Brought Down to Badass	comment	The world of superheroes has all types. Some gain their powers through Training from Hell and gain Charles Atlas Superpowers, while others get them from some form of Applied Phlebotinum. Trouble is, most heroes with the latter form have an Achilles' Heel of some kind; it could be a Weaksauce Weakness, some Kryptonite Factor, or a Power Nullifier, that can rob them of their powers. When this happens, these heroes are left utterly useless, as their entire hero status rested on those powers. But sometimes, we will run across a hero who can still dish it out when their powers are gone. Basically, they have been Brought Down to Normal, but they aren't useless or helpless. These heroes (or villains) may be Crazy-Prepared and trained in non-powered fighting in case of such an occasion. Or, they may have gotten their powers after learning five forms of martial arts. Or, maybe they just plain didn't use their powers to kick ass anyway, or just used their powers to enhance their already formidable fighting skills. Or, they're just that badass that they don't need powers to kick you into next week. To qualify, a character must have had powers at one point, must lose them, and must still kick butt without them. If the character's powers have been changed or reduced, but they still have powers, it's not this trope (but it might be Fights Like a Normal). Sometimes a character's powers also forced them to act rather conservatively (or handed them an Idiot Ball) to balance things out, but once powerless they start fighting in a smarter way - and can stop holding back. This is the opposite of Empowered Badass Normal, although it can be a result of such a thing being reversed. See Badass Normal for those who never had powers to begin with. Compare with Got the Call on Speed Dial or Power Loss Makes You Strong.

Brought Down to Badass / int_13679a09	comment	In Ward, main character Antares is a Flying Brick who has a forcefield that, while brittle, lends her invulnerability while active and also grants her super strength. However, for years following her power-related horrific mutilation in Worm, using her powers just reminds her of the worst part of her life. So, for about two years, she refrained from using them at all and instead trained in armed and unarmed close combat and firearms. This comes in handy when she later confronts Contender, an axe-wielding villain whose power traps opponents with him in a Pocket Dimension where superpowers don't work. She manages to overpower him in his own dimension with nothing but her armored costume, skill, and determination.

Brought Down to Badass / int_1576d725	comment	The J-WITCH Series: In "Tohru Who?", Valmont manages to steal the Heart of Kandrakar, robbing the W.I.T.C.H. girls of their Guardian forms and the bulk of their elemental magic. However, by this point they've all been training with Jackie extensively, so despite the lack of magic, they're all still more than capable of holding their own in a fight with the Dark Hand even before they get the Heart back. When Saint Nicholas has his magic stolen by Wong, he's still powerful enough to fight Krampus purely with muscle power. In "A Demon's Wings in the Witches' Town", Miranda manages to steal the Heart from Will at the start of the fighting. But despite not being able to enter their Guardian forms and take on their full power, the girls show once again that Jackie's training has paid off, as they handle themselves fairly well against the Knights of Vengeance until they manage to get the Heart back.

Brought Down to Badass / int_187d570b	comment	Devil May Cry 5: The game begins with Nero having his "Devil Bringer" arm stolen from him, robbing him of most of his demonic powers and the sword Yamato. Even so, Nero remains a force to be reckoned with, retaining his fighting skills and his first weapons, the supercharged sword Red Queen and the custom pistol Blue Rose. Additionally, his new friend and business partner Nico builds him deadly prosthetic arms called "Devil Breakers", each model having unique abilities inspired by the demons Nero fights throughout the game. One of them, the "Buster Arm", was actually based off the Devil Bringer itself (doubles as a Heartwarming Moment from Nico). At the end of the game, after discovering that Dante and Vergil are his biological family, his drive to prevent them from killing one another reignites Nero's powers in full, including granting him a complete Devil Trigger.

Brought Down to Badass / int_1a12bbee	comment	The Mighty Thor: Thor and The Incredible Hercules of the Marvel Universe have both had their godhood stripped away at times. Thor first did this in the late 60s-early 70s. Temporarily stripped of his powers by Odin, he still sought to fight for justice. At one point for some reason he had to go up against The Thing, who said "Even without yer powers, you ain't no pantywaist!" He replied that he was still himself, powers or no powers. It happened again in the late nineties, where he proved to be just as capable a fighter as Captain America. Hercules burned out all of his godly powers at the end of Chaos War, leaving him without any Super-Strength at all, but he still fights supervillains and criminals. He has access to some magical weaponry and is highly skilled at using it, but even then can barely keep up. Yet he still kicks butt.

