| 8 | '''Spinnerette:''' That's just ''mean'', Mecha Maid! Sure, her BMI is on the high side, but--\ |
| 9 | '''Mecha Maid:''' No, that's Greta Gravity! Her superpower is local control over gravity! |
| 10 | -->-- ''Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}'' |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The ability to control gravity as a superpower (or AppliedPhlebotinum that serves the same purpose). Traditionally, this has two main applications: increasing the weight of something and placing an immense crushing force onto it, or reducing the weight of something, which can either make it light as a feather (potentially enabling InASingleBound) or entirely weightless (leaving things floating around or drifting endlessly in the last direction they were pushed in). Sometimes the user can change the ''direction'' of gravity, making things 'fall' upwards (hurtling off into space) or in any other direction, allowing for endless {{Wall Run}}ning or walking on ceilings, and potentially even {{Flight}} with enough fine control. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Such a power is often coupled with [[RequiredSecondaryPowers a large amount of leeway as to how gravity works]], such as making gravity [[GravitySucks a force with an exact cut-off range]], [[SelectiveGravity only working on a specific object]], or the third law of motion being violated with only one object being attracted to another. This power is treated as essentially [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]] with different flavor text[[note]]The actual difference is [[https://www.reddit.com/r/AskScienceFiction/comments/5sqxak/general_what_are_the_differences_between/ much more complicated.]][[/note]], sometimes coupled with the ability to make things implode. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Note in RealLife, everything that has a mass will have their own gravity, but only sufficiently heavy objects (such as, say, planets and stars) can create powerful enough gravity force to have any discernible effect on other objects. Fictional gravity-users rarely have such issues. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Compare MagnetismManipulation, a similar power; both it (electromagnetism, technically) and gravity are one of the four fundamental forces of the universe. Users of those are potentially among the most powerful of people. Compare also PowerOfTheVoid, which may encompass this. ArtificialGravity is when this is explicitly a technological feat. Control over gravity is one way a character may create a CorrallingVacuum. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Of note is that control of gravity is sometimes (especially in Japanese media) associated with [[ElementalPowers control over]] [[CastingAShadow darkness]], letting the user create UsefulNotes/BlackHoles. Expect plenty of ArtisticLicensePhysics along the way. This character might also favor purple clothing, because that's the [[ColorCodedElements color]] [[GravityIsPurple gravity often is represented with]]. For marginally more realistic ways to use strong gravity fields, see PoweredByABlackHole. |

| 27 | [[folder:Animation]] |
| 28 | * ''Animation/BoBoiBoy'': Yaya's powers were initially known as [[{{Flight}} flight]] and [[SuperStrength super strength]]. Her true power is gravity manipulation; upon this reveal and onwards, she is also capable of causing others and herself to be bound to earth or to fly, as well as 'control the gravity' of nearby objects, enabling her to make them fly like projectiles. SuperStrength is explained as amplified gravitational force in her direct attacks. |
| 29 | [[/folder]] |
| 30 | |
| 31 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 32 | * Femto of ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' has this as just one of his many abilities upon his ascension as one of the God Hand during the Eclipse, used most prominently to [[spoiler:hurl Guts in full berserker mode away from him as he's having his way with Casca before allowing his minions to hold him down and make him watch]]. |
| 33 | * ''Manga/BlackCat'': TheBrute Maro can both control the gravity around him and project super-dense gravity bombs. |
| 34 | * ''Manga/BlackClover'': Dante Zogratis of the Spade Kingdom, specializes in Gravity Magic. He can use it to increase or decrease the weight of anything he wants, and he demonstrates his power to the Black Bulls by ''leveling a forest''. He can also apply SelectiveGravity to a small scale where needed, augmenting his swordsmanship by quickly and precisely altering the weights of his sword and his arms. When he goes all-out, he can even make singularities capable of obliterating matter in their path. [[spoiler:As it turns out, it's not ''his'' Magic specifically, but rather [[PowersViaPossession that of the devil he's bonded to]]. Said devil is Lucifero, [[SatanicArchetype the most powerful devil in the world]].]] |
| 35 | * ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': |
| 36 | ** Aizen's ace move, Hado #90: Kurohitsugi (Black Coffin)'s effect is stated to be something along these lines during his fight with Ichigo, a sort of localized black hole trap with enough oomph behind it to 'warp time and space' at full incantation, at least according to Aizen himself. |
| 37 | ** To a lesser extent, Izuru Kira (3rd Squad Lieutenant) has a ''zanpakuto'' named Wabisuke. In its released form, the sword ends with a weird square-shaped hook (edge in the hook), but anything struck by this weird blade suddenly becomes twice as heavy, and the effect ''accumulates'' to the point after several hits his opponent is forced onto his knees and helpless for Kira to show [[OffWithHisHead the reason for that odd hook]]. |
| 38 | * ''Manga/BungouStrayDogs'': Chuya's ability lets him manipulate the strength and direction of the gravitational pull of anything he touches. He often uses it creatively to add more force to his punches and kicks. [[spoiler:Also, like Maro above, when in his "Corruption" state he has such fine control that he can pull individual particles together into super-dense balls he throws that almost act like black holes.]] |
| 39 | * ''Manga/BusoRenkin'': [[BigBad Victor Powered's]] great-axe Buso Renkin, Fatal Attraction, has the ability to strengthening, weaken, or even reverse the pull of gravity on an object, allowing him to levitate or crush his enemies. [[AllThereInTheManual According to the author's notes]], at full power Fatal Attraction can create miniature black holes to utterly destroy anything it strikes. |
| 40 | * ''Manga/CastleTownDandelion'': Akane has the power ''Gravity Core'' which allows her to manipulate the weight of herself or anything else she touches, and make them lighter or heavier. She mostly uses this to NotQuiteFlight and run faster than normal. |
| 41 | * ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'': Raifu Wanigawa can alter her personal gravity to make objects orbit around her body before she sends them flying in the direction of her choosing. She likes to use this as an AttackReflector to redirect the trajectory of anything coming at her to hit her enemies, and in a pinch can even bend light with her gravity control to make her opponents see illusions and make their attacks miss her if they're coming at her too fast or close for her to make her powers take effect. |
| 42 | * The [[EldritchAbomination Falling Devil]] from ''Manga/ChainsawMan'' is the AnthropomorphicPersonification of the PrimalFear [[ThePrecariousLedge of falling]], and as such she can manipulate gravity to the extent of making people fall upwards. Later on it's shown that her mere presence on Earth disrupted gravity on a ''global scale'', causing mass casualties worldwide. |
| 43 | * Aion of ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'' anime has this as just one of his many abilities upon his ascension as one of the Sinners during the World, used most prominently to [[spoiler:hurl Chrono in devil mode away from him as he's having his way with Azmaria before allowing his minions to hold him down and make him watch]]. |
