I Love Nuclear Power: Difference between revisions

== Fanfiction ==

* [[Bleach|Hinamori]] attempts to invoke this trope in ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5982232/17/Please_Stop_Eating_The_Hell_Butterflies Please Stop Eating The Hell Butterflies]''. Why? Well, [[Ax Crazy|she's crazy]], so there's that.

 

 

* Parodied in the ''[[Earthworm Jim (animation)|Earthworm Jim]]'' cartoon for one episode where Jim, attempting to get superpowers to replace the weak super suit copy he was stuck with, used comic book methods. His efforts include getting trapped in a nuclear reactor, which gives him a glow-in-the-dark rash, and being bitten by a radioactive flea, which causes him to gain out-of-control leaping powers and grow flea legs from his head.

* Played straight and parodied in the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "Family Guy Viewer Mail #1". The Griffins are exposed to radioactive waste, and each gain separate powers (Stewie got telekinesis, Brian got superspeed, Chris got pyrokinesis, Peter got shapeshifting, Lois got super strength, and Meg could...[[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|extend and retract her fingernails]]). They proceed to wreak havoc in Quahog, and in an attempt to gain superpowers to stop them, Mayor [[Adam West]] rolls around in radioactive waste:

'''Adam West:''' Silly, yes... idiotic... yes. }}

* Likewise the ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' episode "Super Hero", where Master Shake exposes himself to toxic waste that, instead of giving him super powers, causes him to slowly melt.

* Two recurring villains of ''[[The Mask (animation)|The Mask]]: The Animated Series'' got powers this way. First, they were two stupid teenagers that decided to get superpowers. They go to the nuclear power plant, get radioactive - and realize they forgot to bring a bug to bite them just before passing out by poisoning. As the ambulance is taking them away, an accident causes one to crash into a putty shop (turning him into the shapeshifting Putty Thing) and another into an aquarium (turning him into the harmless Fish Guy). Fish Guy didn't get anything good out of the deal either; even as a fish he still ''couldn't swim''.

* Parodied in ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]''. The Crimson Chin's origin story has him bitten on the chin by a radioactive ''celebrity''.

'''Celebrity:''' Grrarrr! }}

* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' used this trope a little lightly. The hero was radiated by ecto energy that altered his genetic structure.