Brought Down to Badass / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: At one point in Claremont's run, the X-Men wound up on Magneto's island fortress (with a volcano machine) and all depowered. It took Cyclops to point out that they are still very well-trained and athletic people with a wide and varied skillset; he is a skilled pilot and tactician, Storm was a thief and still carries lockpicks, Nightcrawler was an acrobat, Colossus is still very strong, Shadowcat is good with computers, and Wolverine still has his claws. Together they manage to wreck the doomsday device... and are still subdued in moments once Magneto realizes the X-Men are actually there. Storm went through a long stretch without her weather powers, but with a Mohawk, a new leather wardrobe, and a take-no-crud attitude that made her just as dangerous as she had been when she was slinging lightning bolts or throwing tornadoes. Though her powers came back, she still possesses remarkable hand-to-hand prowess when she needs to use it. While not all being as badass as Storm, most if not all of the X-Men receive hand-to-hand combat training in preparation just in case they are robbed of their gifts/their gifts are rendered ineffective by their enemies, especially the females. Cyclops has beyond military-level training over years of conditioning, and Jean Grey has demonstrated kung-fu skills (she aided Beast taking out armed attackers with psi-shielding at a period when her telekinesis was thought either dormant or transferred to Psylocke, who classifies as a ninja action girl with or without her powers). And every girl who becomes a follower of Wolverine is soon able to kick ass by default. Cyclops deserves particular mention: given that his powers can be a major liability, he has trained himself to fight blind if he loses his visor/glasses. He's also demonstrated that when depowered, he's just as good a shot with a gun as with his eye beams. (In fact, he's got near-Hawkeye-level Improbable Aiming Skills. And everybody refuses to ever play pool against him.) Prodigy of the Young Avengers (formerly from the New X-Men: Academy X) was one of the few people to stay at the academy after being depowered by the Decimation, and with good reason — he was given the gift of being able to remember everything he ever learned from people using his powers, making him an expert in multiple fields. Having spent lots of time around fighters like Wolverine and Cyclops, this includes martial arts and tactician training. When his powers went away, all the combat skills he'd already learned via those powers didn't. Wolverine is an interesting variation — when he lost his adamantium during Fatal Attractions, it also temporarily short-circuited his Healing Factor due to the damage done. While he was still a good fighter, he doubted his usefulness due to the fact he relied heavily on both. It took a 10-Minute Retirement and a Bat Family Crossover to really get him back in the game. Sunspot from the New Mutants loses his solar absorption powers as a result of contracting an illness from the Terrigen Mists. At the same time, he takes on a leadership position with the New Avengers and shows that without his powers he's still a genius chessmaster and a highly efficient fighter trained by both the X-Men and the Avengers. It's then revealed that he didn't actually lose his powers, but the illness instead put them in overdrive and made it too dangerous for him to use them. The villain Tarn the Uncaring is an Omega-level Arakki mutant who can rewrite his foesâ€™ bodies on a genetic level, reshaping them or cancelling powers. When he fights a formal duel in X-Men Red (2022), against Omega-level energy-manipulator Vulcan, they both try this tactic and are simultaneously Brought Down to Normal. Vulcan thinks this makes it a fair fight. Tarn, who's spent a thousand years fighting for his life in a world plagued by demons, easily beats him to death without using powers. Juggernaut has lost the powers Cyttorak granted him several times, usually when trying to turn good, but never the massive height or Muscles that came with it, so even at his weakest his strength far exceed that of a normal human.

Brought Down to Badass / int_1c9a08e9	comment	In the Tyranny of Dragons module, if the ritual to summon Tiamat isn't stopped outright, Tiamat will show up as the Final Boss. However, there are several things that the heroes can do to at least partially disrupt the summoning enough to weaken her, such as freeing the sacrifices or preventing her Dragon Hoard from reaching The Very Definitely Final Dungeon. Each of these things reduces Tiamat's maximum health by 75 points each and imposes other restrictions on her (like losing her immunity to most spells and reducing her Armor Class). Even with all of the restrictions in place, Tiamat is still far from an easy opponent, with hundreds of hit points and multiple powerful attacks. It's just that the penalties on Tiamat make the battle one the heroes can probably win as opposed to outright slaughter.

Brought Down to Badass / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: UryÅ« sacrifices his Quincy powers to defeat Mayuri Kurotsuchi, and is left as a normal human at the end of the Soul Society arc. He wasn't happy about it, but felt compelled by honor to do whatever it took to win. UryÅ«'s strangely capable of fighting Hollows even without his powers, but particularly potent Hollows, such as Menos Grande-level Hollows, would have killed him if not for his father's intervention. His father makes the decision to restore his powers accordingly. Since UryÅ« is Ichigo's Foil, this ends up Foreshadowing what happens to Ichigo at the end of the Arrancat arc: he sacrifices his powers in order to defeat Aizen, and spends the Time Skip before the Lost Agent Arc Brought Down To Badass, with only physical strength and reflexes to rely on. He can still wipe the floor with pretty much any normal human, and he does get his powers back by the end of the arc. During the battle in Fake Karakura, Aizen sends Wonderweiss Margela to take down Captain-Commander Yamamoto, because Wonderweiss was engineered specifically to seal away the flames of Yamamoto's immensely powerful zanpakutÅ� RyÅ«jin Jakka. While this leaves Yamamato unable to use his sword and its fire powers, the old man still has two fists. It's more than enough. During the Thousand-Year Blood War Arc, several Soul Reaper Captains have their Bankai stolen by the Vandenreich. After the Quincies are forced to retreat for the first time, in preparation for their next attack, the Captains all retrain their regular abilities to compensate. It allows them to keep up with the Quincies when they return until their Bankais are restored.

