Time Stands Still: Difference between revisions

* Sara Waite does this once in the [[Whateley Universe]], speeding up fast enough to save someone who is ''currently'' being shot in the head. She does have superpowers: she's actually a Great Old One. Still, her superspeed means she has no light to see with, the friction from the air molecules burns her clothes and skin off, her speed causes her to punch through several walls before she finally stops, she ends up embedded in a bank vault wall, and it takes time for her body to grow back afterward. Ick. At which point she's naked.

* Dan from ''[[Trinton Chronicles]]'' has this power. He also has a few [[Required Secondary Powers]] which act as a fail-safe to this ability and prevents him from creating holes or friction burns on objects and people, allows him to see as if everything was at normal pace (this could also be explained by the fact that he isn't moving faster than light), and gives him the ability to breathe even if the air seems to become slightly more like water. This time-stopping power is his most power gift but he rarely uses it, instead relying on the ability to [[Time Master|decelerate or accelerate]] people and objects in time.

* [[YouTube]] TV show [[Po Ps]] has a character with this as her superpower.

* [[Big Bad|Nox]] from ''[[Wakfu]]'' is a [[Sdrawkcab Name|Xelor]], a race of beings with the power to manipulate time. So far, he hasn't ''stopped'' time per se, but he has slowed it down to the point where everything appears to have stopped. Furthermore, anyone who manages to break his spell suffers from [[Rapid Aging]] and other debilitating side-effects.

* ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'': "Time Teasers," another time-freezing comedy. The Beagle Boys get their hands on a device invented by Gyro Gearloose that lets the user stop time, and attempt to use it to rob Scrooge's money bin. However, a [[Phlebotinum Breakdown]] ends up transporting them back to the days of [[pirate]]s. Earlier in the same episode, Huey, Dewey, and Louie also use this watch to put their favorite baseball team ahead 32 to 16. They still lose.
