{{examples}}
== Anime
* During her early life in a highly enhanced prosthetic body, the Major of ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]'' had some major (no pun intended) difficulties controlling the prosthetics' strength. She mentions (and it is shown in the opening credits) that she once smashed a doll by being unable to control her own limbs.
* Muay Thay God of Death Apachai Hopachai in ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]''. Also a [[Gentle Giant]] on his own right, he is really kind to all living things, being even able to speak with animals. Unfortunately, due to the [[Training from Hell]] he went through during his childhood (and the fact that he was thrown in life-or-death battles even as a kid) he's uncapable of sparring with Kenichi without delivering several blows that would have killed anyone less resilient. It gets to a point when Kenichi loses the memory of being hit due to a concussion.
Line 45:
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Roy'''}}: Without my vision I can't limit the blast properly!
{{spoiler|'''Hawkeye'''}}: Don't limit it at all! }}
* ''[[Durarara!!]]''{{'}}s Shizuo Heiwajima is prone to this, ''especially'' when angry. At one point the Yakuza even deduce Shizuo's recent presence in an apartment complex simply by the state of the stairway's guardrails -- which is not very difficult, as Shizuo managed to ''utterly destroy'' them on his way out.
*
* The few countries in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' with [[Super Strength]] are very prone to this. [[Adult Child|America]] in particular. Usually at either Japan or England's expense.
* In ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'', it's implied that [[The Hero|Kotetsu]] had this problem back when was a child ("I'm not supposed to touch anyone when I'm like this. I'll hurt people."), which was why he was ashamed of his NEXT abilities up until he encountered Mr. Legend.
** After the seventeenth episode, {{spoiler|Kaede}} develops the ability to [[Ditto Fighter|copy the powers of the last NEXT she's touched]]. The last NEXT she's touched? Kotetsu. She destroys the kitchen simply trying to drink tea.
Line 53:

* The comics version of [[Superman]] is the primary aversion of this, where his strength is almost always played as a positive and the negatives are rarely highlighted.
** One story from the '90s saw Supe's strength start increasing exponentially. This trope definitely came into play then.
