* ''[[Captain Planet]]'' is sort of like this. The Planeteers are the real main characters, with Captain Planet himself usually only getting about two minutes of screen time per episode. He ''is,'' however, the [[Deus Ex Machina]] that solves all the major problems, while the heroes are mostly there to just [[All Your Powers Combined|summon him]] and learn the [[Aesop]] ([[Green Aesop|green]] or otherwise) ''du jour,'' after getting into a lot of danger and adventurous situations, of course. |

* Rufus and Amberley of ''[[The Dreamstone]]'' are usually ineffective against even [[Harmless Villain|the Urpneys]], though usually come out fine anyway due to the assistance of the Wuts, [[Nice Job Fixing It Villain|the Urpneys screwing up the plan]] or [[The Fool|just pure dumb luck]]. In earlier episodes they are slightly more competent. |
