| 9 | A {{Stock Superpower|sIndex}} (and also a classic SuperRobot weapon) that allows characters to shoot blasts out of their eyes. Blasts of what, you ask? Sometimes the generic, all-encompassing term of "[[PureEnergy energy]]." Sometimes "heat," in which case it is (logically) known as Heat Vision. Sometimes "lasers," in which case it is known (again, with excessive logic) as Laser Vision. The point is, they hurt. These are the ''real'' GlowingEyesOfDoom. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | This is the stock power of the {{Mecha Mook|s}} and those with powers beyond mortal men. Also, a stock joke about "laser eye surgery" fad. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Seldom [[RequiredSecondaryPowers is it explained]] how a beam which can burn or injure just about anything else is contained when trapped behind the character's eye''lids'', nor how the beam-producing mechanism within the eye avoids obstructing the vision of the actual seeing parts of the eye. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Compare XRayVision, DeadlyGaze, MagicalEye, BreathWeapon, HeadBlast, HandBlast, and PsiBlast. Often TheGlassesComeOff for this. A favorite attack for the {{Oculothorax}}. [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused with]] I-beams, the architectural element, although [[TelephonePolearm those too can be used as weapons]]. |

| 53 | * ''Fanfic/TheChildOfLove'': In chapter 7 the cast fights an [[{{Robeast}} Angel]] is armed with a wide beam of yellow light it shoots at regular intervals. |
| 54 | * ''Fanfic/ADipInTheInkwell'': In the oneshot "Lemonade Pitcher", Estimation Eddie wears an EyepatchOfPower that covers up his eye, which can shoot beams that create and reheat hot dogs. When he tries to use his power for the former purpose to help his teammates, however, he ends up getting injured and fears that the energy in his eye can backfire and cause him severe brain damage. |
| 55 | * ''Fanfic/FarceOfTheThreeKingdoms'': Xu Chu has these. Ma Chao complains that this is out of genre [[AnachronismStew (he's wrong)]]. |
| 56 | * ''Fanfic/AForceOfFour'': Three Kryptonian criminals use their heat vision wantonly to burn places down and punish or even fry enemies. |
| 57 | -->The three outlaws of Krypton were standing in a circle about Power Girl, sending six beams of heat from their eyes at her caped back. One Kryptonian could cause pain. Two could injure. Three could destroy. |
| 58 | %%* ''Fanfic/TheFutureFlash'': Bart Allen has this power due to being half-Kryptonian. |
| 59 | * ''Fanfic/HauntedMansionAndTheHatboxGhost'': The One-Eyed Black Cat can project a laser-like red beam from his "missing" eye, which can destroy, reshape, mind-control, and a dozen other things. |

| 62 | %%* ''Fanfic/InnerDemons'': This is an apparently inherent ability of Queen!Twilight's zombie soldiers. |
| 63 | * ''Webcomic/InvertedFate'': Undyne has a robotic left eye that can shoot lasers instead f an eyepatch, as she is the Royal Scientist instead of the Captain of the Royal Guard she was in canon. |
| 64 | * ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'': Shinji has heat vision thanks to his Kryptonian DNA. He uses it most memorably to [[spoiler:burn [[EldritchAbomination Leliel]] down when it tries to MindRape Asuka]] in a scene which is a homage to ''ComicBook/ForTheManWhoHasEverything''. |
| 65 | * ''Fanfic/TheLastDaughter'': Taylor discovers that she can shoot heat blasts from her eyes during her fight with [[EldritchAbomination Behemoth]]. |
| 66 | * ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'': Izuku is Kryptonian, with the Heat Vision to match. It's currently powerful enough to slice off the arm of a robot with ease and bore through the hide of a rotting {{Kaiju}} corpse, but his lack of practice has made his fine control poor, to the point that he can't cut in a straight line. |
| 67 | * ''Fanfic/OriginStory'': Alex Harris (being a Kryptonian trapped in the '"Franchise/MarvelUniverse'') uses her heat vision multiple times, most notably to disable [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Carol Danvers]]. |

| 71 | %%* "Recently we picked up a ''ComicStrip/{{Dennis The Menace|US}}'' storybook with charming Bob Paplow illustrations. What we didn't bargain on, however, was that the original owner had used a pencil and his or her imagination to turn a prosaic story of Dennis and Ruff into [[http://www.misterkitty.org/extras/stupidcovers/stupidcomics142.html an orgy of BLASTING MUTANT-STYLE EYEBEAMS!!!"]] |

| 75 | * ''Franchise/TheIncredibles'': |
| 76 | ** [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1 The first movie]] features an eye-blasting hero named [[CaptainErsatz GazerBeam]]. [[spoiler:He's already been murdered by the villain Syndrome by the time the main plot of the movie begins.]] He uses the power [[DyingClue to leave an important clue]]: [[spoiler:the password to the computer in Syndrome's lair.]] |
| 77 | ** Baby Jack-Jack starts manifesting these during his DayInTheLimelight short film ''WesternAnimation/JackJackAttack''. The rest of the family learn he has this ability, among many others, during [[WesternAnimation/Incredibles2 the sequel]]. During the climax Violet picks Jack-Jack up and basically uses him as a gun to shoot one of their enemies by [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud shouting "Pew Pew"]] to get Jack-Jack to fire his beams. |
| 78 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'': The titular character involuntarily deploys these if someone shoots at it, even if it's only with a toy gun. |
| 79 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'': After Hal gets empowered and becomes Tighten, he uses these to ''write his alias across the city''. [[ItMakesSenseInContext He also uses them against a mannequin of Megamind]]. |
| 80 | * ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'': A witness credits [[CuteMonsterGirl Boo]] with "laser vision" that she used to blast a car. |