| 44 | * ''Anime/CyberpunkEdgerunners'': The [[EvilInc Arasaka]] [[MiniMecha Cyberskeleton]] uses gravitational field generators extensively, allowing it to modify gravity on itself and its surroundings to the point it can crush armored vehicles, punch holes in asphalt, turn human bodies into paste, and even fly with the aid of the thrusters on its back. When [[spoiler:David]] dons it, he becomes a OneManArmy capable of wiping out whole squads of armed-to-the-teeth outlaws ''and'' MegaCorp-backed forces without breaking a sweat. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, even discounting [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul the huge physical and mental strain it puts on the user]], the cyberskeleton is so heavy [[AwesomeButImpractical it needs those same gravitational field generators just to move around]], meaning if those are disabled it's a sitting duck. This leads to its would-be user [[WorldsStrongestMan Adam Smasher]] to dismiss it as a failure, and he exploits that very weakness to destroy it.]] |
| 45 | * ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'': |
| 46 | ** Three examples: First there's a guy who can make himself or any other person weightless in the first episode, but needs to break his finger every time he uses it; another guy can increase the pull of gravity within a certain area, and a third guy with a power similar to the first, briefly seen in [[BookEnds the last episode of the first season]]. |
| 47 | ** Four examples: The OVA features an unnamed female Gravity Master who can make things/people become heavier and/or fall ''up''. |
| 48 | * ''Manga/EdensZero'': |
| 49 | ** Main character Shiki Granbell has the Ether Gear "Satan Gravity", which allows him to alter the gravity of himself or any person and object he touches, allowing them to float, run along walls, and "fall" sideways across great distances when in midair. His weight-shifting abilities also create the illusion of SuperStrength, making his punches hit with the force of a speeding truck, or making a spaceship about as light as a beach ball. According to Shiki, however, there's a limit to how light he can make things. In an even more clever application of his gravity powers, he can convert the kinetic energy of other objects into more extra gravitational force than he himself can generate at a time. He can also create small balls gravity to launch at enemies and create an anti-gravity field to repel projectiles. He also has a LogicalWeakness in that his powers are wonky underwater because buoyancy acts as an opposing force to gravity. [[spoiler:When he uses his [[SuperMode Overdrive]], it's commented by several characters his gravity powers are comparable to that of a ''black hole'', capable of pulling objects towards him, including ''memories'' from other people.]] |
| 50 | ** Demon King Ziggy, Shiki's adoptive grandfather and the original owner of Satan Gravity, was this as well, albeit on a much higher tier. [[spoiler:We get to see how much higher when he CameBackWrong BackFromTheDead as the new BigBad, whereupon he causes ''an entire planet to tear apart'' with its power.]] He can also weaponize gravity on a conceptual level, such as [[spoiler:[[PowerParasite making other's powers "fall" into him]].]] [[spoiler:The irony being that he's a time-displaced version of ''Shiki'' from a BadFuture.]] |
| 51 | ** Xenolith, the OldMaster who originally trained Ziggy, is capable of such feats as pinning down an entire ''planet's'' worth of robots as well as [[SemanticSuperpower manipulating "figurative" concepts]] like "lightening" someone's pain [[HealingHands to relieve their injuries]] or "attracting" someone's feelings to become TheEmpath. |
| 52 | ** Poseidon Shura is another gravity wielder, albeit much crueler than Shiki or Ziggy [[spoiler:pre-turn to villainy]]. Unlike Shiki, who prefers to manipulate his own personal gravity, Shura prefers manipulating other objects' gravity, allowing him to manipulate objects in a manner similar to {{Telekinesis}} from ripping whole wrecked spaceships out of the earth to disassembling an object and manipulating its inner components. In his first scene, he reverses gravity on two of his hookers for pissing him off and sends them smashing into the ceiling so hard it kills them and causes their blood to rain down quite graphically (though the conditions of their bodies thankfully are never seen). Unlike the previously-mentioned, however, Shura is both IncompletelyTrained and UnskilledButStrong, lacking the ability to manipulate "true" gravity that would let him affect figurative and conceptual things with his power. |
| 53 | * ''Manga/FairyTail'': |
| 54 | ** Bluenote Stinger, who can pin people down, alter the landscape, and even create black holes. |
| 55 | ** Kagura Mikazuchi, in addition to being a MasterSwordsman, uses Gravity Change magic, which lets her alter the gravity of any target, including herself, either by making them lighter or heavier, or changing the direction of its pull. She also taught fellow Mermaid Heel member Risley Law this magic. |
| 56 | ** The Celestial Spirit Libra can alter gravity by tilting the scales she carries. However, Kagura was powerful enough to cancel her gravity alterations with her own. |
| 57 | * ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'': Julian Ainsworth has a Noble Phantasm called Authoritarian Personalism: Faceless Jet-black Sovereign. When activated, it causes people to be pinned by extremely strong gravity. He can even choose who it affects, so he and his allies can move around fine while his enemies are rendered helpless. |
| 58 | * ''Manga/FlameOfRecca'': [[spoiler:Joker]] has a madogu which grants this ability - though [[spoiler:he initially pretends to simply possess incredible strength.]] |
| 59 | * ''Manga/{{Guyver}}'': |
| 60 | ** At least one Zoalord, Richard Guyot, has the power to manipulate gravity. His most basic attack, Gravity Bullets, fires tiny orbs of super-gravity clean through a target, while his ultimate move, Gravity Crusher, creates a black hole -- when he first uses it, even the other Zoalords call him insane, warning that he could potentially consume the Earth and everything on it with that attack. |
| 61 | ** The Guyver units themselves have gravity control via the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Gravity Medal]] at the waist. The basic version allows flight and powers the Pressure Cannon attack but the Gigantic Exceed version can also use a black hole, with considerably more control than Guyot demonstrated. |
| 62 | * All [[RobotGirl Automated Dolls]] in ''Literature/HorizonInTheMiddleOfNowhere'', and by extension TheVerse of the author, have the ability to manipulate gravity. They've been seen using it to move ships, put up barriers, fight horizontally, to emulate [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Gate of Babylon]], or even compress concrete into giant swords and guns to fight GiantMecha ''on foot''. [[{{Meido}} And for some reason, most of them are dressed like maids.]] |
| 63 | * Genshi Tenson from ''Manga/HoshinEngi'' wields the super paope Bankohan, which takes the form of a large black orb the size of a basketball constantly producing smaller clusters of orbs around the user. Its powers allow him to alter and increase gravity in an area, which can cause black holes and severe risks of destroying the surrounding environment. He nearly kills [[ImplacableMan Bunchuu with it]]. |
| 64 | * ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': |
| 65 | ** In ''Manga/DiamondIsUnbreakable'', Koichi Hirose's Echoes Act 3. Its primary ability is to increase gravity on one object, to the point where they can hardly move at all. Bizarrely, said ability seems to come from Echoes' ability to manipulate sounds.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Specifically, Act 3 claims that all he has to do is to change "Three" into "Freeze", which sound very similar to each other when transliterated into Japanese. So, Echoes Act '''Three''' has the ability to '''freeze''' objects in place (via gravitational force).[[/labelnote]] |
| 66 | ** ''Manga/StoneOcean'': |
| 67 | *** The Stand [[spoiler:C-Moon (user: Enrico Pucci)]]. The user becomes the center of a 3 km. reverse-gravity radius (aka. everything falls ''away'' from the user). Also, everything punched by the Stand will [[BodyHorror turn inside out]]. |
