▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime and Manga]] ==
* A heroic version occurs in the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' animé when Ash is facing Drake, the Orange Islands champion. Through most of their match, Ash has knocked out five of Drake's pokemon, while Drake has taken out only two of his. Drake sends out his trump card, a very powerful Dragonite, but Ash eventually manages to beat it by rotating his remaining pokemon and forcing Dragonite to take them down one by one. Dragonite defeats Charizard, Squirtle and Tauros one after another, but they all do enough damage that the Dragonite is exhausted by the time Pikachu is sent out.
Line 39:
* Typhoid Mary recruits a number of [[Daredevil]]'s enemies to put the horn-headed hero through this trope. It's also a variant in that the villains ''win'', beating Daredevil to within an inch of his life and leaving him for dead.
== [[
* In the ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'' fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2973937/1/Discovery Discovery]'', Timmy Turner
* Issue #50 of ''[[Ultimate Sleepwalker|Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams]]'' forces Sleepwalker to take on all six of the Nasty Boys by himself. A few issues later, he goes through this trope ''again'' when {{spoiler|the Green Goblin puts a $1 million prize on his head.}} He's forced to fight several villains trying to claim the prize one after another, and they each do a number on him. By the time he fights the last villain, Sleepwalker is so exhausted that {{spoiler|he would have been killed without the help of a [[Heroic Bystander]]}}.
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==▼
* Among the many types of gimmick matches devised in recent years, there's the "Gauntlet" match, where one wrestler has to fight three or more opponents one after another, without a break. When one opponent is pinned, the next one comes out, and the match ends either when the lone wrestler is pinned or he defeats all his opponents. One notable example was when [[Chris Benoit]] took on and defeated on his fellow Radicalz ([[Dean Malenko]], [[Perry Saturn]], and [[Eddie Guerrero]]).▼

== Literature ==
* The final book of the ''Spy High'' series, ''Agent Orange'', has this. The heroes fight through virtual recreations of every major villain (and some minor ones) from the previous 11 books in order to finally reach the [[Big Bad]]'s lair.
