Line 39:
* Done in ''[[Detective Conan]]'' [[The Movie]] 13, The Raven Chaser. {{spoiler|Ran Mouri dodges a bullet fired by Irish when he's standing right in front of her.}}
* Claire Stanfield from ''[[Baccano]]'' can do this. But then, he's [[Charles Atlas Superpower|the sort of guy]] who can {{spoiler|reasonably be mistaken for an [[Urban Legend]]}}.
* Similar to the page quote, the [[Big Bad]] of [[Parasyte]] isn't fast enough to dodge the actual bullets. He ''is'' fast enough, however, to be able to see where the police point their guns, and be able to move out of the way.
* Some of the more [[Badass]] fighters in ''[[Change 123]]'' can pull this off, [[Shown Their Work|with lots of effort spent explaining how it actually works]]. You don't have to dodge the bullet, you just have to make the guy with the gun miss.
Line 53:
* Wesley Gibson and his father from ''[[Wanted]]''. In the opening scene Gibson Sr. dodges sniper fire. Wesley is not usually seen being shot at, and it's possible he simply kills opponents before they can fire. In one exception, he deflects the bullet with a knife. Even then, Wesley was surprised that the deflection actually ''worked.''
* Amadeus Cho, from ''[[Incredible Hercules]]'' (no, really). He's a badass normal in that he is so smart he has the ability to figure out where the bullets are going to be and not be there. Despite being physically normal.
* [[Captain America (comics)]] can do this pretty well, although he prefers blocking them with his [[Immune to Bullets]] shield. Since the shield isn't that big, it still takes amazing reflexes for it to protect him as well as it does.
* When the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] aren't [[Spin to Deflect Stuff|spinning their weapons]], they're dodging bullets and lasers and so on.
* John Doe of ''[[Nth Man: The Ultimate Ninja|Nth Man the Ultimate Ninja]]'', thanks to a lifetime of [[Ninja]] training. In the first issue of his comic, he dodges a bullet fired at him from point-blank range; later, he dodges a sniper's bullets while running uphill towards the gunman.
Line 112:
* In ''[[Aberrant]]'', Novas with at least two [[Mega Dexterity]] can make Dodge rolls against gunfire even without cover. (Those with four [[Mega Dexterity]] can make Block rolls to [[Bullet Catch|catch]] them.)
* The ''[[Old World of Darkness]]'' has a Dodge skill that allows you do dodge bullets. The difficulty of the dodge depends on your available cover. If you've got good cover, it can be a 6, which is a standard difficulty. If there is no cover, you can still drop to the floor to avoid the bullets, which is difficulty 8, pretty challenging.
* ''[[Mage: The Awakening]]'' has a shield system that allows you to do it, combined with the dodging action, a few different ways depending on the type of magic. For instance, Space causes the area around you to warp so the bullet lightly deflects as you move out of the way, Death 'steals the energy' from the bullet, slowing it down, and Fate just makes you so improbably lucky you dodge out of the way by tripping over a dog or whatever.
Line 154:
== Webcomics ==
* [[MAG ISA]] -- [http://mag-isa.thecomicseries.com/comics/pl/119718 Eman Cruz] did it during his gunfight with Kyle.
* As the opening quote shows, ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' has played this trope [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/5p44 straight]. On the other hand, it also gave us a dramatic [http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=16&issue=9 subversion]. And [http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=9&issue=11 this] (although it was an April fools joke)
* From [[Scary Go Round]]: "[http://scarygoround.com/?date=20030404 Have you ever tried to jump in front of a bullet? They move pretty fast, you know, ''like a bullet does.'']"
* The RPG-centric comic ''[[Darths and Droids]]'' manages to both lampshade and subvert this quite brilliantly [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0009.html at the same time], while also teaching its readers some valuable roleplaying techniques to boot.