| 68 | *** Spit of Lang Rangler's Jumpin' Jack Flash can make objects and people weightless. Not only that, but everything touched by the affected person or object also becomes weightless, starting a chain reaction. Main danger of this ability is the fact, that it affects air around the victim, eventually creating vacuum around them. |
| 69 | * ''Anime/{{K}}'': [[spoiler:Isana Yashiro]] |
| 70 | * ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'': [[WickedWitch Fabia Crozelg]] has a gravity increasing {{Curse}} called Gravity Bless. People enchanted with it will suddenly find themselves forcefully pinned into the ground even if they were fighting in a zero-G area. |
| 71 | * ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': Ochaco Uraraka has pads on her fingertips that can reduce the gravity of whatever she touches to zero, making it near weightless. Her main weakness is that if she overuses her powers she suffers vertigo symptoms. |
| 72 | * ''Manga/MyHime'': Isaac, Alyssa's Child from the manga, can manipulate gravity. |
| 73 | * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': |
| 74 | ** [[spoiler:The Deva Path of]] Pain is able to manipulate gravity to use different techniques to push objects away from him (Shinra Tensei) and pull them toward him (Bansho Ten'nin). [[spoiler:Nagato, the body's controller, can also do these as well as launch a black sphere that sucks in everything around it (Chibaku Tensei). He uses up a large amount of chakra to create a Shinra Tensei that completely levels the city of Konoha.]]. There is a period of time between each use, the length of which is dependent upon how much power is put into the technique. |
| 75 | ** Onoki, the Tsuchikage, can greatly increase or decrease the weight of an object, though it seems he's changing it's mass instead of just its weight. |
| 76 | ** In ancient times, the [[PhysicalGod Sage of the Six Paths]] wielded the same gravity powers as Pain. [[spoiler:Except he was vastly stronger, and his Chibaku Tensei ''created the moon''.]] |
| 77 | %%* ''Manga/{{Needless}}'': Seto. |
| 78 | * ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'': Albireo Imma is a master of gravity magic, his most common spell being massively increasing gravity's effect on his opponent, though he has other tricks up his sleeve. Sequel series ''Manga/UQHolder'' reveals that he created a katana with a dial on it that controls how much gravity can affect the sword. When turned down, the blade is effectively weightless. When turned up, it becomes ''incredibly'' heavy (and thus, hits that much harder). It's unknown how high the dial goes, but a ''10,000x gravity'' setting is known to exist. |
| 79 | * ''Manga/{{Nobunagun}}'': Jess Beckman, the reincarnation of UsefulNotes/IsaacNewton, can increase the gravity of anything she stomps on, so anything she stomps on will be pinned down and eventually go squish. |
| 80 | * ''Manga/OnePiece'': |
| 81 | ** The Yami Yami no Mi (Dark-Dark Fruit), which was eaten by Blackbeard, can make a dark miasma that crushes whatever it covers, or can suck anything into it (which Blackbeard can also regurgitate back out). Blackbeard can also pull anyone directly to himself by pulling them towards him, which goes hand-in-hand with his ability to negate Devil Fruit powers by simply touching the user. Unfortunately, this also leads to two major weaknesses: since the fruit's powers pull everything towards him, projectiles slightly home towards him and attacks which hit him are actually ''increased'' in strength a bit, and it keeps his physical form compacted, preventing him from turning into his element to avoid attacks like other Logia powers. |
| 82 | ** A smaller example is Miss Valentine of Baroque Works. Her Kilo Kilo no Mi (Kilo-Kilo Fruit) allows her to make her own weight anywhere between 1 to 10,000 kilograms, letting her float around with her parasol or crush someone like an egg. Later on, we see there's a Ton Ton no Mi (Ton-Ton Fruit), which works exactly like the Kilo-Kilo Fruit, but with tonnes instead of kilograms. |
| 83 | ** A representative example of this power appears after the TimeSkip in the form of Issho, a.k.a. Admiral Fujitora. His Zushi Zushi no Mi (lit. Thud-Thud Fruit) grants him the ability to straight-up manipulate gravity. By doing so, he can create gravity wells, barriers, levitate large objects, send gravitational forces in any direction, or '''ColonyDrop''' his enemies by using gravity to bring down ''meteorites'' on them. |
| 84 | ** Machvise, member of the Donquixote family possesses ability to change his weight, similar to abovementioned Miss Valentine. However, abilities of his Ton-Ton no Mi (Ton-Ton Fruit) are significantly stronger, allowing him to increase his weight up to 10,000 tons (although, unlike the Kilo-Kilo Fruit, he apparently cannot reduce his own weight). Naturally, he fights by jumping into the air, and falling on his opponents. |
| 85 | * ''Manga/{{Psyren}}'': [[spoiler:Asuka, Ageha's father]], has this as his Psi powers. When using his strongest form he can downright slow time in a limited area, which allows the protagonists to train for 3 days in only 2 hours. |
| 86 | * ''Manga/RaveMaster'': Pumpkin Doryuu wields the Sinclair Dark Bring "Vampire", whose power of Darkness allows him to attract and repeal bodies around him, making Doryuu a MasterSwordsman in combat as he can repel enemy assaults and attracts enemies to himself when he attacks. He can even "pull people into Darkness", represented by the victim having circular pieces of himself being sucked in the Dark Bring one at a time. |
| 87 | * ''Manga/Reborn2004'': [[spoiler:Kozato Enma]] seems to have powers based around gravity, but the full extent of these powers is not yet revealed. |
| 88 | * ''Manga/SamuraiDeeperKyo'': Chinmei, one of the Five Stars [[spoiler:and the 2nd Red Cross Knight]] of has this power, as well as the bad guy in psycho academy. He mostly uses it to fly, [[DishingOutDirt manipulate rocks]] and, when serious, summoning Black Holes. |
| 89 | * ''Anime/SuperDragonBallHeroes'': Hearts the God Hater can create energy cages that drastically increase the gravity inside, powerful enough to pin down people like Goku, Vegeta, and Jiren. He can make the cages as big as planets and in his SuperMode, he can increase gravity enough to annihilate immortal beings. |
| 90 | * ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'': Hero Golden Ryan / Ryan Goldsmith can increase the gravity over a given area in front of him, using it to incapacitate anyone caught in it through sheer crushing pressure. |
| 91 | * ''Manga/TokyoUnderground'': Chelsea Rorec is apparently the only ''gravity'' Elemental User (fire was not cool enough, ya know). |
| 92 | * ''Manga/ZatchBell'': Brago, Zatch's initial [[TheRival rival]], casts spells that increase gravity to crushing levels over an area of effect. They're associated with darkness, as both said spells and his personal color scheme are mostly black. |
| 93 | [[/folder]] |
| 94 | |
| 95 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 96 | * ''ComicBook/CaptainGravity'': Whoever grabs Element 115 gains the power to manipulate gravity, like [[spoiler:Hunac Ceel and [[TheProtagonist Joshua Jones]]]]. |
| 97 | * ''Franchise/TheDCU'': |
| 98 | ** ''ComicBook/TheFlash'': In ''ComicBook/TheFlashRebirth'', people who can tap into the Strength Force, which include Alexa Antigone/Fuerza, Hunter Zolomon/Zoom, Axel Walker/Trickster, and Barry Allen naturally gain SuperStrength. The Strength Force also grants control over gravity, density, and mass as well as DishingOutDirt powers. However, Fuerza rarely used the gravity powers as she felt beating people up with her super strong fists was more enjoyable. |
| 99 | ** ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'': |
| 100 | *** Ayla Ranzz, in "Light Lass" mode, has the ability to cancel gravity to make things float in the air. |
| 101 | *** Star Boy has gravity powers of his own. Interestingly, [[DependingOnTheWriter in some versions]], most notably pretty much all of the Postboot continuity, Star Boy's power is increasing (or occasionally decreasing) a specific object's gravitational ''mass'', thus affecting the weight of that object and that object alone. |
