His preferred method of attack is flicking his boogers at people.

* Gensuru the Bomb Devil from ''[[Hunter X Hunter]]'' has two abilities of this sort: He can create a small explosion with a touch or a bigger explosion (involving bombs conjured from thin air) if he sets things up right beforehand.

** Also in ''X-Men'', War of the Apocalypse horsemen had a power to detonate objects he focused on.
** Gambit has a power to turn any object he touches into a bomb, as small as a playing card or as big as a car (he used that one when teaming up with Ben Grimm from the [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]]).
** Jubilee, pre-depowering, had this. Usually it was in the form of tiny little fireworks that could blind and deafen others, but in times of stress, she was able to level buildings with them.
