Line 22:
* ''[[Ranma ½]]''
** Ranma can run up vertical things like powerline poles or horizontally on walls. In fact, in the first Kodachi storyline, he actually scurries up the dojo wall and across the ceiling in the exact same manner as Spider-Man.
* In the "[[Martial Arts and Crafts|Martial Art Tea Ceremony]]" storyline, the Daimonji elder demonstrates that she can sit seiza-style ''on the ceiling''. She's holding
* ''[[Hellsing (anime)|Hellsing]]'' : Both Alucard and Tubalcain display this ability in their fight in the 3rd OVA.
* ''[[Heroman]]'': Heroman has achieved this by using his magnetic powers to cling to metal surfaces.
Line 53:
* ''[[Alien (franchise)|Alien]]'': In the second movie of the franchise, the aliens are shown crawling a ceiling. This has been adapted in later movies and been made extensive use of in the ''Aliens vs. Predator'' games, as alien players are able to change to wall-crawling mode and thus traverse any surface, no matter if vertical or even upside down by simply walking towards it.
* ''[[The Exorcist]]'' has scenes involving the possessed girl crawling across the walls and ceilings as well, at least on the extended re-cut. ''The Exorcist III'' has a creepy granny-on-ceiling moment.
* ''[[Resident Evil (film)|Resident Evil]]'': The
* The original 1978 ''[[Superman (film)|Superman]]'' movie (of the suction cups variety).
* In '' [[Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol]]'', Ethan has to scale the outside of the Burj Khalifa using ''gloves.'' It would be [[Beyond the Impossible]], but this ''is'' [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Mission Impossible]].
Line 69:
== Live-Action TV ==
* Part of Mohinder's new-found lizard-ness in ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' allows him to do this.
* Examined and attempted by the ''[[Myth Busters]]''
{{quote|'''Adam:''' Why, Thor the God of Thunder is trying to enter my building!}}
* ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' episode "The Winged Avenger" has magnetic boots used to scale walls.
* The spider-like Replicators from ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' can move over any surface. Including one that crawled over Jack O'Neill during his first encounter with them, to his great disgust.
* In the ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' season 5 episode [[Stargate Atlantis/Recap/S05/E07 Whispers|"Whispers"]], the hybrid creatures created by Michael can wall-
* Raina from ''[[Cleopatra 2525]]''.
* Some of the Suliban on ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' have acquired this ability.
Line 100:
** Sonic himself, and pretty much every other character as well, can run on walls in any direction indefinitely, provided they keep going fast enough. At least, [http://youtube.com/watch?v=ze582VGaAkY that's the theory...] And provided the floor leading up to the wall is a ramp of increasing incline. Fortunately, in Sonic's world [[Benevolent Architecture|it frequently is]]. Sonic is capable of doing this when there is water falling down the wall.
** In ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2006'', in a section of the destroyed future's volcano (Magma Core), there is a wall dash section that leads to a ceiling area you can run across. If you stop during the ceiling section, you'll find that it is rather tricky to ''get off'' of it.
** ''3D Sonic'' games have included designated jump
** The Wii-exclusive Pink Wisp in ''[[Sonic Colors]]'', which covers Sonic in spikes (more so than usual) and allows him to climb walls and ceilings.
* While this might be less wall crawling and more like Spider-Man's web slinging, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'' allows Link to zip from wall to wall with [[Guns Akimbo|two]] separate [[Grappling Hook Pistol|clawshots]].
Line 114:
* The title character of the game ''Gex'', who is, naturally, a gecko.
* Strider Hiryu from the ''[[Strider Hiryu|Strider]]'' series. In the first game and its sequel (as well as the ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom]]'' series), he uses a special hook claw that allows him to climb any surface, vertical wall and hang from ceiling structures. In the [[NES]] game, he can obtain magnetic boots that let him walk up conveniently placed magnetic walls and ceilings.
** Both of Strider's [[Spiritual Successor
** Which is also the case with Strider's [[Follow the Leader|SNES expy]], ''[[Run Saber]]''.
* Ryu Hyabusa from ''[[Ninja Gaiden]]'' started with the ability to cling to walls but not climb (except through triple jumps and a tricky form of boomerang jumping). Later games gave him the full ability to climb up and down most walls he grabbed onto.
Line 156:
** The Dai Li wear gloves and shoes made of stone. Using [[Elemental Powers|Earthbending]] not only makes that workable in the first place, but it allows the Dai Li to bond these accessories to stone walls and ceilings, allowing them super-crawling ability.
** And Toph, who follows the same trick {{spoiler|with ''metal'', which is supposed to be unbendable}}.
** Suki manages something similar, though she's [[Badass Normal|not a bender]]
* Nightbird, a robot ninja from the episode ''Enter The Nightbird of'' ''[[Transformers|Transformers Generation 1]]'', has this power. It initially seemed to be due to magnetic feet, but then she used it to walk up a cliff.
* One of Danny's abilities in ''[[Danny Phantom]]'', though he rarely uses it. 'Course, considering he can just fly around, it's no wonder this is one of the ''least'' used of his bag of tricks.
