Like, an otherwise BadassNormal swordsman whose TrainingFromHell and SupernaturalMartialArts grant him both a CharlesAtlasSuperpower version of a low-grade FlyingBrick package and the ability to throw \\\"low-level\\\" KiAttacks (i.e. no spamming building-busting {{Kamehame Hadoken}}s with impunity), and yet they still manage to be much more dangerous in a fight than gigantic monsters capable of laying waste to whole city blocks with ease and tanking several tactical nukes?
