History Main / MegatonPunch

* "WesternAnimation/{{HeathCliffAndTheCatillacCats}}" Sonja dishing up some comeuppance inside of a a BigBallOfViolence against Terrible Tammy...
[[ViolentlyJealousGirlfriend Sonja]]: "If I ever catch you bothering Heathcliff again, you'll answer to me!" (Hastily ends with this trope).

* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'': This is the special superpower of the Tiger Miraculous, Clout, as used by [[spoiler: Juleka Couffaine when she becomes Purple Tigress in channeling all her frustration about her arguing parents into a punch that sends both of their akumatized forms into the stratosphere]].

* Justified in ''Literature/BewareOfChicken'' by Jin being a cultivator with access to immense quantities of [[KiManipulation qi]]. His target [[spoiler:Lu Ban]] simply ''vanishes'' from sight, but is later revealed to have flown hundreds of kilometres and crashed into a mountain, causing a rockslide.

* In the crossover fic ''Fanfic/TheShieldsDragon'', [[VideoGame/LikeADragon Kazuma Kiryu]] is granted these powers as he was summoned to the ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' universe as the Gauntlet Hero. Many man-shaped craters have since appeared in the presence of the Dragon of Doujima when he gets sufficiently pissed off.

* Jack from ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' and his various versions uses a Megaton Punch and/or a Gigaton punch that fits the bill by being heavily telegraphed and absolutely devastating if landed. He leans back on one foot, then begins winding his arm. At one or two rotations, his punch will stagger the opponent. At three or more, it becomes unblockable. At five rotations, it becomes a OneHitKill to whatever idiot was dumb enough to stand there watching him do this instead of hitting him or getting out of the way. Rodger, Alex, and Rodger Jr have a variant of the same attack, but it goes off much faster, moving it into the [[AwesomeButImpractical actually useful in some situations]] category.

* ''Fanfic/SixesAndSevens'': Pat Mason, who's based on the Golden Age character [[ComicBook/TheInvadersMarvelComics Thunderfist]], is mentioned early on to have "a mean right hook" as his only power. But when he reappears in ''Agent Carter: Phantom Pain'', he's obtained a gauntlet-like devise that lets him unleash powerful shockwaves after punching the ground.

* Amy Rose has her Megaton Hammer, which is useful for knocking around VideoGame/{{Sonic|TheHedgehog}}.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'': [[LightningBruiser Jean-Paul]] [[SuperSpeed Beaubier]] runs around the world to reach the speed of light, thus making his Megaton Punch carry infinite kinetic energy when he strikes [[spoiler:Gravemoss]]. The remains of the body are said to have probably reached Jupiter's orbit a minute or so later.
* Mitsumi in ''Fanfic/CloseButNoCoffee'' often reacts to Jun's flirting physically. She punches him a lot, but [[DoggedNiceGuy he always tries later]].
* ''Webcomic/NaruHinaChronicles'': Hinata does this to Kiba after [[ThanksForTheMammary he accidentally grabbed her left breast instead of her left hand]].
* In the crossover fic ''Fanfic/TheShieldsDragon'', [[VideoGame/LikeADragon Kazuma Kiryu]] is granted these powers as he was summoned to the ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' universe as the Gauntlet Hero. Many man-shaped craters have since appeared in the presence of the Dragon of Doujima when he gets sufficiently pissed off.

** Actually, [[spoiler:his own strength would've been enough. Nora just wanted to participate. In the process, the double punch changes the trajectory of a piece of debris (that's now a meta-object), and a different man becomes the new BigBad Cicada]].

PunchedAcrossTheRoom is a more low-key, 'serious' version of this trope. See PowerFist for another way to punch somebody really hard.

-->'''Dag''': *looks at the calendar* Hey...he ''didn't'' bop me into last week! *looks outside the window* Eeeh. If I may borrow a phrase from my brother Norbert... '''[[FalseReassurance HE BOPPED ME INTO THE DAWN OF TIME!!!]]'''

