* [[Warren Ellis]]' run on ''[[Stormwatch]]'' had a superhero whose [[Weaksauce Weakness]] was that he couldn't spend more than a few hours outside a city. It made all-hands meetings on the team's space station base awkward.

* In the ''[[Lone Wolf]]'' gamebooks and associated novels, the Darklords of Helgedad cannot survive outside the polluted atmosphere of the Darklands without special apparati, which can be magical, but can also include special breathing tanks. Of course, they are attempting to expand the Darklands through conquest.▼
