* ''WesternAnimation/XMen97'': Morph's shapeshifting allows them to copy any superpower that's based purely on physical features, but not any powers that are energy-, psychic-, or magic-based. For instance, they turn into the Juggernaut and gain his super-strength and armor, but not his unstoppable momentum, since that ability is purely magical.

** P'andor is a radioactive EnergyBeing who has to be contained in a specifically made containment suit to keep the radiation he emits from affecting anyone. As Kevin notes, a containment suit that can hold P'andor can obviously touch him, so he absorbs the material the containment suit is made of in order to make it possible for him to hit P'andor.

** Celestialsapiens have to come to a unanimous decision by their two personalities (three in Ben's case when he's Alien X) before they can do anything. The Galactic Gladiator has mostly overcome this weakness, until Ben realizes he can present him with way too many decisions to make at once. By duplicating Alien X dozens of times over, Ben causes the Galactic Gladiator to fall into a standstill where his personalities argue over which one to attack first, then strikes before they can agree.

** Garnet’s power to predict the immediate future is hindered by the fact that there are numerous possible paths someone can take at anytime, occasionally [[ParalysisByAnalysis overloading her with the sheer amount of possibilities and information]]. She nearly has a nervous breakdown when she has to see the futures of five cats at once. She also has trouble predicting improbable (but not impossible) events and what she foresees is sometimes affected by her personal biases; she fails to predict [[spoiler:Steven giving himself up to Aquamarine]] not only because it’s unlikely, but also because she fails to understand that Steven is growing up and not likely to make the same sort of decisions he would when he was younger. Also, to predict something, she must be looking for it; she can't see the resolution of [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E14CryForHelp "Cry for Help"]] because she was ''looking'' for the Crystal Gems capturing Peridot, but [[spoiler:Peridot didn't have anything to do with the episode beyond instigating it — Pearl was actually the one behind everything, which blindsides and infuriates Garnet]].

** During a crossover with ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'', Toyman tries to fight Static and Suerman with robotic army men made of a [[ManOfKryptonite kryptonite/plastic polymer]], having cottoned on to Static's weakness to insulators. Static gets around this by shorting out there processors.

** Because Wildmutt [[SenseImpairedMonster relies entirely on his sense of smell to percieve his environment]], anything that impares that can leave him helpless, as seen in the episode ''Side Effects'' where the congestion of Ben's cold leaves him completely blind.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In the ''Treehouse of Horror'' segment [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever "Attack of the 50-Foot Eyesores,"]] all of Springfield's giant advertisements come to life and start destroying the town. When Lisa seeks out the company that made the advertisements, the CEO explains that since advertising relies on people watching it to be effective, distracting the populace will drain the monsters of their powers. Lisa turns to Music/PaulAnka for help, and they compose a catchy jingle--"Just Don't Look"--encouraging all of the townspeople to ignore the creatures; sure enough, they all immediately keel over and die from a lack of attention.

** While Toph's senses that allow her to be a LivingLieDetector can be fooled by a sufficiently skilled liar, (Azula once demonstrates this in front of Toph) they can also be fooled by someone who genuinely believes what they say, such as when Jet was brainwashed.
