This thing is riddled with normal Idiot Ball examples. I suspect that this is due to the fact that idiot ball is about stupidity being induced to service the plot and this is actually about specifically forgetting some highly useful abilities or powers (cf. nearly all superheroes at some point).
I have removed faulty examples and started up a troper repair shop discussion. I will place bad examples here to be studied
Idiot Ball examples- Live Action TV
Idiot Ball-Video Games
Western Animation
Manga & Anime
Comic Books
Film
Literature
