*** After Arthur has made a name for himself as the masked adventurer Note, a group of adventurers are in an inn talking about his reputation and feats when Arthur himself walks into the establishment to pick up some rations. One of the adventurers, Turman, is jealous of Arthur's reputation and decides to pick on him as Jasmine is not around. Arthur dodges all of his attacks, [[{{Fingore}} cuts off all but the thumb on his sword hand]], and then cowers him into submission with his KillingIntent.

*** In another original scene to the {{Webcomic}} version, Arthur is confronted by Lucas and his cronies. One of said cronies, Marcois, ends up attacking Arthur in a fit of blind rage. Even though he is more than capable of subduing him at full power, Arthur notes that Marcois is abnormally stronger than expected and he experiences difficulty in subduing him without breaking his PowerLimiter (which he has to prevent Lucas from recognizing him as Note). It takes Sylvie turning into her dragon form to take him down. Once Marcois is incapacitated, Arthur and his superior Claire uncover that he has a set of bloody PowerTattoos engraved along his spine which are the reason for his abnormal condition, which are connected to the Radical faction on campus.

* Happens to Mackenzie Blaise, the half-demon protagonist at ''Literature/TalesOfMU''. She's super-strong, invulnerable to non-magical attacks, and can conjure fire at will, but she's had it impressed on her that she doesn't dare fight back.
* Occurs in ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' a lot, as one would expect when you have a lot of teens where some students are [[SuperpowerLottery a lot more powerful]] than [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway some others]] -- though as we've seen in some stories set outside of [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]], this isn't restricted to children.
** At the school itself, students who have problems with UnstoppableRage, extremely [[AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength dangerous]] or [[PowerIncontinence poorly-controlled]] powers, or a history of excessive violence all get various kinds of 'Ultraviolent' armbands as a warning to other students not to poke at them. Still, the fact that bullying happens '''at all''' in the Academy qualifies as MuggingTheMonster, at the very least, considering that nine times out of ten the bully doesn't even know the victim's abilities beforehand; but since they know that their victims have power of ''some'' sort, BullyingTheDragon is pretty much inevitable - just assuming that any given student you haven't seen before is less dangerous than you are is taking a pretty stupid risk.
** As bad as it can be ''at'' Whateley, that's ''nothing'' compared to what sometimes happens elsewhere. In Australia, where some kids bullying a teen mutant who was a known [[UnstoppableRage rager]] led to the massacre known as "Rager's Night", laws were later put into place which meant that anyone deliberately triggering a rager would get the same legal consequences the rager would.
** [[PersonOfMassDestruction Tennyo]] had been the target of this sort of thing on occasion, at least until the Halloween Invasion impressed on most of the students just how dangerous this was. The fact that [[TooDumbToLive it still kept happening]] led the Whateley administrators to invoke Section 33 of the school charter for her, meaning that any deliberate provocation -- taunting her, bullying her, starting a fight with her outside of training exercises, etc. -- can now result in ''immediate expulsion''. There has only been one case where this is not so. Let us just say that it involved the simulators, the reincarnation of the Greek god of the underworld and two hackers. Greek God has issues and wasn't expelled. Those who set it up, however...
** Most of the [[RandomPowerRanking "Class X Entity"]] students fall under this -- Fey, for example, is a Wiz-7 -- a mutant/mage so powerful that her special order says that the corrupt Mutant Control Office has pre-approval to use lethal force on her if she gets out of line.
** A large part of why Generator and Shroud ([[WhichMe both of whom are Jade Sinclair]]) is CuteAndPsycho comes from a series of BreakTheCutie moments from bullies who expected her to be an easy target. The result of this made her in some ways more dangerous than many who [[PowerLevels punch at much higher weight class]], simply because she ended up getting ''creative'' with her powers.
** Pointed out to [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Carl]], after he provoked the former top Ultraviolent: "First it's you getting mixed up with [[HotAsHell demon-girl]], then [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown you aggravate Merry]], and now you can't leave the giant clawed, spined mutant kid who tears the demons apart like a wolf in a chicken hatchery alone? When will you learn?" Minutes after this admonition, Carl taunts said "spined mutant kid" [[note]] that being Razorback, who had been the top-ranked Ultraviolent in his first year at Whateley due in combination to being [[UnstoppableRage Class-3 Rager]] and [[TheSpeechless unable to talk to people]], and so had no easy way to warn off someone who was doing something which might set him off[[/note]] ''again'', resulting in a beatdown ending with the loss of a femur.
** How about Gotterdammerung? He's a skinny, cute kid who gets picked on a lot. His power is ''mass disintegration''. The toughs know he isn't going to kill them, so he's easy to bully, but would you really want to be the one he finally turns his power on if he snaps?
*** This applies to Folder as well; too many bullies thought that since he was an ActualPacifist, it gave them the green light to torment him with total disregard to how they were courting a very nasty sort of ForcedTransformation if he went off the deep end.