In the opening cutscene, he uses the Outsider's gift from the prior installment to fight off the initial group of guards until Delilah strips him of the Mark and turns him to stone. His playthrough without powers demonstrates how he earned his title of Royal Protector before the Empress's assassination: with his athleticism, stealth, swordsmanship, and various weapons/equipment. Then there's the mission "A Crack in the Slab", during which your powers don't work and instead you get something that lets you shift between two time periods. None of this is surprising, considering that you play the first mission each in Dishonored, Dishonored 2, and Dishonored: Death of the Outsider with no powers.

Brought Down to Badass / int_2212773a	comment	Angel: Wesley was shot and nearly killed after having taken the first of his multiple levels of badass, temporarily confining him to a wheelchair and making him useless in hand-to-hand combat, the basis of most of the show's action sequences. When faced with a demon in his weakened state, Wesley grabbed a shotgun and blew it away. He didn't forget about his handiness with guns after he recovered and occasionally used them thereafter. Angel robbed Jasmine of her magical influence over people, but she was still able to smack him around like a rag doll. Sahjahn actually considered it a favor when he was made corporeal because although it made it possible to kill him, it also allowed him to deal death and destruction himself, his love of which was the reason he was made incorporeal in the first place. The gang stripped Illyria of some of her power, leaving her still Badass enough to be a useful ally (stronger than most other vampires and demons), but not enough to wipe out half the city if the mood struck her.

The Intersect 2.0 allows the user to tap into fighting knowledge. Chuck lost the Intersect and his best friend Morgan got it. Morgan turned into a Jerkass and made a Faceâ€“Heel Turn. Chuck fights him and is easily a match for Morgan. With the corrupted Intersect out of Morgan's head, nobody has any version of it now. It hasn't stopped the team from being quite badass.

Brought Down to Badass / int_2675c915	comment	Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Professor Randolph is a retired Asgardian Berserker. Which means he is only a Really 700 Years Old superhuman with Super-Strength, is tough enough to crumple a combat knife bare-handed without injury, and has a Healing Factor. Skye gets this several times. In "S.O.S., Part 2" she spends half the episode with her hands locked in power-suppressing gauntlets, forcing her to rely on the fighting skills learned from May. During the "Agents of HYDRA" arc, Framework!Daisy had not undergone Terrigenesis, so Daisy couldn't quake her opponents, but she still had all of her combat training from the real world. Then May puts her through Terrigenesis in "No Regrets", giving Daisy her powers in the Framework. In Season 5, Daisy gets an inhibitor when she is captured by the Kree, meaning she can't quake the Kree she fights. So she resorts to using her bare hands to fight them.

It helps that they're often aided by their boyfriends, the Specialists, all of whom are trained as Badass Normals. In the climax of Season 1, Bloom's powers are stolen by the Trix to raise the Army of Darkness. Even without magic, she refuses to stay behind when her friends go to confront the Trix. When the Winx travel to Domino Castle, she proves effective as a strategist, helping the other Winx to coordinate their attacks. She even manages to kill some monsters on her own. With a stick. In Season 6, all the Winx, minus Bloom, have their powers stolen by the Legendarium. For a while, they have to fight without their magic, combating the monsters from the book in unconventional ways. They still manage to win their next few battles, gaining their new Bloomix forms in the process.

Brought Down to Badass / int_2894671c	comment	Guy Gardner thinks he's this, as was seen in the 1980s Justice League International series. He took off his Green Lantern ring to have a mano-a-mano showdown with Batman over leadership of the League. Batman knocked him out with one punch. (Guy's subsequent change of personalities came when he bumped his head while searching for his ring afterwards.) Batman (â„¢): so skilled that his punches cure brain damage. He also once goaded Hal Jordan into a no-rings-allowed fistfight. It didn't go quite as badly for him as the aforementioned encounter with Batman, but Hal was more than holding his own until the cops broke them up. Guy actually became this later on: During the events of Rise of the Third Army, he was in a jail cell without his ring. A cellmate tried to sexually harass Guy but was painfully knocked by an Offhand Backhand delivered by Guy.

