It illustrates Bodyguarding a Badass rather than this trope. The former doesn't have a pic, so moving the current image there might be more appropriate (a quality upgrade would be nice as well).

For Overshadowed by Awesome, how about something like Hawkeye fighting alongside The Hulk? [1] [2]? Not sure if it illustrates the overshadowed aspect enough though.

Previous thread. I can see the argument for moving it. Not really feeling the Hawkeye/Hulk suggestions.

Agreeing to move. 1.2 is okay (ignoring the terrible montaging job)

Move it. 1.2 works well enough.

I'm really not seeing any overshadowing.

Me neither. If anything the shot makes them look like equals.

Yeah, I don't see overshadowing being expressed either.

I think that just looks like her attacking him by destroying his equipment. The trope is more about the perception of some characters just not being very good, despite that they objectively are.

My suggestion. A collage from Dragon Ball manga [1]

The new picture have the slight problem of being read right-to-left in the upper panels.
