* ''[[Dragonball Z]]''.
** Goku is the straight version of this trope
** Mr. Satan/Hercule only lets people ''think'' he's the world's strongest man, whereas the Z Fighters leave him in the dust. Admittedly, he's pretty tough for a human, punching through a bus, but he's nowhere near the world's strongest man in the ''DBZ'' universe, and [[Word of God]] says that he's weaker than [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Sapp:Bob Sapp|Bob Sapp]].
** In a weird twist, Krillin ends up being the strongest normal human in the group. He has occasionally pointed out friends of his, including the goofy Yamcha and even [[Education Mama]] Chichi, are still ''ridiculously'' strong compared to the average nondescript civilian. That is, if we're not counting Uub (biologically 100% human, but the magical reincarnation of an incredibly powerful alien) and Tien who is, according to the [[Word of God]], an [[Human Aliens|Alien]].
** At certain points in the story, both Tien and Master Roshi were the strongest men in the world before they were both surpassed by Goku.
