* ''[[Darker Than Black]]'' has its Contractors, in reference to the powers they have which they "repay" through Renumerations (rituals that must be done each time they use their powers). That being said, the term also calls to mind [[Career Killers|contract killing]] and [[Private Military Contractors]], which are both pretty accurate descriptions of the type of jobs Contractors tend to be involved in.
** There are also certain other types of supers: Dolls (who have little personal volition and whose powers usually focus on ESP through a chosen medium), Moratoriums (who have no control over their powers and usually go into [[Superpower Meltdown|trance-like states of destruction]]), and Forfeiters (Contractors who lost their powers and regained their emotions).
* The [[Gorn|graphic]] [[Hentai]] [[Manga]] ''[[Mai Chans-chan's Daily Life]]'' refers to someone with unusual abilities as a "Physical Idiosyncrasy".
* The titular ''[[NEEDLESS]]''-es.
* [[Tiger and Bunny]] has NEXT. The NEXT that put on costumes and fight crime, however, are still called superheroes (or just heroes).