| 82 | |
| 83 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 84 | * Brandon from ''Film/{{Brightburn}}'', in addition to the other powers of the [[FlyingBrick Superman package]], also has laser eyes. But given that this kid is a supervillain, and that this is a horror flick, he puts this power to very horrific use [[spoiler:on his father after he tries to [[ShootingSuperman shoot him]]]]. |
| 85 | * Gort from the original ''Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill1951.'' |
| 86 | * Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse: |
| 87 | ** In ''Film/ManOfSteel'', Superman's heat vision blasts look more focused than Zod's, presumably because Superman has had more time to master it. Both of them seem to find the ability painful to switch on and off. |
| 88 | ** In ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', Doomsday has eye beams, presumably because he was created from [[spoiler:Zod's corpse]]. This allows him and Superman to have a brief but ''awesome'' BeamOWar. |
| 89 | ** In ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'', Alfred Pennyworth reverse-engineered Kryptonian tech to make Batman's gauntlets plasma-proof, which ends up being very useful when an angry revived Superman targets the Dark Knight with his eye beams. In the FinalBattle, Superman uses his eye beams to cut off one of Steppenwolf's horns. In the final scenes showing how the BadFuture started, Darkseid uses his [[HomingLasers Omega Beams]] to kill some Atlanteans. |
| 90 | * Also found in the world of ''[[{{Kaiju}} daikaiju]]'' (giant monsters), such as ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' foes [[Film/GodzillaAndMothraTheBattleForEarth Battra]], [[Film/GodzillaVsMechagodzilla Mechagodzilla]], and [[Film/GodzillaVsGigan Gigan]]. |
| 91 | ** Gigan is a special case as he never had eye beams in his first two appearances (He did have a laser weapon in his forehead that was never used) but the games give Gigan one despite that. Gigan's first film eye beam attack was in the Millennium era film ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'', where it was a short range attack called "Cluster Light Beam" and caused a explosion as the beams split apart, like a cluster bomb. In the ''VideoGame/PipeworksGodzillaTrilogy'', Gigan has both a long range beam and short range "shotgun blast". |
| 92 | ** In Toho's fantasy adventure film ''Film/YamatoTakeru'' eye beams are a powerful weapon used by both the titular hero and his foe the PhysicalGod Tsukuyomi. When the latter is in his ScaledUp {{Orochi}} form he can even shoot lightning bolts from his (many) eyes. |
| 93 | * Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse: |
| 94 | ** The Marvel movies also give us ''Film/{{Thor}}.'' The Destroyer armor opens its mask to reveal an empty helmet, and you can see the inside of the empty suit glowing like a furnace. Whenever this happens, this means a massive beam of KABLOOEY is about to be unleashed. Though it does stretch the definition of the 'eye' portion of the trope a little. |
| 95 | ** This is one of Ikaris' powers in ''Film/{{Eternals}}'', and he is considered by several of the other Eternals as the most powerful among them. |
| 96 | * In the scene where Skeletor becomes a god in ''Film/MastersOfTheUniverse'', he forces He-Man to [[KneelBeforeZod kneel before him]] by way of powerful {{Agony Beam}}s fired from his eyes. |
| 97 | -->'''Skeletor:''' Now...you will...'''KNEEEEEEEEEEEL!''' |
| 98 | * ''Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier''. After Captain Kirk and Spock question the authenticity of "God", he fires beams of energy out of his eyes at them. He does it again while pursuing Kirk later on. |
| 99 | * Kryptonians have heat vision in the ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'': |
| 100 | ** A minor plotpoint in ''Film/SupermanII'' was Non making multiple attempts to learn to control his heat vision. |
| 101 | ** One of the most infamous cases of NewPowersAsThePlotDemands has Superman shooting beams from his eyes that repair the Great Wall Of China in ''Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace''. WordOfGod says he was supposed to fix it at SuperSpeed but they were running out of money. |
| 102 | * The 1985 shot-in-the-Philippines [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic]] film ''Warriors of the Apocalypse'' features a duel between two characters with this power. |
| 103 | * When the Grand High Witch destroys a fellow witch for daring to argue with her in ''Film/TheWitches1990'', this is the form her magical incineration attack takes. |
| 104 | * ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' |
| 105 | ** When Cyclops' eyes are uncovered they shoot red beams uncontrollably. As mentioned in the comics, they shoot beams of pure concussive force and not heat, but this can be forgotten DependingOnTheWriter or DependingOnTheArtist. Specifically, ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' leaves the edges of whatever he just blasted his way through glowing red-hot. |
| 106 | ** In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', the Future Sentinel's entire face unfolds to fire a powerful beam. |
| 107 | [[/folder]] |
| 108 | |
| 109 | [[folder:Gamebooks]] |
| 110 | * In the ''Literature/{{Sorcery}}'' series, Red-Eyes are a race of lanky humanoids whose eyes are constantly closed. That's because when they open them, they can shoot fiery beams that are quite deadly. Having such a lethal weapon at their disposal has made all of them conceited bullies. |
| 111 | [[/folder]] |
| 112 | |
| 113 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 114 | * ''Literature/ChrysalisRinoZ'': Invidia the envy demon has a single eye laser ([[GreenEyedMonster green]], naturally), which makes sense, as he's a single floating eyeball. It's extremely destructive, but he needs time to recover afterward, and it's unsafe to use in enclosed spaces. |
