{{quote|''This is the dreaded Damien? He moves like an amateur! Wait... [[Playing with Fire|that fire]] could easily win him most fights, [[Healing Factor|he can regenerate]], and he's supposed to have [[Super Strength]]... he's never ''needed'' skill before! [[Superpower Lottery|His fighting style is totally dependent on his powers!]]''|'''Elliot, on [[Big Bad|Damien]]''', ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''}}

* ''[[The Mighty]]'' has Alpha One who wasn't used to fighting others with his power level and just used his power.

* Psylocke in ''[[X-Men]]'' after she becomes telekinetic; she can level mountains, but literally lacks the finesse to pick up a dime. Later, Hellion of the New X-men is shown to be similarly strong but unskilled in the use of his telekinesis.

 

 

* [[Superboy]] in ''[[Young Justice (animation)|Young Justice]]'', who has all of Superman's strength and speed but lacks the discipline to use them to their full extent.

** It turns out that Megan's psychic powers are the same way, after {{spoiler|she accidentally causes a psychic simulation to go awry, ultimately putting the rest of the team into a coma}}. [[Martian Manhunter|J'onn]] speculates that she could be one of the most powerful Martian psychics ever.

'''Green Lantern''': Zy-Kree had forgotten one thing: his power equaled yours, but your skill was superior. }}
