History AdaptationalWimp / WesternAnimation

** Like in most adaptations, the titular character gets hit with this. Here, he takes visible damage and gets nearly overwhelmed by a giant robot that his comic counterpart would have no problem taking down. He's also visibly exhausted after defeating the robot and the rest of the robots coming at him all at once are portrayed as potentially being capable of killing him. That said, along with the fact that he's [[AgeLift younger]] and a less experienced fighter in this series, it's heavily implied that Clark is [[WillfullyWeak subconsciously holding back his full power]]; once he sees that one of the robots might kill Lois, he gets a sudden boost in power, heals from his injuries, and sends the robot flying with a single MegatonPunch.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BlackPanther2010'' cartoon, every non-Wakandan character is either evil, stupid, or both. The Comicbook/XMen (aside from Comicbook/{{Storm}}) take it pretty bad but by far the worst victim is the Juggernaut, who is depicted as being quite [[TookALevelInDumbass a good deal dumber than usual]], at one point being described by the other characters as basically brainless. In the original comic story his role belonged to the Rhino, who generally ''is'' considered to be that dumb.

** The Hobgoblin is still a genuine threat, but lacks the SuperSerum he uses in the comics and is thus simply a BadassNormal. He manages to be a major thorn in Spidey's side, but ends up thoroughly outclassed when the [[Comicbook/NormanOsborn Green Goblin]] finally makes his debut, PsychoSerum and all.

* ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'' is a high school parody first, super hero parody second, and the scale of the episodes tend to be much lower than the comic books they're based on as a consequence. A few characters deserve their own entries, however.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'':

** Wonder Woman has fewer wonderful powers and has far greater limits to them compared to the overwhelming majority of the character's publication history. Her SuperStrength in the comics was stated the be equal to Hercules from her first appearance, ''increased'' to stronger than the legendary figure, and has since been described as equal to Demeter, Gaea etc. The show has plenty of jokes about Diana's absurd feats but Supergirl is by far the stronger between them and Wonder Woman's unarmed strikes cannot even hurt Giganta. Wonder Woman has matched and subdued these two several times in the comics. In her first comic Wonder Woman's speed was said to be equal to the messenger god Hermes, increased to faster than such and she pulled off faster than light reactions while learning to fight Badra in ''Comic Cavalcade #25''. Here Diana is still fast, in particular being able to [[LetsYouAndHimFight block attacks from The Flash in the dark]], but her running speed is directly compared to a motor vehicle, putting her in the slower half of the team when it comes to traveling. Her language skills and animal empathy are also significantly downplayed, the former for the sake of jokes as she fails to navigate modern cities, the latter so she can struggle to control a completely loyal but highly destructive [[UnusualPetsForUnusualPeople griffon]]. She seems to lack [[ImmuneToFire The Sisterhood With Fire]], definitely lacks the [[ImmuneToMindControl psychic defenses]] of her Golden Age and Post Crisis self, lacks the air gliding and VacuumMouth of her Silver Age counterpart, and the flight displayed in Post Crisis, New 52 and DC Rebirth is definitely gone. This Wonder Woman also has no invisible robot plane or jet. On the other hand this show's Wonder Woman seems to have a {{nerf}}ed version of Artemsis's SummonToHand trick, something comic book Diana never had any form of, and her short comings are mostly {{justified|trope}} by this Wonder Woman having a [[ProportionalAging teenager's body]] that will become more powerful as she continues to develop.

Its also revealed the amazons on this show can increase their energy levels with a [[FantasticFruitsAndVegetables special fruit]], that also lets Wonder Woman keep pace with her teammates while running, but her stash is tossed out once Kara Danvers concludes [[FantasticDrug they're not worth the affect]] they have on [[DrugsAreBad Diana's mental state]].
** Zatanna openly admits to being unable to perform spells her comic book counterpart would be doing without issue, and severely struggles with her own BlackMagic, even more so with black magic used by her opponents. This one is {{justified|trope}} by this version of Zee Zatara still being a student who hasn't even begun to reach her full potential, and likes to put off her studies.
** Giganta can't grow nearly as large as her then most recent comic book counterpart from ComicBook/DCRebirth, nor her Post Crisis self, for that matter, and is subsequently nowhere near as strong or tough as them either. However, Giganta is downgraded far less than Wonder Woman is, to the point she's now Wonder Woman's equal in running speed and overall strength and superior in striking [[UnskilledButStrong despite having a sloppy, telegraphed punch]]. In fact Giganta now far surpasses Wonder Woman ''and'' Supergirl in [[SuperToughness overall toughness]] to the point of beating both, [[RunTheGauntlet one after the other]], by [[VictoryByEndurance sheer endurance]] in her first appearance!

