* During Chapter 6 of ''Fanfic/GodOfWarChainsOfTheHeart'', Thrúd comments that Sora seems like too much of a nice, comical goofball to be such a massive threat to the realms. Even when told of him severing two of the Eight Realms from the World Tree, she dismisses it as more the Keyblade than Sora himself.

This comes back to bite her in Chapter 35, where during the tournament, she decides she doesn't even need Mjölnir to fight him. The end result is Sora kicking her ass without much issue, even after she decides to whip out the hammer.

** Billy Butcher, as lampshaded by Hugo Strange, seriously underestimated both Batman and his RoguesGallery due to being blind by both his bias towards superheroes and his pride. He tries to take on Batman's foes and gets repeatedly outwitted or beaten before he's finally captured by the Dark Knight.
*** The Boys' attempt to go after Penguin and Two-Face's drug deal gets them caught by said villains, who remark that it was easy to track them down. Butcher's attempt to trick the Penguin also fails because the Penguin recognized him from the news and simply feigned ignorance to lure him into a false sense of security.
*** When The Boys attempt to go after the Scarecrow, Butcher thinks they can take him on since he has no powers and likely doesn't know how to fight, thinks he's stupid if he has no guards at the entrance, and thinks they can avoid the fear gas by holding their breath. The Scarecrow quickly outsmarts them all with a hidden trap sprung on MM, gasses Starlight when she confronts him and causes her to fight off Kimiko when she tries to calm her down (leading Kimiko to be knocked out by an ambush from Scarecrow's men while she's exhausted), has his men fire a dart with fear toxin at Hughie and knock out Butcher with a blow to the head while he's distracted by Hughie.
*** When The Boys try to sneak up on Mr. Freeze, he quickly catches them and freezes Kimiko, forcing Butcher and Hughie to retreat. When confronted by Deathstroke, Butcher tries to fight him under the logic that a BadassNormal like Batman being able to beat him means he can too (overlooking the fact that Batman has years of combat training and experience that Butcher cannot hope to match) and while his [[CombatPragmatist dirty fighting]] [[CurbStompCushion does allow him to last for a few minutes, he is still quickly outmatched and almost killed for his arrogance]]. It's because the GCPD arrive in time that Butcher survives at all, and it's because of Hughie's quick thinking that he and Kimiko are able to escape with Butcher.
*** The Boys' luck finally runs out when Batman arrives to deal with them and brings along Ace the Bat-Hound to help him apprehend them. All members of The Boys are easily apprehended by the two and they are taken to Arkham Asylum. Butcher tries to reveal Batman as Bruce Wayne to the public out of sheer spite, only for [[OutGambitted Batman to be one step ahead of him]] [[IdentityImpersonator by having Martian Manhunter take on Bruce Wayne's appearance to disprove it]].

** Izuku's [[GeekPhysique scrawny frame]] combined with his [[NervousWreck mousy]] [[HumbleHero personality]] tends to make people underestimate him when they first meet. Kendo Rappa brazenly challenges Izuku to an arm wrestle, Itsuka calls him arrogant for declaring that none of the robots at the U.A. Entrance Exam could hurt him, and Shouto wonders why Endeavor warned him to be wary of a kid who didn't look like he would last five seconds against [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Kite Man.]] They quickly revise their opinions after seeing him in action with his [[SuperpowerLottery Kryptonian]] [[FlyingBrick powerset]].
** Due to being overshadowed by Izuku for much of his life, Bakugou tends to be treated as a joke by his peers. But even with [[HandicappedBadass his debilitating injuries]], he manages to outscore both of the recommended students in 1-A on the Quirk Apprehension Test and scored more Villain Points than anyone else on the entrance exam. Come the Heroes vs. Villains exercise, [[spoiler:he defeats Shouto Todoroki, who had previously talked down to him, in single combat, albeit when the [[HonorBeforeReason former wouldn't use his fire.]]]]

* ''Fanfic/DoingItRightThisTime'': When Rei sorties to fight Sachiel, Misato informs her of the location of the nearest weaponry building. Rei, though, answers she would prefer to solve that situation with her bare hands. Misato thinks that Rei is underestimating her enemy and about to get beaten... until Rei starts destroying Sachiel in spectacular fashion.
-->'''Misato:''' Rei, there's a weapon locker a hundred metres to the north of your position.\\
'''Rei:''' Thank you for the thought, Captain, but that will not be necessary. [...] I would prefer to solve this problem in a more... hands-on fashion.\\
'''Misato:''' Rei, I really don't think that's a good idea!\\
'''Rei:''' Excuse me, Captain, I have an Angel to kill.\\
'''Misato:''' This is not going to end... Holy shit.\\
'''Ritsuko:''' I'm not wild about her methods, [...] but I can't argue with her results. I wonder if they even have reproductive organs there?

* ''Fanfic/HeroicMyth'' (''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' & ''LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon''): Several characters underestimate the Servants because they are considered Level 1 (the Level system doesn't consider past skills and experience, and everybody who joins a Familia starts at Level 1).

* ''Fanfic/HeroAcademiaDXD'' (''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'' & ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''): Riser makes the mistake of thinking Rias' Peerage will be unable to defeat him, being particularly insulting towards Izuku. During the Rating Game, Rias' Peerage wipes the floor with Riser's (the only two that remain unhurt being Isabella - who retires - and Ravel - who chooses not to interfere) and Izuku ''destroys'' Riser in a fistfight, finishing him with the [[MegatonPunch Dragon Smash]].

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6677172/1/Zero-Interface Zero Interface]]'' one of the professors challenges [[LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero Kir]][[PlayingWithFire che]] to use her strongest attack so he can demonstrate why [[BlowYouAway wind]] is the strongest element. Unfortunately for the man, Kirche recently [[TookALevelInBadass upgraded from a triangle mage to a square mage]] and his attempt to use wind magic to rip apart her fireball results in destroying nearly everything in the room and burning him rather badly.

* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'': The entire Apex sees nothing special in Chloe Cerise except she's a princess playing pretend with her little pipe, her puppy and paper prince partners. She going to stop the Apex? HA! They'll end her ''first!'' [[spoiler:While she doesn't technically end them, her death by Simon's hands is what causes Grace to realize that there are ''severe'' consequences to her actions and her lies.]] In the sequel, Grace even glumly admits that she was more focused on the Pokémon Trianers she met before than Chloe (who is ''also'' from the Pokémon world) and thought so little about her.)

* In "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3004123/1/Dark-Legacy Dark Legacy]]", Zorpox ultimately falls victim to this on two levels when he [[spoiler:tries to use the Attitudinator to turn Kim evil; firstly he didn’t consider that Kim’s evil identity (Sheela of the Leopard People) wouldn’t be content to be ''his'' sidekick, and secondly he didn’t consider that Kim would have anticipated this particular scheme and devised a means of protecting herself from the morality switch, with the result that she was faking being evil until she could turn Ron back to normal]].
