* This is the weakness of Phobia and Nausea, the Sisters of Death, in ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'': If you don't believe they can hurt you, they can't hurt you. They're ''very, very good'' at scaring people so badly that they'll readily believe the Sisters can hurt them, though.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePagemaster'': Averted. As Richard held his ground, slashing away with his sword and shield, the dragon whipped its tail around and snared the boy. His sword and shield fell to the ground as the powerful tail lifted him into the air. Richard stares down his nemesis, saying "I'm not scared of you!" But then Richard screams as the dragon flips him into the air and, in one large gulp, swallowed him whole. Fortunately, it had also swallowed a copy of ''Literature/JackAndTheBeanstalk'', which lets Richard summon the titular beanstalk and ride it out of the dragon's mouth.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'', underneath his heroic bravado, despite being a fully-trained hero, Hercules can still be shown as being afraid in some of the battles. In the film, Hercules boldly faces Nessus, the first monster he encounters, only to be slightly afraid when the centaur towers over the trained hero. Shortly afterwards, Hercules bravely fights a fierce Hydra, a tremendous monster that scares a crowd of Thebans, and even his hero trainer Phil, only for the young hero to [[TheScream scream]] as he falls into the beast's mouth before being swallowed whole in a single gulp, sword and all. Even after battling multiple heads, Hercules [[OverlyLongScream screams again in terror]] as he falls right into the Hydra's swarm of heads and slides down a spiral of one of the monster's long necks.



* Several examples in ''WesternAnimation/HerculesTheAnimatedSeries'', sometimes in subversion due to how the young hero-in-training is outmatched by the foes he faces. In "Hercules and the Son of Poseidon", when Hercules boldly confronts a three-headed sea serpent, only to be nervous after seeing the monster up close.

In "Hercules and the Tiff on Olympus" Phil suggests that Herc fights the Man-eating mares, only for the young hero to be afraid due to being outmatched. In "Hercules and the Long Nightmare", Hercules had a dream of his adult and teenaged self being attacked by a three-headed Hydra. When Morpheus asks for Hercules's help against Phantasos, Hercules mentioned how the Hydra was "as scary as they come". Both Hercules and Phil face Phantasos, who transforms into the Hydra. Though afraid, Hercules overcame his fear, and bravely defeats the monster. After stopping Phantasos, Hercules told Morpheus that because of the dreams, he wouldn't be afraid if he ever faced a real Hydra, that tackling it in his dreams made it less frightening.


Added DiffLines:

**Tempest was portrayed as a character who was never afraid. However, in "Hercules and the Girdle of Hippolyte", Tempest was visibly afraid when she almost fell into a pit full of snakes.

** Although the phrase "If you're not afraid, it can't hurt you" seems to be a team {{catchphrase}}, as it turns up again in later episodes, notably ''The Halloween Door''.
