In many works, people with superpowers are portrayed as superior to those without, regardless of how skilled they are. This is the opposite: a Differently Powered Individual looks up to a mentor who has no powers (or powers of the Weak, but Skilled variety), but who has the weight of expertise and experience on their side. Sometimes, the superpowered student has looked up to their mentor since before they gained their powers. Usually, the most common lesson the Experienced Mentor will teach their powered protégé is to not just rely solely on their powers and to learn to adapt when they lose them. See also Boxing Lessons for Superman, where people with powers improve themselves by training in non-supernatural skills. |

Avengers: Age of Ultron: Badass Normal Hawkeye has to comfort Scarlet Witch after she becomes overwhelmed and frightened despite her reality-breaking powers. Hawkeye points out that in a battle between genocidal robots, literal gods, enhanced humans, and flying men in suits of armor, he's just a guy with a bow and arrow, but she has the power to change the tide of the battle: | |

Arrow: Oliver was Barry's mentor despite the latter being a super-powered speedster. Oliver has the advantage of being an incredibly talented Badass Normal archer with a lot of experience as a hero, while Barry is an overeager young man who tends to rush into problems and relies on his powers a little too much. | |

A repeated pattern in the Lyrical Nanoha franchise: Nanoha herself has an incredible natural aptitude for magic, unlike her first mentor, Yuuno, who is only good at shielding spells. Nevertheless, the fact that he can use magic and teach it to Nanoha is what lets her discover her talents in the first place. After the original season, Fate a genetically-engineered super-mage is tutored to control her powers by her adoptive brother Chrono, whose natural aptitude for magic is mediocre, at best, but his past training and field experience more than make up for it. In the manga set after the second season, both Nanona and Fate, already famed as the most powerful mages alive, are apprenticed to one Fern Corrado, a Veteran Instructor who hands both of their asses back to them in their first mock battle to demonstrate that decades of combat experience beat raw mana output most of the time. |

Naruto: Kakashi is one for Naruto himself (and to a lesser extent Sasuke). Kakashi has the experience (having fought the Third Shinobi World War) and the expertise (having a lot of ninja techniques he can use), but Naruto has much more raw power thanks to both his Uzumaki bloodline and the Nine-tailed Fox sealed inside him. | |

Supernatural: After the angel Castiel rebels against Heaven, he spends most of his time on earth, but doesn't know how to blend in. He mostly follows Dean's lead, fighting when the Winchesters fight and trusting whomever they trust. With some help from his brother Dean and the angel Castiel, Badass Normal Sam serves as this to the Nephilim Jack, who has the physical build of a young adult and the Reality Warper powers of an archangel but, at only a few months old, is painfully naive and trusting. Sam no longer has any powers, but he has decades of experience as a Hunter of Monsters and helps Jack figure out who to trust and how to control his powers. |

Discworld: In Thief of Time, Lu-Tze has a lot of experience (the nature of the History Monks and the Valley of Oi Dong means that putting a number on this is probably meaningless) and is pretty good at the History Monk stuff even thought he's not actually a History Monk, but generally feels the time-manipulation elements are more bother than they're worth. He's made the master of Lobsang, a young man who has an instinctive grasp of even the most complex time manoeuvres and can do things that are technically impossible without even noticing. When Lobsang becomes the Anthropomorphic Personification of Time, Lu-Tze is impressed, but insists "You are still my apprentice until I say otherwise!" | |

In X-Men: First Class Charles acts like this for a number of the young Mutants he and Erik recruit. While Charles' powers are by no means weak, many of the younger Mutants' powers are more useful in physical confrontations. | |

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Greybeards serve as mentors to the Dovahkiin in the ways of the Thu'um. Both can use Thu'um, but the Greybeards are only able to master it through years of isolation, meditation and studying the fundamental concepts of the dragon language. The Dovahkiin, in contrast, unlocks Thu'um by consuming the souls of dead dragons, and in a relatively short period of time, can learn a wide variety of Shouts that it would take a typical Greybeard many lifetimes to master. | |

The Wheel of Time: Moiraine, a member of the all-female Aes Sedai Magical Society, tries to teach The Chosen One Rand how to control his vast power when it manifests. This is hampered by the fact that the setting's Mars-and-Venus Gender Contrast extends to the Functional Magic system, so most of her lessons don't apply to men. Sorilea is the most-revered of the Aiel Wise Ones despite being extremely weak in the One Power because she has over 200 years of hard life experience to draw on — and is astute enough to learn any spell at a single glance, even if she can't use it herself. |
