Is there a trope where a "powerful" bad guy is introduced solely to get beaten and highlight the power of someone else? Some bit part bad guy is introduced but he is quickly beaten. I vaguely remember in the Spiderman (?) comics that there was a powerful wrestler introduced, but Spiderman defeated him to show how powerful Spiderman really was.