Brought Down to Badass / int_2d644371	comment	Tales Series: Judas in Tales of Destiny 2 willingly decided to stop using Chaltier, thus no longer being considered a Swordian Master (in a world where you need some kind of Green Rocks to cast magic and a Swordian is powered by the purest version of said Green Rocks and was at a much lower level than he should be likely due to being dead for an undetermined period of time. He still taught himself how to dual-wield at least, before Leon's play style was retconned, learns two more magical proficiencies, and remained a hyper-competent Magic Knight. Jade Curtiss in Tales of the Abyss gets hit with the temporary version. He joins the party very early at a game-breaking level 45, with access to many high-level fonic artes. And then he's hit with a Power Limiter that brings him back down to level 1 and cuts you off from the majority of his spells. At around the same time, he briefly loses access to the Tartarus. But he's still Jade Curtiss the man so cool he doesn't even take his hand out of his pocket when casting spells, whose arm is magically fused with a spear, and who has to wear glasses just so his eyes don't make everything around him explode. Seriously. It gets better. Due to the Power Limiter nature of his glasses, Jade is essentially always in this state. He made the glasses specifically because he wanted to be this trope. You'd think he'd take his glasses off to deal with a big threat, right? Dragons, Mechs, the Six God Generals, and even a clone of his nigh-unstoppable teacher (who is herself the Optional Boss of the game) aren't enough to get him to take off his glasses. He's just that badass. It takes the Final Boss to make him stop playing around. At the beginning of Tales of Xillia, Milla (the human incarnation of the Lord of Spirits, Maxwell) loses most of her insane summoning power when the four elemental spirits are kidnapped by the bad guys. But she's still a Determinator of unbelievably epic proportions, and after Alvin teaches her a thing or two, she's a fair hand with a sword and a good mage to boot.

It worked on both Kurokami Maguro, dulling his analytical genius, and Kurokami Medaka, making her body and mind work nowhere near as "perfectly" as before. However, Medaka is still able to defend her friends from the modified human Koga Itami simply by being able to move "normally". Later, Kumagawa Misogi gives up his "All Fiction", a Minus Skill that turns anything into nothing (or rather, he gives up the Skill "Hundred Gauntlets" that he'd used as the foundation of "All Fiction"). As he can no longer undo his own injuries or death, the five successor candidates for Medaka assume that defeating him would be a walk in the part. Well, it was, but then one of them remembers that their leader Ajimu Najimi was keeping her eye on him since BEFORE he ever got "All Fiction". True to form, he gets right back up in spite of his wounded, defeated state and instantly binds them all with his trademark screws using his expert knowledge of "weak points". He even points out that it's merely their misconception that he ever relied on "All Fiction" to win at all.

In Scarlet Witch and the Thirteen Dwarves, Ultron has lost his drone army and is restricted to a single body that is weaker than the primary form he possessed in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but develops new skills after Sauron instructs him in magic.

Brought Down to Badass / int_4811a5a6	comment	Asura's Wrath: According to the developers, Asura has lost most of his godly power being sealed away for 12,000 years. Even without them, he slaughters mooks like they are nothing, can keep up and takes hits from Wyzen after growing over 60 meters tall, and when angry enough, stops Wyzen's Tennessee-sized finger in his planet-sized state and punches it and Wyzen into oblivion. There are a few times where Asura loses his arms completely as a result of some battle. Despite that, Asura fights on regardless, taking on Yasha and a Gohma Striker (putting up a decent fight in the former case and winning offscreen in the latter). The final battle against Chakravartin involves Asura getting knocked out of his shiny new Destructor form and reduced back to his normal form. Asura still keeps up with and eventually defeats Chakravartin once and for all.

Brought Down to Badass / int_4be3aedd	comment	Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Tommy can still kick ass after losing the Green Ranger powers the second time because he's a fourth-degree black belt. Power Rangers: Dino Thunder opens with a morpherless Tommy who hasn't donned spandex in years kicking the asses of a small army of Mooks to escape the Big Bad's island by diving into the sea (and presumably having to swim to shore unaided.) Use of this trope in Gosei Sentai Dairanger kept its footage from being used in the second season of MMPR, as the bulk of the series had unmorphed fights complete with unmorphed role calls. This happens too many times to list in the later Power Rangers seasons. This was done partially because they became less reliant on dubbing over Super Sentai footage as time went on. In the Grand Finale of Power Rangers Ninja Storm; the rangers lose their powers as the Big Bad Lothor gloats about his apparent victory. The rangers then promptly remind him they're still trained ninjas and proceed to kick his ass anyway. It's the only season where the final battle is with not the Zords, not the Ranger powers, but just the Rangers fighting as themselves (against the villain who'd stolen their powers, no less.) The Season 1 Finale of Power Rangers Dino Fury has the Rangers lose their powers (temporarily), and still manage to defeat Void Knight and his minions unmorphed. It's only after the fight that they get their powers back. Similarly, Power Rangers Cosmic Fury shows that the former Void Knight, Tarrick, is still completely capable of kicking butt after losing his powers.