| 115 | * In one of the oldest examples: the [[CreepyCentipedes One Hundred Eyed Demon Lord]] from ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'' emits hot beams of light from the various eyes located on his body. Sun Wukong manages to escape this light trap by turning into a pangolin and digging his way out. |
| 116 | ** Even before that, when Wukong is born from the stone, he bows to the four cardinal directions [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer and then accidentally shoots lasers out of his eyes that nearly hit the Jade Emperor himself.]] |
| 117 | * The [[NoNameGiven unnamed]] [[Literature/TheCulture Culture]] terror weapon briefly followed at the end of ''Look to Windward'', a DoAnythingRobot made from a [[NanoMachines nanomachine swarm]] can form pretty much any weapon it wants from its body, but isn't anywhere near as limited as the [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay T-1000]]. It adjusts its eyes to lase in order to blind an opponent, but only in order to kill him in a more unpleasant way; this being Culture super science, it could have easily formed a WaveMotionGun had the need arisen. |
| 118 | * In Creator/RogerZelazny's ''Literature/LordOfLight'', the mutant power of at least two of the "gods" -- Yama and Kali -- focused through the eyes. It was described poetically as "drinking life" with their eyes ... and if you actually ''met'' the death-gaze with your own eyes, it was particularly powerful. |
| 119 | * Don't get into a staring contest with Alex from ''Literature/TheOtherKindofRoommate''. Although his beams are invisible, so long as he's made direct eye contact, he can kill from streets away. |
| 120 | * In ''Literature/ParadiseLost'', the Son of God uses all of his eyes to glare lightning and fire at the demonic soldiers with such intensity that all their strength and life is lost to them. |
| 121 | * In ''{{The Plot of the Black Mass}}'' by Creator/AndreiBelyanin, Baba Yaga (a witch-like good character) uses Heat Beams from her eyes to kill an evil Catholic priest, who was attempting to summon [[EldritchAbomination Beelzebub]]. |
| 122 | * The ''Franchise/StarWars'' novel ''Queen of the Empire'' had a [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Human_replica_droid human replica droid]] (essentially a RobotGirl), who impersonated Leia Organa and actually killed a villain with laser beams from her eyes. |
| 123 | * ''Literature/SkulduggeryPleasant: Playing with Fire''. Baron Vengeous has a glare which causes the recipient to [[YourHeadAsplode explode]]. |
| 124 | * In Creator/JohnFrench's ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' ''Literature/ThousandSons'' trilogy, powerful sorcerers like [[VillainProtagonist Ahriman]] and Amon can emit white-hot beams of supernatural fire from their eyes. |
| 125 | * ''[[Creator/JohnRidley What Fire Cannot Burn]]'' uses this trope mostly straight for a minor villain, but mocks a surprising aspect of it. According to the narration, eye beams that are powerful enough to hurt somebody should be at a frequency invisible to the human eye--so [[ThisIsReality unlike in the comic books]], you don't see the blast, you just see what it does to people. |
| 126 | * In the ''Literature/ZacharyNixonJohnson'' series, there is a psi named Liz Lazor who specializes in firing lasers from her eyes. |
| 127 | %%* Baron von Munchausen gained the ability to shoot sparks out of his eyes when hit in the face. [[TheMunchausen Or so he claimed]]. |
| 128 | * Creator/IsaacAsimov's ''Literature/TheBicentennialManAndOtherStories'': For [[CoversAlwaysLie some unknown reason]], the 1978 {{Creator/Panther}} cover features an enormous six-limbed robot in water, blasting a damaged triangular plane with beams from the "head" of the robot, spaced so that they look like eyes. |
| 129 | * ''Literature/TheSixServants'': One of the servants is a man who can fire destructive beams from his eyes, and thus must go around in a blindfold so he doesn't accidentally destroy everything he looks at. |
| 130 | [[/folder]] |
| 131 | |
| 132 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 133 | * ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'': |
| 134 | ** Jake Simmons (a.k.a. Deathbolt) shoots plasma laser beams from his eyes as his main power. |
| 135 | ** ''Series/Supergirl2015'' as usual keeps the heat vision as part of the standard Kryptonian superpowers, although in this series it appears more blue/cyan than the traditional red from the comics and most other incarnations. |
| 136 | *** In this series, the over-use of heat vision, which Clark terms a "solar-flare", can temporarily "burn-out" her or Clark's super-powers, temporarily causing them to revert to human. |
| 137 | * ''Series/TheBoys2019'': |
| 138 | ** Billy Butcher finds a baby hooked up to an IV of [[SuperSerum Compound V]] being kept inside a laser-proof incubator, due to having been born with the ability to shoot blue beams from its eyes. Several mooks with automatic weapons then burst into the room, and in a classic ''Boys'' BlackComedy moment, Butcher picks up the baby and uses it to blast them in half. |
| 139 | ** Homelander's [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eye beams]] are his most common weapons, which he uses to kill a building full of terrorists and bring down a plane. The reason he uses them is because they require the least effort for him to use and because he is frankly lazy, which fits with his characterization as a truly villainous SmugSuper. |
| 140 | ** [[spoiler:In Season 3, after taking Temp-V to take down Homelander, Butcher gains his own orange-colored eye beams which he uses in a BeamOWar.]] |
| 141 | * The villain from the ''Series/Charmed1998'' episode "The Truth is out there, and it hurts" has a ThirdEye that sends out a beam of burning energy. It targets the same area that the victim's third eye would be. |
| 142 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': |
