* In ''TeenTitans'', the [[RubberMan elastic villain]] Madame Rouge attempts to pull this one on Kid Flash. It works at first, despite Kid Flash's [[SuperSpeed obvious superpower]]. Emphasis on "at first".

* Parodied in the April Fools Day 2009 "update notes" for ''GuildWars''. The assassin skill Scorpion Wire was reportedly changed to summon the afflicted foe to location of the person who cast it--a likely reference to Scorpion the ninja. (Normally, the skill teleports the assassin to the afflicted foe.)

* Characters with tethers (ranged grabs) in ''SuperSmashBrothers'' could count. This includes each [[TheLegendOfZelda Link]] (with the [[GrapplingHookPistol hookshot]], or the [[TwilightPrincess clawshot]]), [[{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]] (grapple beam, or plasma whip as Zero Suit), [[YoshisIsland Yoshi]] (his tongue), [[{{Mother}} Lucas]] (the rope snake), [[{{Pokemon}} Ivysaur]] (vines), and [[{{Pikmin}} Olimar]] (pikmin).

Sometimes your opponent is strong. Really strong. Sometimes, even if you're TheChosenOne--and definitely if you aren't--you end up in a fight that's way out of your league. You need to find some means of escape, or at least something to buy yourself some breathing room so that your foe can't [[JustShootHim Just Shoot You]] while you're trying to come up with a [[TimeForPlanB Plan B]].

* TropeNamer: The original ''{{EverQuest}}'', an MMORPG, allows many high-level monsters and bosses to use the "summon" ability against players who are in combat with them. This ability instantly teleports a targeted player to the monster's location, regardless of how far away that player has fled and irrelevant of whether the monster can still see him or her. This ability can be used every ten seconds or so and helps ensure that the monster in question can always "catch" fleeing opponents or over-aggressive spellcasters who try to compensate for their fragile armor by keeping a lot of space between themselves and their opponent. Summoning equalizes things, pulling the target instantly into melee range for a good old fashioned beatdown, often resulting in quick and potentially humorous deaths. Best of all, when a player is summoned in this fashion, everyone in the immediate area will know it--because the monster doing the summoning will say, "You will not evade me (player name)!" And so the trope gets its name.

May lead almost immediately to JustEatHim and/or a WombLevel in some cases. Despite what it sounds like, not related to GetBackHereBoss.

* Trailers for ''MarvelVSCapcom 3'' show [[BionicCommando Nathan Spencer]] using his bionic arm for this purpose.

* ''{{Pokemon}}'' both plays this straight and has a slight variation: the moves Block, Mean Look, and Spider Web will prevent foes from running away or switching out to another party member. There are also a few abilities that do this naturally, such as Arena Trap (doesn't work on Flying or Levitating mons, though), Magnet Pull (only works on Steel types) and Shadow Tag (works no matter what, [[ObviousRulePatch unless against another trapper]], and is the sole reason [[LethalJokeCharacter Wobbuffet]] is banned in competitive play). The variation is that if an enemy has a higher level/speed stat than your current Pokémon, you won't be able to run away. You can still switch, though.

* The "Teleport Foe" ability from ''CityOfHeroes'' does this as well. This is a power that is available to any PlayerCharacter as early as level 6. The Gravity Control set also has "Wormhole" as one of its higher-level powers, which is an AoE version of this that also stuns those pulled through it.

* [[TwoWordsObviousTrope Two words]]: [[StarWars Force Pull]].

* Akainu often says this to any pirate that he deems as "potentially dangerous" in {{One Piece}}, and will pursue his targets til he kills them. His determination is so strong that he continued to go after Luffy even though he suffered 2 direct strong blows from Whitebeard. In the end he was pissed off at Shanks for letting Luffy get away.

* Mewtwo, as portrayed in the first ''{{Pokemon}}'' movie, could probably do this to just about anyone, anytime it felt the urge to do so.
