Goo-Goo Godlike: Difference between revisions

* In [[Robin McKinley]]'s ''Spindle's End'' (an [[Adaptation Expansion|expansion]] of the various "Sleeping Beauty" stories) magic permeates ''everything'' and the "Fairies" are actually normal people who happen to have the inborn ability to control it. The Fairy condition may not necessarily be hereditary and most Fairies come into their power [[Puberty Superpower|as teens]]. However, a few Fairies manifest powers ''very'' early, a phenomenon known in the novel as "Baby Magic". As cutesy as that sounds, it's actually very dangerous and unpredictable, especially because yu never know how those powers will manifest. A baby Fairy may be able to intuitively understand [[Animal Talk]]. Or, he may be able to [[Baleful Polymorph|transform the nanny into a terrier]] and pull a [[One-Winged Angel]] act ''every'' time he has a tantrum....

* Coin the Sourcerer from ''[[Discworld]]''. Shortly after being born he get hit by lightning and merely absorbs its power. By the time he's a teenager he's the most powerful force in the world.

* Surprise Golem from ''[[Xanth]]'' appears to be one of those initially, but turns out to have a significant handicap later on (though the handicap is less significant than it initially seems). Melody, Harmony, and Rhythm are legitimate examples.

* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20111016094814/http://nickelkid.net/docs/greats/its_a_good_life.html It's a GOOD Life]'' by Jerome Bixby. This kid's a [[Reality Warper]], he can use [[People Puppets]], he has [[Telepathy]]... and he's an instant generator of horror. {{spoiler|[[Superpowerful Genetics|His daughter]] makes it better.}}
