* {{Stargate SG-1}}: The Goa'uld hand device, useful for energy pulse attacks and brain scrambling.

Hand Blasts are a StockSuperpower where the character shoots blasts of energy out of their hands, palms, wrists, or fists. "Energy" in this case is a broad term, and can encompass nearly anything: a heat ray, laser bolts, concussive force, whatever. The subject simply points his hand (or finger) at a target, and a Bright Ray O' Doom shines forth.

* ''{{Vectorman}}'' has guns in the palms of his hands, combining features from both types.

Differs from KiAttacks and KamehameHadoken in that the Hand Blasts are not tied in to the subject's LifeEnergy or {{Mana}}; the energy source is often an external power source or some other form of AppliedPhlebotinum. Many instances of this trope imply that anyone can fire the blasts if they simply had the right equipment or circumstance.

* The Mighty Strobe in ''TheSpecials'' has this. Amok has something similar, except their source is more random, due to a slight case of {{power incontinence}}, meaning they can sometimes come out his dick.

* [[XMen The Sentinels]] are HumongousMecha that typically fire Hand Blasts in their mutant-hunting endeavors.
