* [[Does Not Know His Own Strength]]: Revealed to have happened at least a couple times to Willow as a child -- most notably an incident where she injured her father by greeting him too enthusiastically -- but carefully hidden from her by her parents. |

* [[Totally Radical]]: Alex's father, possibly deliberately invoking this trope, comments on Alex's (successful) attempt to influence developing slang by asking her about her efforts to "pimp rad lingo". Alex complains he's out of date. |

* [[Training from Hell]]: Alex puts herself through this, slowly ramping up the difficulty as her physical and psychic limits grow. For example, by the middle of the story she's doing 100 upside-down sit-ups every morning by holding herself to a wall with her TK. Plus martial arts training from another super. And her academic schedule could be seen as just another form of this. |
