Line 42:
* Smax in comic ''[[Top Ten|Top 10]]'' can fire energy from his chest. This is later named "The Strong Light."
* The "[[Pure Energy]] items are indestructible" thing shows up all the time in the [[Marvel Universe]].
* [[X -Men|Cyclops]] releases blasts of "pure concussive force" from his eyes.
* In the [[WITCH (Comic Book)W.I.T.C.H.|WITCH]] comic Will's element is defined as "Pure Energy" while the rest of the Guardians are a [[Four-Element Ensemble]]. In the TV series her element is defined as "Quintessence" which is basically [[Shock and Awe]] mixed with [[Lightning Can Do Anything]].

* In the [[Discworld]] book ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Sourcery|Sourcery]]'', a tower is built out of [[A Wizard Did It|pure magic]].

Line 76:
* In ''[[Transformers]]'', Energon, so near as we can tell, is [[Pure Energy]] which has been poured into a box for easy storage.
** The late G1 episode, "Call of the Primitives", featured a monster named Tornedron who was described as being made of "pure energy", thereby allowing him to assume many (apparently solid) forms and making him superior to Unicron, a being of matter... ''riiiight''.
** Other incarnations, like ''[[Beast Wars (Animation)|Beast Wars]]'', made Energon into a form of [[Green Rocks]] that generate a lot of power and have all sorts of funky effects.
** G1 Energon is weird. Any source of fuel can be poured into a cube made of... white outlines... and once inside, it promptly turns into glowy stuff that robots can ''drink'' or use to fuel stuff. All the other series (including ''[[Beast Wars (Animation)|Beast Wars]]'', which actually follows G1) treat it as a natural resource that can be mined. [[Made of Explodium|It still blows up if you rub it the wrong way]], though. Interestingly, most if not all weapons made of [[Pure Energy]] in ''Transformers'' are called "energon weapons". They seem to be quite solid. In ''[[Transformers Animated]]'', the shiny parts of a weapon that's mostly made of shiny can ''hold the solid parts in place.'' It's... pretty safe to say that it all runs on [[Rule of Cool]].
* In the movie ''[[Titan AEA.E.]]'', an ''entire race'' called the Drej and all of their ships and weapons are made of pure energy. The mind boggles.
** Of course, that stops bothering you once you see them use the Drej as a giant Battery.
* Dexter of ''[[DextersDexter's Laboratory]]'' once tried to produce pure energy in his laboratory. In the few moments before his machine crashed, it was depicted as a giant glowing atom (you get a better view of it in [[Cloudcuckoolander|his grandfather's]] [[The Cuckoolander Was Right|Rube Goldberg machine]]).
* Megabyte in ''[[Re Boot]]'' once extracted all the energy in Mainframe's core and converted it into a liquid state which was stored in a "transformer". But since this pure energy was unnatural it caused problems when the User loaded a game, including forcing the game to land on the Principal office, corrupting the game and turning Megabyte into a Megatruck.
