* 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 hole—when he first uses it, even the other Zoalords call him insane, warning that he could potentially consume the Earth and everything on it with that attack.
** 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.
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* {{spoiler|Joker}} from ''[[Flame of Recca]]'' has a madogu which grants this ability - though {{spoiler|he initially pretends to simply possess incredible strength.}}
* Chelsea Rorec from ''[[Tokyo Underground]]'' is apparently the only ''gravity'' Elemental User. (Fire was not cool enough, ya know)
* Biagio Busoni from ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]'', who increases his opponent's personal gravity until they can barely move.
* Bluenote from ''[[Fairy Tail]]''.
* Some of the top-end combat boomers from ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]'' are equipped with gravity guns. They can't manipulate gravity outright, but they can use it as a blunt instrument to pound their target into paste.
 
== Comic Books ==
 
* The Wizard, a ''[[Fantastic Four]]'' villain, has [[Green Lantern Ring|vague but highly effective powers]] in this area. Basically, he can do anything [[Barrier Warrior|the Invisible Woman]] can do [[Dissimile|except turn invisible]].
* Roxy "Freefall" Spaulding from ''[[Gen 13]]''.
Line 52 ⟶ 50:
 
== Fan Works ==
 
* As part of his power upgrades, Kyon gets this in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]''.
* One of the minor Volturi is mentioned to have this, in a fairly limited way, in ''[[Luminosity]]''.
Line 58 ⟶ 55:
 
== Literature ==
 
* Szeth son-son Vallano from ''[[The Stormlight Archive]]''. Can stick two objects together, cause objects and people to 'fall' in any direction, and can cause objects to attract other objects. Also by the end of the first book {{spoiler|Kaladin}} is developing these powers.
* The [[Lizard Folk|K'Chain Che'Malle]] in ''[[The Malazan Book of the Fallen]]'' have this as their primary [[Functional Magic|Warren.]]
Line 65 ⟶ 61:
* Both Sullivan and his brother Madi have this power in [[The Grimnoir Chronicles|Hard Magic]]. Sullivan had enough time to practice with it in prison that he's able to do things that other Heavies never even dreamed of.
 
== Live -Action TV ==
 
* Bunta Daichi from ''[[JAKQ Dengekitai]]'' has this as part of his powers as [[The Big Guy|Clover King]].
* Shouji of the Heavenly Gravity Star from ''[[Gosei Sentai Dairanger]]'' uses this power.
* [[Kamen Rider OOO]]'s SaGoZo Combo.
 
== Other ==
 
* ''[[Bionicle]]'' has Toa of Gravity and Kanohi Garai, Mask of Gravity and Nuhvok-Kal. The Makuta species can also control gravity, and, in turn, spawn Rahkshi of Gravity.
* Fantasy artist Robin Wood's "Theory of Cat Gravity", which holds that cats lie in the sunshine to absorb some of the sun's considerable gravitational force. They release that gravity when they're sitting on their owners, which explains why it's so difficult to get up when your cat has you pinned.
* Shouji the Tenmaranger from ''[[Gosei Sentai Dairanger]]''.
 
== Tabletop Games ==
 
* The ''[[Trinity Universe (game)|Aberrant]]'' RPG power "Gravity Control".
* ''[[Anima: Beyond Fantasy]]'' has the spells in the Earth school allowing the caster to decrease, augment, and manipulate gravity-most of them very high level.
Line 88 ⟶ 76:
* The ''[[Mutants and Masterminds]]'' power "Gravity Control". It only does two things- lessen gravity and increase it in a bubble around you, making it a cheaper version of Telekinesis. It should be noted: This being ''[[Mutants and Masterminds]]'', you can buy "alternate powers" to represent different forms of Gravity manipulation.
* ''[[Cthulhu Tech]]'' has gravikinetic [[Psychic Powers|parapsychics]].
 
 
== Video Games ==
 
* ''[[Armed and Dangerous]]'' had an awesome gravity-controlling weapon that first anchors the player to the ground, and then somehow [[Gravity Screw|flips reality upside-down, causing any nearby enemies to fall into the sky]] then back to the ground when it turns off.
** Evie in ''[[Vindictus]]'' can acquire the power "SP: Gravity Inversion", which does the same thing.
Line 132 ⟶ 118:
* In ''[[Age of Mythology]]'' Atlas' divine power is the Implosion: a sphere that use gravity to suck all the enemy units in its radius (it even bends nearby buildings) and then explodes, spitting back the surviving enemies.
 
== WebcomicsWeb Comics ==
 
* One of the characters in the webcomic ''Knowledge Is Power'' has gravity manipulation as an ability.
* In ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', gravitic technology is used for both protection and offense ("gravy-guns"), as well as sundry other uses [[Captain Obvious|such as]] [[Artificial Gravity]] and ship propulsion. The ''UNS Tunguska'' - between its ridiculously overengineered power supply and its AI Gus - has extremely precise control, lifting the Toughs into the air as a show of force, transmitting a message by using gravity to rattle the ship's hull, and even gravitically controlling {{spoiler|Tagon to shoot Jak in the head}}. All of this is notable in that it probably is NOT Art Major Physics.
Line 140 ⟶ 125:
 
== Web Original ==
 
* Several characters from the ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'' have control over gravity. The heroes include Collapsar, Neutron Star, Orbits I and II (one is a Canadian hero, the other a Turkish hero), Gravity Man, and White Dwarf. The villains include Urania, Gravity, Black Hole, Event Horizon, Crusher, Deadweight, and Singularity.
* Solar Max II from the [[Academy of Superheroes|Academy of Superheroes Universe]] is an extremely powerful gravity-wielder, enough so that he can make black holes and bend space. Devastator, a supervillain, has power over multiple forces ''including'' gravity.
Line 146 ⟶ 130:
** Then there's G-Force, who is one of the Capes (the Future Superheroes of America club) on campus. When attacked by G-Force, Phase demonstrated that this power set has some distinct weaknesses.
* A supervillain known only as the Chief Designer, apparently a former head of the [[Cold War|Soviet]] space program, created a device called the Gravity Engine, strong enough to pull the Moon from its orbit, and gave it to [[The Mercury Men]] to do just that.
* ''[[The Gmod Idiot Box|]]'': Gravity Cat Not Amused.]]
 
== Western Animation ==
* Graviton in ''[[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes|Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes]]''. He gets really, really [[A God Am I|caught up]] in how awesome this is.