In fact, she's lost her powers more than once and always remained an effective combatant afterward. After Rogue took her powers, she was a recurring ally of the X-Men while considered permanently depowered. The name "Ms. Marvel" scarcely came up; she was just Major Carol Danvers, ass-kicker extraordinaire, up for supervillain or space adventures alongside anyone in spandex. In an issue of X-Men long after Carol had parted ways with the team, Rogue gets depowered and is left practically catatonic after soldiers sexually assault her. That's when the Carol Danvers personality living inside her head (which Rogue absorbed along with Carol's powers) steps in. She proceeds to escape from prison and rescue the also depowered Wolverine. The two of them do very well throughout the story despite being on their own with no powers.

Brought Down to Badass / int_553051f	comment	Green Lantern: Guy Gardner thinks he's this, as was seen in the 1980s Justice League International series. He took off his Green Lantern ring to have a mano-a-mano showdown with Batman over leadership of the League. Batman knocked him out with one punch. (Guy's subsequent change of personalities came when he bumped his head while searching for his ring afterwards.) Batman (â„¢): so skilled that his punches cure brain damage. He also once goaded Hal Jordan into a no-rings-allowed fistfight. It didn't go quite as badly for him as the aforementioned encounter with Batman, but Hal was more than holding his own until the cops broke them up. Guy actually became this later on: During the events of Rise of the Third Army, he was in a jail cell without his ring. A cellmate tried to sexually harass Guy but was painfully knocked by an Offhand Backhand delivered by Guy. Kilowog is the combat instructor for the Green Lantern Corps, and one of the most powerful Lanterns ever to wear the ring. But take that ring away, and you're left with... well, a guy with the Super-Strength, training, and skills to fight Superman to a standstill. The plot of the Green Lantern mini-series from DC Future State involves all of the Green Lantern rings losing their power after the Central Battery on Oa dies. Even without superpowers, John Stewart is unwilling to give up on helping people, and so he forms a team consisting of other former Green Lanterns to continue fighting evil across the universe.

And back down in terror after Minako kicked one in a concrete pillar so hard to ''shatter the pillar's surface''. Youma and bodyguards alike understood why Minako complained of her bodyguards' weakness when the youma started defeating themâ€¦ In the same Special Act, we are shown that all the Sailor Soldiers are still badass: Rei attacked the Big Bad of the episode while without her Senshi powers and survived, albeit needing to be hospitalized; Ami resorted to Car Fu to beat up the low-level youma and escape one of the Big Bad Dragons; Makoto simply beat up a horde of Mooks; and Mamoru and Usagi (who was implied to be pregnant) quickly subdued a freakin' fake Shitennou each to cover each other's running away, with Mamoru later temporarily incapacitating all of the fake Shitennou.

Brought Down to Badass / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: In the Tyranny of Dragons module, if the ritual to summon Tiamat isn't stopped outright, Tiamat will show up as the Final Boss. However, there are several things that the heroes can do to at least partially disrupt the summoning enough to weaken her, such as freeing the sacrifices or preventing her Dragon Hoard from reaching The Very Definitely Final Dungeon. Each of these things reduces Tiamat's maximum health by 75 points each and imposes other restrictions on her (like losing her immunity to most spells and reducing her Armor Class). Even with all of the restrictions in place, Tiamat is still far from an easy opponent, with hundreds of hit points and multiple powerful attacks. It's just that the penalties on Tiamat make the battle one the heroes can probably win as opposed to outright slaughter. Wizards are well-advised to be careful how they use the Anti-Magic Shell spell. After all, while their own powers are completely negated by the spell, an enemy warrior's magic sword is still a sword, and a masterwork one at that. This happened to the gods Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul after their resurrection post-Time of Troubles. While Bane and, to a lesser degree, Bhaal maintained their divine portfolios, Myrkul did not, as his place as god of the dead was usurped by Cyric and later Kelemvor. Still, he's better off than he was when he was dead.

While his adamantium skeleton and multiple lifetimes of traumatic injury have rendered him superhumanly strong, tough, and resistant to pain, he's still left considerably weaker since his injuries accumulate rather than healing automatically. Downplayed with Deadpool in Deadpool 2. While in the Iceblock prison, he's fitted with a Power Nullifier collar that neutralizes his mutant power. He's still a mercenary with ten years in the Special Forces under his belt; however, he's also suffering from the generalized cancer that his Healing Factor was keeping at bay. He obviously doesn't have long to live in these conditions (which he welcomes). During the prison break, he's still able to fight off some inmates and to slow down Cable, preventing him from killing Russell, but he can't last long against the Cyborg Mutant from the future. Luckily for him, the collar gets busted after a spine-crushing fall.

