* ''AudioPlay/JanTenner'': When Thol challenges him to an honorable duel over leadership of the Dark Empire, Logar takes off his ring, the source of his power without which he cannot use his magic. Still, the battle between the two turns out to be [[CurbStompBattle very one-sided in his favor]].

* In ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters XI'', VillainProtagonist Ash Crimson gets the jump on [[Characters/TheKingOfFightersIoriYagami Iori Yagami]] after he succumbs to [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity The Riot of the Blood]] and becomes [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Orochi Iori]] (for those not in the loop, the {{seal|edEvilInACan}} on {{Orochi}} had been weakened in this [[StoryArc saga]]), trashing his teammates [[TheHero Kyo Kusanagi]] and [[TheHeart Shingo Yabuki]]. This leaves Iori without his trademark [[DeadlyUpgrade cursed]] [[PlayingWithFire purple fire]]. What does he decide to do? ''Slash the hell out of his foes with his [[WolverineClaws hands]]''. Unfortunately when this same thing happened to Chizuru Kagura in the previous game, she was hit ''hard'' by {{Chickification}}, being regulated to the sidelines and her confidence shaken. [[spoiler:Thanks to a CosmicRetcon due to a TemporalParadox-induced HeroicSacrifice by Ash in ''KOF XIII'', both Iori and Chizuru [[CantStayNormal regain their powers]].]]

* ''[[VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4 God of War (PS4):]]'' [[spoiler: At the game's climax, Baldur gets cut by Atreus' mistletoe arrowhead, removing the curses of immortality and invulnerability that his mother Freya had placed on him. He's still no less dangerous than he was before, retaining his godly strength and even being able to absorb the elements of Kratos' weapons. Even worse, he's no less AxCrazy or angry than before, and he still ''really'' wants to kill Freya, Kratos, and Atreus.]]

* Played for laughs in the ''WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim'' episode "Bring Me the Head of Earthworm Jim". Psycrow and Professor Monkey-For-A-Head successfully manage to replace the titular hero's super suit with a weak duplicate, leaving him with the strength of an ordinary person. Right after the professor points this out to Jim, the former gets tackled effortlessly, then corrects his statement into [[VerbalBackspace "an ordinary really big person"]].
