* In Fanfic/TheUnlikelyAlly, in chapter 16, Homura freezes time to decide what to do with a strange eldritch creature known as Marethil. To her shock and great anxiety Marethil [[NoSell No Sell's]] the fact that time is stopped. He states that this is due to him being rather 'in tune' with the universe and sensitive to strange anomalies.

* Apparently this is one of the powers granted to the user of the Soul Gem in Marvel. Adam Warlock was able to ignore a timestop from a user of the Time Gem, by pulling him into the dimension of Soul World, where time has no meaning.

* Subverted in "The Execution Ended At 3 O'Clock", part of Creator/OsamuTezuka's ''Clockwork Apple'' anthology: A captured Nazi war criminal, who secretly stole a liquid that makes time slow down when ingested, plans to escape his execution by firing squad this way... [[spoiler:Only to find that it's also slowed ''him'' down, so he's just left waiting an agonizingly long time for the bullets to finally reach him.]] There's some slight foreshadowing: the Jewish scientist he tortured for the formula presumably already tested it and knew it didn't work that way; instead of using the formula to try to escape, he simply used it to combat sleep deprivation by getting a full night's sleep in the blink of an eye.

** Daphne can use her SuperSpeed to move normally when Hiro stops time, implying that he merely slows it down rather than stopping it.

** In ''A Game of Cat and Cat'', Jun can NoSell Soma's [[TimeStandsStill time stop]] because his Persona is Chronos. It's implied he can also no-sell Tatsuya's time stops.

** In the anime, Hit's time leap/time skip allows him to travel .01 seconds into the future, making time appear frozen for the time skips duration. This gives him an enormous speed advantage over the cast, with even Goku, who can teleport through time and space, struggling to keep up. However, that's not this trope. When Hit fights Jiren, the strongest known mortal in all of the universes, Jiren proves so quick Hit needs to use time skip just to keep up with him, but then Hit decides that rather than use time skip to increase his own speed he uses time skip in reverse on Jiren to freeze him in a "cage of time". This only works for a minute before Jiren starts marching towards Hit, leading spectators to proclaim Jiren has "surpassed time".
** In the manga Hit's time skip freezes an individual target in time. How long the target stays frozen depends on how strong they are in relation to hit. This means it can easily be countered by someone sufficiently stronger than him, such as a powered-up Goku or [[WorldsStrongestMan Jiren]], meaning the infamous comment that Jiren is "stronger than time" holds a lot less weight in the manga continuity...at first. Hit later introduces the even more bonkers "time lag" ability that still fails to defeat Jiren, though it still not an example of ''frozen'' [[YearInsideHourOutside time]].

** ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]'': [[spoiler:Before Pucci's evolved Stand, C-Moon, can obtain its final evolution, Jotaro stops time and throws a javelin aimed at his face, yet since gravity is a force that transcend dimensions and Pucci's C-Moon powers are based around such force, Pucci is able to barely move a little in order to partially dodge the javelin and survive.]]

* In ''Literature/{{Momo}}'', time stops when [[TimeMaster Master Hora]] sleeps. When this happens, only a few beings can still move around: Cassiopeia the tortoise, as part of her time-based powers; the Grey Men, who are implied to be ''made of'' (corrupted) ''time'', and whoever holds a time flower.

* ''Manga/TimeStopBrave'': Kuzuno Sekai can freeze time and he can summon a golem he named Gankichi. Normally, if Gankichi was active when he freezes time, it would be frozen like everyone else, but he learns that if he freezes time and then summons Gankichi, it can move.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': In "[[Recap/TeenTitansS4E3Birthmark Birthmark]]", as the Titans fight a [[CameBackStrong resurrected and empowered]] Slade, Raven [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands spontaneously]] and accidentally freezes time. [[HopeSpot After pausing for a moment]], Slade is revealed to be immune to the spell, and so Raven only managed to cut herself off from her allies, though she quickly unfreezes Robin afterward.

* One of the many ways ''Videogame/MegaManX'' is superior to [[Videogame/MegaManClassic Rock]]'' is that X can shrug off time stoppers and move like they're not in affect less than a second after they're activated.

* In ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', the effects of Hit's Time Freeze can be countered by someone sufficiently stronger than him (such as a powered-up Goku or [[WorldsStrongestMan Jiren]]). This leads to the infamous comment that Jiren is "stronger than time".

* ''VideoGame/KoumajouDensetsuII'''s Red Archer Fairies are some of the only enemies that are immune to Sakuya's [[TimeStandsStill time-stopping abilities]].
