** Usopp, though in later chapters he's begun to grow a backbone.
** Nami at times, though in her case it's more a case of pragmatism, seeing as she's a [[Badass Normal]] is a world where many pirates have superhuman powers.
* Grasshop from ''[[Spider Riders]]'' becomes one after his transition from a [[Dirty Coward]].
* Misora of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' Her artifact is a pair of [[Sprint Shoes|running shoes]] [[Super Speed|that lets her flee with great haste]] when danger appears. However, when push comes to shove, she can do some daring rescues, which could blindside villains since she's the last person you'd expect to do daring rescues.
Line 64 ⟶ 66:
* The Cowardly Lion in ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'', naturally, overlapping with [[Cowardly Lion| the Trope named after him.]] The Scarecrow and Tin Man too, in a few scenes.
* Averted with the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe|film version]] of Volstagg the Voluminous (see ''Comic Books'', above) -- while we don't see much of him in combat, when we do we see he's kicking ass as much as Fandral and Hogun.
* Hoggle from ''[[Labyrinth]]''; eventually becomes a [[Cowardly Lion]].

Line 94 ⟶ 97:
* Captain Blackadder in ''[[Blackadder Goes Forth]]'' tries everything to get out of the [[World War I|war]]. But since the war is portrayed as a completely pointless waste of human life, the audience roots for him.
* Patrick Jane of ''[[The Mentalist]]'' sometimes acts as this. His cowardly moments make him more endearing because it reveals that under his [[The Chessmaster|cool facade]] he still experiences the same fears as everyone else.
* Telly Monster from ''[[Sesame Street]]'', also an insecure worry-wart.