| 143 | ** The Silurians from the classic series had a ThirdEye they could send an eye beam from which could kill, stun, or operate machinery. |
| 144 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E742 "42"]] [[spoiler:has the bad guy running around with these (beams of heat, in this case), with a visor that seems to be a direct ShoutOut to Cyclops.]] |
| 145 | * The villains of the week in the ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' episode "[[Recap/FarscapeS02E04CrackersDontMatter Crackers Don't Matter]]" is a blind MadScientist specializing in light, so naturally, he can shoot lasers out of his eyes. And [[WallCrawling cling to walls]]. |
| 146 | * Although ''{{Series/Heroes}}'', surprisingly given the many different superpowers, does not have any characters with eye beams, in the season 3 episode "It's Coming", [[PsychoElectro Elle]] shoots Sylar with so much lightning at one point that lightning actually ''comes out of his eyes'' while he's being electrocuted. [[GoodThingYouCanHeal Good Thing He Can Heal]]. |
| 147 | * On ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', Lily has the "You're dead to me look", which causes her eyes to glow and the object of her glare to (appear to) vaporize. Given the look's similarity to [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Dark Willow]] eyes, this is possibly an ActorAllusion to actress Alyson Hannigan's former character. |
| 148 | * The short lived comedy show ''The Idiot Box'' featured a bit called "Damn These Eyes", about a scientist who, after a telescope mishap, was cursed with EyeBeams that he [[PowerIncontinence could not turn off]]. The beams -- actually dotted lines -- did not actually do anything, but they would let anyone know exactly where he was looking (such as at a woman's chest), destroying his life. |
| 149 | * ''Series/LabRats'' has this as one of [[DumbMuscle Adam]]'s main bionic abilities. Usually it's the standard red laser beams, but there have been instances of him [[PlayingWithFire shooting actual fire out of his eyes]], one of the most notable being in the first episode, when he uses it to ward off Mission Creek High's school mascot after it gets too clingy. |
| 150 | * ''Series/TheMrPotatoHeadShow'': During the superhero episode, Mr. Potato Head's "Spudman" character has the ability to fire lightning-like purple rays from his eyes; he used them to create a BulletholeDoor to enter the villain's lair. He showed this ability once backstage, too. |
| 151 | * Cindy Crawford was able to do this when she appeared on ''Series/MuppetsTonight'', and did it to vaporize two rather annoying Muppets, one a LoonyFan who [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor asked if supermodels had super-powers]], and during [[BrickJoke the last scene]] on a guy who kept introducing himself (over and over). |
| 152 | * ''Series/NightMan''[='s=] costume includes (among things like a bulletproof bodysuit, an AntiGravity belt, and an InvisibilityCloak) an eyepatch of sorts that grants him night vision and can fire a laser. He's not shy about using it to kill, though. At one point, he uses it to merely stun a bad guy, knowing the guy was going to take a two-story fall headfirst. |
| 153 | * ''Series/RedDwarf'': Rimmer contracts a holovirus in the episode "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVQuarantine Quarantine]]", it drives him mad(der), and he puts on a red and white checked gingham dress, army boots and a penguin puppet, Mr. Flibble. The holovirus gives Rimmer Hex-Vision, with which he can shoot beams from his eyes. He can also transfer the Hex-Vision to Mr. Flibble... |
| 154 | -->'''Rimmer:''' Mr. Flibble is very cross... you shouldn't have run away from him... what are we gonna do with them Mr. Flibble?\ |
| 155 | ''[Mr. Flibble, quivering with rage, [[SilentWhisper whispers]] something in evil Rimmer's ear]''\ |
| 156 | '''Rimmer:''' ''[shocked]'' We can't do that... who'd clean up the mess? ''[both their eyes glow red]'' |
| 157 | ** The first time our heroes get shot at with the Hex-Vision, the ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy trope is lampshaded. FridgeBrilliance would suggest the reason the bad guys can't shoot straight while using EyeBeams is because their optic nerves are overloaded by the energy needed to destroy their target, so they can't see a thing. |
| 158 | * Olly, from ''Series/TheSiflAndOllyShow'', has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJHOtzXNqIk pair of these]] installed at one point. They come with the ability to [[MindProbe read minds]]. Side effects include extreme curiosity. |
| 159 | * In one of the later ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'' made-for-TV movies, Steve Austin's long lost son suffers a tragic accident and gets a bionic eye -- that can shoot lasers. |
| 160 | * ''Series/{{Smallville}}'': [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark Kent]], obviously. He develops them in "[[Recap/SmallvilleS02E02Heat Heat]]". Also Bizarro, Ultraman, and any of the dozens of Kryptonians that pop up during the show. Heat vision is invisible to the naked eye and the beam effects are only for the audience's benefit, allowing them to use it in public without anyone noticing. And for the Kryptonians, heat vision is heavily associated with sexual arousal, with some of them activating it by accident when becoming [[JizzedInMyPants too aroused]]. |
| 161 | * Countless ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' {{kaiju}} possess beam attacks fired from their eyes. |
| 162 | [[/folder]] |
| 163 | |
| 164 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 165 | * Music/OkGo song "Invincible" have this in lyrics: |
| 166 | -->''When they finally come to destroy the Earth''\ |
| 167 | ''They'll have to deal with you first''\ |
| 168 | ''And now, my money says they won't know about''\ |
| 169 | ''The thousand Fahrenheit hot metal lights behind your eyes'' |
| 170 | * "CNR" by Music/WeirdAlYankovic includes the lyric: |
