* [[PreciousPuppy Princess Latte]] from ''Anime/HealinGoodPrecure'' is an EvilDetectingAnimal capable of detecting the actions of the MonsterOfTheWeek over long distances, even detecting an attack that's happening a THREE-HOUR TRAIN RIDE away. The downside is that said evil-detecting leaves her physically weakened to the point where she can't even walk, which is lasts the entire battle and sometimes even after if the eponymous heroines take too long. She fortunately gets a better hold of her powers as the season goes on.

** One of [[BigBad All For One's]] customers during his height of power was this, being a man who cared for his family, except his Quirk cursed him with a [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily monstrous jaw with giant sharp teeth]] which [[FaceOfAThug scared away everyone around him]], so he was happy to have it stolen away in exchange for loyalty to All For One.

* ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'': Ivan Karelin[=/=]Origami Cyclone's NEXT power allows him to copy the appearance and voice of any person. Unfortunately, this power is not very practical in crime-fighting, especially on a reality game show where points are awarded for apprehending criminals and rescuing civilians. As a result, when he's not using his power to perform undercover work, he usually works as a walking billboard, photobombing to [[CorporateSponsoredSuperhero show off his corporate sponsors' logos on his costume.]]

** Lelouch has the power to [[CompellingVoice issue absolute orders]], but it only works once and those orders can't be taken back. [[spoiler:Once his Geass becomes permanently active near the end of the first season, [[DeusAngstMachina he accidentally triggers a genocide]].]] [[DiabolusExMachina How... unfortunate.]] For the most part, though, his power is portrayed as positive, since he gets a contact to deal with the PowerIncontinence in the following season.

** Suzaku may not have a Geass, but he does get a command from Lelouch to "live", forcing Suzaku to survive by whatever means necessary. For a DeathSeeker like Suzaku, this is bad enough as it is. But it goes FromBadToWorse. Thanks to the "Live" Geass, [[spoiler:he ends up nuking Tokyo and causing thirty-five million deaths when using the nuke was the only thing left to keep Kallen from killing him]]. Then it becomes CursedWithAwesome as he turns the command into a quasi-[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED SEED mode]]. [[spoiler: In the GrandFinale... well, let's say that he was given a FateWorseThanDeath. God, it sucks to be Suzaku!]]

* In ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', Chazz prides himself as a tough guy, which is ''usually'' a good thing. However, in one episode, his two snobbish brothers insist a duel with him, on the condition he only uses Monster Cards with 500 ATK or less. This leaves Chazz unable to comply, literally. With the exception of his Ojama Yellow, every monster he has is just too powerful. To help him build a deck that complies, Professor Banner directs him to a well where several cards deemed weak and useless were thrown away.

** Chazz also finds his power to [[InvisibleToNormals see and hear monster spirits]] to be incredibly annoying, i.e. he has to wear earplugs just to be able to sleep at night while the spirits in his deck stay up partying.

** Kaido is the WorldsStrongestMan, a NighInvulnerable monster with unmatched strength, powerful skills in haki, and one of the strongest Devil Fruits imaginable. Unfortunately for him, he's a DeathSeeker who wants nothing more than to end his existence due to [[VictoryIsBoring having nothing left to challenge him]], but he's so tough he hasn't found a WorthyOpponent in twenty years and every execution he's gone through or suicide attempt he has made in that time has failed for one reason or another.

* ''Anime/CardcaptorSakura'': Yue. Though powerful, strong, and intimidating, being the moon means he's only as good as his Master/Mistress. The balance of his creation also predisposes him to the little inconvenience of imminent death while his brother can go about as he pleases.

* In ''Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess2016'', the Triforce of Courage seems to screw Link over more often than it helps. First, it lets him pull the Gaurof Sword out of its stone [[DoomedHometown and thus completely wipe his hometown off Hyrule's map]]. Then he learns that [[spoiler:Dark Link's manifestation was the result of the Triforce reacting to and materializing what would have otherwise been a mere case of belated but otherwise perfectly ordinary {{Chuunibyou}}]].

** In the main story, it's revealed that [[spoiler:Aoyama was literally "blessed" with a sucky power by [[BigBad All For One]] after he was born [[{{Unsorceror}} Quirkless]] and his parents had to resort to [[DealWithTheDevil seeking his "help"]] to avoid the stigma of being Quirkless, but his body can't handle it well without a support item, but he tries to take it in stride anyway.]]

* ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'': Tanjiro expresses this opinion about becoming a demon. Sure you gain NighInvulnerability to everything but the sun and strength and power beyond what any normal human is capable of, but not only have you sold out your humanity and soul for it, but you're also now beholden to the will of the CompleteMonster that is Kibutsuji Muzan, who sees all other demons as [[WeHaveReserves expendable pawns]] at best and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness useless failures]] at worst. Not that this stops Tanjiro from putting down demons since [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse most demons are monsterous enough to deserve it]].

* ''Manga/MarisTheChojo'': Thanatosians are a race of HumanAliens who are [[SuperStrength six times stronger than any other race]] on average. Unfortunately, [[EarthShatteringKaboom their planet was destroyed]] several years ago, scattering them across a galaxy literally not ''built'' to handle beings of their strength, and forcing the entire race to wear {{Power Limiter}}s to interact with others. The titular character has it even worse: she's unusually strong ''by Thanatosian standards'' and so her PowerLimiter ''barely works'', trapping her in PerpetualPoverty as she struggles to keep up with paying off all of her debts for all the things she breaks.

** SMILE users get a random animal part growing out of a random part of their own body (if they're one of the lucky 10%). Unfortunately for most, what they get is situationally useful at best. Some like Holdem get the animal's head, which gives their animal parts their own personality. Holdem in particular has half a lion that attacks him frequently. And much like natural Devil Fruit users, they can't swim.

*** [[MessianicArchetype Scolippi]] has the Stand Rolling Stones, a rock that rolls after people who are fated to die soon. If the person avoids Rolling Stones for long enough, they will be fated to die a horrible death. The only particularly useful thing about it is that by touching it, the person will instantly die in a painless manner.