The DVD Commentary mentions a funny story behind that: she decided Mai and Ty Lee would be her friends exactly because she'd be able to learn some of their abilities, and indeed the aforementioned scene does have her using some very Ty Lee-ish moves. Along with having a concealed bladed throwing weapon literally up her sleeve that could only be something she picked up from Mai. Same with Zuko — normally, he's an at least decent firebender (he beat Zhao in an Agni Kai early on with just the basics, and his skill notably improves over the course of the series), while Ozai is The Greatest Firebender in the World. But during the eclipse, Ozai is at his mercy because Zuko is a master swordsman while Ozai never bothered to learn non-firebending combat. Also, when Zuko has to hide his powers while traveling in the Earth Kingdom and as the Blue Spirit, he is still able to take on several bandits, match Jet in a fight, and break Aang out of a Fire Nation fortress. It runs in the family. His uncle Iroh is considered one of the only Firebenders capable of taking on Ozai. But, like the previous two, loses his powers on the Day of Black Sun. That's when he breaks out of the prison he's in and is still considered a One-Man Army!

She makes do until she learns how to use them at the last second by using fighting techniques similar to Karate against the puppet versions of the male team members.

As part of the deal, he was given vast demonic powers, including extreme pyrokinesis and command of Trigonâ€™s demon army. In the Season 3 finale, â€œThe Endâ€�, Trigon (predictably) reneges on the deal and strips Slade of his new powers. Even so, and even at the end of the world, Slade is still no less dangerous than he was before, being a Badass Normal par excellence. He retains his martial arts skills and saw fit to retrieve his old gadgets after he was resurrected. During the journey to save Raven, Slade keeps up with Robin in facing Trigonâ€™s army and later (single-handedly) destroys one of Trigonâ€™s strongest warriors to restore his own life completely.

Brought Down to Badass / int_8df5521b	comment	Superman: The main superhero lost his powers and just intimidated criminals by, y'know, being Superman at them. This was in the same arc where he became Electric Blue Superman. By now, Superman has so much experience suddenly losing his powers in the comics that he hardly breaks his stride, even when he's the only powerless person on a planet full of Kryptonians. In 52, he lost his powers again for just about exactly one year until Superman: Up, Up and Away!. He did retire from crime-fighting, but instead spent the time pulling off Intrepid Reporter tricks that even gave Lois herself gray hairs. For example: wanting to get an interview with Supernova, he jumped out of his office window, betting that Supernova would save him. In JLA Foreign Bodies, Superman demonstrated to supervillain Kobra that even without his powers and with his mind inside the villain's body, his fighting skills are more than enough to let him match and defeat him while Kobra is in Batman's body. In the bottled city of Kandor, Superman becomes, well, Batman, going by Nightwing (and yes, this is the inspiration for Dick Grayson choosing his new name.) Superman vs. Muhammad Ali: Superman was personally trained in boxing by no other than Muhammad Ali himself. All-Star Superman: Lex Luthor steals Superman's powers, and Supes is Brought Down to Normal. The result? Supes beats Luthor. With his brains, no less. At the end of The Death of Superman, when he really comes back, he has no powers, just his good ol' fists, and a bunch of automatic machine guns. He storms the Cyborg Superman's/Mongul's base just with that, keeping up with both the powered Superboy as well as Steel, a genius creator of some superweapons which were being used by criminals, and who made himself a suit of Powered Armor capable of keeping up with said superweapons. He does get his powers back at the end of the arc, of course (and more), but he was pretty badass in the meanwhile. Happens in Elseworlds story "Superman: Last Son of Earth". When Earth faces destruction, scientists Jonathan and Martha Kent send their infant son Clark off in a rocket, which eventually lands on Krypton, where he is found and adopted by Jor-El and Lara. Clark has extreme difficulties surviving with Krypton's greater gravity and red sun that saps his strength, until he encounters a dying alien who entrusts him with a ring, making him the new Green Lantern. He is eventually sent to investigate activities on Earth, which wasn't actually destroyed completely, but has suffered a post-apocalyptic collapse of civilization. When he lands in Metropolis, he is captured by Lex Luthor, who takes his ring and throws him in a cell with Lois Lane. Clark complains that without the ring he is powerless, and lashes out at the wall... smashing a hole. Growing up on Krypton does a body good, apparently. In the Who is Superwoman? storyline, Reactron nullifies Supergirl's powers, expecting an easy kill. He soon finds out the hard way that Kara was already a pretty good martial artist before leaving Krypton, and she has been trained by Wonder Woman and Batman since her arrival. In Action Comics #337, Supergirl gets stranded on an unknown planet where she's rendered powerless by its green sun. Even so, Kara uses her own smarts and resourcefulness to overcome every danger while finding a way to fix her ship. When Superboy (Kon-El) temporarily loses his powers he does not stop being a hero; he just uses gadgets instead. In Who Took the Super out of Superman?, Clark Kent has to bring an Intergang cell down despite being depowered at the time. So he gets in touch with a scientist, borrows an anti-gravity device, lets it loose in the Intergang's lair, and takes several mooks down using nothing but his fists and experience in moving around in zero-gravity environments.

