** [[BloodMagic Hemalurgy]], an inherently destructive use of metal spikes to steal attributes from others and transfer them to another. It involves [[spoiler: killing the "donor" with the spike to extract the attribute from them and then pounding it into the body of the "recipient". Doing both at the same time boosts the effect.]] Hemalurgy is also how [[spoiler: koloss, kandra, and Inquisitors]] are created. Hemalurgy is [[spoiler: the power of [[BigBad the god Ruin]]]].

* ComicBook/{{Magneto}} can not only affect magnetic forces and metals, but generally can also manipulate and shape non-magnetic metals just as easily.

** Magneto takes it further than even manipulation of metals; electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental interactive forces of the universe (the others being gravity, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force). Unlike many characters with similar powers, Magneto is well aware of this. At times, he's pulled off feats like locally negating gravity (causing [[HumongousMecha killer Sentinel robots]] to be hurled into space by Earth's rotation), and he routinely uses his powers to create a forcefield around his body, which can even hold in oxygen (needless to say, neither metal nor magnetic) when he feels like spacewalking without a spacesuit.
*** So powerful is his full range of abilities, most adaptations of Magneto have to severely limit his powers down to the most basic form of metal manipulation, NotQuiteFlight and electromagnetic shields. Any more and it risks becoming a StoryBreakerPower.

* [[spoiler: Peridot]] discovers that she has ferrokinetic abilities in the ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' episode "Too Short To Ride", and has steadily been improving them over time. She lands the finishing blow on [[spoiler: Jasper]] in "Earthlings", running her through with a piece of rebar, and by the time of "The New Crystal Gems" she's able to lift an entire car into the air with relatively little effort.

* Perepis of the ''Roleplay/GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'' can telekinetically manipulate metal, as can Ogun (who wears a suit of telekinetically manipulated "PoweredArmor"). Mercury, a liquid-metal shapeshifter akin to the [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay T-1000]] can form his own body into various metallic shapes.

* [[ComicBook/XMen Spiral]] is given one move in [[VideoGame/CapcomVsWhatever all of the fighting games she is featured in]]; the ability to create and manipulate swords. They float behind her and augment her attack.

Some ElementalPowers let you control [[PlayingWithFire fire]], [[MakingASplash water]], [[BlowYouAway air]] or [[DishingOutDirt earth]]. Some even let you control [[ShockAndAwe lightning]]; [[AnIcePerson ice]]; [[GreenThumb plants]]; {{light|EmUp}}; [[CastingAShadow darkness]]; [[PureEnergy arcane forces]], [[FunctionalMagic magic]], or [[MindOverMatter the]] [[PsychicPowers mind]]; and even [[HeartBeatDown heart.]] (That is when not a victim of WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway) This, however, is power over '''metal'''. (Not [[ThePowerOfRock that kind of metal]]; the shiny stuff.) It generally allows one to control metal, although it may even include being made of metal and using one's body to attack.

* Risotto Nero and his Stand Metallica from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' Part 5. Interesting that his only use of magnetism crosses with BloodyMurder. He has the ability to transform the iron in a person's bloodstream into any kind of sharp metal objects he pleases, while the iron is still inside the person's body.
** Maria in Part 3. Her stand, Bast, has the ability to give people a magnetic center, causing metal to slowly drift towards them and build speed.

* Creator/MilestoneComics' also has Iron Butterfly from Shadow Cabinet who has the ability to manipulate any metal or metallic object. Unlike Static this ability is not magnetic in nature but is the psionic ability over all metal.

* ComicBook/CosmicBoy, one of the three founders and the usual leader of the ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}}, can manipulate metal through magnetism. Unlike Magneto he cannot manipulate non-magnetic metals with his powers, though he can get rather creative with what he can manipulate and small imperfections and inclusions of magnetic materials in things is enough for him to work with. He has refined his magnetism delicately enough to be essentially a technopath when he wants, which tends to surprise opponents.

** Feruchemy, which allows for an EquivalentExchange wherein the feruchemist takes something from themselves, be it physical strength, knowledge, speed, weight, or sensory ability and "stores" it in metal to draw upon it later.

* In ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'', the title character, Misaka Mikoto, whose main power is ShockAndAwe, at one time manipulates iron sand into ''[[WhipItGood whips]]''. And uses it to stick to walls... and to disarm people with guns... and to instantly form shields in front of herself... And of course the titular Railgun. Seems like this is closer to her main power, in the way she actually uses it. Or rather, the series [[LightningCanDoAnything make no distinction and her power is simply Electromagnetism]].

* The InverseLawOfComplexityToPower- "metal" is a very broad term, and all metals are very utilitarian, so even if what can be done with the metal is narrowly defined, (shaping it, magnetizing it, moving it...) it's still capable of many things.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' has the Steel-type. Mons with this typing tend to be either powerful defenders (like Skarmory), potent tanks (like Metagross and in the lower tiers Aggron), or [[LightningBruiser Lightning Bruisers]] (like Scizor, Lucario and Excadrill). Part of this is due to having the largest spread of elemental resistances in the game at 10 (formerly 11) and an immunity to Poison and Toxic statuses. It would be a good candidate for InfinityPlusOneElement itself, except that the few weaknesses it has - Ground and Fighting in particular - are very commonly found in the game and are downright ''ubiquitous'' on competitive teams. While Ground and Fighting are powerful attacking types on their own, it's safe to say a lot of their value comes from their ability to hit Steel-types hard. Most dual-typings with Steel tend to negate one or more of those weaknesses though. Moves of this type usually revolve around turning part of the Pokémon's body to metal and using it to attack (Steel Wing, Metal Claw, Iron Tail, etc).0

* In TheIncredibleHulk's third or so issue he faces off against an alien called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Metal Master]] who promptly waltzes over Hulk. Hulk comes back for round two with a gun that Banner and Rick Jones have made, which the Metal Master can't control. Hulk promptly knocks him out [[spoiler: because the gun was made of cardboard]].

* In modern series, ElementalBaggage isn't a problem for metal (if it's even in play at all), so while your enemies may be caught without [[MakingASplash water]] or [[DishingOutDirt dirt]] to use, you'll never have to worry as long as you're anywhere near civilization.