** {{Subverted|Trope}} with Giovanna Zatara, who is not a super hero on this show despite being one of DC's first alongside Superman and predating Batman. It turns out the circumstances of Zatara's life, being an inept ''stage'' magician who was trying to go without using any magic due to having his daughter and breaking up with his wife much earlier in his life, as well as finding a lucrative, permanent gig at a fixed location, prevented him from becoming the globe traveling crime solver of the comic books, but he is nonetheless just as powerful, relative to the other characters in the show, when he does start casting spells. He's stumped on the subject of black magic, having none of it himself, unlike Zee and his unnamed ex wife, but is otherwise far more competent than Zee is and the one most responsible for her current phase of training.

** Poison Ivy is neither poisonous nor capable of directly envenomating her victims here, getting her name from a poisonous plant her father created. This poison Ivy also lacks her comic book counterpart's ability to charm people with pheramones, and has a sickly teengaged body when not using the full extent of her powers. [[ZigZaggedTrope However]], this Poison Ivy's powers extend beyond plants, being able to animate even dead fungi, as long as it's green, and affect protists, including protozoa, as long as it's green, at one point enlarging and toughening singled celled pond scum enough to threaten Supergirl and Green Lantern at once.

** In the comic books The Royal Flush Gang defeated The Justice League in their first appearance and The League had to research the gang's then unique form or magic before they could begin to fight back against The Gang. In this show The Royal Flush Gang are a mere GangOfHats who flee from mere police officers and aren't even on The Super Hero Girls' radar until Diana's aunt Antiope gets the group in trouble for gambling with the Gang.
** Comic book Shaggy Man is able to defeat The Entire Justice League in his first appearance, and while there are plenty of comic books that feature him losing to individual super heroes, these are invariably used to show how much more powerful and or skilled that particular superhero has become. This show's Shaggy Man mainly exists to be featured in gags that end with him effortlessly beaten by Supergirl.

** Giganta can't grow nearly as large as her then most recent comic book counterpart from ComicBook/DCRebirth, nor her Post Crisis self, for that matter, and is subsequently nowhere near as strong or tough as them either. However, Giganta is downgraded far less than Wonder Woman is, to the point she's now Wonder Woman's equal in running speed and overall strength and superior in striking [[UnskillledButStrong despite having a sloppy, telegraphed punch]].

** Giganta can't grow nearly as large as her then most recent comic book counterpart from ComicBook/DCRebirth, nor her Post Crisis self, for that matter, and is subsequently nowhere near as strong or tough as them either. However, Giganta fairs far better than Wonder Woman does, as she's now Wonder Woman's equal in strength and far surpasses her ''and'' Supergirl in [[SuperToughness overall toughness]] to the point of beating both, one after the other, by [[VictoryByEndurance sheer endurance]] in her first appearance!

** This show uses Dick Grayson as its Robin. While Robin still has his gadgets and some of his combat skills, he displays none of the trademark Grayson agility or acrobatics, and no awareness of his surroundings whatsoever, making him incredibly easy for Harley Quinn to kill if not for Batgirl saving him. He also displays none of Dick Grayson's bravery, folding to Harley when threatened directly.

** Even without his super powers, even out of his element on dry land, comic book Aqualad is a tall, muscled athlete who can easily overpower and outmanuever the average man. While Garth's powers are impressive as ever in the water, on the land Garth is a TinySchoolBoy who is regularly stuffed in lockers and is utterly helpless againt Toyman. {{Justified|Trope}}, as Garth has not hit his growth spurt yet.

