* ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' runs on an engine powered by Photon Atomic engine. When it runs out of Photon energy, it ceases functioning and it has to be replenished to work again. Its sucessors ''[[Great Mazinger]]'' and ''[[Mazinkaiser]]'' also works with a Photon engine. Another of its sucessors, ''[[UFO Robo Grendizer]]'' works with the same principle but different energy source.

* In ''[[Superman Returns]]'', Superman was weakened with a Kryptonite shard in his side, so he [[Fight Off the Kryptonite|Fought Off the Kryptonite]] by rising into the sunlight.

* In the live action ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'' film, He-Man had his sword taken from him and used to unlock the secret powers of Grayskull. He was left as a strong but weaponless warrior. Retaking his sword from the lock seemed to renew his strength and even frighten the empowered Skeletor.

** A villain has a disintegration weapon that's capable of hurting Superman but they aren't positive they can kill him while using it. To ensure Superman is weakened, they make a catastrophe in an underground missile silo so that while using his powers he doesn't have a backup charge. Superman wins when Lois shorts out the silo door controls, opening them so he could recharge.

** Lex Luthor is shown using the same weapon against Superman, but simply attacks at night, using Supes' parents as hostages so he won't escape to a part of the word where it's day.
