** Which Dr. [=McNinja=] then counters: he uses EnemyMine and BuddyCopShow cliches and joins up with Rayner against the clones, thereby making them both strong. Rayner doesn't want to team up with his enemy, but since rejecting help means rejecting ThePowerOfFriendship, [[IneffectualLoner he becomes powerless against the clones when he doesn't allow McNinja to help him]]. Thus they both defeat all the clones, which means [=McNinja=] is at full power again.

** One of the straightest examples is with pirates in "So what IS a [=McNinja=]?" The Doctor is [[OneManArmy One-Man-Armying]] his way through the pirates, until their captain tells them to stand down and let him do the fighting. Then he proceeds to put up a fight and toss the Doctor overboard. It's also AuthorityEqualsAsskicking, but aside from the present trope, it's pretty surprising since pirates are supposed to be no match for ninjas for obvious reasons.

* The ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'' adaptation of ''VideoGame/MegaMan5'' had Bob clone every Robot Master from the first four games dozens of times to overwhelm Mega Man and friends. However, they're so weak as to have several taken one from a single charge shot. It could be handwaved by Bob using Dr. Wily's MookMaker to spawn them rapid-fire and sacrificing quality over quantity.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' does this as well, coincidentally [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0453.html on the same day]] as the first Dr. [=McNinja=] strip referenced above.
-->You wanna fight? There's only one ninja left, and that means I'm death incarnate!
** Applied straight [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1018.html here]]: after a fight between Roy and vampire Durkon that required numerous strips with a partial victory by Roy and vampire Durkon forced to protect himself behind a shield, then a whole squad of vampires created from the bodies of the clerics of the Creed of Stone is destroyed quickly, with Roy killing three of them in three hits. Justified by the fact that Durkon is a high level cleric, while nothing is known about the level of the clerics of the Creed of Stone.
* The page image comes from a scene from ''Webcomic/SamAndFuzzy'', where Mr. Blank takes on the [[FacelessGoons mook legions]] of Mr. Black. Blank and Black are both blankfaces, elite ninja assassins, while the mooks are... well, they're mooks. As Mister Blank puts it about two minutes later: "Looks like I might have to change my name to Mr. Red!"

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'': In "The Sci-fi Adventure", the spaceship Torg and Riff are on is attacked by a group of xenomorph-style aliens in space. The crewmen shoot them easily in zero gravity outside the ship (when there are a lot of them), but one of them manages to infect one of the humans, causing one more alien to burst out of him inside the ship and go on a rampage. She starts killing crew members effortlessly by herself, until only Riff and Torg are left, at which point they find some big guns and shoot her down.

* It's one of [[http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/web05/2011/5/17/17/enhanced-buzz-23827-1305669365-5.jpg 14 Things That Never Happen in Real Life]].
* Lampshaded in ''Webcomic/CaptainSNES'' in a [[http://www.captainsnes.com/images/guest/Drekalheavenhell3b.png guest comic]] showing various characters' respective ideas of heaven and hell. In Edge's heaven, he is surrounded by 9 obviously lovestruck Rydias. Edge acknowledges the readers knowledge that this would probobly be too much for one person, before stating "I have 3 words for you. Inverse. Ninja. Law."
* In ''Webcomic/DragonMango'', [[http://dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter07/dm07-46.htm Peaches comments on how much easier it was to fight a bunch, and Bleu Berry explains as a scientific principle]]. They call it the "Snow Dancer Syndrome."

* In ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' Book 13 the first one of the Gavs to turn into a SuperSoldier, "Binnie", slaughters two Toughs and a lab full of civilians before he's taken down, while all the subsequent Super Soldier Gavs are killed off quickly. Justified in that Binnie had a few days in quarantine to grow weapons and boosts and he took Tagon's Toughs by surprise, and by the time the other Gavs started turning the Toughs were ready for it with close air support.

* ''Webcomic/{{Dreamkeepers}}'': One of the primary obstacles faced by the invading Nightmares to their conquest of the Dreamworld is that, as they invade the Dreamworld, it starts to resist them. The more and more powerful Nightmares manifest in the Dreamworld, the harder it becomes for new Nightmares to manifest. And conversely, as Nightmares are banished, it becomes easier for new ones to enter.

** Later two airships full of Wulfenbach Stealth Fighters were chasing the [[TheHunter Vespiary Squad]]. They even managed to kill or wound most of this crack team, but ran into a few [[SuperSoldier Jäger]] generals and a [[McNinja Smoke Knight]] who in turn massacred them and made it look insultingly easy.

* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' has applied this trope to every fight the title character's been in (except for the Raptor Banditos, who turned out not to be villains), even going so far as to [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/18p08 explicitly reference]] it on several occasions.

** Gil goes out alone, [[GenreSavvy likely in full knowledge of this trope]], to face off against an army of invading clanks. Naturally, he destroys some and forces surrender from the rest. The most hilarious portion of this sequence is that the invading army's general [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071121 realizes what's going on]] and attempts to have Gil shot before he can do anything.

** Lampshaded on his behalf by Sydney, who realizes that as the last villain standing and one who's refused to fight before now, he's probably the toughest and will take a lot to beat, with her loudly calling "inverse ninja!" on it.

*** He did have a really powerful weapon. It is elsewhere established that most of the crazy inventors who try to face off against armies with their lone death ray tend to meet a predictable end.