* While ''some'' comic books portray Riddler as being even worse than The Joker, as long as we're being honest we might as well admit he usually ranges from middling threat to HarmlessVillain in that he is mostly interested in showing off how clever he is and views his schemes as nothing more than games where no one is supposed to get hurt. Riddler's two {{sidekick}}s\{{bodyguard babes}} tend to be more bloodthirsty than he is, but even at his most sympathetic and least malicious comic book Riddler is still a man from a broken home who can survive on the streets of [[WretchedHive Gotham City]]. ''this'' show's Riddler lacks any combat ability whatsoever and has a glass jaw too boot.

*** Doomsday doesn't kill Superman in either of his appearances. The Justice Lords defeat him in his debut in "A Better World" with Lord!Superman lobotomizing him and he still loses to the normal Superman in "The Doomsday Sanction". The fact that his origin was changed from being an ancient Kryptonian to Superman's clone helped.

* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': In [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 the original show]], [[LetsGetDangerous Launchpad McQuack]] is one of the most dangerous members of the cast besides Scrooge himself. During the first season alone, he saves the triplets from hostile aliens, pulls off a [[BeyondTheImpossible supposedly impossible]] manuever to rescue Scrooge during an aerial battle with the Beagle Boys, and successfully substitutes for a spy. The reboot version gets sidelined or becomes useless in a fight quite a bit more frequently, especially because he's also much ditzier.

* Anti-Monitor in ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries''. Oh, make no mistake, he still drained a universe and destroyed superweapons left and right. However, his comic book self could tank having War World dropped on him, fighting ComicBook/TheSpectre, and take an entire CrisisCrossover to defeat on multiple occasions. And during the show's run, before his more powerful brother Alpheus and mother Perpetua were introduced in the comics later on, he was considered to be ''the'' strongest villain in DC. Here? It's not even the combined Red and Green Lantern armada that beats him. It's Aya... the weakest member of the team... by herself, though for the sake of fairness, the series changed Anti-Monitor from a creature made of anti-matter into a GiantMecha, and Aya is the galaxy's most advanced A.I.

*** Franchise/TheFlash, in the first season, pretty much serves as a distraction for the villain of the week until he inevitably trips over something and lands flat on his face. Fast-forward to the end of the forth season, when he takes down Luthor/Brainiac single-handed!

** This also applies on some [[JustForPun level]] with VideoGame/{{Mega Man|Classic}} and VideoGame/{{Kid|Icarus}} [[IAmNotShazam Icarus]]. Mega Man does have plenty of strength, but it's still quite a step down from having an arm that turns into a gun and the powers of the Robot Masters he defeats. Kid Icarus' has the marksmanship of Pit's trademark arrows [[ATeamFiring reduced to comical proportions]], and on occasions where they do hit something, they do things like giving wolves balloons instead of winning fights.

*** In the comics, Silver Banshee has mystical powers that grant her a [[SuperScream sonic scream]], super strength, and flight. Here, [[AdaptationalSuperpowerChange she only has the sonic scream]], and said scream comes from an advanced tech mask rather than being a natural ability of hers.

** Like in most adaptations, the titular character gets hit with this.

He's also visibly exhausted after defeating the robot and the rest of the robots coming at him all at once are portrayed as potentially being capable of killing him.

*** In the comics, Mist is a criminal mastermind whose exposure to a chemical grants him the ability to [[SuperSmoke transform into vapor]], giving him {{Invisibility}} and {{Intangibility}}. Here, he's just a small scale criminal who [[AdaptationalSuperpowerChange only has the invisibility]], which is instead given to him via advanced tech.

** Hector is the most notable example. In his [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaCurseOfDarkness debut game]], Hector was former minion of Dracula skilled [[MultiMeleeMaster various weapons]] and SummonMagic. His story saw him going on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge after his wife is killed and successfully defeating his fellow Forgemaster Isaac, [[TheGrimReaper Death]] and even Dracula himself. In the Netflix show, Hector while still a Forgemaster, is pretty much a NonActionGuy who is easily bullied and manipulated by Carmilla [[CanonForeigner Lenore]] and is beaten with laughable ease any time he tries to fight back. Ironically, Isaac's combat prowess and abilities largely stayed the same from the game ([[AdaptationalBadass if not more impressive]]) in juxtaposition to Hector, despite Isaac's [[RaceLift character getting a major overhaul]]. Averted in Season 4 [[spoiler:which has Hector break free of his imprisonment and help take down Carmilla, though he still shows none of the combat skill he possesses in the game.]]
