== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* "Waterproof soap" in ''[[Ranma ½]]'' protects the wearer from having their [[Involuntary Shapeshifting|Jyuusenkyo curse]] triggered... until it wears off.
* In ''[[Tsukuyomi Moon Phase]]'' [[Our Vampires are Different|Hazuki]] crafts a cat costume that blocks out all sunlight. Naturally, while wearing it she is completely blind.
* In the 2017
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* [[Superman]] typically
** Pre-Crisis, Superman actually wore 'red sun block' when he went to Lexor in order to drag Luthor back to Earth and retain his powers (since he'd always gone and lost his powers prior to that) Pre-Crisis. [[Earthshattering Kaboom|It didn't end well
** In the [[Heroic Fantasy]] [[Elseworld]] ''League of Justice'', the Sovereign had golden armour to protect himself from the Crypton powerstone powering the Green Knight's ring - thereby combining "dense metal" (Kryptonite) with "yellow" (the weakness of the [[Green Lantern]] ring).
* In ''[[PS238]]'' Atlas (who is a Superman [[Expy]]
== [[Film]] ==
Line 26:
* ''[[The Twins Effect]]'', a Hong Kong [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|vampire action romance]] film, has a similar gag to the one in ''[[Vampires Suck]]'', though in that film, the vampires evidently didn't ''know that sunblock existed'', and ended up having to make their own. It worked for a while, and then [[Hilarity Ensues|smoke ensues]].
* In ''[[Highlander: The Source]]'', The Guardian wears a large piece of neck-armor that makes him immune to decapitation attacks, which is pretty useful seeing as how that's the only way to kill an immortal. [[The Spoony Experiment]], in his review of the movie, admits that as ridiculous as the armor looks (making him look like a cross between [[Silent Hill|Pyramid Head]] and a pelican), it's actually a very clever protective measure for the whole decapitation thing. Naturally, after defeating his first opponent using the advantage from the armor, the resulting Quickening causes the armor to disappear and [[Idiot Ball|The Guardian never attempts to replace it]].
* In ''[[Gremlins 2: The New Batch]]'', the Brain Gremlin injects the Bat Gremlin with "Genetic Sunblock" which allows the latter to fly outside in the sunlight without dying.
* Another vampire example comes from the source of the page image ([[Seltzer and Friedberg]]'s ''[[Vampires Suck]]'', of all things).
