* ''[[Dragon Ball]]'':
** Goku was sent to Earth because he'd easily be able to wipe out all life on the planet ''as a newborn baby.'' That's not speaking highly of Goku; [[Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond|that's speaking badly of Earth]]. We're so back-water and worthless we're not even worth a proper invasion, just send a baby there, let it full-moon-rampage for a few years, then send someone to clean up whatever's left over.
** Any Saiyan [[Half-Human Hybrid]] can be relied on to crush a Big Bad who has otherwise proved unstoppable. Two of the [[Big Bad
** This grows worse as the series progresses, too: Goku and Vegeta had to go through great suffering to obtain Super Saiyan. Gohan merely had to imagine going through great suffering. Goten merely had to get scared sparring with his mother, and Trunks could do it because Goten did it. Vegeta [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this both in Japanese and English.
* Ivan Whisky aka Cyborg 001 in ''[[Cyborg 009]]'': he's just a little baby, but has insanely powerful psychic powers and is extremely intelligent.
Line 43:
* Sometimes this applies to even Normals. ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' has the powerless Dr. Moira MacTaggart, whose status as Professor Xavier's ''ex-girlfriend'' was enough to knock her son, Kevin aka Proteus, into [[Green Lantern Ring]] power levels.
* ''[[Superman]]'':
** Superman was originally one of these as a child; these days he's usually portrayed as having [[Puberty Superpower
** Ariella Kent, the daughter of an [[Alternate Universe]] Superman and [[Supergirl]] (they're [[Not Blood Siblings|not cousins]] in that world) has greater-than-[[Silver Age]] Kryptonian powers, plus an array of [[Psychic Powers]] and [[Time Travel]]. She causes massive collateral damage every time she... well, does anything.
** In ''[[JLA: Act of God]]'', the child of the depowered Supes and Wonder Woman is shown using telekinesis.

== Video Games ==
* ''[[Kirby]]''. The little pink [[Eldritch Abomination]] slayer with a bottomless stomach is specifically said in the anime based on the games to be a ''baby'', and he acts like one.
* Wynaut from ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]''. Most baby Pokémon are useless but [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?|cute]] [[Joke Character
* [[Handwaved]] in ''[[Golden Sun]]: The Lost Age'', it's stated that Eoleo got the same [[Green Rocks|Psynergy Stone]] exposure that a few others got in the course of the first game. Additionally, he's on par with everybody else in ''Dark Dawn'', so maybe Adept kids are just a handful like that.