| 102 | ** ''ComicBook/{{The Outsiders|DCComics}}'': Geo-Force, sort of, but all of his powers are specifically connected to the Earth. |
| 103 | ** ''ComicBook/{{Starman|DCComics}}'': Almost every version of Starman. However, they largely derive from the gravity or cosmic rod. |
| 104 | ** ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'': In ''ComicBook/StrangersAtTheHeartsCore'', the Gravitron Man and Gravity Lord have a disruptor backpack and a gravitronic ray gun which can affect and alter the fields of gravitational force around any physical body, including Earth. |
| 105 | ** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'': |
| 106 | *** Back in the Golden Age under her original writers Wonder Woman, had the ability to drastically alter her weight termed "Gravity Control". It was evidently just a matter of training and tied to the Amazons' SupernaturalMartialArts. |
| 107 | *** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': The Saturnians have developed two different types of rays that temporarily alter the way gravity works on the target. |
| 108 | * ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'': In one of the Creator/DonRosa ''Scrooge [=McDuck=]'' stories to feature Magica [=DeSpell=], "A Matter of Some Gravity," she uses a special magic wand on Scrooge and Donald to change the direction of their personal gravity. At first it becomes horizontal so they're doing things like walking on walls, but when they catch up with her she changes it even further to vertical, so they have to be damn careful not to fall into the sky. |
| 109 | %%* ''ComicBook/Gen13'': Roxy "Freefall" Spaulding.%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample |
| 110 | * ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'': |
| 111 | ** ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'': The supervillain Graviton. Unlike most users of this power, he was a juggernaut capable of taking on entire Avengers teams -- indeed, in ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'', they formed specifically to stop him. |
| 112 | ** ''ComicBook/ClanDestine'': Rory, one of the youngest of the titular superpowered family, can use his gravity powers to fly, ignore bullets, contain explosions and (when combined with his sister Pandora's energy powers) bend light to make things invisible. He decides to fight crime in the costumed identity of the Crimson Crusader. |
| 113 | ** ''ComicBook/DP7'': Deadweight, a UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} assassin from is #29 of ComicBook/TheNewUniverse series, can increase the weight of his targets. |
| 114 | ** ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': The Wizard has [[SwissArmySuperpower vague but highly effective powers]] in this area. Basically, he can do anything [[BarrierWarrior the Invisible Woman]] can do [[{{Dissimile}} except turn invisible]]. |
| 115 | ** ''ComicBook/{{Gravity}}'': The superhero named Gravity. Guess what his superpower is. |
| 116 | ** ''ComicBook/{{Nova}}'': Richard Rider has control of the Nova Force, which grants him gravimetric powers. |
| 117 | ** ''ComicBook/PowerPack'': Alex Power often has this power; because of the [[PowersAsPrograms interchangeable nature]] of Power Pack's abilities, all of his siblings have had it at one point or another, but Alex is most commonly associated with it. |
| 118 | ** ''ComicBook/XForce'': Risque create localized gravity fields which cause inorganic matter to compress into small, high-density masses. She can telekinetically propel objects at high velocities as well as create concussive blasts of psychokinetic energy. |
| 119 | ** ''ComicBook/XMen'': Harry Leland, the original Black Bishop of the Hellfire Club, used it to [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp]] ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'' by making him so heavy that he crashed through the floor and landed in the sewers. However, he's also a fat man who does very little exercise, so not only is he vulnerable to someone catching him off guard, he also died from the strain of using his powers to bring Sebastian Shaw, who had been tossed into orbit, down on the original Nimrod Sentinel with the force of a small meteor. |
| 120 | * ''ComicBook/TheTransformersRobotsInDisguise'': Victorion, the [[CombiningMecha combined form]] of the Torchbearers. She can use gravity manipulation to fly, trap foes in gravity fields, or make herself virtually invisible by bending light. |

| 125 | %%* ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'': As part of his power upgrades, Kyon gets this. |
| 126 | %%* ''Fanfic/{{Luminosity}}'': One of the minor Volturi is mentioned to have this, in a fairly limited way. |
| 127 | * ''Webcomic/PureLight'': Gravity is an element normally accessible only to purple dragons. The lung Casi can also control it, and uses it to move objects, throw enemies about, and fly despite his lack of wings. The fact that this should not be possible for a non-purple dragon is what clues the Chronicler in that Casi isn't what he seems. |
| 128 | * ''Fanfic/RiseOfTheGaleforces'' gives us [[OCStandIn Kate Squall, aka Apogee,]] who can wield black holes, gravity bolts, and levitation fields to great effect. It's not shown a lot, but damn, does it look [[RuleOfCool impressive!]] |
| 129 | %%* ''Fanfic/CRISISEquestria'': Grayscale Force, EvilCounterpart of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rainbow Dash]]. |
| 130 | * ''Fanfic/ThisPlatinumCrown'': Lord Cruciger's magical abilities allow him to increase gravity to a high enough level to completely suppress enemies. He also occasionally drops castles on people, er, ponies, with this power. |
| 131 | * ''Fanfic/TheBridge'' seems to have this as a genetic trait for Ghidorahs. Grand King Ghidorah can fire beams of plasma netted with gravitons, manipulate his body to fly faster; and levitate objects in a form of telekinesis. Monster X and Kaizer Ghidorah have the same abilities, though with some variations. [[spoiler:After absorbing some of Kaizer Ghidorah's energy into her necklace, Aria Blaze begins to be able to do this too, but [[HowDoIShotWeb doesn't know how to control it]], until Monster X starts training her. Later, Adagio Dazzle absorbs some of Monster X's power and gains this ability.]] |
| 132 | * ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'': Leo, one of Celestia's brothers, is the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Gravity. Of course, given he's a Concept, more accurately he ''is'' Gravity. |
| 133 | * ''Fanfic/EquestriaAcrossTheMultiverse'': One of the tribes of the alien Celestial Ponies are the Graviton Ponies, who have the ability to manipulate their personal gravity and anything they're touching. As their Alicorn equal, Queen Asteria and Princess Nova also have this ability. |
| 134 | * ''Fanfic/AmazingFantasy'': The Prowler is able to manipulate her own gravity, allowing her to run on walls and ceilings. She can also apply this to things she's riding, letting her drive her motorcycle along a wall. |
| 135 | * ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20603165/chapters/48917525 Uravitation]]'': Along with her canon abilities to reduce mass to zero, Uraraka can also manipulate her ''own'' mass, increase mass, manipulate gravity from a distance, ''outright fly'', attract objects to each other, and so on. |
| 136 | * ''Fanfic/RWBYZero'': Hazel Rainart has a Noble Phantasm that increases his target's weight proportional to how old it is. Since Servants are from ancient times, it affects them more severely than regular people. Regular people are simply pinned, Servants start to sink into the ground. |
| 137 | * ''Fanfic/{{DNMC}}'': Master Aztec can change which direction is down for her using her Semblance, allowing her to increase her speed by letting gravity pull on her diagonally, run up walls, and even fly.[[note]]Though, for personal reasons, she chooses not to.[[/note]] [[AllThereInTheManual According to her bio]], she can also use this to give anyone she's grabbing an aerial advantage. |
| 138 | * ''Webcomic/ScoobAndShag'': [[WesternAnimation/CloneHigh JFK's]] Ballyhoo allows him to manipulate the gravity of inanimate objects, making them orbit around himself. His gravity pull is incredibly strong, which means that any object he affects can accelerate until it becomes a ''very'' fast projectile -- and he's pretty good at directing them where he wants them to go. |
