* ''WebOriginal/AcademyOfSuperheroes'': A rare case of the antagonist using this ''on himself''. The hero, a GravityMaster, pins him to an asteroid that's heading for Earth and leaves him to die. Fortunately for him, the villain was TheSmartGuy of his team and [[http://books.google.com/books?id=89fxlVBylfEC&pg=PA8&dq=electromagnetism+%22stronger+than+gravity%22&hl=en&ei=DXHtTbeiL8TDgQfA0rXYCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=electromagnetism%20%22stronger%20than%20gravity%22&f=false an electrokinetic.]]

* ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' features the "Bucking Bronco" vigor, which allows Booker to release a blast of energy that launches most enemies into the air, helplessly dangling mid-air for several seconds for you to blast them down with your guns or [[AbilityMixing combo with other vigors]]. While [[NoSell it doesn't work on especially big enemies]] like automatons and [[GiantMook Handymen]], it very much does for other [[EliteMook "Heavy Hitters"]] the size of an average soldier, making it a cheap and incredibly useful form of utility.

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'': Any military-grade ship worth its salt [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2004-01-21 can selectively turn off gravity on its own decks]]. Really ''dangerous'' military-grade ships, like UNS Battleplates, can do it against [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2004-02-27 people on other ships]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'': One of Graviton's tactics.

** An episode of ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' deals with a character who comes from a planet with very little gravity who must get around in a wheelchair, because medical treatment to acclimate her to normal gravity would make it impossible for her to return to her homeworld for extended periods. In the climax, she's able to save a captured shuttle crew by turning off the gravity and kicking the hostage-takers' asses in zero-g.
** ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' presents the opposite approach to this trope, in an episode where a dangerous alien is defeated by ''increasing'' the gravity over the deck plates it is walking on. This causes the reptilian biped to heave onto the floor and remain trapped there for a few seconds before it is shot to death.

* Subverted/Defied in ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}''. [[KnifeNut Lariska]] is aware of this trope, so when she is assigned to kill a [[GravityMaster Toa of Gravity]], she first spends quite some time using levitation disks to practice fighting/assassination/both in zero-g conditions.

** Part of Rocket's plan of escaping the Kyln in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' involves disabling the artificial gravity everywhere in the prison ''but'' the watchtower in the center, which the heroes have broken into. Cue Kyln guards with rocket launchers flailing helplessly.
** Some bank robbers equipped with The Vulture's ImportedAlienPhlebotinum levitate Spider-Man with an Anti-Gravity Gun in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''. The Vulture lator vaporises a mook who was threatening to blackmail him but admits he picked up the wrong gun an wanted the [=AGG=].
* ''Film/{{Moonraker}}''. Drax's space station has artificial gravity due to rotation[[note]] even though this makes no sense in terms of its design[[/note]]. As the NASA shuttle with the Marines aboard is about to be lasered, Bond pushes a button that fires the station's thrusters and stops its rotation. The station goes to zero G and everybody floats into the air as Bond and his allies escape.

* Variation in the classic 1970s ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' story "Who took the Super out of Superman?" Clark has lost his powers, but finds himself as Clark Kent having to track down a gang. He brings along an anti-gravity device and handily takes them all down because as Superman he's experienced in zero gravity and they are not.

* Used in ''ComicBook/TheTransformers'' comic. When a corrupted matrix-posessed decepticon leader enters the autobot ship in one of their shuttles and starts demolishing the autobots, one of the heroes turns off the gravity and opens the airlock, allowing a single harpoon shot to push the monster out into space.

* Inverted in Creator/SergeyLukyanenko's ''[[Literature/TheStarsAreColdToys Star Shadow]]''. When Colonel Danilov decides to take the Geometer scoutship back to Earth over Pyotr's objections, Danilov tries to fight him for it. Being a war vet and an experienced cosmonaut, trained in zero-g fighting, he forgets that the Geometer ship has ArtificialGravity and tries to fight as if he's in zero-g (he strikes and gently pushes off the floor to float to the ceiling). Pyotr, having gotten used to the Geometer ship, fights as if he's on solid ground and wins. Then Danilov's partner hits him with a StunGun.
