Line 256:
* In ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', [[The Battlestar|Battleplates]] were originally developed by the [[One World Order|UNS]] to prevent the natural impact of meteorites on human worlds. Of course, once the UNS realized that the Battleplate was also excellently able to deflect some other things that might threaten Earth, like the ''intentional'' impact of meteorites and other celestial bodies of a similar size and higher acceleration, and decided they'd better build a few dozens of them. You know, just in case. And as long as there's no pesky rocks that need to be swatted, well, there are many other uses you can put a several-kilometre long warship with grotesquely overpowered gravitics control to...
* In ''[[Bob and George]]'' this is how {{spoiler|Future Bass and Future Mega Man}} try to defeat {{spoiler|Bob}} when he {{spoiler|becomes the villain in the fifth Mega Man game}}. It doesn't work though, because he just {{spoiler|blows the whole thing up}}.
* ''[[Homestuck]]'': If the [[Chess Motifs|White King loses on the Battlefield]] ([[You Can't Fight Fate|which he is always destined to]]), the Black King (or [[Big Bad|Jack Noir]] in this case) initiates the Reckoning, which takes the asteroids which comprise the Veil and sends them flying toward Skaia and the Battlefield with the intent of destroying it. Skaia's defence mechanism opens portals to Earth (or whatever planet the players in question come from) at various points in its history, in the process [[Stable Time Loop|setting up some of the parameters of the game, including]] [[My Own Grandpa|the players]]
:The majority of the asteroids sent to the players' planet arrive around the time the game starts being played, or April 13, 2009 in the case of Earth, which amounts more or less to [[Apocalypse How|the end of the world]]; the entire point is to end mankind as Earth has served its purpose. All of the player's homes in particular are menaced by an incoming meteorite, requiring them to enter the game and start the adventure before it strikes; the largest one menaced Jade's home somewhere in the Pacific Ocean shortly before she entered, and [[Physical God|Becquerel]]'s blast to destroy it had to be so powerful that its nuclear shockwaves were more or less the last nail in the coffin for Earth.