By the time of the game a year later, he's bedridden, weak, and his right arm is permanently paralyzed because wielding the Monado's power took too much of a toll on him. Partway through the story, however, he joins the party anyway, wielding a regular sword left-handed. He can't take on an entire army of Mechon alone anymore, but he's still among the more useful party members in combat.

He manages to keep fighting this way for several minutes, buying the other heroes enough time to catch up, and by the time they arrive he has given Overhaul enough of a beating that he's more worried about him standing back up and beating him up again than the superpowered hero he's currently fighting.

They also discover they can still use Ouroboros, but considering they're separated by time-and-space in separate dimensions with no way to contact each other directly unless they're asleep, they can't use it on a whim since it could leave the other vulnerable at the worst moment and only for a limited time. To stop Lucky Seven from cutting through everything, including the Faced Mechon, Alvis had to tie its powers to that of the Monado. He turned it into essentially a second Monado to nerf it. As it turns out, Lucky Seven was always a Monado under a different name. While Shulk's Monado uses the power of Ontos, Noah's Lucky Seven uses the power of both Pneuma and Logos, the other parts of the Trinity Processor.

They are, per Vivec, able to exist with a trace of their divinity intact thanks to the faith of their followers. Each is still an extremely powerful, extremely old Magic Knight, especially proven by Almalexia when she is fought in the Tribunal expansion. In a manner of speaking, this is the case for Alduin in Skryim. As Alduin is embodiment of the end of the world itself, he can only manifest his full power when it is time to actually end the world, at which point he becomes a titanic monster with divine power beyond that of even the Daedric Princes. Anytime outside of that, however, he is "merely" an invincible dragon who needs a very specific realty-warping Thu'um Shout (Dragonrend) to even render him into a state where he can be hurt.

Brought Down to Badass / int_b4996199	comment	Spider-Man: Spider-Man lost his powers once or twice, notably in the '70s; when tricked to drink a potion that nullified his spider-powers, he manages to burst out of several lengths of rope tying him up on a chair by flexing his muscles and getting pissed off — looks like playing superhero daily helps build up upper body strength. On top of that, he remains a skilled chemist and physicist, good enough to show up the likes of Reed Richards, Doctor Doom, and Tony Stark. He has, more than once, used his intellect to escape baddies while preserving his secret identity. There was, notably, a time when Spidey had his Spider-Sense burnt out, making him vulnerable to just about anything. He ended up getting help from Shang-Chi, who developed a brand new martial art, the Way of the Spider, to compensate.

Brought Down to Badass / int_c62995ba	comment	In Child of the Storm, Thor loses Mjolnir at a couple of points. However, he's still a Physical God with Super-Strength and 1,500 years of combat experience. How does he prove this? He gets angry and puts a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown on the Juggernaut. Also, it doesn't hurt that while Mjolnir can store energy, and allows him to manipulate the weather more precisely, he can still use his Shock and Awe powers without it. Harry has his Psychic Powers (which are very strong, and which he's come to heavily rely on) blocked at a couple of points in the second book, Ghosts of the Past — or rather, he can't use them on anything he can't touch. However, this still leaves him as a notch or two above a normal human, a highly trained martial artist with an unusual tolerance for pain, and, oh yes... he's still an exceptionally powerful (if still inexperienced) wizard. And that's before he learns how to turn them inwards, and mimic Flying Brick powers.

However, since both these incarnations are human, Clark is a Badass Normal for the majority of the episode, easily capable of beating up multiple opponents without his powers.

In Season 3's "Helpless," Giles is forced to strip Buffy of her powers using powerful mixtures of adrenaline suppressors and muscle relaxers as part of her Cruciamentum, a rite of passage to test the Slayer's intellect and wit. Buffy comes out on top against Kralik, the Ax-Crazy vampire the Council set her up against, by exploiting his dependency on anti-psychotic pills, swapping the water he drinks with them with holy water.

She gets her powers from her super-suit, but it tears easily, and she loses power the more Clothing Damage she incurs. However, when her suit is intact, she's usually trying to use its powers, which are flaky at best even when it's in perfect condition. Once it's damaged, however, she's usually forced to get creative... and she can be stunningly clever when she's backed into a corner, which, combined with the fact that nobody takes her seriously, can often leave the perpetually-unlucky superheroine just the opening she needs to pull through in even the worst of situations.

Come the beginning of Heart of the Swarm, while she can still control Zerg, she is quite capable of kicking ass without their help, as she was one of the most powerful ghost troops prior to infestation. In the very first level, she single-handedly destroys a Humongous Mecha with her psionic abilities alone. Similarly, Raynor is able to go toe-to-toe with Tychus, while the latter was the only one wearing power armor.

