* Aran Ryan was this in ''[[Punch Out|Super Punch-Out!!]]'', a series known for wild characters, but thankfully, Next-Level Games gave him a [[Hot -Blooded]] [[Scotireland]]/border-line [[Ax Crazy]] personality in the Wii version of the game. Now, he's probably the most memorable character in the entire cast!
** Also, based on seeing his name in the game's code, Kid Quick from the original arcade ''[[Punch Out]]'' was supposed to make a comeback in the Wii version, and its assumed he was "cut" because his only trait in his original appearance was his speed. However, it seems Next-Level Games tried so hard to give Kid character, he became an entirely new character: [[Disco Dan|Disco Kid]].
* [[Played for Drama]] in ''[[Rainbow Six]]''. [[The Dragon]], [[Renegade Russian]] Dmitriy Popov's features are so unremarkable that no one really knows how to look out for him until {{spoiler|learning the extent of the [[Big Bad]]'s plan prompts an [[Even Evil Has Standards]] reaction and something of a [[Heel Face Turn]], causing him to voluntarily approach John Clark.}}
* Russel Bagman is the most normal guy in ''[[Super Robot Wars]]''. Literally. As a result of this, he stands out even more. Ironically subverted by [[Fanon]] though, considering he gives his [[Hot -Blooded]] commander a [[Bright Slap]] once, leading many to apply [[Memetic Mutation]] and refer to him as the [[Original Generation]] Bright Noah.
** Which merely continues the [[Irony]] as, [[Memetic Badass]] and [[Memetic Mutation]] aside, Bright is fairly normal himself.
* The protagonist of MDickie's ''[[The You Testament]]'' is just some generic schmuck (so that you can use a photo of your own face to make him you) who fulfils the role of every incidental person in [[The Bible]] who encounters Jesus without becoming a dedicated disciple. This occasionally necessitates that a story be mangled out of shape so that "some generic schmuck" can learn the lesson instead of "the very specific person who Jesus actually talked to in the Bible whose very identity was instrumental in giving the lesson meaning".
