Line 103:
** Marvel handbooks gives most of cosmic beings like Eternity or Death maximal stats at everything except fighting skills.
* Lampshaded in ''[[Ultimate Spider-Man]]'', when Peter complains that he's been just getting by on luck and his natural strength and speed, so Mary Jane suggests he take martial arts. In the first 100 comics of the series, there's a surprising number of times where he actually gets the crap kicked out of him.
** [[Word of God]] indicates that Peter was in fact ''very'' skilled at using his powers and at fighting, especially towards the latter half of his career. It's [[Informed Flaw|specified]] that his successor Miles Morales is drawn much clumsier in order to contrast the two.
* While [[Irredeemable|The Plutonian]] often shows himself to be very intelligent and more then able to outwit his foes, when finally forced into combat with someone on his level of power he gets his ass kicked as he never needed to learn to fight.
* The Juggernaut in ''[[X-Men]]''
Line 110:
* 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.
* At a party thrown by the Superhomeys in ''[[Empowered]]'', Ninjette redirects Captain Havoc's super-strength punch with martial arts, and throws him to the floor. Offscreen sound effects and dialog indicate she does it several more times, to the amusement of the other heroes.
