Power Floats: Difference between revisions

* Kyuubey picks this up in ''[[Oriko Magica]]''. Because he wasn't creepy enough already.

* Shiki, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[One Piece]]'''s tenth movie, has this as a power. In addition to being able to float himself, he can make battleships or islands float... [[Colony Drop|or just let them fall.]]

 

== Comic Books ==

* ''[[The Sandman]]'' also mentions that angels never touch the ground, with the exception of the fallen angel Lucifer of course. When Remiel is forced to take over Hell, after much pleading and whimpering, he is also forced to land.

* [[Doctor Strange]] can float unaided and is often found in a [[Levitating Lotus Position]]. His Cloak of Levitation enables him to fly.

 

== Literature ==

* In [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[The Stand]]'', Randall Flagg likes to spend his downtime hovering and [[A God Am I|meditating on his own awesomeness]].

** The first sign of his [[Villainous Breakdown]] {{spoiler|which begins after Nadine kills herself and his unborn child}} is that he can only hover a few inches, and not for very long at that.

* ''[[Ravenor]]''. Stephen Hawking plus psychic powers in a floating wheelchair.

 

== Live-Action TV ==

* [[Fan Nickname|Tinkerbell]] [[Power Glows|Jesus]] [[Doctor Who|Doctor]] does this at the end of the third series, post revamp.

 

* [[Older Than Print]]: Christian folklore holds it that angels constantly float, even when not actually flying, as their feet are never to touch base earth.

 

== Tabletop Games ==

** Actually, it lets you float as high as you like, but at more than 1 foot above the nearest flat surface, they lose a lot of speed and stability. Still, nothing is stopping you [[Dungeon Bypass|floating up to the tower's topmost window and gliding through]].

* The Ashura of ''[[Legend of the Five Rings]]'' appear to be samurai with moth wings that float above the ground. Although they are powerful, they aren't deliberately floating - they are so utterly corrupt that the earth itself repels them.

 

== Toys ==

 

== Video Games ==

* The God of light {{spoiler|Fortinbras}} from ''[[Onimusha]]'' not only has this as a basic powert, he can even [[Walking on Water|Walk in the Air]].

* In ''[[Jak and Daxter The Precursor Legacy]]'' Gol Acheron and his sister Maia are only ever seen floating. Gol even has weights tied to his waist, probably to prevent him from drifting off.

 

== Web Comics ==

* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', Gwynn tends to float and [[Power Glows|glow]] when she starts really channeling her witchy powers.

* ''[[The Way of the Metagamer]]''. The [[Dismantled MacGuffin|Colour Drops]] all float, as do spellcasters when preparing spells.

 

== Web Original ==

* When she gains all of the Fall Maiden's power in volume 3 episode 11 of ''[[RWBY]]'', Cinder Fall is able to fly.

 

== Western Animation ==

* All of the [[Our Ghosts Are Different|ghosts]] in [[Danny Phantom]] both float and have a [[Power Glows|glowing aura]].

* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' can fly, of course, but they rarely walk, usually levitating when they do anything except sleep or watch TV.