| 139 | * ''Fanfic/AMoonAndWorldApart'': In chapter 26, Cadance makes use of a spell that increases a target's personal gravity, making them feel too heavy to move, against a group of attacking ponies. |

| 142 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 143 | * The ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise has the Ghidorahs as stated above. In most appearances, King Ghidorah can shoot golden Gravity Beams from its mouths to blast or even lift opponents. In ''Film/RebirthOfMothra3'', it can even use gravity to lift itself up after losing one of its wings. In ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'', Monster X can shoot gravity beams from its eyes and levitate off the ground and as Kaizer Ghidorah, it can use its gravity beams to toss rubble to harass Godzilla and then toss him around like a rag doll. |
| 144 | * ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3'': Through a combination of cybernetics and BioAugmentation, The High Evolutionary has the ability to control gravity around him. [[spoiler:It ultimately proves useless against Rocket's [[ChekhovsGun gravity boots]], which allow him to wall on any surface while ignoring gravity, leaving the High Evolutionary defenseless against a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from all of the Guardians.]] |
| 145 | [[/folder]] |
| 146 | |
| 147 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 148 | * ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'': |
| 149 | ** Biagio Busoni, who increases his opponent's personal gravity until they can barely move. |
| 150 | ** Accelerator, whose power of redirecting ANY movement vector can perfectly mimic gravity control, simply by redirecting gravity in whatever direction he pleases, to the point where he has to consciously allow gravity to affect him. |
| 151 | * ''Literature/ChrysalisRinoZ'': In an early evolution, Anthony gains access to a gland that gradually converts regular mana into gravity-attributed mana, with a variety of interesting effects. It can yank an enemy closer, stick other enemies to the target, make nearby enemies (but not allies) extremely heavy, or even, with sufficient effort, create temporary miniature black holes that act as Anthony's NuclearOption against tough foes. |
| 152 | * In ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', gravity control is a subset of Earth Magic, and as a result of the main character's lack of skill with that branch of magic, it only really shows up once. It takes awhile to pull off, but the results are devastating. |
| 153 | ** To sum up: [[spoiler:gravity vanishes from an area miles in radius for a quarter of a second... and is focused into an area "perhaps two hundred yards across". Nothing in that area survives]]. Not subtle. |
| 154 | * Dekka from the ''Literature/{{Gone}}'' series. |
| 155 | * Both Sullivan and [[spoiler:his brother]] Madi have this power in ''[[Literature/TheGrimnoirChronicles Hard Magic]]''. Sullivan had enough time to practice with it in prison that he's able to do things that other Heavies never even dreamed of. |
| 156 | * Torque, the Team One IPB leader in ''Literature/TheInfected'' has this power. He can slam and pin any one person to the ground with increased gravity. One on the one hand, this only affects one person at a time and won't help much if four guys jump him. On the other, he can ''pin anyone to the ground'' no matter how strong they are, which lets him punch way above his official weight class. |
| 157 | * The [[LizardFolk K'Chain Che'Malle]] in ''Literature/TheMalazanBookOfTheFallen'' have this as their primary [[FunctionalMagic Warren.]] |
| 158 | * In ''Literature/NewJediOrder'', the Yuuzhan Vong have creatures called [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dovin_basal dovin basals]] that are able to manipulate gravity in various ways. They use these creatures as propulsion systems for their [[OrganicTechnology organic]] [[LivingShip starships]], as well as for defensive (they can open micro-black holes to suck up incoming missiles and blaster fire) and offensive (they can strip away the DeflectorShields of conventional starfighters) purposes. At several points in the series, particularly powerful dovin basals are used to destroy entire planets by [[ColonyDrop pulling the planet’s moon(s) out of orbit into a collision course]]. |
| 159 | * ''Literature/{{Protector}}'' features Jack Brennan, who discovers how to create a "gravity polarizer" and uses it to build a Super Mario Galaxy-style planet out past the orbit of Pluto, with a gravity lens bringing in light from the Sun. |
| 160 | * In ''Literature/ShadowOfTheConqueror,'' some [[ComboPlatterPowers Worldbinders]] can manipulate gravity, with a [[MasterOfOneMagic specialized user]] of the ability (like Kennet) being referred to as a Graviten. |
| 161 | * The title character in the ''Literature/SimonBloom'' books gains this power relatively early in the first book. |
| 162 | * [[ProfessionalKiller Szeth son-son]] [[MagicKnight Vallano]] from ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'' is a specific kind of "Surgebinder" with access to a set of powers he calls "Lashings" which turn out to be from the Order of Windrunners of the legendary [[MagicKnight Knights Radiant]]. There are three kinds of Lashings which actually come from two different surges, Gravitation and Adhesion. A Basic Lashing allows the user to redirect or redifine the effect of gravity on any object they touch (including themselves), causing objects to "fall" in any direction, including straight up. Reverse Lashings increase the gravitational pull of an object, allowing to to draw other objects towards it. Full Lashings are not actually gravitation based at all, but use Adhesion to stick objects together with a nearly unbreakable bond. All three abilities (and all other forms of surgebinding) require a source of [[{{Mana}} Stormlight]] to use. Like all magic in Literature/TheCosmere, this has its own very deliberate rules, with the Glossary to the first book [[SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic documenting some of them in-universe]]. The Order of Skybreakers also have access to Gravitation, though their second surge is [[ReducedToDust Division]] instead of Adhesion. |
| 163 | * In ''Literature/SuperPowereds'', [[spoiler:Alice Adair]] is introduced as [[spoiler:a flyer]], but eventually discovers that [[spoiler:she]] is actually this and that [[spoiler:flying]] is merely the most basic manifestation of it. |
| 164 | * ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'': Sugou uses his VirtualRealityWarper powers to increase the gravity around Kirito and Asuna and render them helpless. [[spoiler:They are saved when Kayaba's VirtualGhost grants Kirito admin privileges, allowing him to shut off Sugou's powers.]] |
| 165 | * Leviathan in ''Literature/UnlimitedFafnir'' is a whale-like dragon with this power. It uses it to levitate its enormous body and to create repulsive fields that can be used offensively or defensively. The fields can be shot forward as an attack that literally splits the sea, or used to deflect any attack (even antimatter projectiles and lasers). [[spoiler:After killing Leviathan, Yuu inherits a weaker version of its power.]] |
| 166 | * In ''Literature/VillainDotNet'', this is one of the 6 [[MetaOrigin Core Powers]], and when all the MacGuffin crystals containing it are properly assembled into their wand shape, full control is gained (though it ''is'' possible to use it to s lesser extent with fewer). Jake accidentally uses it to create a ''black hole'' in the last book, putting the moon on a "crash course" towards the Earth. |
| 167 | * Hiram Worchester from ''Literature/WildCards'' can make things lighter or heavier by enhancing or lessening the gravitational pull on them. |
| 168 | * ''Literature/{{Worm}}'': |
| 169 | ** Topsy from ''Worm'' has a wide area-effect power to make gravity go in whatever direction he wants, be it left, right or up. |
| 170 | ** Snag from ''Literature/{{Ward}}'' can manipulate his own personal gravity to "fall" in any direction he wants. |
