* In [[DC Nation]], this is broadly hinted to be something of a superpower for the otherwise [[Badass Normal]] Roy Harper. He's flipped off [[Cosmic Horror|Cosmic Horrors]] and [[Jerkass Gods]] alike. In-universe, he is completely unreadable to Dr. Fate. At one point, Dark Angel is howling for his head, saying he should have died in [[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]. He shrugs it off.
{{quote| '''Arsenal:''' ''"All you're telling me is that I've pissed in your Cheerios more than once, and I did it beside Donna. Lemme tell you, those are two things that make me a very happy little camper...And hey, extra bonus for me at the end of it? I pissed you off when I didn't even mean to! Little ol' me. [[Badass Normal|A guy. A dude. A very attractive but semi-normal human fleshbag.]] Man, I'm good."''}}
* Mana Kirishima seems to have this power in ''[[Shinji and Warhammer 40 K (Fanfic)|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]''. Nowhere in the prophecies does it mention anything about her, so when she gets {{spoiler|Magnos Tancred}} and hence the actual ability to influence Angel-level fights, she can do things forbidden by them.
* In the ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' meets ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3417335/1/Martian_Manhunter Martian Manhunter,] Veronica is told (by Drusilla, of all people) that she has no fate or destiny that anyone can discern. Dru even explicitly makes the comparison to Sparhawk.
Line 65:
** To clarify: There was a kid who could see the future (often seeing people's deaths) and became [[The Fatalist]] because nothing he did could alter his visions. His attitude changes when Clark rescues someone who he predicted would die, ''even though he had no knowledge of the vision'' and was just doing his regular superheroing since they hadn't even met yet.
** He also tells Clark that ''everyone'' is fated to die, but in Clark's future, all he saw was a cape fluttering in sea of stars.
{{quote| '''Jordan Cross''': You ''don't'' have an end like other people. It's like you live ''forever.''}}
* In ''[[Supernatural]]'''s fifth season, Sam and Dean are constantly told by the angels that, {{spoiler|as the human vessels of Lucifer and Michael}}, they are fated to give in and that no matter how hard they try to avoid it, it's inevitably going to happen anyway. {{spoiler|Sam eventually says yes to Lucifer, but Dean does not, forcing Michael to adopt their half-brother Adam Milligan as a makeshift vessel.}}
** To be fair, the angels are kinda dicks. They might well have been lying about fate.
