It's become too troublesome to keep all characters relevant to all fight scenes (actors too expensive, sheer writing convenience etc.), so some of them fall behind so they can stop showing up all the time.
* '''Lampshaded''':???
"Let's face it, I could train for a century and I'm still not going to be able to punch boulders in half like our friend does."
* '''Invoked''':???
The hero's snivelling cowardly 'ally' jumps on a reason not to have to fight anymore - he's just not going to be able to make that much impact, you know?
* '''Exploited''':???
A villain who is tracking the hero's exploits in secret waits before showing himself, because while the hero may be stronger at that point his allies will have fallen behind and the villain will only have to fight two people rather than five.

The hero's allies, realising that their friend is pulling ahead, go for intensive training and emerge with a CharlesAtlasSuperpower. LookWhatICanDoNow!