| 171 | [[/folder]] |
| 172 | |
| 173 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 174 | * ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' has Graviton, based on the classic Comics supervillain, although this time he's [[spoiler:Glenn Talbot instead of Franklin Hall]]. |
| 175 | * Bunta Daichi from ''Series/JAKQDengekitai'' has this as part of his powers as [[TheBigGuy Clover King]]. Soukichi Banba, [[SpotlightStealingSquad being]] [[AllYourPowersCombined Big One]], can also use it. |
| 176 | * Shouji of the Heavenly Gravity Star from ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger'' uses this power. |
| 177 | * [[Series/KamenRiderOOO Kamen Rider OOO]]'s [=SaGoZo=] Combo. |
| 178 | * Series/KamenRiderWizard in his Land Dragon Form, by using the Gravity Ring; its FinishingMove involves lifting the opponent off the ground, then slamming them back down into it extra-hard. The White Wizard has his own version. |
| 179 | * ''Series/KamenRiderGhost'' has Ghost’s Newtown Damashii form, based off Sir Isaac Newton. |
| 180 | * ''Series/KamenRiderGeats'' has Kamen Rider Ziin manipulate gravity to give himself an edge and make his opponents barely able to even ''try'' to fight him, as suddenly the wall is the floor or vice versa, and they and their attacks 'fall' every which way but down. He also uses his gravity powers to levitate. |
| 181 | * On ''Series/BabylonFive'', Ambassador Delenn has a [[RingOfPower Gravity Ring]] that allows her to manipulate gravity as a weapon. [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness It is only seen in the pilot and never spoken of again.]] |
| 182 | ** Artificial gravity is a common technology for the most races except humans, so only humans have rotating parts in their spaceships to provide comfortable gravity. |
| 183 | * ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise''. In the MirrorUniverse episode, the crew find themselves fighting a [[TheDreaded Gorn]], whom they eventually defeat by increasing the artificial gravity on the deck plate the Gorn is standing on. |
| 184 | * On the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E9Flatline Flatline]]", it is revealed that the TARDIS manipulates its own gravity. The outside of the BiggerOnTheInside TARDIS has shrunk with the Doctor trapped inside, and the FridgeLogic of the TARDIS' weight matching its disguised appearance and not its massive true size and contents is answered: |
| 185 | -->'''Doctor:''' Clara, I need you to pick up the TARDIS. Carefully. It should be possible; I've adjusted the relative gravity.\ |
| 186 | '''Clara:''' You mean you've made it lighter.\ |
| 187 | '''Doctor:''' Clara, it's always lighter! If the TARDIS were to land with its true weight, it would fracture the surface of the Earth. |
| 188 | [[/folder]] |
| 189 | |
| 190 | [[folder:Pinballs]] |
| 191 | * In ''Pinball/{{Stargate}}'', hitting the Horus Guardian statues blocking your path causes them to float up and out of the way. |
| 192 | [[/folder]] |
| 193 | |
| 194 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 195 | * The ''TabletopGame/{{Aberrant}}'' RPG power "Gravity Control". |
| 196 | * ''TabletopGame/AnimaBeyondFantasy'' has the spells in the Earth school allowing the caster to decrease, augment, and manipulate gravity-most of them very high level. |
| 197 | * ''Champions'' has Gravity Control as a power set. |
| 198 | ** Among the most powerful beings in the Champions setting is the aptly named villainess Gravitar. While she wants to (and could) use her powers to conquer the world, she tends to be [[BrilliantButLazy lazy]] or use her powers for [[EvilIsPetty petty reasons]] (such as threatening to destroy Seattle unless Defender went on a date with her). |
| 199 | ** The frog-like [[LittleGreenMen Gadroon]] race practically embodies this trope, having access to absurdly advanced (and extremely lethal) gravitic technology at their disposal. |
| 200 | * ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': |
| 201 | ** The classic spells ''reverse gravity'' and ''feather fall'' / ''anvil fall'' (changes the terminal velocity). |
| 202 | ** ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms''' "Pages from the Mages" has the ''lessen gravity'' spell. |
| 203 | ** ''TabletopGame/{{Spelljammer}}'' has Gravs -- dwarflike (but three times as dense) humanoids who can reduce gravity, usually when hauling stuff around or suspending those who bother them too much in the air, until the grav decides to move away or affect something else. |
| 204 | ** There is also the gravity master class. {{Magic Knight}}s capable of manipulating gravity to [[SuperStrength increase their weapon damage and make them harder to knock down]], [[SuperSpeed increase their speed similar to the biotic charge from]] ''VideoGame/MassEffect2,'' and [[MegatonPunch hit the ground hard enough to knock other people over.]] |
| 205 | ** The gravorg is a magical beast that looks like a giant fluffy sloth. It hunts by reversing gravity on its prey and bouncing them off the ground until they die. |
| 206 | ** In Fifth Edition, amethyst dragons' breath weapon is a wave of gravitational force. |
| 207 | ** Fifth Edition eventually canonised ''WebVideo/CriticalRole''[='s=] dunamancy magic as official content in the ''Explorer's Guide to Wildemount''. This includes a small smattering of gravity-themed spells such as ''magnify gravity'', ''gravity sinkhole'', and ''gravity fissure'', along with a gravity-themed wizard school called graviturgy magic. |
| 208 | * ''TabletopGame/MageTheAwakening'' features rotes allowing for the control of gravity at Forces 5. |
| 209 | * The ''TabletopGame/MutantsAndMasterminds'' power "Gravity Control". It only does two things- lessen gravity and increase it in a bubble around you, making it a cheaper version of Telekinesis. It should be noted: This being ''Mutants & Masterminds'', you can buy "alternate powers" to represent different forms of Gravity manipulation. |
| 210 | * ''TabletopGame/CthulhuTech'' has gravikinetic [[PsychicPowers parapsychics]]. |
| 211 | * ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' has Grav weaponry, which causes pinning, and uses the enemy's armour save as its to-wound roll. Gravguns squish the toughest enemies under the increased weight of their own armour, at the cost of being basically useless against enemies wearing little or no armour. |
| 212 | * Somakinetics in ''TabletopGame/PsionicsTheNextStageInHumanEvolution'' subtly and unconsciously affect gravity around them to exercise their muscles without moving and boost their strength and speed at will. |
| 213 | [[/folder]] |
| 214 | |
| 215 | [[folder:Toys]] |
| 216 | * ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'' |
| 217 | ** There's Toa of Gravity and Kanohi Garai, Mask of Gravity. While they were never really shown in detail, the Dark Hunter Lariska mentions she once fought such a Toa whose favorite tactic was to avoid his enemy's attacks and then erase the gravity around them to leave them floating helplessly to make them easy to deal with. Having scouted him out, she practiced fighting while affected by Levitation Kanohi Disks to be ready for it. |
| 218 | --->"And he wasn't ready for me being ready." |
| 219 | ** Nuhvok-Kal made extensive use of this power, having used it to send a swarm of Tahnok reprogrammed by Tahu Nuva into orbit before increasing the gravity on the Toa himself to bury him in the sand. [[spoiler:When its power went out of control from overload, its own gravity powers ''crushed it into a singularity''.]] |
| 220 | ** The Makuta species can also control gravity, and, in turn, spawn Rahkshi of Gravity. As shown by Makuta Icarax [[spoiler:attempting and making progress in destroying the Codrex with his power before being interrupted]], they're more than capable of crushing large buildings like overripe fruit. |
| 221 | [[/folder]] |
| 222 | |
| 223 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 224 | * In ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology'' Atlas' divine power is the Implosion: a sphere that use gravity to suck all the enemy units in its radius (it even bends nearby buildings) and then explodes, spitting back the surviving enemies. |