| 171 | -->''Ninja warrior, master of disguise''\ |
| 172 | ''He could melt your brain with his laser beam eyes''\ |
| 173 | ''Oh yeah''\ |
| 174 | ''Oh yeah'' |
| 175 | ** Weird Al also offers "Slime Creatures from Outer Space:" |
| 176 | --->''They'll zap you with their death ray eyes/and blow you up real good'' |
| 177 | * This was one of Paul Stanley's powers in their TV movie, ''KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park''. |
| 178 | ** Afterwards, the band spent $250,000 trying to come up with a way for Paul to appear to shoot laser beams from his eye during their concerts. |
| 179 | ** Ace Frehley is shown with these on the cover of ''Rock And Roll Over''. |
| 180 | * In the music video for "Radioactive" by Music/ImagineDragons has the teddy bear, after defeating the champion vaporize two of the boss's {{Mook}}s with its eyes. |
| 181 | * In ''Music/TheyMightBeGiants'' "The Lady and the Tiger", the Lady from Frank Stockton's "The Lady, or the Tiger?" claims to have laser eyes that she plans to use to escape, but the Tiger doesn't think that's such a good idea: |
| 182 | -->The Lady said "I'm busting out of this prison,\ |
| 183 | I got laser vision\ |
| 184 | And I'm burning a hole in the wall!"\ |
| 185 | The Tiger said "Wait, you'll start a fire\ |
| 186 | Destroy the entire\ |
| 187 | Lady and the Tiger hall!" |
| 188 | * The surreal music video for Hot Chip's single "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaCZN2N6Q_I I Feel Better]]" - which already features an angelic figure with a BreathWeapon - also ends with [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext the floating head of a black man]] who can fire lasers from his eyes, who uses this power to kill off the parody boy band Hot Chip's portrayed as, the ''actual'' members of Hot Chip, and a few audience members before destroying the stage itself. |

| 191 | [[folder:Myths & Religion]] |
| 192 | * Buddha (yes, the founder of Buddhism himself) was said, after being denied access to the scrolls at a temple, to have sat down and stared at the wall until a hole was burned into it. The monks caved in and gave him full access after that. Considering the realism in most of Buddha's stories, this stands out quite a bit, although it's nothing compared to most of too-{{Anime}}-for-''[[Manga/DragonBall Goku]]'' higher mythology. |
| 193 | * OlderThanPrint: Before the Tuatha De Danaan moved into Ireland in Myth/CelticMythology, the giant Fomor were led by Balor of the One Eye, whose deadly gaze could burn men "like leaves cast into a forge." When Balor was slain by his grandson Lugh, he fell face first to the ground with his eye still open, and burned a hole into the ground. It's still there today, as a lake. |
| 194 | ** Another version of the above myth has Balor's eye bashed out the back of his head, casting its deadly gaze on his own army. Needless to say, they didn't win. |
| 195 | * Shiva got an extra eye when gods [[ASimplePlan tried to make him stop mourning for Sati and marry Parvati]] (he didn't know she was the reincarnation of his ex-wife, and no one thought to tell him). He opened his two eyes, noticed her, the god of lust Kama shot Shiva with a bow to stir up passion in him ([[Myth/ClassicalMythology sounds familiar]]?)... and then the plan [[{{Pun}} backfired]]: to everyone's surprise he opened a ''{{third|Eye}}'' eye and incinerated Kama with an eyebeam (Parvati found another way to become his wife and asked him to resurrect Kama). Scorching gaze of annoyed ascetics is a recurring motif for Hinduism, but mortals' anatomy doesn't change. |
| 196 | * From Guarani mythology, [[AnimalisticAbomination Teju Jagua]], a [[MixandMatchCritters mix of a dog and a lizard with seven heads]] that guards caverns and fruits that's feared for his "''Fiery Gaze''". Essentially, a kind of [[OurDragonsAreDifferent South-American dragon]]. Fortunately, Teju Jagua is [[GentleGiant pretty friendly and tame]] [[DarkIsNotEvil compared to his siblings]] thanks [[TopGod to Tupã]]. |
| 197 | * The basilisk was held to have eye beams of ''pure death'', causing instantaneous death to any caught in its gaze. Another take on the myth is that the victim is betrayed by their own vision, and dies when they behold the creature. Still others hold a combination of the two, and eye contact between monster and victim is required. |
| 198 | * In Myth/ClassicalMythology [[DeadlyGaze the gaze of a witch could cause some harm or bad luck]], but Medea, as granddaughter of Helios, could turn it up to AgonyBeam level, [[DrivenToSuicide driving the unkillable bronze giant Talos to suicide]] [[MuggingTheMonster for his unprovoked attack on the Argonauts and herself]] ([[DependingOnTheWriter at least in one version]]. In the other she simply [[HypnoticEyes hypnotized him into suicide]]). One wonders why Jason, knowing her [[{{Yandere}} unstable character]], [[TooDumbToLive thought he could get away with breaking up and trying to keep her away from their children]]... |
| 199 | * Medjed, a very obscure deity in the Myth/EgyptianMythology (he's only mentioned twice in the Book of Dead), is said to be able to shoot rays of light from his eye. |

| 202 | [[folder:Pinballs]] |
| 203 | * ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} is shown using his in ''Creator/SternPinball's'' ''[[Pinball/XMenStern X-Men]]''. |
| 204 | [[/folder]] |
| 205 | |
| 206 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 207 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Arduin}}'': A number of Greater Demons can do this. |
| 208 | ** Iphang, the Lord of the Yellow Horde, can fire a brilliant green ray of intense heat from his eye that does 3-60 HitPoints of damage to anything it hits. It has a range of 100 yards and can be fired up once per melee round up to 13 times in a row. After that it can only be fired once per minute until he doesn't use it (allowing it to rest) for 30 minutes. |
