** The show's fourth season would prove to be the first adaptation not specifically focused on Superman in which the heroes of the DC universe encounter major Superman adversary [[KneelBeforeZod General Dru-Zod]]. Although Superman can overpower him eventually, with some difficulty, his overall threat level (think Superman if he didn't hold back and was willing to kill enemies) makes him a more powerful antagonist for other heroes who do not typically encounter Kryptonians. To compensate, [[spoiler:the season builds him up as a threat by focusing more on his teenage son Lor-Zod traveling through time to orchestrate the defeat of his enemies and attempt to free his family]]. Even then, [[spoiler:when Dru-Zod and his wife Ursa, later joined by Faora Hu-Ul and Non, finally do get out in the final three episodes of the season, they arrive on Earth hours before sunrise, giving them minimal exposure to Earth's sun. Ursa gets around this handicap by bonding with the Eye of Ekron to become Emerald Empress, but Zod, Faora, and Non get no such benefits, forcing them to fight Superman and the Team while not at full strength (notably, Non can be overpowered by the [[BadassNormal non-powered]] Nightwing and Tigress because of this). On the other hand, while Lor-Zod is at full strength, he receives a different handicap in that his powers are instead weakened by his age, evening out the drawbacks against his family, which also played a part in him being more of a manipulator who used a Time Sphere in earlier episodes to covertly deal with his enemies, and only finally started getting into fights as he got closer to winning]].

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', throughout its run, had to address this when it came to Kryptonians.
** Even accounting for the fact that a pure Kryptonian in this continuity cannot [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace breathe in space]] and has no [[BreathWeapon breath-related attacks]], the presence of Superboy among the main cast had to be mitigated by explaining that due to being half-Kryptonian, he doesn't get all the known Kryptonian powers. A storyline in the first season saw him receive an item to mitigate this and unlock his full powerset, but it made him much more agitated, and he eventually burned through all of them. Drama is therefore maintained by Superboy needing to use the few powers he still has strategically, rather than directly overpowering his enemies.

* Taking after other movies that use this plot point to deal with a major character simply flying, ''WesternAnimation/DuckDuckGoose'' sees main character Peng break his wing, leaving him flightless and forcing him to team up with the ducklings he separated from their flock.

* The plot of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueVsTheFatalFive'' could have been resolved much earlier had Star Boy remembered to take his schizophrenia medication prior to pursing the escaped villains through time. By forgetting to take his medication (which he cannot replenish as it has not been invented in the present day), he ends up being locked into Arkham for a while until the villains he was pursuing resurface, and even then it is not until Miss Martian looks into his mind that the full picture of who the League is up against is assembled.

This is because Marv Wolfman notoriously found Kid Flash's speed powers difficult to write without making the rest of the team look useless. ''ComicBook/TitansRebirth'', written when the character had now grown up, become a version of Flash himself, and had become much faster and more powerful, had to also deal with writing around his powerset, such as having the first storyline feature his enemy Abra Kadabra intentionally trying to have him run himself into the Speed Force, or him developing a heart condition that required a pacemaker (thus running the risk of his heart stopping in the field).
