Except that they\'re scaled down for completely different reasons. Jessica\'s powersare scaled down for one reason relating to the adaptation: Her flight and other flashy powers would have worked poorly in a low budget, resulting in either very shoddy effects or scenes where she didn\'t use her powers when she could have. That is the PragmaticAdaptation trope: Making a change to a work that is required by the adaptation. This change ALSO meant that they could put more drama into the series by making her less powerful and therefore at greater risk to the dangers she encounters, and I certainly do feel that that works well and is a good change, but that part of the change is NOT the PragmaticAdaptation trope, that\'s just \'a change.\'

None of Luke\'s changes had to do with the medium adaptation, they are solely story changes to fit the desired plot. It would not have stretched the budget to have him be more-invulnerable, nor would the effect somehow not have worked visually, since his internal invelnerability does not need more work than just the surface. The change was solely to fit the plot and story they wanted to write, it was not in any way required by the change from comic to TV medium. Again, I think it WORKS, it\'s a good adaptation, but it\'s not the PragmaticAdaptation trope.
