Line 72:
* ''[[Birds of Prey]]'': We are explicitly told that no two metahumans ever have the same power. Despite the fact that Huntress inherits the same ones her mother had.
* ''[[Team Knight Rider]]'': We're eventually told that the team was ''intentionally'' composed of complementary abilities, as an earlier attempt to just make one car with all the relevant abilities had ended badly.
* Possibly more reasonable when dealing with skills rather than powers, though it seems like over time, everyone on the team should get at least a ''little'' familiar with their teammates' skills. Visible in ''[[The A-Team]]'', ''[[Mission: Impossible]]'', etc.
* In ''[[Charmed]]'', towards the end, several characters possessed the powers of telekinesis and teleportation.
* During the first season of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', several characters in other media adaptations had powers the same or similar to primary characters, although no two characters were shown to have the same power yet in the television series. Except for Peter Petrelli, whose power is that he can manifest other's powers that he comes into contact with (which is virtually the entire cast), and Sylar, who has to <s>remove</s> examine their brains to do it. In the second season, however, West has the same power as Nathan (flight) and {{spoiler|Kensei/ Adam Monroe has the same power as Claire ([[Healing Factor]]).}}
