Line 279:
* The moment when Flash surpasses any speed ever achieved by a human being in order to whup Brainiac-Luthor's ass in the ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' episode "Divided We Fall". The episode practically gave the character an immediate boost from the goofy, comic relief of the League to an absolute badass in ''a few seconds''.
** At various times it is made very clear that [[The Flash]], much like Superman, can cause ''a lot'' of collateral damage if he isn't careful. As for the above example, it's implied that he was approaching the speed of light and you can see cars flipping and distant windows shattering just from how fast he is moving. He outright doesn't use his ability to phase through solid material, because it can cause explosions or instant destruction.
** Also in ''[[Justice League]]'', Superman lets himself get beaten up a lot because of this; he will never start a fight using all of his powers; indeed, he's beaten many times, but either because somebody broke out the [[Kryptonite Factor|kryptonite]] or because he's holding back early on and for some reason can't go back to being right handed. Case in point: when he unknowingly fought Wonder Woman, he had to stop fighting period once he realized it was her, and got badly beaten up because of that.
*** In the episode where Green Lantern decides the team isn't working together enough, Superman explains he takes hits on purpose because that's one less hit the others have to take.
*** All this talking about holding back comes to proof when Superman fights Darkseid in the series finale. After getting beat down, Superman turns the tables and lets loose on Darkseid, knowing that he won't be killed right off, and easily kicks Darkseid's ass, sending him flying through several buildings to the other side of the city and then bashing him back down to the ground.
**** This is because his is a [[World of Cardboard Speech|World of Cardboard]].
* General Grievous at the end of ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]''. You thought he was tough with two arms? Well, now he has four.
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'': Marge Simpson, of all people, invokes this trope literally in the recent{{when}} Vancouver Olympics episode. Her arm is sprained in the second-last match, and is about to give up. {{spoiler|Then, Homer notices her skill with her other arm, which Marge remembers is actually her dominant one}}.