| 225 | * ''VideoGame/{{Amorphous}}'' has the [[BossInMookClothing Void Eater]]. It's a BlobMonster with extremely high, compressed density, allowing it to manipulate gravity. It can: |
| 226 | ** Utilize a gravitational field to draw the player towards it. |
| 227 | ** Compress and decompress itself to send out a [[InstantDeathRadius deadly shockwave]]. |
| 228 | ** "Collect and compress local particles and then project this incredibly dense material in a type of 'Density Stream' which would draw in and obliterate any nearby matter". In other words, a DisintegratorRay that [[OhCrap sucks the player towards it]]. |
| 229 | * In ''VideoGame/ApexLegends'', Horizon has her abilities revolving around gravity manipulation. Her tactical ability lets her create a vortex lift that lifts anyone above it vertically into the air. Her passive ability prevents her from experiencing the momentary stun that normally affects legends who fall from tall lights. Her ultimate involves spawning a non-lethal Black Hole that pulls nearby legends into its center. Her finishing moves are also gravity-related, which can involve her either lifting a downed opponent into the air before slamming them into the ground or sucking them into a Black Hole. |
| 230 | * ''VideoGame/ArmedAndDangerous'' had the Topsy-Turvy Bomb, an awesome gravity-controlling weapon that first anchors the player to the ground, and then somehow [[GravityScrew flips reality upside-down, causing any nearby enemies to fall into the sky]] then back to the ground when it turns off. |
| 231 | * ''VideoGame/{{Bioforge}}'': The entire race of Phyxx. Their civilization was built upon the mastery of gravity. The upper class lives in low gravity cities where little physical effort is needed, while the worker/soldier class were grown in high gravity environments to make them stronger. |
| 232 | * The ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' DLC patch ''Minerva's Den'' introduced the "Gravity Well" plasmid, which allows you to throw a ball that exerts a massive gravitational pull which can suck in all the enemies and objects around it for a short period, immobilising them. |
| 233 | * ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' features the "Bucking Bronco" vigor, allowing the player to release a wave of energy that launches and suspends enemies up in the air, leaving them helpless for you to wail on them with gunfire or other powers. |
| 234 | * Black-aligned [[FunctionalMagic elements]] in ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'' invoke precisely the non-distinction between gravity and darkness described in the page intro. This is because the creators wanted a ColorCodedForYourConvenience magic scheme with a range of ElementalPowers but, for simplicity's sake, all represented by only six [[ElementNumberFive or seven]] colors, so every magic color in the game covers multiple elements. |
| 235 | * Gravity Control is one of the powers in the MMO ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'', available to the Controller and Dominator archetypes. |
| 236 | * In an example of this trope crossing over with CastingAShadow, the main character in ''VideoGame/TheDarkness'' can do this as part of his suite of darkness-themed superpowers, generating a miniature black hole that sucks everything in the vicinity into it. The sequel had him instead take one in lieu of a heart from one of his victims at random to use as a makeshift grenade. |
| 237 | * Quantum-Genesis heroes in ''VideoGame/{{Darkspore}}'' are either this or TimeMaster. |
| 238 | * Whalers in ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'' can telekinetically pull Corvo towards them. Daud also has this ability in ''The Knife of Dunwall''. |
| 239 | * The Origin Crisis DLC for ''[[VideoGame/DCUniverseOnline DCUO]]'' includes a Quantum powerset, which has a mixture of TimeMaster powers and this. |
| 240 | * A mage player character in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' can take the Force Mage specialization, which is... well, it's this trope. The player character's mage sister Bethany will become one if she lives past Act I of the game. |
| 241 | * The Sorceress of ''VideoGame/DragonsCrown'' has the Gravity spell, which creates a black dome that [[GravitySucks forcibly drags every enemy caught in it towards its center]] while simultaneously damaging them. Putting more skill points in it increases both the dome's radius and the strength of the gravity pull. |
| 242 | * ''VideoGame/EldenRing'': Gravity magic is a subset of Sorcery, so it's entirely possible to build your character as one, regardless of the lore figures below. |
| 243 | ** Gravity magic is the provenance of star-spawn creatures, such as the Alabaster & Onyx Lords, Fallingstar Beasts, Malformed Stars, and Astels. The Alabaster and Onyx Lords are sapient and capable of teaching their magic to others (Radahn, below, learned from an Alabaster Lord), while the others are essentially animals who happen to be able to summon meteors to hunt and defend themselves. |
| 244 | ** General "[[RedBaron Starscourge]]" Radahn is a hulking 20-foot tall demigod whose mastery of gravitational magic is such that he can cast gravitational sorceries as easily as breathing without even needing a staff to do so, can lift off into space and come crashing down like a meteor, and can even hold the ''stars themselves'' in place. All of this, mind you, with his mind degraded to that of a feral beast due to scarlet rot infection. Imagine what he was capable of when he was actually of sound mind. And what makes these feats even ''more'' impressive is that the only reason he even bothered to learn gravity magic in the first place was [[MundaneUtility so that he could keep riding his scrawny childhood horse without crushing it]]. |
| 245 | * ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce EXTRAPOWER Attack of Darkforce]]'': Dark Force himself is able to increase the gravity around him, making it impossible to fight until a way can be found to counteract the gravity effect. His all-black colour scheme is even [[GravityIsPurple punctuated with purple]]. |
| 246 | * ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'': |
| 247 | ** Several games have the spell Gravity/Gravira/Graviga (occasionally known as Demi), which [[PercentDamageAttack reduces the enemy to some fraction of their current HP]] ([[UselessUsefulSpell Except bosses,]] [[ContractualBossImmunity of course]]). It is usually depicted as a [[CastingAShadow big black ball]], possibly representing a black hole. |
| 248 | ** Layle, the lead character of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChroniclesTheCrystalBearers'', has Gravity as his magic, though the way he wields it you could be forgiven for thinking he was a [[MindOverMatter telekinetic]]. |
| 249 | ** Sometimes in the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series, when gravity is not its own element, it is lumped in with [[CastingAShadow shadow damage]], hence why in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' the Gravity [[SummonMagic Guardian Force]] is a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent giant, energy-draining demon]] and grav and drain spells tend to be cast by bats and the undead and the like. |
| 250 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' has [[SpaceWhale Sin]], whose primary 'hat' is gravity. It is able to levitate its massive body pretty much anywhere, and it is a frequent user of the aforementioned Graviga. Sin is so powerful it can tear apart whole cities just with the gravitational force it generates, sucking everything in like a black hole. It is also capable of projecting gravitational fields that can withstand insanely powerful energy blasts, and even projects those fields outwards to [[CurbStompBattle vaporize enemies]] and [[https://youtu.be/AsMm524wh9k?t=231 scar the entire planet]]. |
| 251 | * ''VideoGame/GachaWorld'': DJ Clover adjusts her own gravity parameter to float upwards before dropping trains that she summons onto all enemies when summoned. |
| 252 | * The newest character, Ley, in ''VideoGame/GrandChase'' mixes this trope up with SummonMagic. |
