PIS stands for Plot Induced Stupidity.
PIS is when the writer ignores or forgets a character's abilities or simply writes them as "dumb"; usually with no cause or reasoning beyond simply needing them to for the sake of their plot to work; hence 'Plot' induced stupidity.
And in turn, said character proforms at a vastly lower level compared to when he/she is written properly.
An example of PIS is the Flash. Without PIS, the Flash would triumph in a single panel, rendering a comic series pointless and uninteresting.