| 209 | ** Karong the Lord of Slime has three large glowing eyes colored red, yellow and green. Once each melee round each eye can send out a beam of its color that is 40 yards long and 5 feet wide. The red ray causes 17-36 HitPoints of burning damage, the yellow ray causes 15-24 HitPoints of immediate rotting damage and 3 HitPoints of continuing rotting damage each melee round thereafter, and the green ray causes paralysis for 1-20 minutes. |
| 210 | * ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'': [[HumongousMecha BattleMechs]] with head mounted weapons sometimes have it set up as an eye-beam. The ''Atlas'', which has a skull for a cockpit, can mount a laser in one of the eyes (the other is occupied by the actual pilot), and the Mechwarrior 4 ''Cyclops'' has a huge glowing red "eye" where a head should be. You can mount a (light) Particle Projector Cannon there, making it fire ''lightning bolts'' |
| 211 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Champions}}'' has a villain named Occulon who has several eye-based powers. |
| 212 | * ''Creator/{{Chaosium}}'': The supplement ''All the Worlds' Monsters'' Volume III includes two creatures that can do this: |
| 213 | ** The Shock Troll has two eyes. The grey eye can fire a death ray and the light green eye can fire a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' Feeblemind spell. |
| 214 | ** The Windwalker's gaze causes any creature it looks at to become confused. |
| 215 | * ''TabletopGame/{{deadEarth}}'' features a variant of this among its (many, ''many'') "[[AtomicSuperpower Radiation Manipulations]]", "441: Halogen", which gives the character "the ability to project a variably bright light from [their] eyes", or in other words, flashlight eyes. |
| 216 | * ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': |
| 217 | ** The beholder is a living embodiment of this trope with its ''[[ExtraEyes eleven]]'' eyes armed with magic rays, each of which acts as a different magical spell, a trait shared with the various beholder-kin creatures. There are also lots of creatures with gaze attacks affecting those meeting their eye, such as basilisks (petrification), catoblepas (death) and vampires (charm). |
| 218 | ** Gibbering orbs can produce beams that, in a similar manner to beholders, emulate the effect of a high-level spell. Because gibbering orbs have hundreds of eyes, these beams aren't mapped to a specific eye; rather, the orb can essentially pick and choose which beams it wants to use from a set list of two dozen effects, with the only limitation being that it can only fire off one of each kind per round. |
| 219 | ** In lieu of a conventional BreathWeapon like other dragons, a jabberwock can shoot a long line of fire from its bulging eyes unless it has been blinded by something. |
| 220 | ** A handful of arcane spells like ''eyebite'' (a gaze attacks with minor enchantments like charm or fear) and ''dead man's eyes'' (the caster's eyeballs turn black with white skull-shaped pupils and kills people by looking in their eyes). |
| 221 | ** Later sourcebooks provide a metamagic feat that allows player characters to store ray spells in each eye for convenient simultaneous blasting for a later date. |
| 222 | ** The spell ''lantern light'' from the 3E ''Book of Exalted Deeds'' supplement gives clerics and paladins the ability to shoot eye beams. |
| 223 | ** The [[WaveMotionGun obscenely powerful]] epic spell ''vengeful gaze of god'' from the 3E ''Epic Level Handbook'' deals anywhere from ''305 to 1850 points of damage'', the latter value being easily sufficient to kill most ''deities'' in [[OneHitKill one shot]], and it has a range just less than two and a half ''miles''. Of course, the massive backlash will likely kill you too. And by the time you're high enough level that you could conceivably cast it, [[AwesomeButImpractical you've got easier and safer ways to accomplish the same effect]]. |
| 224 | ** 1st Edition ''Advanced D&D'' supplement ''Fiend Folio'': The retriever has four eyes that can fire rays up to sixty feet away. Three of them inflict fire, cold and lightning damage (respectively) equal to the retriever's current HitPoints, with a saving throw vs. dragon breath for half damage. The fourth eye can transmute the target into mud, stone, gold or lead (determined randomly). |
| 225 | ** ''TabletopGame/CriticalRoleTaldoreiCampaignSetting'': The Cinderslag Elemental has a form of heat vision that not only burns whoever it gazes it at, but also causes one of their possessions to either melt away or turn to ash. |
| 226 | ** ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' magazine #46 adventure "The Temple of Poseidon": Once per minute, the Dark King Ythog-Nthlei can fire four scintillating beams of energy from his eyes that drain Strength from the victim. |
| 227 | ** ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'': |
| 228 | *** ''Dwarves Deep'' has the dwarven priestly spell ''fire eyes''. ''Seven Sisters'' adds its arcane counterpart -- higher-level more powerful, but short-ranged and with bonus heat protection -- and ''basilisk glare''. |
| 229 | *** The 3.5E supplement ''Lost Empires of Faerûn'' gives the sunmaster PrestigeClass the ability to shoot beams of light out of their eyes at 2nd level. |
| 230 | ** ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'': The "Realm of Terror" booklet, from the 2nd Edition boxed set, has it so that when someone fails a Ravenloft Powers check, one possible benefit is being able to fire a ''ray of enfeeblement'' spell from their eyes three times per day. |
| 231 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'': Shards of the Exalted Dream has the Empyreal Chaos Charm known as ''Apocalypse Comet Gaze''. This allows Infern- er, ''Titanic'' Exalts to, surprise surprise, fire death rays with a glare. |
| 232 | * ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'': "Lightning Stare" from ''GURPS: Magic'', which probably isn't a cool as it sounds since you have to make "certain facial motions" in order to cast the spell. |
