A 1999 manga that was adapted into an anime in 2002, ''Get Backers'' focuses on Ban Mido and Ginji Amano, two superpowered pals who run a repossession service to help people get their lost stuff back. Ginji's body can generate a powerful electrical current, and Ban has both a two kilo-newton grip (look it up) and the "Evil Eye", which can induce powerful hallucinations through eye contact. They inevitably run into conflicts of interest (such as an equally superpowered "delivery service") which they deal with by [[{{Badass}} kicking ass]]. Though it starts out as a light-hearted {{shonen}} action series, it later took a sharp right turn into CerebusSyndrome country with the Limitless Fortress arc.