He joins the party very early at a game-breaking level 45, with access to many high-level fonic artes. And then he's hit with a Power Limiter that brings him back down to level 1 and cuts you off from the majority of his spells. At around the same time, he briefly loses access to the Tartarus. But he's still Jade Curtiss the man so cool he doesn't even take his hand out of his pocket when casting spells, whose arm is magically fused with a spear, and who has to wear glasses just so his eyes don't make everything around him explode. Seriously. It gets better. Due to the Power Limiter nature of his glasses, Jade is essentially always in this state. He made the glasses specifically because he wanted to be this trope. You'd think he'd take his glasses off to deal with a big threat, right? Dragons, Mechs, the Six God Generals, and even a clone of his nigh-unstoppable teacher (who is herself the Optional Boss of the game) aren't enough to get him to take off his glasses. He's just that badass. It takes the Final Boss to make him stop playing around.

Brought Down to Badass / int_f10a65b	comment	The current page quote comes from Legends of Tomorrow. Ray lost his suit to Tokugawa and ended up being forced to help his teammates destroy it, feeling completely useless without it because he relied on it in their fights. Amaya, on the other hand, amplified her impressive normal fighting skills with her animal abilities (usually "gorilla strength"), so losing the amulet isn't too much of a problem for her. Ultimately ended up being Double Subverted because Ray, wearing only samurai armor, could hold his own in a swordfight against Tokugawa wearing his suit (though only using it as a Powered Armor and not to the full extent of its abilities). Played straight in Season 3, when Amaya herself does briefly lose her amulet to Nora Dhark, and does indeed manage to fight well without it.

Brought Down to Badass / int_f4abd380	comment	In BlazBlue, this trope applies to all members of The Six Heroes to some extent. Hakumen was once one of the world's most powerful beings, so much so that the only being implied to be around his level still said Hakumen was the sole reason why they managed to slay the Black Beast. After he was imprisoned in the Boundary for 90 years, the one who salvaged him could only get 20% of his existence out of there. However, 20% of Hakumen's former full power turns out to be several levels above what most characters can handle, as he is able to hand Ragna's ass to him with ease. Valkenhayn R. Hellsing and Jubei were both badasses extraordinaire in their prime when they fought the Black Beast, but you can't fight old age and 90 additional years have definitely weakened their bodies. They can both tear the more youthful characters of the game a new one with ease, though, and Jubei is still regarded as the World's Strongest Man. Trinity Glassfield hasn't been quite as lucky: After being manipulated, betrayed, shanked, and thrown into a Cauldron by Terumi, she lost her body and her soul was sealed into the Nox Nyctores, Muchourin. Right now her soul resides in the body of Platinum the Trinity, the resident Token Mini-Moe and she still plays a key role in the battle against evil. Konoe "Nine" A. Mercury's fate was a bit more ambiguous; after getting caught up in Terumi's shaking of Trinity she had been presumed dead but was revealed to have been resurrected and turned into Terumi's cohort, Phantom, who had to be reduced to a plot device and glorified transportation service due to her Story Breaker Powers. However, she regains control over herself and her full powers come Central Fiction and casually sets out with a plan of her own: To create a new capital-G God. And as for Yuuki Terumi, their Token Evil Teammate, he has been reduced to a literal specter of his former self and has to rely on possession, life links and Observers to not get stuck with a bad case of Ret-Gone. He's still an Evil Genius and Manipulative Bastard par excellence and the Artificial Human he inhabits is still strong enough to go toe-to-toe with the best of them. In Central Fiction he finally reclaims his former power again. Turns out that Terumi is the original owner of the Susanooh Unit that Hakumen uses and is actually Takehaya Susanoo no Mikoto, Physical Jerkass God and Destroyer Deity par supreme... It's a bad time for everyone. Outside of the Six Heroes, Jin Kisaragi is also struck with a temporary form of this during Continuum Shift in order to both reinforce his badassery and drive players nuts. Even Ragna gets in on this. Also throughout CP when his Azure Grimoire is sealed off. Sure, he doesn't exactly fare a whole lot, but he manages to hold his own well enough despite the handicap. After his Character Development and gaining both the use of his limbs and sight he becomes more efficient in combat and by CF he trounces through most of the playable roster and even defeated Nu-13 all without using the Azure Grimoire, with the latter being something he was never able to do prior.

With his already-prominent feelings of inadequacy heightened by this, he went into hiding and soon became a gifted scientist, performing numerous experiments on himself to regain what he had lost, but to no avail — though he did become a Snake Person. Becoming disillusioned, he completely abandoned his former life and started selling his scientific developments to various supervillains. With his newfound wealth and scientific skills, combined with his already being an expert hand-to-hand combatant and tactical genius, his lack of superpowers did not prevent him from becoming a notorious and successful villain in his own right: Professor Venomous.
