* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'''s ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger'': This series features a 9-year-old that became the Kiba Ranger with the same circumstances. His living sword speaks for him while he is hiding his identity from the other Dairangers.
* Justin in ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'', mostly as a result of the suit-actor being the same age as the rest of the suit-actors, while the character actor was about [[DawsonCasting half the age of the other character actors]], with no actual in-story handwave. He even shifted back to twelve-year-old size when he removed his helmet. (We never saw that happen directly, sadly. When the Rangers would be suited but unhelmeted around the base, Justin would be wearing a kid-sized suit, all size-shifting happening offscreen.)
* In ''Series/{{Smallville}},'' an enchanted comic book turned a boy into an adult superhero. Chloe seemed semi-interested in him (with a FlightOfRomance, no less) until she found out he was really about ten years old. [[spoiler: Turns out, though, that the comic wasn't about a hero, but a villain's StartOfDarkness, and the kid was cursed to go AxCrazy the moment he felt betrayal.]]

(Note the only the ''Dairanger'' example has to get around adult-sized heroes sounding like kids. Even people who know the kids and meet the heroes don't ever say a word about the voice thing.
