* In ''[[Guyver]]'', at least one Zoalord, Richard Guyot, has the power to manipulate gravity. His most basic attack, Gravity Bullets, fires tiny orbs of super-gravity clean through a target, while his ultimate move, Gravity Crusher, creates a black
** The Guyver units themselves have gravity control via the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Gravity Medal]] at the waist. The basic version allows flight and powers the Pressure Cannon attack but the Gigantic Exceed version can also use a black hole, with considerably more control than Guyot demonstrated.
* Maro, [[The Brute]] in ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'', can both control the gravity around him and project super-dense gravity bombs.
Line 82:
* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' has spells Reverse Gravity and Feather Fall / Anvil Fall (changes the terminal velocity).
** ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' Pages from the Mages has Lessen Gravity spell.
** ''[[Spelljammer]]'' has
** There is also the gravity master class. [[Magic Knight|magic knights]] capable of manipulating gravity to [[Super Strength|increase their weapon damage and make them harder to knock down]], [[Super Speed|increase their speed similar to the biotic charge from]] [[Mass Effect 2]], and [[Megaton Punch|hit the ground hard enough to knock other people over.]]
* ''[[Mage: The Awakening]]'' features rotes allowing for the control of gravity at Forces 5.
Line 111:
* All biotic powers (with the exception of Reave and Dominate, that are specific to asari biology but available to the player as a bonus) in ''[[Mass Effect]]'' are achieved by mass manipulation, and thus could be called a form of gravity control. A low-mass field will lift an object or move it in any direction. A high-mass field will slam it into the ground or crush it. Biotic characters can even use the Singularity power to generate miniature black holes that will attract all loose objects and weakened enemies ([[Selective Gravity|though strangely not stronger enemies or fellow party members]]). Also, the [[Cool Ship|Normandy]] uses a similar effect to achieve thrust while still remaining [[Stealth in Space|stealthy]]. The Tantalus Drive Core generates a high-gravity field in front of the ship that the Normandy "falls into", and momentum carries it from there.
** In fact, mass manipulation (or "[[Title Drop|mass effect]]") is how ''[[Applied Phlebotinum|everything]]'' in the series works, via a strange material called "element zero" or "eezo". How it works is simple: positive charges to it increase its mass, and negative charges decrease mass. The possibilities explode from there. For example, FTL travel is achieved by making the net mass of a ship ''negative'', thereby making relativity look the other way. BioWare really [[Shown Their Work|did their homework]].
* The boss Nightmare in ''[[Metroid]] Fusion'' can control gravity, making it take longer for you to reach your full jumping
** Like he's any better in ''Other M''. The first phase, it uses a gravity field to weigh down Samus while peppering her with energy spheres and lasers until she can short out its generator with the Ice Beam. The second phase? It uses its gravity powers more defensively, including shooting a black hole from that generator that causes ALL of Samus' projectiles to warp off their path and into it.
*** But oddly enough, [[Selective Gravity|not Samus herself]]
