Line 6: * The powers [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?\|don't directly apply to combat]], such as [[Telepathy]], [[Talking to Animals]], and [[X-Ray Vision]]. However, they may have [[Heart Is an Awesome Power\|indirect uses for assisting]]. Or they do upgrade his natural fighting abilities, but only moderately beyond normal human limits, without anything fantastic such as flight. He has an advantage against the [[Mooks]], but only if he stays on his toes and fights smart. * The character has been [[Blessed with Suck]]. His powers can easily wipe the floor with most [[~~Mook\|mooks~~mook]]s but are very difficult to use safely, such as having uncontrollable [[Splash Damage]], being [[Cast From Hit Points]], or [[Magic Is a Monster Magnet\|attracting even more enemies]]. Or they're very unreliable, either randomly failing to activate (or subject to [[Magic Misfire~~\|Magic Misfires~~]]s) or governed by rules he [[How Do I Shot Web?\|hasn't figured out yet]]. In either case, he'd rather use mundane methods than chance it. * The character is [[Willfully Weak]]. He's either a [[Blood Knight]] who has more fun with [[Good Old Fisticuffs]], or a [[Smug Snake]] that can beat you [[With My Hands Tied\|with his powers tied behind his back]]. Both are more likely to pull out the big guns for a [[Worthy Opponent]]. Line 14: Compare [[Boxing Lessons for Superman]], where trained fighting is an optional extra the character takes to help with extreme circumstances; and [[Guile Hero]], where he prefers trickery to outright confrontation. This trope can overlap with [[Badass Abnormal]], if the character still needs to mostly rely on previous fighting skills post-upgrade. '''NOTE:''' A [[De-Power\|De-powered]] character such as a [[Henshin Hero]] only counts if he can voluntarily switch them on and off at will and keeps them shut off most of the time, in which case he's [[Willfully Weak]]. The character must have a choice whether or not to (try to) utilize his powers to qualify for this trope. Also, if everyone in his universe has or can potentially learn powers, nobody really has "super powers" ~~-- he~~—he's just that universe's version of a [[Handicapped Badass]] or [[Willfully Weak]] [[Badass Normal]]. ---- === This trope fought its way into these works the old-fashioned way, because its [[Wiki Magic]] was just [[Too Awesome to Use]]: === == [[Anime and Manga]] ==
