Line 29:
* ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]''. Cyborg girl Rico backflips toward [[Big Bad|terrorist leader Dante]] while he shoots at her with an assault rifle during the Turin Nuclear Plant siege.

* One of the most prominent comic book examples would have to be, [[Gender-Inverted Trope|ironic as it might seem]], [[Spider-Man]]. As a consequence of his powers, he fights reflexively. However he is ''extraordinarily'' limber and agile, so by reflex he jumps, twirls, twists, and contorts all over the place to dodge blows and missiles. As a result, [[Female Gaze|everyone gets a good look at Peter Parker's toned gymnast body from all angles]].
** It should be noted, however, that this doesn't really stop Spider-Man from taking severe blows. Indeed, almost every videogame starring him features a costume selection that is torn up and ravaged from all the damage he takes during the game. Because of his [[Spider Sense]], he's never really blind-sided, but his enemies just tend to be ''that'' fast and powerful.
Line 38:
== Fan Works ==
* ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure Dragon]]'' has this, and it shows in at least several episodes, as both Cure Dragon and Cure Fortune employ this against the villains (with the latter making some good use of pirouettes in her fighting style). It's implied that both have had at least some gymnastics training.
* ''[[Final Stand of Death]]'' has Fusion Gundam showing off their moves, such Spur taking over a [[Mini-Mecha]] twice her size, controlled by [[Blink-182]]. Redd also show her signature kick when [[Frankenstein's Monster]] got to close, after a [[Full-Frontal Assault]]. Since they were once human, who happened to know some martial arts, they still let them have it.
* In ''[[Drunkard's Walk]] II'', [[Bubblegum Crisis|Lisa Vanette]] is established as a former gymnast, possibly good enough at one time to compete in the Olympics. In ''[http://accessdenied-rms.net/deadbang.shtml Dead Bang]'', the official sequel to ''DW2'' by Ian McLeod, Lisa combines her gymnastic skills with her recently-acquired telekinesis and "danger sense" to turn herself into a spinning, flipping fury on the battlefield that just can't be hit.
