** In ''Series/KamenRiderFaiz'', the titular Rider's base form is essentially a MasterOfNone, with all of his stats being well-rounded, but still inferior to [[SuperiorSuccessor Kaixa]] and [[SuperPrototype Delta]]. However, when Faiz transforms into his [[SuperMode Blaster Mode]], all of his stats grow to eclipse his fellow Riders.

* Many of the stronger competitors in ''Series/RobotWars'' qualify:
** Chaos 2, a robot that brought many innovations to the show and the show's first double champion. Chaos 2 zipped around the arena at 20mph and could flip a robot clean over the arena wall with a powerful [=CO2=]-powered flipper. Unfortunately the robot gradually became a FragileSpeedster as time went on, as its polycarbonate and titanium armour became outmoded and self-employed team captain George Francis couldn't afford to upgrade it.
** Razer, [[InvincibleHero with 40 wins and 6 losses]] and multiple titles, [[RuleOfCool including Best Design Award three times]]. Its 12mph speed meant it was decently zippy and its hydraulic crushing beak capable of [[ArmourPiercingAttack impaling through any armour]] made it one of the deadliest robots on the show.
** Terrorhurtz, with a devastating pneumatic axe and noteworthy maneuverability. It got upgraded for the later reboot with stronger armour and a bigger power box, qualifying it for this trope even more. Too bad it was BornUnlucky.
** Thor in the reboot series is lighting quick like its namesake, capable of an eye-watering 30mph, and its hammer hits pretty hard too.
** Behemoth, the oldest fighting robot ''in the world'', competing since 1998. Originally a "mere" MightyGlacier with very strong armour and enough pushing power to tow a Land Rover but a measly top speed of 6mph, for the reboot series Behemoth has been upgraded to go 15mph and is just as powerful as ever.
** Bigger Brother. Arose from inauspicious beginnings to dethrone reigning champions Chaos 2, overcame Hypnodisc and claimed runner-up spot behind Razer for Series 5, 20 wins to 11 losses. Decently fast at 12mph, very well armoured with a thick cobalt titanium rear plate taken from a [=MiG=], and a flipper capable of tossing its first two opponents straight out of the arena.



* Gannicus from ''Series/{{Spartacus}}'' fits this. He's one of the smaller characters, prone to bouncing around everywhere, but it takes and incredible amount of damage to knock him down and is shown to be surprisingly strong.

* In ''Series/TheMandalorian'' the titular BountyHunter [[spoiler: aka Din Djarin]] himself is an absolute beast in battle. Besides his blaster shooting, Mando can tear through armies of Bounty Hunters, Imperials, Droids and alien monsters at inhuman speeds and soak up enemy fire with his [[FantasyMetals Beskar]] armour (and even before and after getting the armour, Mando could still [[MadeOfIron survive an astonishing amount of pain]]). He's also got some impressive [[SuperReflexes reflexes]] blocking multiple [[DualWielding duel]] Lightsaber strikes from Jedi Master [[spoiler: Ahsoka Tano herself]]. And all this without taking his JetPack into account.

* ''Series/TheWitcher'': Geralt of Rivia [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uXBNoOfk6QA embodies this]] being pretty much a Cohan-esque MookHorrorShow in the majority of his fights who can shrug off most wounds and deflect crossbow bolts out of the air. With [[SuperSerum potions]] Geralt can hold his own against monsters like the Kikimora and Striga who are even stronger, faster and tougher than he is.

With [[SuperSerum potions]] Geralt can hold his own against monsters like the Kikimora and Striga who are even stronger, faster and tougher than he is. For added comparison, in the first adaptation, ''Series/TheHexer'', Geralt is lean and mostly uses momentum of his enemies against them, staying close to the source material with MusclesAreMeaningless.
