a child pretty much by telling him to. From then on he kicks ass consistently.
* ''[[Power Rangers]]'':
* Happens numerous times throughout ''[[Power Rangers]]'', most often on the part of [[Those Two Guys|Bulk and Skull]]. For example, in season 2, after the Rangers lost their memories due to the [[Monster of the Week]], Bulk and Skull stand up to the monster. They fail miserably, but it was their first really notable act of heroism. Then theres two at the end of ''[[Power Rangers in Space|In Space]]''. The first one involves Alpha 6 and DECA kicking Ecliptor's ass in "The Impenetrable Web". Secondly is, of course, the widely accepted [[Power Rangers/Awesome|Crowning Moment Of Awesome of the entire series]]: the [[I Am Spartacus]] scene at the end of "Countdown To Destruction Part 2", when Astronema demands that the Power Rangers show themselves, or the planet will be destroyed. When they don't appear, Bulk and Skull claim that THEY'RE the Power Rangers and soon, so does the rest of the citizens of Angel Grove. Frustrated, Astronema demands that everyone is [[Never Say "Die"|destroyed]]. Bulk and Skull then proceed to lead the citizens into a fight with the endless [[Mooks]], where they shockingly hold their own fairly well for powerless humans.▼
** For the franchise as a whole, bot heroes and villains have their own version of this. For villains, whenever the Rangers gain the upper hand on the [[Monster of the Week]], this Trope might as well be synonymous with [[Make My Monster Grow| another Trope]], as the Big Bad enlarges it to [[Kaiju]]-size. That's when the heroes use their own version of this Trope and break out the heavy artillery in the form of [[Humongous Mecha| the Megazord]], and the battle begins again on a far greater scale.

** Ninjor, the Rangers ally in Season Three of the first series was usually a [[Deadpan Snarker]] type, but when flames appeared in his visor, you knew he was done with the jokes and about to assume his [[Super Mode]].
* Quark in ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' has personally killed no fewer than three Jem'Hadar soldiers.
* ''[[Ashes to Ashes]]'': ''Chris''. ("I'm not nervous. I'm cautious.")

** It should be pointed out that said dinosaur had just pressed Lester's previously-undiscovered [[Berserk Button]] - it had threatened his Jaguar.
