* In ''Literature/{{Worm}}'', Legend is most powerful character with this combination of powers in the setting, able to fire lasers that can turn corners, split into multiple beams, pass through walls, and freeze or ignite his targets.
** A number of other characters have similar powersets, although usually to a significantly lesser degree.

[[folder: Western Animation]]

* ''{{WesternAnimation/WITCH}}'': Will in the second season acquires her elemental power of Quintessence, which is manifested as devastating lightning bolts. Nerissa in her Guardian form has the same abilities and more experience (and usually power, as she doesn't divide her energy source with others).

* ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'': As in the cartoon, all Guardians can fly, so Taranee has been this since the beginning. Halinor too in Guardian form, and Nerissa after absorbing her in the Seal of Nerissa. And, of course, Ember the Pain.

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', in the series finale, while under the effects of [[AmplifierArtifact Sozin's Comet]] high level Firebenders are able to fly with bursts of fire from their hands or feet as an extension of ExplosionPropulsion.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': Starfire flings {{Energy Ball}}s from her hand and later gains EyeBeams of the same nature. She has various other ComboPlatterPowers as well.

A stock variant ComboPlatterPowers, where the powers are {{flight}} and the ability to fling {{fireballs}} or something. While a character is likely to have some elements of the FlyingBrick and RequiredSecondaryPowers, their primary combat style is built around flying around their opponents and shooting laser beams at them.

* BlowYouAway / RazorWind

* ''WebComics/{{Parimetra}}'': Antine, aka the superhero Torch, who's also one of the only heroes with [[OnePersonOnePower more than one power]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'': as in the cartoon all Guardians can fly, Taranee is this since the beginning. Halinor too in Guardian form, and Nerissa after absorbing her in the Seal of Nerissa. And, of course, Ember the Pain.

** ''ComicBook/{{Magneto}}'': he can throw around ShockAndAwe and pretty much everything else on the electromagnetic spectrum - though he's quite happy to use a large building instead.

* ''ComicBook/{{WITCH}}'': having the power of Absolute Energy, Will could fire death from her hands since the beginning, and became an example of FlyingFirepower when the ''New Power'' saga gave her the ability to fly.

* ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'': In this crossover Asuka Langley Sohryu - a. k. a., ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' - has Kryptonian DNA. Her powers include flight and heat vision.

* In Michael C. Bailey's ''Literature/ActionFigures - Issue One: Secret Origins'', Carrie's basic skill set.

** '''Tennyo''' flies, hurls plasma blasts, and more

* ''{{WesternAnimation/WITCH}}'': Will in second season aquires her elemental power of Quintessence, that manifests in devastating lightning bolts. Nerissa in her Guardian form has the same abilities and more experience (and usually power, as she doesn't divide her energy source with others).

* Halo has entirely too many powers (as does the Ray for that matter), but flight and energy blasts (what kind of energy is strictly DependingOnTheWriter) are always part of the package.

** Triumph and Aura both fire blasts of magnetic energy (Triumph is also a FlyingBrick, and Aura occasionally simulates one by using her magnetic powers to create suits of armor). Triumph is most famous for Justice League Task Force, while Aura was a member of Superboy and the Ravers.

** ''Franchise/GreenLantern'': The entire Franchise/GreenLantern Corps can do this. A notable example is Kilowogg; despite having the ability to [[ShapingYourAttacks construct objects with green energy]] like other Lanterns, he prefers using raw, unshaped blasts.

*** '''Mikail Tomas''': the most recent Starman has a body which is specifically built for outer space. In addition to being able to fly and survive in a vacuum, he can project energy blasts.

[[folder: Comic Book ]]

* ''[[ComicBook/MsMarvel Captain Marvel]]'': KiAttacks from her hands. However, she's got general FlyingBrick powers too, so she tends to switch between energy beams and brawling.
* ''ComicBook/{{Static}}'': With a piece of metal to hover on and some good old fashioned ShockAndAwe.
* ''ComicBook/{{Magneto}}'': he can throw around ShockAndAwe and pretty much everything else on the electromagnetic spectrum - though he's quite happy to use a large building instead.
* ''ComicBook/IronMan'': Flight and "repulsor beams" (name varies), one of the few instances where the same capability allows for both flight ''and'' energy blasts. The loads of [[MacrossMissileMassacre missiles]] and FrickinLaserBeams help too.
** Comicbook/WarMachine, being of a similar nature, has all of the above, plus a good old fashioned [[GatlingGood minigun]] on the shoulder.
* ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'': ComicBook/{{Starfire}} is a RubberForeheadAlien that flies and shoots energy blasts from her hands.

