In ''ComicBook/Superman1939'' #158 He becomes a Franchise/{{Batman}} {{Expy}} Batman-like hero with [[Characters/SupermanJimmyOlsen Jimmy Olsen]], becoming Nightwing and Flamebird -- Dick Grayson uses the former name in honor of Supes. Supes.
** In ''ComicBook/Superman1939'' issue 123, a crook steals a magic artifact from Jimmy's apartment and uses it to wish away Superman's powers so he and his partners in crime can kill him. The two spend much of the story collaborating to fake Superman's usual abilities for the criminals' benefit. Once they get the artifact back, Jimmy uses another wish to bring Superman back to normal (for him).
** In ''ComicBook/Superman1939'' issue 172, Superman gets stripped of his powers by a comet that he diverts to protect other worlds. He had some warning that this might happen and picked a successor - who ends up sacrificing himself to give Superman his powers back at the end of the story.

* ''Fanfic/HoursVerse'': Elizabeth, Theodore, and Margaret become this after being cut off from the Velvet Room and [[MagicFocusObject their guests' Compendiums]] due to [[spoiler: Yaldabaoth]]'s takeover. However, they are still physically stronger and more resilient than normal humans, and picking up conventional weapons eventually graduates them to BroughtDownToBadass.

* ''WebAnimation/EpithetErased'': The reason the Arsene Amulet gets so much attention is its ability to remove, restore and transfer Epithets. While it ''could'' be used to inflict a permanent DePower, which seems to be why [[MugglePower Bliss Ocean]] is so interested in it, the only person to actually be affected by it so far in the storyline is Sylvie, and he gets his Epithet back within twenty minutes, and he's unconscious for most of them.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': When [[Characters/AmphibiaAnneBoonchuy Anne Boonchuy]], [[Characters/AmphibiaMarcyWu Marcy Wu]] and [[Characters/AmphibiaSashaWaybright Sasha Waybright]] got teleported to Amphibia by the Calamity Box, the three gems on the box's lid lost their power and somehow got transferred to each of the girls, as evidenced by each girl's eyes flashing the color of the gem they're associated with before manifesting them. Recharging the gems at each of the temples causes them to lose their powers in addition to their connection with them, as shown by the glow draining out; this allows them to be useless against King Andrias in his quest to conquer all dimensions, just as he planned. [[spoiler:Anne only charged her gem halfway, meaning she still has her connection with it, which comes in handy in the Season 2 finale.]]

* The ''ComicBook/XMen'' storyline ''ComicBook/{{Lifedeath}}'' has Storm get hit with a power nullifier gun built by Forge that stole her powers. The gun was aimed at Rogue, but Storm took the hit.