| 233 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' has the ''yai-mimic spell'' metamagic feat, which allows a caster to cast any ray spell -- that is, a spell which fires a magical beam from the hand or fingers -- from the center of their forehead, where their ThirdEye would be. |
| 234 | * ''TabletopGame/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse'': This is Young Legacy's contribution to the Legacy superpowers, as seen on the Legacy card "Next Evolution". As a character card, it's her base power, "Atomic Glare". |
| 235 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'': Cybereyes with built in lasers (or projectile weapons) are available. But, it is made very clear that they are [[AwesomeButImpractical very ineffective]], especially in combat. In fact, the only effective use is low end tool uses. One alternative, however, is single-use flashbulbs - it won't ''kill'' the victims, but rendering them temporarily blind is just as useful. |
| 236 | * ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': |
| 237 | ** Commissar Sebastian Yarrick got a laser-firing bionic implant for his left eye to build on the stories fearful [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orks]] told of him being able to kill with a glare. |
| 238 | ** Prince Yriel has a similar item. No such cool backstory behind it, unfortunately. |
| 239 | ** Lords of Change, the [[EldritchAbomination greater daemons]] of [[TheChessmaster Tzeentch]], use their gaze as their ranged attack. |
| 240 | ** One of the psychic powers available to the Ork Weirdboy is an eye beam attack, with a strength comparable to the anti-armor melta weaponry used by the Imperium. |
| 241 | ** The Gaze of Mork is a supercharged laser mounted in the eye of ork Gargants. |
| 242 | * ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'': |
| 243 | ** Certain magic missiles manifest as this, such as the Gaze of Gork, the Gaze of Mork, the Gaze of Nagash and Shem's Burning Gaze, which are often projected from the user's eyes. |
| 244 | ** The local version of a GorgeousGorgon has a deadly gaze attack that forces the victim's blood out from their skin. |
| 245 | * ''TabletopGame/WorldOfSynnibarr'' is notorious for having {{bears|AreBadNews}} that attack with these. And it is not even in the top ''thirty'' weirdest things about ''World of Synnibarr''. |
| 246 | [[/folder]] |
| 247 | |
| 248 | [[folder:Theme Parks]] |
| 249 | * The lava pit chamber in ''Ride/IndianaJonesAdventure'' at the Ride/DisneyThemeParks features a giant stone skull that fires green rays out of one of its eyes. |
| 250 | [[/folder]] |
| 251 | |
| 252 | [[folder:Toys]] |
| 253 | * ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'': |
| 254 | ** Heat Vision and Laser Vision are two of the forty-two Makuta powers. Other users include Rahkshi of Heat Vision and [[spoiler: Tahu]]. |
| 255 | ** Most [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Skakdi]], including the Piraka, have some variant of this as well. Noticeably, not all of them had offensive-based versions. Three of the Piraka had telescopic/x-ray vision, infrared vision, and spellbinder (basically inducing confusion and vertigo) vision respectively alone. |
| 256 | [[/folder]] |
| 257 | |
| 258 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 259 | * WebAnimation/BurntFaceMan from the flash animation series by the same name, attempts to use "his laser eyes" to catch a falling baby. He does not have said power. [[BlackComedy Baby go splat]]. |
| 260 | * ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': |
| 261 | ** Robo-Wolf can fire powerful red laser beams from its eyes. |
| 262 | ** Robo has eye beams, but they are really weak. |
| 263 | ** Portica has 'eye laser rings', as Boo calls them. |
| 264 | ** Rodney has eye beams strong enough to destroy boulders. |
| 265 | * ''WebAnimation/FreedomToons'': |
| 266 | ** Ben Shapiro (and his family) use these to obliterate their debate opponents. |
| 267 | ** Marianne Williamson uses this at the end of "Dem Debate 2: Electoral Boogaloo". |
| 268 | * ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': Splendid, being a [[SupermanSubstitute Superman Expy,]] has this superpower, which he can amplify using glasses and binoculars. |
| 269 | * ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'': |
| 270 | ** In a ''VideoGame/Halo3ODST'' online ad from , Church tells a few legends about [[MemeticBadass Sergeant Johnson]]. One of them that his friend's cousin's neighbor told him, was that he has laser eyes. [[spoiler:He does.]] |
| 271 | ** Church gets a powerful laser eye in ''Recreation'' when he's transported into a spherical body. |
| 272 | --->'''Church:''' I am not a thing! My name is Leonard Church AND YOU WILL FEAR MY LASERFACE! |
| 273 | * ''WebAnimation/ThrillingIntent'' One of Markus' attacks involves shooting thin beams of fire from his eyes. |
| 274 | * ''WebAnimation/XRayAndVav'' has this as X-Ray's main weapon, a pair of glasses that also give him XRayVision. However, X-Ray is such a horrible shot, he'll end up destroying the city before he hits his target. |
| 275 | [[/folder]] |
| 276 | |
| 277 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 278 | * ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'': |
| 279 | ** [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2002/06/26/episode-166-good-samaritan-laws-are-crap/ When a demon destroys]] the city of Prontera, it uses laser beams from its eyes as part of its rampage. A Pronteran protests that lasers haven't been invented yet; the demon responds that demons have that figured out fine and then blasts him. |
| 280 | --->'''Pronteran 1:''' He's using laser eye beams!\ |
| 281 | '''Pronteran 2:''' But we haven't invented lasers yet!\ |
| 282 | '''Demon:''' '''WE HAVE'''. |
| 283 | ** Black Mage uses them later, when Fighter shows him his "Brilliant Idea" that he's written down. Black Mage offers to "[[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2003/07/01/episode-302-that-was-a-mistake/ lend those notes my critical eye... BEAMS!]]" and incinerates the page. |
