* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': After Arthur has accidentally angered Binky, he has an {{ImagineSpot}} where Binky punches him and Buster so hard they end up flying into outer space.

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

* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' has the adult Mushroom People. They look fairly goofy, move slow, and up to that point you've been fighting the young versions, which are absolutely pathetic.

* VideoGame/SuperSmashBros is where [[VideoGame/FZero Captain Falcon's]] famous [[MemeticMutation "Falcon Punch"]] originated.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'', Drogoz's ultimate is the "Dragon Punch", which launches him at high speed to [[OneHitKill one shot]] a single enemy with a jet-powered punch, regardless of their health or shields. "[[BadassBoast BEHOLD! THE DRAGON'S FURY!]]"

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'': Jean-Paul Beaubier (this verse's Flash) does the Infinite Mass Punch trick against [[spoiler:[[BigBad Chthon]]]], fully conscious that it could end up killing him.

* In ''VideoGame/DynamiteDuke'', the strongest of Duke's melee attacks is the [[ChargedAttack charged-up]] "Dynamite Punch."

* [[CoolBigSis Hana]] of ''Series/KamenRiderDenO'' 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.

* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'': Deconstructed. Asuka gives one to Shinji after their [[OldSchoolDogFight dog fight]]. She got a very severe reprimand of Misato, who warned her that behavior was unacceptable and would not be tolerated.tack.
* During the FinalBattle of ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', [[SuperSpeed Jean-Paul]] taps into the [[ComicBook/TheFlash Speed Force]] and proceeds to run around the planet until he hits light speed and thus infinite mass, before hitting the [[EldritchAbomination Chthon]]-possessed [[EvilSorcerer Gravemoss]]. This not only separates the two, but either vaporizes Gravemoss or sends him into orbit (it's left unclear which, actually).

A punch so strong it doesn't just send it's target [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom across the room]]; it sends them across town, or to another state, or even another country. Sometimes reaching Low Earth Orbit and vanishing as ATwinkleInTheSky.

When this punch is delivered, it doesn't just send them [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom across the room]] or even across the yard -- across town. Or to another state, or even another country. Sometimes he reaches Low Earth Orbit -- or at least vanishes in ATwinkleInTheSky.

This is usually an adaptation of a [[OverusedGag one-panel gag]] the animators end up having fun with, although the usual treatment is to make it so [[RefugeInAudacity over the top]] that it's not mistaken for real violence.

PunchedAcrossTheRoom is a more low-key, 'serious' version of this trope, despite being no less physically implausible.

* BittersweetCandyBowl has Lucy, who uses this trope, particularly earlier in the comic. She seems to lose the ability over time, as the comic becomes more serious.

* The various incarnations of the Jack robots in the ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' series have an attack that's actually called the Megaton Punch. It hits hard and on a counter will send your opponent flying across the arena (on a normal hit it just sends them flying halfway across the arena).
