* Characters from the ''[[Touhou]]'' series have abilities ranging from [[Super Strength]] to controlling insects to "[[Green Lantern Ring|manipulating boundaries]]," but without fail every single one of them can also fly. A footnote in [http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Perfect_Memento_in_Strict_Sense/Flandre_Scarlet an article] from ''[[All There in the Manual|Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' could imply that ''everyone'' in Gensokyo can fly, even the "normal" humans.

** Special mention must be made of main protagonist Reimu Hakurei. In the PC-98 games she was incapable of flight and rode into battle on the back of her [[Turtle Power|flying, bearded turtle Genji]], but since the Windows game she's evidently learned to fly on her own while Genji is "[[Put on a Bus|probably living in the lake at the back of the shrine]]." Not only that, but Reimu is also able to [[Game Breaker|exploit her power of flight]] to literally [[Intangible Man|fly out of reach of your attacks in a spatial sense]] with her "Fantasy Heaven" spellcard, making her effectively invincible for its duration. The only reason she's beatable is that she's sporting enough to impose a time limit on her own ability.

* Although Superman was likely the ur-example of a hero who could fly, oddly enough, he could ''not'' fly in his earliest appearances. He ''could'' leap several city blocks in one jump, however. (Possibly where the phrase "leap tall buildings in a single bound" originally came from.) After several issues of [[Character Development]], this was changed and he was able to use actual flight.
* In ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', flight is initially presented as a technique of the Crane Hermit, but by ''Z'' pretty much everyone who fights (except Yajirobe) can fly.
