Die or Fly: Difference between revisions

* At the end of the [[Soul Eater]] anime, Maka discovers that {{spoiler|she is also a weapon, like her father}} when fighting Kishin, though this is not what allows her to defeat him.

* ''[[After War Gundam X (Anime)|Gundam X]]'' has [[Psychic Powers|Newtype powers]] work this way, as demonstrated in the Estard arc. [[Big Bad|The Frost brothers]] sic potential Newtypes on the Double X, with the intent that the near-death rush of battle will awaken their powers. Out of the four [[Monster of the Week|Pilots of the Week]], only the last one develops powers in this way. {{spoiler|Which is just fine by the Frosts, who despise Newtypes and were sending the candidates to their deaths; the one who ''does'' develop powers and survives his fight gets shot anyway.}}

 

 

** Amara from ''[[New Mutants]]'' discovers her powers like that. Selene [[No One Could Survive That|drops her in a volcano]] and she ends up learning to [[Playing With Fire|manipulate lava]]. Guess her [[Code Name|code name]] ? Magma, of course.

* Wolverine is a prime example of this-his claws first popped out during the attack on his parents.

** ''[[Superboy]]'' later introduced a character called Sparx, who came from a family who had all tested positive for the metagene. Members of her family deliberately endangered themselves to try and trigger their powers.

** Another story featured wannabes hanging around hoping for the day of their Origin and one relating how one guy decided to stop waiting and shoved a fork into a toaster. While the guy he's talking with starts rattling off possible powers the answer for what it got was 'electrocuted'. Destiny doesn't like it when you try and cheat.