** In ''Comicbook/ManyHappyReturns'', Kara and Linda fight Rebel, a one-time villain who is super-strong, can fly and shoot energy blasts.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':
** Superman has EyeBeams, making him a FlyingBrick and FlyingFirepower. During his [[DorkAge Superman Red/Superman Blue phase]], like Captain Atom, he was basically a PureEnergy [[EnergyBeings Being]] in a containment suit.
** The suit was later inherited by [[IHaveManyNames Sharon Vance (aka Ahti aka Kismet aka Strange Visitor)]]. By the way, Kismet's true form is the ''AnthropomorphicPersonification of the [[CosmicBeing friggin' universe!]]''
** In ''Comicbook/KryptonNoMore'', Superman's rogues Protector and Radion can fly and shoot energy blasts.
* ''ComicBook/TheRay'': Possesses flight and [[LightEmUp light-based energy powers and beams.]] Pre-''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'', his power level had no cap; at certain points (ComicBook/ZeroHour being a notable example), he'd absorbed a pretty big share of ALL THE ENERGY IN THE UNIVERSE. This, coupled with the fact that he could move (and, thanks to a writer change, react) at the speed of light, instantly heal from all damage, shrink, cast illusions, and turn invisible, is probably why most writers either didn't bother to use him or picked three or four of his powers out of a hat and limited him to those.
* ''ComicBook/{{Firestorm}}'' (the current trope image right at the beginning): Firestorm possesses the power of the atom, able to fire nuclear energy as well as transmute matter.
* ''Franchise/GreenLantern'': The entire Franchise/GreenLantern Corps can do this. A notable example is Kilowogg; despite having the ability to [[ShapingYourAttacks construct objects with green energy]] like other Lanterns, he prefers using raw, unshaped blasts.
* ''ComicBook/{{Starman}}'':
** '''Mikail Tomas''': the most recent Starman has a body which is specifically built for outer space. In addition to being able to fly and survive in a vacuum, he can project energy blasts.
** '''David Knight''': Starman II, uses the Gravity Rod, which grants flight and the ability to absorb and fire solar energy.
** '''The Cosmic Staff''', the main weapon used by Starman III (Jack Knight) and Stargirl, grants flight and the ability to project cosmic energy.
** '''Ted Knight''': the original Starman, used ''both'' of the aforementioned weapons.
* ''ComicBook/CaptainAtom'': The titular captain is living atomic energy contained inside a nigh-indestructible metal suit. In addition to being a FlyingBrick, he can fire the energy or, if his suit is ruptured, [[SuperpowerMeltdown it will erupt from his body on its own, possibly causing a nuclear explosion]].
** Come DC's 2011 reboot, he's a walking reactor, the atoms in his body in a constant cycle of fission and fusion - with no metal suit. His powers remain much the same.
** Breach is the Captain Atom of Earth-8, so he pretty much has the exact same powers.
* ''ComicBook/BoosterGold'': Booster wears a super suit from the future, which includes gadgets for flying and firing lasers.
* ''ComicBook/BlueBeetle'': The Scarab grants Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) various powers, including protective armor, flight, and energy blasts.

* ComicBook/JeanGrey has this as one of her go-to strategies with or without the Phoenix, with her younger temporally displaced self displaying this against the Shi'ar Imperial Guard during ''The Trial of Jean Grey''.
** Her daughter, Rachel, spent ten years as the Host of the Phoenix. It's safe to say that she did a ''lot'' of this, against the likes of Galactus and the Beyonder (though in the former case, that was the Phoenix possessing her).
* ComicBook/CaptainUniverse: Pretty much living cosmic energy. It possesses a random person in the universe (including Franchise/SpiderMan and ComicBook/{{X 23}} at different points) and grants them Class 4 SuperWeight cosmic powers.
* ''ComicBook/SilverSurfer'': As a former herald of ComicBook/{{Galactus}}, Norrin Radd is nigh-omnipotent. On his own, he can fly at warp speeds and fire devastatingly powerful energy blasts. But that's only the ''tip'' of the [[RealityWarper iceberg.]]
* Triumph and Aura both fire blasts of magnetic energy (Triumph is also a FlyingBrick, and Aura occasionally simulates one by using her magnetic powers to create suits of armor). Triumph is most famous for Justice League Task Force, while Aura was a member of Superboy and the Ravers.
* Dr. Light (Kimiyo Hoshi) has basically the same powers as the Ray, only not as many of them and not quite to the same degree.
* Airwave has nebulously defined "radio" powers that involve energy blasts.
* Zip Kid, from ComicBook/YoungHeroesInLove, can shrink, fly, and shoot energy blasts. The smaller she gets, the faster she is, and the more powerful her energy blasts, IIRC.
