Flying Firepower: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

[[File:FirestormNukesACity 6698.jpg|link=Firestorm|frame|Long range and flying ''really'' fast come in handy if your powers include ''nuking a city.'']]

 

A stock variant [[Combo-Platter Powers]], where the powers are [[Flight]] and the ability to fling [[Fireballs]] or something. While a character is likely to have some elements of the [[Flying Brick]] and [[Required Secondary Powers]], their primary combat style is built around flying around their opponents and shooting laser beams at them.

 

See [[Flight, Strength, Heart]], [[Flying Brick]], and [[Combo-Platter Powers]] for related tropes.

{{examples}}

* ''[[X-Men]]'':

** '''Sunfire''': Sun-related array of powers, and flight.

* ''[[The Avengers]]'': Firestar and Firebird have the same abilities of flight and fire, seeing as they were based on ''[[The Human Torch]]''.

* ''[[Global Guardians]]'': Fire, a brazilian woman who has ''[[Technicolor Fire|green]]'' [[Wreathed in Flames]] and flies around.

 

* ''[[Fantastic Four (film)|Fantastic Four]]'': Johnny Storm, see comic book entry.

 

* ''[[Freedom Force]]'': [[Names to Run Away From Very Fast|El Diablo]] main powerset is the ability to fly and throw blasts of fire.

* ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'': [[X-Men|Phoenix]] uses nothing but fire and the ability to fly, despite ostensibly having a wide variety of [[Psychic Powers]] form the original work.

* Charizard from ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue]]'', which resembles an orange fire-breathing lizard with wings.

 

* ''[[Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes]]'': Johnny Storm, see comicbook entry.

* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', in the later season, high level Firebenders are [[Power Creep, Power Seep|suddenly able to fly with bursts of fire from their hands or feet]] as an extension of [[Explosion Propulsion]].

* ''[[WITCH (animation)|WITCH]]'': as in the cartoon all Guardians can fly, Taranee is this since the beginning. Halinor too in Guardian form, and Nerissa after absorbing her in the Seal of Nerissa. And, of course, Ember the Pain.

 

* Pretty much every one of the recurring characters capable of fighting in ''[[Dragonball Z]]''

* The Air Mages of ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'', especially those who use the Mid-Childa style, which specialize at firing beams and other energy projectiles.

 

* ''[[Ms. Marvel]]'': [[Ki Attacks]] from her hands. However, she's got general [[Flying Brick]] powers, so she tends to switch between energy beams and brawling.

* ''[[Static Shock]]'': With a piece of metal to hover on and some good old fashioned [[Shock and Awe]].

* ''[[Comic Book]]/WITCH'': having the power of Absolute Energy, Will could fire death from her hands since the beginning, and became an example of Flying Firepower when the ''New Power'' saga gave her the ability to fly.

 

* [[Godzilla]] movies:

** '''Fire Rodan''' from ''[[Godzilla]] VS Mechagodzilla II'' was able to fly as well as [[Breath Weapon|fire a uranium beam from his mouth]].

* ''[[Gamera]]'' films: The Gyaos are able to shoot blasts of high-frequency soundwaves while flying that are able to slice through steel.

 

* In ''[[Champions]]'' it was very common for energy projector characters to also have flight. Early examples include Pulsar, Bluejay and Firewing.

 

* ''[[City of Heroes]]/[[City of Villains|Villains]]'': includes options for various range attacks and Flight. Fire too, so there's an entry above.

* ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'':

* Prevalent in ''[[Touhou]]'', where everyone is capable of [[Flight]] and all supernatural abilities are limited to launching [[Danmaku]].

 

* ''[[Webcomic/Fusion|Fusion]]'' is a purple glowing energy blast user. She even leaves a trail of purple energy when flying.

 

* ''[[Whateley Universe]]'':

** '''Tennyo''' flies, hurls plasma blasts, and more

** '''Sunscreen''' can do the same, and seems to get energy from the sun.

 

* ''[[Static Shock]]'': See comic book.

* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'': Danny's ghost powers include flight and shooting ghostly ectoplasm beams.
