Unskilled but Strong: Difference between revisions

** Katou also applies. Despite his lack of real training, he wins through brute strength, [[Combat Pragmatist|fighting dirty]] and drug-taking that makes him [[Feel No Pain]]. {{spoiler|He gets utterly destroyed later on when a MMA exponent decides to get serious.}}

* Noted by Touma during his first fight with Accelerator in ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]''. Accelerator's powers are among the most powerful in the series, but is at a bit of a loss when he can't just [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomp]] Touma like he has all his previous opponents.

** Touma himself is tough as nails and an experienced street fighter, but he gets his ass handed to him when he faces trained martial artists like Kaori and Motoharu.

** Another major villain, {{spoiler|Fiamma of the Right}} is obscenely powerful but, like Accelerator, is at a loss when he can't simply win with a [[Curb Stomp Battle]]. One of his comrades, however, {{spoiler|Acqua of the Back}}, is very much strong ''and'' skilled.

* Captain Hammer of ''[[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog]]'' seems to get everywhere on his super strength (born with the ability to "bench press 500 pounds") and damage resistance (which is a lot in a world where the super villains we know of are 1: a [[Mad Scientist]] 2: a guy who can make things moist 3: {{spoiler|a horse}}) and his plans are limited to "smash the device". The first time he gets hurt he runs away crying like a little girl.

* Gustave and Alfred from ''[[Darwin's Soldiers]]'' are both [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]] (Nile crocodile and American bison, respectively) with [[Super Strength]]. Neither of them is a trained martial artist so their fighting style consists of "beat the opponent with anything handy until they stop moving".

* Chair from [[Nerdy Show]]'s Dungeons & Doritos. Justified in that he was a chair [[A Wizard Did It|turned]] into a dwarf a few weeks ago. That and his player tends to [[Critical Hit|roll high]].

** 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.

* The ''[[Superfriends]]'' episode "The Evil From Krypton" featured a General Zod [[Captain Ersatz]] called Zy-Kree. He had all of Superman's powers, but no skill. [[Aquaman]] is able to hold his own and outmaneuver him with tactics. When he and Superman clash, Superman demonstrates that he actually knows how to fight, and pwns him before sending him back to the [[Phantom Zone]].

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

* Savage Opress, an alchemically altered warrior introduced in the third season of ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]'', manages to hold his own against the highly skilled Asajj Ventress and master duelist Dooku through raw power alone.

** Subverted with Aang, Zuko, Azula and Iroh, each of whom has recieved or given themselves [[Boxing Lessons for Superman|additional training]], and can at least hold their own without using their bending.

* Korra from ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' is described in these terms:

'''Other Master:''' She lacks restraint. }}

* In ''[[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes|Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes]]'', Steve Rogers criticizes Tony Stark for this, saying Tony's primary solutions to battle include either tackling things or blasting them.
