* In ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', NonPoweredCostumedHero Bruce Wayne manages to overpower and almost kill Superman and even stuns Doomsday (an AncientEvil HumanoidAbomination deemed too dangerous to live by Kryptonian scientists) through exploiting the KryptoniteFactor. Of course in the first example he needed PoweredArmour and in the second example didn't fight just ducked and dodged like crazy before firing a lucky shot, [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu otherwise he would've been a smear on the ground in both cases]].

* In the climax of ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'', [[spoiler:the titular Zorro-esque cat hero kicks the crap out of '''[[TheGrimReaper Death]]''' himself (in the form a scary-as-shit white wolf) in their duel and even disarms him. As Puss himself says [[TheProblemWithFightingDeath he knows he can't actually beat him]], but will still fight all he can to protect his ninth life, which Puss intends to spend with Kitty and Perrito. Death, [[DoNotFearTheReaper no longer having any power over Puss]], leaves promptly]].

** ''Film/GodzillaMinusOne'' features probably one of the most impressive examples of this considering how underpowered the human characters are, being war torn Japanese civilians and ex-vets up against a powerful more modern [[BeamSpam beam spamming]] Godzilla and unlike the original film don’t even have a super weapon like the Oxygen Destroyer. [[spoiler: Nonetheless thanks to making use of Freon tanks, the crushing weight and decompression of the ocean and a kamikaze plane full of explosives they are able to put Goji down and have a ending where EveryoneLives. Though TheStinger infers Godzilla will eventually reform himself with his HealingFactor.]]



*** Captain America stands up to Loki, the God of Mischief, defecting his blast aimed for a defiant old man and going on to fight Loki hand-to-hand. Then there's Iron Man, who not only blasts Loki down twice but goes toe to toe with Thor and at multiple points actually tosses the God of Thunder around like a beachball. Hulk of course goes several steps further, subjecting both Thor and Loki respectively to a massive beatdown and even lampshading it with the latter.

* Invoked -- ironically, by a ''villain'' -- in ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}''. Hades poses this hypothetical question to his lackeys Pain and Panic: How do you kill a god? Pain and Panic, playing along, remark that this is impossible, since gods are immortal. Hades then explains to them his plan to use his dark magic to turn the baby Hercules into a human just so he can be killed.
* ''WesternAnimation/KuboAndTheTwoStrings'':

* A minor one in ''WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons''; Wilbur manages to take down a T Rex (like what) with only a meatball cannon.
* In the climax of ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'', [[spoiler:the titular Zorro-esque cat hero kicks the crap out of '''[[TheGrimReaper Death]]''' himself (in the form a scary-as-shit white wolf) in their duel and even disarms him. As Puss himself says [[TheProblemWithFightingDeath he knows he can't actually beat him]], but will still fight all he can to protect his ninth life, which Puss intends to spend with Kitty and Perrito. Death, [[DoNotFearTheReaper no longer having any power over Puss]], leaves promptly]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'', the evil witch Maleficent is imbued with [[InformedAbility "all the powers of Hell"]]. The prince defeats her anyway.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie'', [=SpongeBob=] himself uses ThePowerOfRock [[Awesome/SpongebobSquarepants to defeat Neptune]] ([[PhysicalGod God of the Sea]]).

* ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'' during the climax as a non-verbal "Fuck You" to the Unity and Darkseid in particular, Aquaman stabs the New God Steppenwolf through the torso, Superman sends him flying and Wonder Woman beheads him just as he goes through the portal. Granted Superman had greatly softened Steppenwolf with a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown prior.
** There's also ancient invasion where Darkseid himself invaded looking for the Anti-Life Equation and got his ass kicked by the united forces of Greek Gods, Amazons, Atlanteans and regular human armies. Ares even critically wounded Darkseid with an [[AnAxToGrind axe]] to the shoulder.

* In ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', NonPoweredCostumedHero Bruce Wayne manages to overpower and almost kill Superman and even stuns Doomsday (an AncientEvil HumanoidAbomination deem to dangerous to live by Kryptonian scientists) through exploiting the KryptoniteFactor. Of course in the first example he needed PoweredArmour and second example didn't fight just ducked and dodged like crazy before firing a lucky shot, [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu otherwise he would've been smear in both cases]].
** Wonder Woman and Superman being able to overpower Doomsday count as this, [[spoiler: it takes a HeroicSacrifice from Superman using a Kryptonite Spear to kill Doomsday.]]
