Probably because, as a few instances have shown, if not for those handicaps, failure would no longer be the only option.
** When Fighter had to face his "demon", it was Sloth, as while Fighter was the greatest swordsman in the world, his sloth had caused him to completely neglect ANY effort that could have made him less staggeringly dumb. He killed the demon in a single panel, apparently his two brain cells rubbed together and he realized just killing the demon would be faster than talking to it.
** Black Mage once took over Hell, an act that caused White Mage to feel a disturbance in the force, as if a million voices cried out to say, "Oh shit."
*** Later, when Black Mage is facing HIS demon, it turns out to be himself, because nothing is more evil than he is. He absorbs it and its power.
*** Much hopeless bungling later, Black Mage and Fighter decide to get dangerous at each other. It initially ends in a stalemate because, as Black Mage points out, he is basically a demi-god at that point, and Fighter is capable of blocking any attack. [[spoiler:[[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Black Mage uses his surrender as an opportunity to literally backstab Fighter, pointing out that Fighter can only block attacks he sees coming.]]]]
*** Later, Fighter has another brief moment of higher thought, and stuns the entire party by preventing them from dying from an extremely long fall by covering them from "attack" and blocking the "attacking" ground.

And as [[http://www.misfile.com/?date=2008-05-08 this]] comic shows, it is important to remember that ALL angels in this series are ancient supernatural beings.
* In the penultimate storyline of ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'', Artie protests that he's not a hero, he's "a fuzzy little animal who talks too much! I'm the '''comic relief'''!", but winds up saving the day anyway. In the same story, Helen has a Let's Get Dangerous moment when she says "To survive this, I'll need to think fast and hard. I won't have the energy to maintain my chipper, reassuring persona. I'll be fully myself, and I advise you to stay out of my way." Since "reassuring" Helen is plenty dangerous at the best of times, Artie is suitably terrified.
* In ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'', Saitama's very rarely given a very real fight, but when he comes up against someone who just might, he'll bust out what he calls his "Serious Series" attacks. Most fights tend to end with just one of them. His battle with Garou lets him pull off ''two''.

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'':
** The reverend is generallysilly, playful, a pretty passive guy, but he's also a good swordsman. He nails a trained nonhuman soldier to the wall [[spoiler: by the soldier's ''eye''. Don't worry, the eyes were on stalks.]]
** Lots of the Toughs are this, actually, especially the title character. Judging from his behavior most of the time, you would judge that he's an excessively violent blob who [[EatsBabies eats kittens]] andwilling to give primarily remains Sergeant because he is/was a majority shareholder in the heroes their due, is ''not'' the kind company. In reality, he's a violent blob with a strong (albeit [[BlueAndOrangeMorality unusual]]) moral compass who will immediately drop his usual happy attitude in favor of person you want to make a true enemy of. When precision when the situation is truly vital, he becomes a killing machine. [[spoiler: So do calls for it.
