(For your unspecific examples)

[[AC: Anime and Manga]]

* A villain example happened in ''DragonballZ'' in which Cell is attacked by Earth military who are blown to bits.
** The Red Ribbon Army attacks Goku once or twice during the series as well.  In the original ''DragonBall'' series, they were a little more likely to kill Goku (although not by much) but by DBZ, Goku is several times more powerful and practically feels sorry for them.

[[AC: Comics]]

* In TheSixties, SpiderMan's enemies would often send a group of gangsters aftert Spidey who would often try to fight him hand-to-hand and got man handled everytime.  The odd part about this is that the villains all had powers that allowed them to deal with Spidey on even ground but they apparently wanted to see their gang get clobbered before fighting him.
** This also happens whenever Spider-Man goes after enemies such as [[TheDon Kingpin]] or other mafia leaders.  Eventually, he ends up having to kick the crap out of a room full of gangsters at some point.
* Averted in ''SavageDragon'' when a group of criminals decide to get revenge on Dragon for sending them to prison in the very first issue.  They had no powers and were soundly defeated the first time.  When they come back, Dragon scoffs at them until it is revealed that they had befriended the massive superhuman [[TheBrute Zeek]] who knocked Dragon clear across Chicago with a single punch.
