Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': Monstrous or abnormal appearance makes an individual weaker.
* '''Straight''': Emperor Evulz, formerly a powerful foe, becomes a ClippedWingAngel when he tries to power up.
* '''Exaggerated''': Emperor Evulz, once certifiably godlike, becomes weak enough that even the TagalongKid can hurt him.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Emperor Evulz merely gains a weakness instead of becoming outright weaker.
** Emperor Evulz is only slightly weaker than before.
** Emperor Evulz lost a more minor ability, with the others intact.
* '''Justified''':
** Evulz's new form is incompatible with some of his skills, depriving him of them.
** Evulz doesn't [[HowDoIShotWeb ''know'']] how to fight after transforming.
** The environment isn't helpful for Evulz to be fighting in, such as spaces being too cramped.
** Evulz' new form wasn't meant for prolonged existence and/or the reasons he uses it.
** Evulz went insane turning into a monster, thus incapable of intelligently fighting.
** Evulz' new anatomy is ripe for exploitation, such as his horns getting stuck or being pinned by his tail.
** Evulz doesn't understand humanity, and thus can't use their own weaknesses against them.
* '''Inverted''':
** Evulz becomes [[OneWingedAngel stronger]] by assuming a monstrous form.
** Hiro's humanity and normalcy makes him weaker.
* '''Subverted''': Emperor Evulz seems to be weaker given his [[BodyHorror appearance]], but ends up [[LightningBruiser hitting harder]] than before.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...Except it turns out Evulz appearance ''is'' harmful to him, his newfound speed and power ending up tearing him apart.
* '''Parodied''': Emperor Evulz, formerly ''the'' strongest being in all the Omniverse, ends up immediately dying upon transforming because he can't handle any passive elements of reality. Thus he's instantly collapsed under his weight, compressed into a two-dimensional form, practically [[LudicrousGibs explodes]], his scattered pieces horrifically irradiated, etc.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Emperor Evulz seems to be weaker upon transforming, but his monstrous form gives him new abilities... Which aren't good enough to cover the weakest. Until he trains with them, but he still doesn't reach his old power level- Until he transforms ''again'' into a [[LightIsNotGood luminous being]] but even then...
* '''Averted''': While monsters and abnormality may be weaker than humans, being a monster or abnormal ''in general'' doesn't make you weak.
* '''Enforced''': "We need to emphasis that HumansAreSpecial so... Let's have Evulz become weaker by turning monstrous!"
* '''Lampshaded''': "Huh, weird... Figured transforming into a monstrous beast would make you ''stronger''..."
* '''Invoked''': [[DeathSeeker Emperor Evulz]], sick of existing, takes on a monstrous form so Hiro will kill him.
* '''Exploited''': Evulz, wanting to keep his minions in line, threatens them with monstrosity so they'll obey out of fear.
* '''Defied''':
** Emperor Evulz does everything he can to prevent turning into a monster.
** Evulz carefully spends a lot of time working out a monstrous upgrade that actually ''will'' make him stronger.
* '''Discussed''': "So what ''is'' the deal with monsters being weaker than humans anyways? You think some of them would be surprisingly strong..." "Well, most likely their [[BlueAndOrangeMorality moral system]] is too different or their bodies being incompatible with human skills."
* '''Conversed''': "Humans are actually pretty weak themselves, so why are we trying to convince people ''not'' to improve upon the base design?" "Well, its less being monstrous itself, and more how it robs them of potential possibilities. After all, a towering wolfman isn't going to be accepted amongst an all-human village, or possess the ability to use his clawed hands peacefully."
* '''Implied''': Evulz, beaten plenty of times as a human, seems to get beaten the fastest as a monster yet ''why'' is uncertain as Hiro has gotten stronger himself.
* '''Deconstructed''': Monsters end up as an endangered species because of their inferiority, causing them to hatefully fear humanity.
* '''Reconstructed''': The monsters, recognizing their weakness, interbreed among [[HeinzHybrid themselves]] and [[HalfHumanHybrid humans]] to save their species in some form. Those that lean too much on their monstrous nature or a single one however end up easily defeated.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Evulz, upon transforming into a monster, finds himself uncontrollably and randomly hiccupping.
* '''Played For Drama''': Evulz's lifespan is greatly endangered becoming a monster, ''forcing'' him to act less human to preserve his own life.
