History Main / MegatonPunch

* In the ''MarvelVsCapcom'' games, [[{{VideoGame/Cyberbots}} Jin Saotome's]] Heavy Punch attacks tend to be more Megaton than Fierce as it is. But he takes the cake with his [[LimitBreak Super]], Blodia Punch: Jin punches the opponent as hard as he can, followed almost immediately by the fist of his HumongousMecha.
** Don't forget about [[VideoGame/BionicCommando Spencer]]'s Bionic Lancer in ''MarvelVsCapcom3'':

* In ''Touhou Hisoutensoku'', Hong Meiling has Two Spellcards (Strike sign: "Roc Fist" and Fiery Attack: "Roc-killing fist") that throw the opponent in the sky, especially the first one if it's a counter-hit. She also has the Red-Cannon skill, which is a much weaker version of the two spellcards and only throws the enemy in a counter-hit (Otherwise he would only launched in mid-air).

* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' has the ''mother of all Megaton Punches'' in the ending, where [[spoiler:Bayonetta binds Jubileus, the god of her universe, with her hair, does an elaborate magical dance... and summons a gigantic avatar of herself, also from her hair, which proceeds to kiss her fist, wind up and PUNCH GOD IN THE SUN from past Neptune's orbit at faster-than-light speed.]] I'd say that about takes the cake...

*** Also, [[spoiler:she's not summoning an avatar of herself. She's summoning Queen Sheba, the setting's equivalent to SATAN to sucker-punch Jubileus!]]

When she hits him, he goes flying. Not just [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom across the room]] or even across the yard -- across town. Sometimes he reaches Low Earth Orbit -- or at least vanishes in ATwinkleInTheSky.

* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': Any time Ed or Al says something stupid to [[BadassTeacher Izumi]] they '''will'' be sent flying.

* [[CoolBigSis Hana]] of ''{{Kamen Rider Den-O}}'' is capable of punching anyone through the roof of a time-travelling train. Normally, the frequent victim of this would be the Imagin Momotaros. It doesn't stop him from TemptingFate and pressing her BerserkButton multiple times, however.

** Similar to the Dilbert example above, Garfield once [[http://garfield.nfshost.com/1984/06/29/ punted Odie]] ''[[http://garfield.nfshost.com/1984/07/02/ into next week]]''.

* In an episode of ''Manga/SoulEater'', [[spoiler:Maka receives one from Black*Star of all people.]]
** It ''was'' her suggestion, in order to make up after arguing with him.
** Though its technically a chop, not a punch [[GrimReaper Shinigama sama's]] Shinigami chop always leave a huge bump on someone head... and a crater in the ground [[LetsGetDangerous when he's serious]]
*** The correct spelling is '''SHINIGAMI CHOP!!!'''
** Maka herself often dishes these out as well, albeit using a book.

*** That was no ordinary scene; that was when they first met [[spoiler: as adults.]]

* In the famous comic-book series ''{{Asterix}}'', the magic-potion-powered Gauls frequently send Roman Legionnaires flying so high that they don't come down for several more panels.
** In the same vein, most of the time their sandals, shields and sometimes also the complete armour stays on the ground with their owner forcibly removed, so that when the legionnaire finally comes down, he does so in underwear only.
*** Convenient for Obelix, who, as a result of a bet in one of the early books, [[http://www.comedix.de/lexikon/db/img/helmspiel.gif collects their helmets]] as proof of having beaten more legionnaires than Asterix did.

*** Speaking of ''FinalFantasyX'', There's an OptionalBoss in the Monster Arena named Earth Eater that actually has an attack ''called'' "Megaton Punch" that can deal ''[[OneHitKill upwards of 50,000 damage]]'' if you haven't been LevelGrinding.

* ''HeroicAge''. Bellcross punches a [[BeyondTheImpossible BLACK HOLE]]. That is all.
** Punching stuff is ([[BreathWeapon almost]]) the only thing Bellcross ever does. [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer When his punches are powerful enough to cause planets to tremble...]]

* ''{{Pokemon}}'' has the move Mega Punch, which was called ''Megaton Punch'' in Japan. There's also the similarly named "Mega Kick".

* In ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'', taking a punch from one of the more powerful characters easily sent the victim several miles or further (this is probably what is expected, considering some punches are capable of breaking the sound barrier).
** Best example is when {{Superman}} delivers a punch on {{Darkseid}}. This is after Superman gives his WorldOfCardboardSpeech and reveals he's ready to cut loose on the one person in the universe he can hit ''at full power''...
*** To put this in perspective, with ''one punch'', Darkseid was sent sailing through ''seven'' skyscrapers, and ''kept going!'' The only thing that stopped him was Superman giving him a MeteorMove midflight.

* Superman in JusticeLeague against 10 from the Royal Flush gang, and a lot of other villains too for that matter.........
--> "Hold that thought".........."Superman just punched me all the way across town, and now I'm taking it out on you"
* Superman to Grodd with his index finger
* Basically Franchise/{{Superman}} everywhere, with everyone.........

"Hold that thought"
"Superman just punched all the way across town and now I'm taking it out on you"

* Lugnut's Punch Of Kill Everything from ''TransformersAnimated'', in which the character can create ''massive explosions'' (that leave him unharmed... unless [[HoistByHisOwnPetard triggered prematurely)]] by punching the ground or the target. In Japan, this weapon is actually ''called'' the Megaton Punch. Lugnut ''has'' combined the MegatonPunch with the RocketPunch.

** Taken to, perhaps, it's logical extreme in VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas. Take said Power Fist, attach a contact plate to the knuckles and connect said plate to a double barrel shotgun. [[YourHeadAsplode Boom.]]

* ''{{Bayonetta}}'' has the ''mother of all Megaton Punches'' in the ending, where [[spoiler:Bayonetta binds Jubileus, the god of her universe, with her hair, does an elaborate magical dance... and summons a gigantic avatar of herself, also from her hair, which proceeds to kiss her fist, wind up and PUNCH GOD IN THE SUN from past Neptune's orbit at faster-than-light speed.]] I'd say that about takes the cake...
