Line 8: ---- {{examples}} == [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] == * ''[[~~Mazinger Z (Anime)\|~~Mazinger Z]]'' runs on an engine powered by Photon Atomic engine. When it runs out of Photon energy, it ceases functioning and it has to be replenished to work again. Its sucessors ''[[~~Great Mazinger (Anime)\|~~Great Mazinger]]'' and ''[[Mazinkaiser]]'' also works with a Photon engine. Another of its sucessors, ''[[~~UFO Robo Grendizer (Anime)\|~~UFO Robo Grendizer]]'' works with the same principle but different energy source. ** In the same vein, the various ''[[Getter Robo]]''s are powered by Getter Energy, though some canons state that it can actually recharge itself. * [[Daitarn 3]] is powered by the sun. * While many ''[[Gundam]]''-based Mobile Suits are explicably stated that they're ran on some sort of nuclear power, ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' takes the cake - most mook- and enemy- units are initially powered by solar energy, but are easily overwhelmed by the Gundams, which run on GN Particles. By the time the second season starts, everyone has the GN Drives - the engines that run on GN Particles. However, the villains use incomplete variations known as GN Drive Tau, which needs to be replenished once emptied, unlike the true GN Drives. == [[Comic Books]] == Line 19 ⟶ 18: * A [[Green Lantern\|Green Lantern's]] ring is charged by a lantern connected to the central battery on Oa. The ring had a limited power life span and they would have to recharge it every so often (the exact time would change based on the continuity). * [[Marvel Comics]] uses this a lot: [[~~X Men\|~~X-Men]] leader Cyclops' red optic blasts are charged by solar power. In a pinch they can be charged by Storm's lightning (which turns them white) but it is not at all pleasant for him if he does it. Cyclops' brother Havok gets his powers charged by the energy of the stars. ** Moon Knight gets power boosts from the full moon. Line 27 ⟶ 26: == [[Film]] == * In ''[[Superman Returns]]'', Superman was weakened with a Kryptonite shard in his side, so he [[Fight Off the Kryptonite\|Fought Off the Kryptonite]] by rising into the sunlight. * In the live action ''[[He -Man and ~~The~~the Masters of ~~The~~the Universe]]'' film, He-Man had his sword taken from him and used to unlock the secret powers of Grayskull. He was left as a strong but weaponless warrior. Retaking his sword from the lock seemed to renew his strength and even frighten the empowered Skeletor. == Legends and Folklore == * Sir Gawaine, from [[King Arthur\|Arthurian legend]], is solar-powered. -- as the sun rises, his strength grows above human normal, until noon, when it starts to fade; at night he is no stronger than any other man. == [[Live Action TV]] == * In ''[[Smallville]]'', Clark is fighting against his Bizarro clone who has all of his powers inverted. Kryptonite strengthens him and the sunlight weakens him. It was here that Clark learns that the yellow sun fuels his powers. In an earlier episode, solar flares/sun spots cause his powers to go haywire and he doesn't have the same precision control. * In ''[[Lois and Clark]]'': ** A villain has a disintegration weapon that's capable of hurting Superman but they aren't positive they can kill him while using it. To ensure Superman is weakened, they make a catastrophe in an underground missile silo so that while using his powers he doesn't have a backup charge. Superman wins when Lois shorts out the silo door controls, opening them so he could recharge. Line 44 ⟶ 43: * ''[[Champions]]''. Powers can be defined as drawing power from an Endurance Battery, which can be recharged through various means (electricity, sunlight, radiation, and so on). * This is how [[Mana\|Essence]] in general works in ''[[Exalted]]''; it's recharged by "respiring" the local Essence (a process made more efficient by increasing levels of relaxation), with some circumstances (most notably natives of Creation or the Underworld being in the non-native one) making such respiration harder or impossible. [[Place of Power\|Demesnes and manses]] (and the [[Power Crystal\|hearthstones]] produced by the latter) and [[Gods Need Prayer Badly\|prayer]] also help recharge Essence. * Cole from ''[[~~In Famous~~Infamous (~~Video~~video game ~~Game~~series)\|In Famous]]'' needs to be in areas with electricity to recharge his powers, batteries and people can also be drained for power. == [[Video Games]] == * ''[[~~Boktai (Video Game)\|~~Boktai]]''. Django and Aaron are powered by the Sun, Lucian is powered by the Moon, and in a bit of a variation, Sabata is powered by a lack of sunlight. ** Literally "powered by the Sun", since the game's big gimmick is that letting sunlight hit the game cartridge will power up the player character and make the game easier. * In ''[[~~Fallout 3 (Video Game)\|~~Fallout 3]]'' you can get a perk called "Solar Powered" which gives you massive stat bonuses in the daylight. == [[Western Animation]] == Line 61 ⟶ 60: [[Category:Speculative Fiction Tropes]] [[Category:Phlebotinum Battery]] [[Category:Power Source]]
