== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* Takamichi T. Takahata of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' was born unable to cast spells, but, as a member of [[Badass Crew|Ala Rubra]], is still one of the most powerful fighters of the magic world, in part because he can use the powerful [[Yin-Yang Bomb|kanka technique]].

* Shinji Matou from ''[[Fate ~~Stay Night (Visual Novel)~~|Fate Stay Night]]''. Shinji doesn't have even magic cicuits. And he became a [[Complete Monster]] because his envy {{spoiler|to his adopted sister, Sakura, abusing and raping her, just because she is a magus.}}

* Yuzu from ''[[~~Bleach (Manga)|~~Bleach]]'': while her other siblings can fight hollows <ref>Karin against weak hollow nonetheless</ref> and her father {{spoiler|who was a shinigami}}, she can only see the outline of the ghosts.

* Sairaorg Baal in ''[[High School ~~DXD~~]]'' did not inherit any of his parents powers when he was born. So instead, he underwent [[Training From Hell]], something high-class devils do not do, and became so strong he doesn't even need the power of destruction.

* ''[[~~PS 238~~]]'''s Tyler Marlocke, son of Ultima and Sovereign Powers who are two of the most powerful meta-humans on Earth. He's currently a [[Badass Normal]] in training due to being the closest thing the series has to a main character, and is perfectly happy with not having superpowers.

** "Perfectly happy" in that he's okay with not having them, except that he knows that puts him in a lot more danger, and since his parents are ''convinced'' that he's about to develop powers any day now, he's a little bit afraid- or he was- of a rejection of sorts, if/when they ever realize he's unlikely to.

* [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]: Mutant supervillains Mystique and Victor Creed/Sabertooth had a child together, Graydon Creed, who turned out to be a normal human (for those two, must be karma), which is rare for two mutants. He went on to become an anti-mutant extremist out of jealousy and [[Why Couldn't You Be Different?|his parents' rejection]].

== [[Live Action Television]] ==

* {{spoiler|Nathan Petrelli}} from ''[[Heroes (TV)|Heroes]]'' is the only member of his immediate family who was born without powers. His parents injected him with [[Super Serum]] to make up for this "deficiency".

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==

* In ''[[Werewolf: The ~~Apocalypse (Tabletop Game)|Werewolf: the~~ Apocalypse]]'', Kinfolk are humans or wolves with werewolf blood, immunity to the [[Weirdness Censor|Delirium]], at least loose connections to werewolf society, and nothing else. No shapeshifting and only low-level [[Functional Magic|Gifts]] for you, sorry! Also, you're a huge disappointment to your werewolf relatives useful only as breeding stock and the driver of the getaway car.

** The [[~~New World of Darkness (Tabletop Game)|~~New World of Darkness]]'s ''[[~~Werewolf: The Forsaken (Tabletop Game)|~~Werewolf: The Forsaken]]'' has the functionally wolf-blooded who get at least a ''little'' more respect than their spiritual ancestors. One of the splatbooks gave them their own share of abilities.

** ''[[~~Mage: The Awakening (Tabletop Game)|~~Mage: The Awakening]]'' has Proximi, who are dynastic hereditary Sleepwalkers: [[Muggles|Sleepers]] who do not have the supernal power of mages, but can witness it without the threat of [[Weirdness Censor|Paradox]]. A Proximus, unlike a normal Sleepwalker, is born into an established family of mages and other Proximi, and ''can'' use limited supernal magic. Mages also believe Proximi are more likely to Awaken than other Sleepers.

== [[Video Games]] ==

* {{spoiler|Florian Greenheart}} in ''[[Overlord II]]'' {{spoiler|was the only Elf who couldn't use magic.}} The disaster that sparked [[Fantastic Racism]] against all magical beings was triggered by his first attempt to fix this, {{spoiler|and the magic hating Glorious Empire he founded is his second attempt.}}

* Carver Hawke from ''[[~~Dragon Age II (Video Game)|~~Dragon Age II]]'', one of the PC's two siblings who become mutually exclusive early on. A key part of Carver's story-arc is his inferiority complex stemming from the fact that both his elder sibling and his twin sister were born with magic, causing the family to move frequently to avoid the Templars and have their father spend more time with them to teach them to control their powers. Depending on your choices, he may even end up joining [[Knight Templar|the Templar Order]] out of a mix of resentment and a desire to be "more than just your brother."

* In ''[[Star ~~Warsthe~~ Old Republic]]'', Jedi Grandmaster Satele Shan's son Theron is not Force-sensitive. Virtually all Sith Purebloods are Force-sensitive because those who are not are traditionally slain as infants.

* The main character in [[Black Sigil]] seems to fall under this initially.

Line 68:

* On ''[[Sabrina the Animated Series]],'' Tim the Witch-Smeller was one of these -- worse, he was apparently unique, so he grew up [[Freudian Excuse|mocked and tormented by his empowered peers]]. The result -- a psychopathic hunter with a [[Fantastic Racism|grudge against witches]].

* In ''[[American Dragon Jake Long]]'', the dragon powers "skipped" Jake's mother's generation. Her father, son, and daughter can all transform into dragons, but she can't.

* From ''[[~~The Legend of Korra (Animation)|~~The Legend of Korra]]'', Aang and Katara has one non-bending offspring, Bumi.
