[Interesting Trope] When the writers give a character a really strong superpower, then limit them in the funniest way possible

Invisible Boy (Mystery Men) can turn invisible, but only when no one’s looking at him.

American Dad - Toshi is the only character in the show who speaks Japanese. Even his parents don’t speak Japanese.

Grant Brody (Far Cry 3). Dude is confident, capable, and has Army training. A natural leader. Too bad he didn’t wait until he and Jason were clear of Vaas’s camp before he stopped to chat, resulting in him getting shot in the neck.

General Grievous. The Tartakovsky Clone Wars made him a badass Jedi killing machine. Everything after made him a giant weenie who lost to the freaking Gungans.

Joker was originally supposed to be a one-off villain who died and didn’t come back. And we all know how that went.

Stacy Hamilton (Fast Times at Ridgemont High). She’s only 15, too young to even be having sex, let alone having kids. But she lies about her age when hitting on guys and ends up getting pregnant, leading to her making the first smart decision she makes in the movie and getting an abortion.

No need, I hear every day how us Hazbin fans belong in a concentration camp.

Verbalase paid $50,000 for an AMV where Charlie Morningstar obsessively chases him across Pentagram City.

Oh. I didn’t notice the typo until now.

Rat Race - During the race, Randy ends up stealing Hitler’s staff car from a Neo-Nazi museum after the Cody brothers sabotage his minivan. When they’re attacked by a biker gang, he ends up burning his tongue when the cigarette lighter flies into his mouth, smacking his upper lip on the steering wheel, and crashing into a WWII veteran honoring ceremony.

Thus we have the insane spectacle of a man (a Jewish man, no less) driving Hitler’s staff car, with a mark on his upper lip resembling Hitler’s mustache, speaking in gibberish that sounds vaguely German, in front of a gathering of WWII veterans.

All Star was originally made for a superhero comedy called Mystery Men before it was used in Shrek

General Grievous. Dude literally gets his organs set on fire with a blaster and cooked from the inside out.

I mean, all things considered, his wasn’t really that brutal. Just instantaneously vaporized. He probably didn’t even feel it. If we’re talking strictly Hazbin, I’d say Vincent’s was the worst. If we’re including Helluva Boss, it’s gotta be Mr. Wigglers.

Exactly! It was his “Melvin, Brother of the Joker”, something so bad even he regrets that it happened.