| 284 | ** [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2003/11/13/episode-353-last-one-i-swear/ Black Mage later used these to set ablaze a dwarf city]]. Red Mage lampshades it: "[[RuleOfFunny Now you're just doing it to annoy me. You don't even HAVE heat vision.]]" |
| 285 | ** [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2008/10/14/episode-1046-anatomically-correct/ BEHOLD MY HUMAN LASER!]] |
| 286 | * ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'': |
| 287 | ** {{Dracula}}'s Draculabot features, among other things, eye lasers. |
| 288 | ** In a variant, Dan [=McNinja=] can squirt poison from his eyes. |
| 289 | * ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'': Massey has these in an ImagineSpot over blowing up an annoying coworker's head. Apparently "[=StinkEye=][[TradeSnark ™]] brand ocular implants will allow the fulfillment of this particular fantasy." |
| 290 | -->'''Massey''': Shh. I'm trying to kill you with my eyes. |
| 291 | * ''Webcomic/CyanideAndHappiness'': [[http://www.explosm.net/comics/938/ Parodied]]. |
| 292 | * ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'': Dave got eye lasers as a result of a dip in a nuclear waste-laden lake. |
| 293 | * ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes'': Summer has to wear a [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/1888404/a-burning-question/ special mask]], 24/7 as a result of Cyclops-style PowerIncontinence since [[PubertySuperpower her powers kicked in]]. |
| 294 | %%* ''Webcomic/PepsiaPhobia'': A demon deer has this power. |
| 295 | * ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Count Wolkerstorfer, using his mech's cyclopean eye, rakes Baron Oomfumf's tuba trombone battle wagon thing with a beam killing him. |
| 296 | * ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': Given to ''robot cows''. [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=604 Just like real cows, only with lasers.]] |
| 297 | * The character Raccoon #1 of ''Webcomic/TheIntrepidGirlbot'' has these, [[PowerIncontinence but she can't quite control them.]] |
| 298 | ** [[http://www.intrepidgirlbot.com/2009/04/03/its-on/ Mousebot has also demonstrated this ability]], but strangely, not Girlbot herself, [[http://www.intrepidgirlbot.com/2010/04/02/scratch-one-off/ except in one small instance]]. |
| 299 | * ''Webcomic/KillroyAndTina'' both [[PowersAsPrograms share]] this power. Unfortunately Tina sometimes forgets to take out her contact lenses and ''melts them to her eyes''; luckily she's also NighInvulnerable... |
| 300 | * ''Webcomic/{{Weesh}}'': [[http://www.weeshcomic.com/archive.php?strip=2009-12-28 Tate wishes he had laser eyes.]] |
| 301 | * ''Webcomic/PlanescapeSurvivalGuide'': Tchick the beholder has these. Though his powers tend to be rather unusual. His most commonly used fires a red delicious apple. |
| 302 | * ''Webcomic/HeadTrip'': Any [[spoiler:Rabbi]] [[http://headtripcomics.comicgenesis.com/d/20060901.html does]] this regularly. [-Just [[HeKnowsTooMuch don't tell them I told you.]]-] |
| 303 | * ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': |
| 304 | ** [[NeverMessWithGranny Nannasprite]] can use hers to levitate objects, heal people and write, as well as zapping imps. |
| 305 | ** Sollux' PsychicPowers include the ability to fire energy beams from his eyes, a blue one from the left and a red one from the right. If he eats mind honey, he risks losing control of them and firing them wildly and involuntarily. Later on, he uses them purposely as weapons in his two duels with Eridan, who responds with beams of his own from a MagicWand. |
| 306 | * ''Webcomic/AnsemRetort'': UsefulNotes/AndrewJackson's special ability. That and liberal {{Cluster F Bomb}}s. |
| 307 | * ''Webcomic/HandsomeFungus'' [[http://www.savetinytim.com/handsomefungus/index.html?Blink=89 Esa]], but no one believes it until they've been shot. |
| 308 | * ''Webcomic/LukeSurl'''s approach to the problem [[http://www.lukesurl.com/archives/1338 here]]. Check your local laser eye surgery providers for the list of services. See the [[http://www.lukesurl.com/archives/1460 result]]. Also, [[http://www.lukesurl.com/archives/1653 ray deer]] and [[http://www.lukesurl.com/archives/1666 this]] (reference to ''Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}''). |

| 310 | * Apparently, Ananth from ''Webcomic/JohnnyWander'' has this ability when not wearing his hat. |
| 311 | * This guy from ''Webcomic/KarateBears'' [[http://www.karatebears.com/2011/06/power-cosmic.html has eye beams]] |

| 313 | * The Pelican Cello in ''Webcomic/MountainTime'' has eye lasers, as well as at least 49 other powers (including "good at long division," "can identify cheeses at 20 yards," and, yes, "can make cello music"). |
| 314 | * ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'': Wonderella got these once, but apparently, it's just an allergic reaction to shellfish. |
| 315 | %%* ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily'': "KIRBY, [[http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2009/05/22/164-undernewmanagement/ YOU ARE THE WORST."]] |
| 316 | * Webcomic/{{Superbitch}} has the ability to burn/melt and cure vision problems with her eyebeams. |
| 317 | * ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'' has a magical villain, Sciona, realize the flaw in this trope [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands as she'd given herself a set]] with a [[BloodMagic blood cocktail]]. |
| 318 | -->'''Sciona:''' ''[Thought-bubble]'' This... this power is idiotic! It's so hard to see anything! |
| 319 | ** One of the villains during the super-brawl [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-210-dental-trauma-fu-or-technically-its-non-lethal/ fired off a pair of these]], so it may be a case of RequiredSecondaryPowers. |
