* Marsha in ''[=~College Roomies From Hell!!!~=]''. After being bitten months ago by vampire potatoes. She found out when she was about to kill herself by jumping off a tall building, but changed her mind, but then the cat with a piece of Dave's soul surprised her and she fell off.

* InteractiveFiction example: ''{{Photopia}}''. [[spoiler:The way to escape TheMaze is to 'go up'.]]. The author [[http://adamcadre.ac/content/phaq.txt mentioned]] that he got the idea from Roy Hansens's ''Mariette in Ecstasy''.

It's the endgame at last, or at least close to it. The heroes have fought past the {{Mooks}}, dealt with the QuirkyMinibossSquad, even defeated TheDragon. They've caught up to the BigBad, and now it's time to rescue the hostage, and finally put a stop to their nemesis. There's just one problem: the BigBad is [[LargeAndInCharge big]]. Really, ''really'' big, and tall. Or, he's flying. Either way, the spot they need to reach to get to the hostage is very high up off the ground. There's ''no way'' they'd be able to reach that without flying.

* The MusicVideo for Asian Kung Fu Generation's "After Dark" features a man randomly sprouting wings on his back one day, and desperately hiding them until some window-washer is dangerously close to falling off a building. Awesomeness Ensues.

* ''{{Pokemon}}'' has a weird example where a ''Leafeon'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNpOawWsFnA suddenly sprouts wings]] as a result of its Aerial Ace attack and teammate's Psywave attack combining. Needless to say, this can't happen in the games.

* TheIronGiant doesn't find out it had boosters on his feet until he accidentally falls off a cliff and they activate automatically.

* [[spoiler: Lloyd]] in ''TalesOfSymphonia''. [[spoiler: Kratos]] may also count, although his are revealed much earlier.

* Justified with Aziraphale and Crowley at the end of {{Good Omens}}. The two characters in question are known to be an [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angel]] and [[NobleDemon demon]] throughout the entire story. It's only at the end when they [[spoiler: face off against Lucifer and think they're going to die]] that they decide they might as well go out the way they came in.

* Beelzemon from ''DigimonTamers'' sprouts a pair of black, feathery wings out his back when he goes into burst mode.

* Akira the ''{{Devilman}}'' literally pulled a pair of wings out of his back in order to stop a fall and then fight a flying demon. Since he's, well, a devilman that wasn't too much a surprise but still he never used or even demonstrated them before that moment.
