* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'', the [[AlphaBitch Krust cousins]] take every opportunity to torment and belittle XJ-9 socially, attempting to guarantee that Jenny never, ever becomes anything close to popular. XJ-9, a.k.a. Jenny, is a cheerful, sweet-natured girl who also happens to be a walking, talking, sapient weapons system capable of destroying entire alien battle fleets single-handed. In one episode, with the aid of a more aggressive friend, Jenny finally shows them exactly what she can do to make their lives miserable. Even after she drives them into a breakdown, they don't learn from the experience.

* Humans literally do this to dragons in ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'', humans were looking for excuses to slaughter dragons, elves, unicorns and other wildlife because they believe is the only way they will survive the harsh conditions that Xadia put them through, although is humans' own fault because they betrayed the unicorns that helped them thrive and exploited many species for dark magic.

** Viren wanted to kill Avizandum because he killed Sarai, although Avizandum did it to defend his people from humans and is Viren's fault for putting himself in danger so she died saving him, and Avizandum was willing to spare Harrow and Viren but they killed him anyways
** Viren also wanted to kill Zym because of assuming he is a weapon of mass destruction that will only feel hatred for humans, despite he literally didn't do anything at all for being an egg at the time Viren wanted to kill him, but also because of his greed for power
** Viren also wanted to kill Zubeia just for greed and spite

** The drakewood elves enslave dragons to use them as mounts and they had an imprisoned dragon to eat their enemies, they also tried to tame Zym, apparently not knowing he is the Xadian prince, they are lucky Zubeia wasn't there when doing that or else she'd eat them

** Right after Lucas has seen a [[DumbMuscle Fixed Idea]], a near nine-foot-tall Frankenstein's monster-like man, tear through his wall, he figures he can take it in a fight. Being a boxer and strong by human standards he gets a couple of decent hits in, but Fixed Ideas are StrongButUnskilled and he's just not strong enough to even stagger them. All in all, it's probably his ''least'' finest moment in the entire series as the only reason he doesn't get the complete man-shit kicked out of him is because Cyber Six saves him.

** Another example is the first episode featuring TheJuggernaut. Mystique frees him from his imprisonment, intending for him to kill Xavier while she steals Cerebro. Juggernaut immediately brushes off her offer of a ride to Xavier's in favor of just stomping towards the mansion. After effortlessly demolishing Wolverine and part of the mansion, Mystique proceeds to ''insult him for destroying Cerebro to his face''. This would've very easily have gotten her killed had the X-Men and Brotherhood not teamed up to stop him.

*** Señor Senior Sr. has had this happen to him ''twice''. "[[Recap/KimPossibleS1E18AnimalAttraction Animal Attraction]]" had him losing his billionaires' club membership after its president, Phillippe Bullion, learned about his ongoing rivalry with Kim, where he would at least expect him not to show up there anymore. Then in "[[Recap/KimPossibleS2E29TripleS Triple S]]", he was swindled by Vinnie Wheeler, a ConMan posing as a financial advisor, and [[BrokeEpisode lost his fortune and private island]]. Neither Bullion nor Wheeler thought they would face any retaliation from the Seniors for their respective deeds, but they would realize too late that antagonizing a father-and-son duo known to be international supervillains would be a terrible mistake, with the former nearly losing his hand to frostbite and being crushed by an icy stalactite (along with Kim and Ron) after they constructed a giant cryogenic device to freeze over his club, and the latter offering $2 billion for Senior Sr.'s capture after he took it upon himself to steal back the family fortune from him. [[spoiler: The situation with Wheeler resulted in Senior Jr. using the reward money to buy back their island, yet, [[KarmaHoudini Wheeler narrowly avoids legal ramifications for his crimes]].]]

* Pops up occasionally in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. When most of the cast are powerful {{Kung Fu Wizard}}s, it's only a matter of time. If there's a CentralTheme of this universe, it might as well be, '''Don't mess with a fully realized Avatar, you're just gonna get your butt kicked all the way to Ba Sing Se.'''
** Aang is a kid, so it's understandable that people might not think much of him. A much less justifiable example occurs between Avatar Roku and Fire Lord Sozin. Roku has finished his Avatar training, meaning he is straight-up the most powerful bender on the planet (even without accessing [[SuperMode the Avatar State]]). Sozin asked Roku to join him in "spreading the superior Fire Nation culture" across the world (Read: Conquer the world). When Roku basically says "Not on my watch", Sozin attacks him. Needless to say, a hilariously one-sided beatdown ensued, leaving Sozin minus a palace. [[note]]Sozin and Roku were very close friends and Sozin was absolutely sure that uniting the nations under his rule will benefit everybody. Still, there must have been a better way to do this rather than ignoring the avatar until he shows up at the front door and attacking him the second he disagrees with you. [[/note]]
** Seen in flashback in "Avatar Day", with a warlord trying to bully Avatar Kyoshi into surrender. When Kyoshi flexes her muscles (breaking off her village's peninsula from the mainland, forming Kyoshi Island), [[HoistByHisOwnPetard the warlord dies]] because he was too busy bellowing in rage to notice he was now standing on an unstable cliff. (His actual army [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere retreated]] the moment Kyoshi went into action).
** Related to the above examples, a notable (non-flashback) {{invo|kedTrope}}cation of this trope comes up in the first episode of the second season, "The Avatar State." An Earth Kingdom General tries to help Aang reach the eponymous SuperMode, and when everything he tries ends in failure, he resorts to threatening Katara. [[UnstoppableRage It ends about as well as you'd expect it to,]] and the fort where it happens gets smashed to pieces.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
** In a Season 1 flashback, Yakone bloodbends Aang. Aang goes into the Avatar state, chases Yakone down in about thirty seconds, puts him in a rock prison with earthbending, and then takes away his bending.
** The Earth Queen tries this on Korra, treating her like a random servant and then refusing to give Korra any information on the Airbenders that were being searched for (who the Queen was secretly conscripting into a secret army). While the Avatar State itself is never used on her, harassing and manipulating a HotBlooded PhysicalGod works as well for the Queen as this trope does for anyone else in the franchise, as she quickly finds herself with no Airbenders and the Avatar and her BadassCrew as enemies. When she's this to the BigBad, who unlike the heroes, [[TooDumbToLive has no qualms about killing]]...
** Also in Season 3, the Red Lotus's plan is to ''invoke'' this trope -- specifically, to force Korra into the Avatar State in self-defense, then kill her to end the reincarnation cycle. It's a testament to their ability that they almost make it work, as even they seem surprised at the raw power Korra unleashes when activating the Avatar State on instinct and not deliberately.
** During their fight early in Season 4, during a duel, Kuvira (who had the upper hand at that point) taunts Korra into shifting into the Avatar State. Once Korra does, she wipes the floor with Kuvira until her EnemyWithin rears its head and drives her back to normal.
