== Anime
* ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]''. Having a cyborg body helps.
* In the first episode of ''[[Murder Princess]]'', a group of bounty hunters bursts through a palace window on a motorcycle with balls of fire for wheels.
Line 225 ⟶ 226:
* Sal Walters, one of the [[Super Soldier|alien-enhanced abductees]] in ''[[It's Walky!]]'' jumps in and out through upper story windows more often than not, leading comments from her boyfriend about all the broken glass. The [[Big Bad]] eventually gets to cause an excellent anticlimactic moment with Sal-proofed windows. (She then promptly bursts through the ''floor'', but it was a good try.)
* Plasma-Man has done this [https://web.archive.org/web/20131027083333/http://amazingplasmaman.com/comics/32 at least] [https://web.archive.org/web/20131027095027/http://amazingplasmaman.com/comics/57/ twice] in ''[[The Incredible and Awe Inspiring Serial Adventure of The Amazing Plasma-Man]]''.
* In ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'', this is one of the special abilities of the Dashing Swordsman prestige class, [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0392.html which is demonstrated] right after Elan [[Took a Level in Badass|takes a level in it]].
** The trope is further lampshaded in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0471.html this strip], where Elan explains that the Dashing Swordsmen are immune to damage caused by sharp glass.
** This happens [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0589.html again], but it's the third dramatic entrance on the whole page.