** In Volume 10, [[spoiler:During *** During the Siege of Vildorial, Arthur [[spoiler:Arthur ends up using the tempus warp the Wraiths had brought with them to prevent the Destruction Godrune godrune from overtaking him and thus killing everyone around him, which takes him to an Alacryan military facility somewhere in Vechor. He is immediately surrounded by a force of Alacryan soldiers led by Janus Graeme, a professor at Central Academy who had tried to frame Arthur during his time in Alacrya. Graeme tells his troops that they have nothing to fear as Arthur appears to barely be clinging to life, only to be proven horribly wrong as Arthur proceeds to let the power of Destruction loose, obliterating the camp and everyone within it before he returns back to Vildorial. He then intimidates remaining Alacryan forces, including the Scythes Melzri and Viessa Viessa, into retreating retreating, ending the battle in favor of Dicathen.]]Dicathen]].
** This also happens to a few other characters not named Arthur.
*** In the {{Webcomic}}, the aforementioned Lucas is ironically subjected to this trope moments before doing it himself. In an additional scene outlining what he was doing before the start of the attack, Lucas took one of the Radicals' elixirs. After doing so, Lucas collapsed to the ground from the strain which caused his fellow Radicals including his former lackey Charles to mock him both as a weakling and a half-blood. Unfortunately for them, Lucas was not done for just yet, and as a demonstration of his newfound power he proceeded to kill all of them on the spot for their insults.
*** When the asuran general Aldir is sent to purge the Council of corruption by killing the Greysunders, Agrona's puppets on the Council, they summon their Lances to defend them. Both the Greysunders and their Lances are overconfident about fending off this mysterious intruder and throw insults and threats at him the whole time. Unfortunately for them, as an asura Aldir is miles above the Lances in terms of power level. He effortlessly knocks out both of the dwarf Lances with a FingerPokeOfDoom before ordering the helpless Greysunders to release their Lances from their service and then killing them where they stood. To add insult to injury, Aldir was holding back the whole time as he needed the dwarf Lances alive for the coming war.
*** After [[spoiler:being imprisoned beneath Taegrin Caelum as punishment for his mishandling of the Victoriad and allowing Arthur to humiliate the Vritra, the former Sovereign Kiros is brought face to face with the Legacy, Agrona's pet PersonOfMassDestruction and a known asura-killer. Despite knowing her reputation and power, Kiros is a craven and delusional individual. He has the arrogance to boast about his superiority to the Legacy and threaten her, leading to her draining the mana (which is essentially the lifeblood of asuras like him) from his body]].
*** After the Wraiths [[spoiler:capture the rogue Sovereign Oludari, they come across a Dicathian refugee caravan and attack it in order to seize it as a HumanShield. Upon spotting them, the caravan's guards under the command of Diane Whitehall attack the Wraiths. The Wraiths, being leagues above these Dicathian soldiers, effortlessly kill all of them with Diane getting her entire face melted off for her troubles]].
** This happens to Arthur quite a lot.
*** In another original scene to the {{Webcomic}} version, Arthur is confronted by Lucas and his cronies. One of said cronies, Marcois, ends up attacking Arthur in a fit of blind rage. Even though he is more than capable of subduing him at full power, Arthur notes that Marcois is abnormally stronger than expected and he experiences difficulty in subduing him without breaking his PowerLimiter (which he has to prevent Lucas from recognizing him as Note). It takes Sylvie turning into her dragon form to take him down. Once Marcois is incapacitated, Arthur and his superior Claire uncover that he has a set of bloody PowerTattoos engraved along his spine which are the reason for his abnormal condition, which are connected to the Radical faction on campus.
