** The Creator/TomKing-penned ''Batman/Elmer Fudd'' has Fudd as a realistic Batman-style thug who is a bit of a CloudCuckoolander, but with a double-barreled shotgun and hunter-gained reflexes, he actually manages to fight Batman to a standstill (and is able to detect Batsy is sneaking behind him rather quickly).

** The Creator/TomKing-penned ''Batman/Elmer Fudd'' has Fudd special reimagines Elmer as a realistic Batman-style thug character who is a bit of a CloudCuckoolander, but is an accomplished hunter and former professional killer with a double-barreled shotgun and hunter-gained reflexes, reflexes. As such, during their brief encounter, he puts up more of a fight than most of the goons Batman runs into, actually manages to fight Batman to a standstill (and is able to detect Batsy is sneaking behind him rather quickly).quickly). You get the feeling that this version of Bugs relies on trickery because Fudd is downright scary in an open confrontation.

* The ''DC Meets Looney Tunes'' maxi-series involved a WeirdCrossover between… well, WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes and DC Comics characters, occasionally [[LetsYouAndHimFight having them fight each other]]. While many of them (such as Bugs Bunny) were awesome fighters by just [[TheTrickster being themselves]], we have a few examples of this trope:

* ''ComicBook/StaticSeasonOne''
** In the original comics and cartoon, Virgil didn't have any hand-to-hand skills prior to becoming Static. Here, he's explicitly stated to have trained in martial arts (though he's admittedly rusty), and uses it in tandem with his powers
** In the show and original comics, Daisy was a non-powered love interest for Virgil. Here, she's a Bang Baby just like him, with the ability to effectively deconstruct whatever she's touching at will.
** Richie (With no Gear persona or implied powers) and Freida actively help Virgil with his raid on the government's Bang Baby prison, wearing all black clothes and masks as they break into the prison's security.
** [[spoiler: In the show, Ebon's powers were certainly intimidating, but mostly consisted of limited shapeshifting and being able to [[ThinkingUpPortals make portals]]. This version of Ebon is ''much'' more terrifying to the point he's effectively a HumanoidAbomination, with his CastingAShadow powers being notably more potent and gaining the ability to MindRape his victims to extract information. He also has more resistance to bright light compared to the cartoon, to the point where he's able to effectively blot out a whole brightly lit room through his appearance alone, but can still be overwhelmed by extreme light, as shown when he initially tried to rescue Adam on his own.]]

** In [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog the games]], Amy has always been a fairly realistic character for her age. You don't expect her to be badass or whatnot, she's just a girl who's in love with Sonic. In ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic'' however she's quite TheLancer to Sonic. She's far more lethal than any other version of her to date, and sports some ImprobableAimingSkills.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', Bruce Wayne had to retire due to a heart-condition brought about by his old age, hence why he needs Terry [=McGinnis=] to take on the role of Batman while he acts as MissionControl. In ''ComicBook/BatmanBeyondTheWhiteKnight'', Bruce is still as strong and capable as ever, having kept in shape during his time in prison. The only debilitating condition he has here is extreme anxiety from his repressed trauma manifesting as panic attacks that would overwhelm him a few times.

Crosswicking BBB Movie 2

Added DiffLines:

* For ''Animation/BoBoiBoyMovie2 - Evolusi Kuasa'', the comic adaptation of the animated film, [=BoBoiBoy=] Glacier's appearance is extended to a larger role in the final battle, compared to his movie appearance where he only uses an "Ice Golem" to stop a dam that Retak'ka destroys. The comic has him [[AdaptationalEarlyAppearance appear before]] the dam's destruction, using his "Ice Golem" to attack Retak'ka and pummel him to the ground (which Fang did instead in the original movie). When Retak'ka destroys the dam, Glacier stops him by himself with an "Ice Wave" instead.

** The short ''In the Interim...'' from Issue #4 features Epic battle-damaged, trident-wielding '''Spike''' riding Celestia in the middle of the fight against the giant Cockatrice attack. And he ends up saving everyone! A far cry from the ButtMonkey who usually sits out on most of the mane six's adventures. Issue 7 in the main story has this to Spike as well. However, in the 10th Anniversary Edition Short, where it's revealed Spike the comics in-universe, a StrawFan denounces the Cockatrice attack as a fabricated event.

* ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'': The Pre-Crisis Bizarro Green Lantern was a Bizarro duplicate of Hal Jordan who was a complete coward to contrast Hal Jordan's bravery and was unable to actually use his power ring because he couldn't use Hal's green power battery to recharge his ring (since his ring can't work on green objects in contrast to a Green Lantern power ring ordinarily having no effect on yellow objects) and declined Bizarro's offer to use the duplicator machine to create a yellow power battery. A modernized version of Bizarro Green Lantern would later appear in the "Escape from Bizarro World" arc of ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' before his ring would whisk him away to participate in the Sinestro Corps War unfolding in Geoff Johns' run on ''Green Lantern''. This Bizarro Hal Jordan isn't indicated to be cowardly and is able to use his power ring without any issue.
