Line 6:
If an [[Ridiculously Human Robot|android,]] [[Humongous Mecha]], [[Powered Armor]], [[Mons|Mon]], [[Magic Knight]], [[Magical Girl]], or basically any super powered individual [[Amplifier Artifact|gets a power up]], or starts out ''really'' powerful and [[Power Makeover|wants it to show]], they will have [[Winged Humanoid|wings.]]
Specifically, feathery white angelic wings, [[One-Winged Angel|even for villains!]] (Though they might only have [[Fashionable Asymmetry|the one]].) Wings made of [[Hard Light]] or [[Pure Energy]] are also popular; expect them to be [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]. These wings will of course allow the character to [[Flight|fly]], [[Power Floats|float]], and [[Power Glows|glow]], all [[Stationary Wings|without needing to flap them]]! If the cast already has a character with a pair and he's been [[My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours|surpassed]], the surpasser will have ''two'' pairs of wings. To differentiate what sort of wings your newly-powered-up character has gained, see [[Good Wings, Evil Wings]].
Often paired with a [[Holy Halo]], just for the imagery. Which you can [[Power Gives You Wings/Image Links|enjoy here!]]
Line 45:
** No need to go as far as that. ''Every single time'' (particularly in [[The Movie|the movies]]) Seiya's Cosmo burns bright enough to make him a real threat to the latest [[Big Bad]], he somehow summons the Sagittarius armor to him to replace the Pegasus Cloth. The wings, golden halo, and [[The Archer|bow and arrow]] seem designed to inspire an angelic symbolism.
* ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]'' provides a clear example of people who has started to reach the capability to understand the path of Heaven and God's will.
** [[Superpower Lottery|Accelerator]] does it during the climax of his fight against [[Complete Monster|Kihara Amata]] grows [[Good Wings, Evil Wings|Black Wings]], later being called [[A God I Am|''He who wields a piece of power that equates to God'']].
** [[Superpower Lottery|Kakine Teitoku]], the second strongest esper, has not two but three sets of wings making him to look as a seraph being called: [[A God I Am|''He who wields a piece of heaven that is inhabited by God'']].
** [[Dimension Lord|Aiwass]] also has Golden Wings hidden by his/her/it very long hair.
Line 113:
== [[Literature]] ==
* Somewhat spoofed in [http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i165/dragonlance_never/Doujinshi/dl_pg19.jpg this] ''[[Dragonlance]]'' doujinshi comic.
* In [[Neil Gaiman]] and [[Terry Pratchett]]'s ''Good Omens'' when {{spoiler|Crowley and Aziraphale take the side of the Antichrist in preventing The Apocalypse, they decide it's pointless hiding their wings anymore. In a subversion of the [[Good Wings, Evil Wings|devil wings]] trope, Crowley also has feathered wings; after all, he may be Fallen, but he's still an Angel.}}
** {{spoiler|Actually, he did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards.}}
*** {{spoiler|All demons have angel wings, the only difference being that demons typically keep theirs cleaner.}}
Line 133:
** ''[[Kamen Rider Blade]]'' gives wings to both [[The Hero]] Blade and [[The Lancer]] Garren in their [[Super Mode|Jack Forms]].
** ''[[Kamen Rider Kabuto]]'' gains energy wings in his [[Super Mode|Hyper Form]], but only when he activates [[Super Speed|Hyper Clock Up]].
** [[Kamen Rider Double]]'s [[Eleventh
*** These could also be interpreted as five extra scarves, to go with the one from the Cyclone Memory.
** [[Kamen Rider OOO]] has animal-themed forms, and surprise surprise, the most powerful of the basic forms is the bird-themed one. He also gets wings as part of the actual [[Super Mode]], a dinosaur form (courtesy of the pterodactyl part of that form).
