Line 98:
* On ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', Lily has the "You're dead to me look", which causes her eyes to glow and the object of her glare to (appear to) vaporize. Given the look's similarity to [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Dark Willow]] eyes, this is possibly an [[Actor Allusion]] to actress Alyson Hannigan's former character.
* [[Nightman]]'s costume includes (among things like a bulletproof bodysuit, an [[Anti Gravity]] belt, and an [[Invisibility Cloak]]) an eyepatch of sorts that grants him night vision and can fire a laser. He's not shy about using it to kill, though. At one point, he uses it to merely stun a bad guy, knowing the guy was going to take a two-story fall headfirst.
* [[Cindy Crawford]] was able to do this when she appeared on ''[[Muppets Tonight]]'', and did it to vaporize two rather annoying Muppets, one a [[Loony Fan]] who asked [[Be Careful What You Wish For| if supermodels had super-powers]], and during [[Brick Joke| the last scene]] on a guy who kept introducing himself (over and over).

* In ''[[BattleTech]]'' and it's PC simulator adaptation ''[[Mechwarrior]]'',
* [[Badass Longcoat|Commissar]] [[Memetic Badass|Sebastian Yarrick]] from ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' got a laser-firing bionic implant for his left eye to build on the stories fearful [[Our Orcs Are Different|Orks]] told of him being able to kill with a glare.
** Lords of Change, the [[Eldritch Abomination|greater daemons]] of [[The Chessmaster|Tzeentch]], use their gaze as their ranged attack.
Line 169 ⟶ 170:
* In ''[[I Robot (video game)|I Robot]]'', the eye who's watching you, kills you with an eye beam if you're caught jumping.
* A bit of a variation on this trope in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' when Andross shoots lasers from his eyes. Why is it a variation you ask? Because his eyes ''detach from his brain and chase after you, spewing red laser beams''.
* In a platformer video game adaptation of ''[[The Great Gatsby]]'', they took the symbolic eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg and ran with it as far as they could, turning it into [https://web.archive.org/web/20130914081838/http://greatgatsbygame.com/about.html this] craziness.
* Quistis's ''Laser Eyes'' [[Power Copying|Blue Magic]] [[Limit Break]].
* ''[[Silent Hill 3]]'''s Heather Beam and Sexy Beam.
Line 261 ⟶ 262:
* In ''[[The Iron Giant]]'', the first terrifying example of the Giant containing weaponry comes in this form. {{spoiler|Even the Giant wasn't consciously aware he had them.}}
* The [[Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!]] Super Robot has this one. They can also be [[Freeze Ray]]s. [[Troperiffic|As well as about every other Super Robot trope...]]
* Comet Guy from ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'' has [[Freeze Ray]] vision as part of his set of [[Combo-Platter Powers]].