* In ''Animation/HappyHeroes'', due to his SuperStrength, Happy S.'s {{signature|Attack}} Happy S. Punch often sends his foes flying into the sky.

* Get out of the way when Turtle Rock mid-boss Blaino goes for a ''long'' wind-up in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening'', or he'll send you back to the entrance!

-->“Could try this,” said Kara, and hit him with an uppercut that knocked him into the air.

** [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Ganondorf]], being a [[MovesetClone semi-clone]] of Captain Falcon, possesses his own version of the Falcon Punch - named the Warlock Punch. It amplifies the AwesomeButImpractical aspect of the Falcon Punch - It's even ''slower'', but it hits ''hard'' - '''''really''''' hard. How hard? The "reverse" Warlock Punch is considered to be one of the single most powerful moves in each of the games it appears in, coming very close to OneHitKill potential (if not outright being an OHKO under certain circumstances, such as with [[ComebackMechanic Rage]] in ''4''). It's incredibly hard to hit, as it's even more predictable than the Falcon Punch, but when it does, well...
** [[VideoGame/PunchOut Little Mac]] possesses a unique mechanic straight from his home series, where his power meter builds up as he deals or takes damage (it builds more quickly if he takes damage). If his power meter has yet to be filled, his neutral special is the Straight Lunge, a charged punch that can be thrown at any time (but cannot be manually interrupted once he starts charging) that sends Mac rocketing forward, dealing average to incredibly high knockback depending on how long it was charged. If the power meter is full, Little Mac can unleash the K.O. Uppercut. If he connects with the uppercut, time slows to zoom in on the unfortunate victim of the punch as they're instantly KO'd off the top of the screen. Both of these attacks double as AwesomeButImpractical as a fully charged Straight Lunge leaves Little Mac incredibly vulnerable if he misses (or simply open to a free grab mid-charge), and his power meter depletes if Little Mac doesn't utilize the K.O. Uppercut soon after building up power, and similarly to the Straight Lunge, if he misses he's wide open.

* In ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'' and its remake, Kirby delivers one to King Dedede at the end of Spring Breeze. Done in an awesome way in the remake exclusive Revenge of the King's final boss, Masked Dedede. Bonus points if you finish him off with Hammer Flip as Hammer Kirby. (Ironically enough, ''Super Star'' also happens to have a minigame ''named'' "Megaton Punch", but that's where the applicability to this trope ends; rather than involving sending anyone into space, the minigame revolves around trying to punch as big of a crack into a stack of cinder blocks as possible, with stronger punches penetrating the planet itself.)

* Foxy and Freddy get this when they go to Punch-in-the-face-a-Thon and then they come back [[ShowsDamage bloodied and bruised]] in Roberta Hogan's Milkshake! Mix video "It's Funny Cuz He Bleed Himself!". PUNCHPUNCHPUNCHPUNCHPUNCH! (Foxy: [[NonSequiturThud WOOOOOOOA!!! *ker-thud*]])

* In the crossover fic ''Fanfic/TheShieldsDragon'', Kazuma Kiryu is granted these powers as he was summoned to the ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' universe as the Gauntlet Hero. Many man-shaped craters have since appeared in the presence of the Dragon of Doujima when he gets sufficiently pissed off.

** ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': Hulk gave one to Thor that sent him several blocks away.
** ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'': Kitty can ramp up her density enough to send Spider-Man flying.
* ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'': In one issue, Carol Danvers returns to Xavier's mansion after an extended absence to find that Rogue, the woman who stole Carol's powers and memories, is here. In response, Carol -- who has recently gained a new powerset -- uppercuts Rogue so hard that the latter smashes through the roof and ends up in deep space.

* In the crossover fic ''Fanfic/TheShieldsDragon'', Kazuma Kiryu is granted these powers as he was summoned to the ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' universe as the Gauntlet Hero. Many man-shaped craters have since appeared in the presence of the Dragon of Doujima when he gets sufficiently pissed off.
