Please don't try to get different frames/manga panels from it. Sure, he's a good example, but there's hardly anything that shows him dispelling things in one frame since all he has to do is touch it with his hand. I'm not sure about the manga but given the black and white nature it's bound to be worse when compared to a lot of color pictures.

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.

Shit, that's a bad image.
I was gonna say I thought we had this one, but it was just Anti-Magic.
I'm not sure why, but a lot of Protoss stuff shows up on GIS.
Nothing good, but one funny one

Wait...what about kryptonite? (Or however that's spelled)

You spelled it right, but kryptonite is more "poison" than "power remover". I think, I haven't looked at the trope page, let me make sure that's not an option.
Yup, there's a kryptonite that is an example, but it's one of the funny colored ones, rather than green kryptonite (which is what I assume everyone would be familiar with).

I actually didn't know the color of it. I just know that it does something bad to Superman.

The best I've been able to find so far is the image on Trickbind
.

Green is the "normal" kind that just acts as a Proximity Toxin, he loses his powers and starts dying. There's other colors that do random shit to him.

Really weird stuff. Pink kryptonite makes you gay. Seriously.
In any case, would it make a good image is the question? Is kryptonite recognizable enough?

I'm pretty sure that if Superman starts to go "Oh shit!" or something over it the audience will know it's bad for him. There's probably a panel where Superman would explain why, but I don't know.

Well, I think it wouldn't be a great image because it's not specifically a nullifier, but a poison or general weakness. It's be like saying silver is a nullifier for werewolves because it fucks them up, when it's a poison.

One version is though, isn't it? Are there no panels where superman freaks out and says why on that specific one?

Dunno, I don't read superman. And there's a lot to sift through.
According to The Other Wiki Gold kryptonite is what we're looking for.

It might be a good idea to PM Sue if we're looking for comic book pictures. She seems to know a lot about them.

Just saw the thread now....
There's a very common comics trope answering the question "What do you do with a powerful supervillain after the heroes have defeated him?" A guy who can go toe-to-toe with Superman, it's tough to hold him in prison. And even if you have a specialized prison for that, transporting him to that prison is, in itself, a problem.
So what they generally do is show the villain getting put in these huge handcuff/gauntlet/manacle type things, which are stipulated to cancel out their super powers. (ALWAYS Left unasked is, if the authorities have the ability to make these things, why can't they be weaponized or something?)
It's a very common thing, actually so common I'll have to think a bit about where to look for images, but there are a ton out there.

Here's an example of what I was talking about. This one's a little more "abstract" than the usual depiction (which is like big gigantic metal things encasing the hands), but is still clear enough, I think. Thor's even talking about them:

I got a feeling that's gonna get hit with the "too much text" argument.
Another One Piece one for good measure.

I know those handcuffs don't allow them to use their special powers, but it's rather difficult to convey this from that...
If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.
I dunno; in the first frame, you see him using some kind of fire power. In the last frame, he's not, and he's being attacked. Pretty clear.
Nah, not clear at all. First he's on fire, then he falls down, then...laser beams? What? Where's the power nullification? If there are fire or laser powers there, they're clearly not being nullified.
Could be worse
That image with the handcuffs makes me go completely "huh." just looks like a failed jailbreak.
Maybe a shot from X3 where Mystique is losing her powers?
Everything can be found on the Internet... except common sense.
Hi
That's not a true example. Now, Beast reaching toward whassisface and his hand turning from blue and furry to regular human, that would be an example.
Frankly, this is a bad image. I don't know if we're going to be able to find a good image for this trope, but the one up right now has to go; the only connection it has are the (difficult-to-read) words.
Each night, he abandons the trappings of civilization. Each morning, he repairs the front door.
