** Teenage wanna-be villain Jack Spicer, who underwent VillainDecay from the second season onwards, and quickly became a one-man GoldfishPoopGang. He was constantly pushed around by everyone else, both on the heroes side and the newer much more dangerous villains. At least, until the penultimate episode, when a BadFuture shows that, in a timeline when Omi wasn't around to constantly thwart him, he'd defeated all the major villains who were taken more seriously than him, conquered the world, and rechristened himself the Emperor of Darkness. [[BigBad Hannibal Roy Bean]] even lampshades it in his first appearance by telling Jack that he would have no problems becoming the worst villain ever if he ever learned to conquer his fears.

* Shredder of the ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' cartoon is similarly considered an AdaptationalWimp, a heavy downgrade from his fearsome alternate counterparts...but surprisingly, back in the days he was actually a case of AdaptationalBadass: where Comic Book!Shredder is [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] and killed in his first appearance, Cartoon!Shredder is a BadassNormal ninja master that can hold his own against the turtles despite being a normal human, possesses combat skills that usually only Master Splinter can rival, and his schemes, though cartoony, range anywhere from pitiful to [[BewareTheSillyOnes potentially deadly]]. And following the DarkerAndEdgier reboot in later seasons, he has [[DemotedToExtra a minor]], but more fearsome role.