| 253 | * This is the heroine's (as well as one antagonist's) power in ''VideoGame/GravityRush''. Complete with a [[ShoutOut Gravity]] [[WebAnimation/TheGModIdiotBox Cat]]. Those with this power are referred to as "Shifters" by the city folk. Interestingly, their normal flying gravity power isn't merely levitating but actually reorienting what direction gravity pushes them, so their flying makes them spin in the air. |
| 254 | * The famous Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator (alias "Gravity Gun") from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2''. Slightly justified in its potential failing of physics in that the 'Gravity Gun' is just a nickname. Whatever mechanism it actually uses for throwing stuff around is not explained. |
| 255 | * ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'': The Brutes have Gravity Hammers, the more advanced versions of which can do things like suck in targets or shoot powerful shockwaves at enemies. |
| 256 | * In ''VideoGame/HeroesRise'' and its sequel, the [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual Powered]] individuals in the Infini-Power range are able to manipulate gravity on the atomic level, but the ability can be unstable. In the sequel, the corrupt Presidential candidate uses Infini-Powered individuals as an example of the necessity of the SuperRegistrationAct. |
| 257 | * Seymour the Turtle from ''VideoGame/{{Insaniquarium}}'' is a pet that can warp the gravity applying to the coins dropped by the guppies, slowing them down and making them easier to grab. |
| 258 | * ''VideoGame/JigglyZone'' has the Gravity Ribbon, which allows you to invert the pull of gravity. It's great for reaching areas that are beyond the [[DoubleJump Jump Flower]]'s range. |
| 259 | * Newcomer [[BattleButler Hein]] in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters XIV'' uses this ability in the form of reddish-black energy. Best seen during his Domination super. |
| 260 | * ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' has Gravity spells in the first game and ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories Chain of Memories]]'', and Zero Gravity spells in ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth by Sleep]]''. The arrowgun-wielding Braig / Xigbar has gravity powers in addition to his [[ThinkingUpPortals control over space]], though he mostly uses it to [[NotQuiteFlight suspend himself in the air]] instead of attacking Sora and co. with it. |
| 261 | * Wilhelm von Clausewitz Halcyon HISUIMARU, of ''[[VideoGame/LenEn Len'en Project]]''. Apparently, [[AmbiguousGender his/her]] abilities are powered by his/her own delusions. |
| 262 | * All biotic powers (with the exception of Dominate) in ''Franchise/MassEffect'' are achieved by mass manipulation, and thus could be called a form of gravity control. A low-mass field will lift an object or move it in any direction. A high-mass field will slam it into the ground or crush it. Biotic characters can even use the Singularity power to generate miniature black holes that will attract all loose objects and weakened enemies ([[SelectiveGravity though strangely not stronger enemies or fellow party members]]). Also, the [[CoolShip Normandy]] uses a similar effect to achieve thrust while still remaining [[StealthInSpace stealthy]]. The Tantalus Drive Core generates a high-gravity field in front of the ship that the Normandy "falls into", and momentum carries it from there. |
| 263 | ** In fact, mass manipulation (or "[[TitleDrop mass effect]]") is how ''everything'' in the series works, via a strange material called [[MinovskyPhysics "element zero" or "eezo"]]. How it works is simple: positive charges to it increase its mass, and negative charges decrease mass. The possibilities explode from there. For example, [=FTL=] travel is achieved by making the net mass of a ship ''negative'', thereby making relativity look the other way. [=BioWare=] really [[ShownTheirWork did their homework]]. |
| 264 | ** Some Asari, having had ''millennia'' to train their biotic abilities, demonstrate that it's possible to ''fly'' using this technique, though it appears to be very physically taxing and so is mostly used slow their descent when jumping from heights. Justicar Samara is the most frequent user, though the much younger Liara pulls it off while chasing Tela Vasir. |
| 265 | * Vampire programs in ''VideoGame/TheMatrixPathOfNeo'' have the ability to control gravity. Like, walking up columns, somersaulting and rolling for cover on the ceilings. |
| 266 | * [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Gravity Man]] from ''VideoGame/MegaMan5''. |
| 267 | ** Galaxy Man's Black Hole Bomb from ''VideoGame/MegaMan9'' works in this way, even though the robot master himself does not have a particular affinity for gravity. |
| 268 | * Gravity Beetle from ''VideoGame/MegaManX3'' and Gravity Antonion from ''VideoGame/MegaManX8'', the latter even [[InterfaceScrew turning the screen upside-down for some reason]]. |
| 269 | * ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'': The boss Nightmare, which relies on a gravity manipulating device to be this trope. |
| 270 | ** In ''Videogame/MetroidFusion'', it can control gravity, making it take longer for you to reach your full jumping height and making your Missiles fall to the ground. Only your PureEnergy beams can work in the high gravity. This only happens before the gravity manipulator is destroyed. |
| 271 | ** In ''[[VideoGame/MetroidOtherM Other M]]'', it uses a gravity field to weigh down Samus while peppering her with energy spheres and lasers until she can short out its generator with the Ice Beam during the first battle. The second battle? It uses its gravity powers more defensively, including shooting a black hole from that generator that causes ''all'' of Samus' projectiles to warp off their path and into it. Luckily, Samus herself is by this point using the Gravity Feature upgrade, [[note]]she already had it during the first fight, but didn't turn it on for some reason[[/note]] which renders her immune to the effects. |
| 272 | * The M-308 Gunner mecha from the UsefulNotes/{{NES}} game [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Storm_%28video_game%29 Metal Storm]] has the ability to flip gravity. |
| 273 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', Zarya's ultimate ability, Graviton Surge, does this. While it does little damage on its own, it pulls in and traps any hero unfortunate enough to be within its blast radius, leaving them sitting ducks for either Zarya's plasma grenades, or just another, stronger ultimate. Learning to coordinate this ultimate and use it well with the rest of the team is [[DifficultButAwesome half the challenge of learning Zarya, but when it's done well, it can wipe teams easily,]] and many a game's course has changed when a good Zarya used it. |
| 274 | ** Sigma, an astrophysicist who gained the ability to manipulate gravity after a FreakLabAccident. Throwing two gravitic pulses as a basic attack? Check. Absorbing enemy projectiles using a miniature black hole and crushing the black hole to gain shields? Check. Forming a boulder out of nothing and throwing it at enemies? Check. [[GravityScrew Becoming able lift enemies into the air before slamming them into the ground]]? Check. |
| 275 | -->'''Sigma:''' Gravity is a harness. [[BadassBoast I have harnessed the harness.]] |
| 276 | * The Dark element in ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarUniverse'' takes the form of damaging gravity fields. |
| 277 | ** Even before ''Universe'', the last three games in the original series had the Grafto line of techniques, localized as Gra, which damaged its targets with intense gravity. |
| 278 | * The ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' move Gravity allows several {{Mons}} to do this. Using it removed the immunity to Ground attacks Flying types and Pokemon with Levitate have, prevents use of attacks which involve jumping or flying, and reduces everyone's evasion by 2/5, all of which lasts for five turns. Gigantamax Orbeetle can do this as well after causing damage with its signature move, G-Max Gravitas. |
| 279 | * ''VideoGame/{{Strider}}'': |
| 280 | ** A recurring boss in the are the [[IHaveManyNames Anti-Gravity Devices/Gravity Cores/Gravitrons]], spherical machines designed to manipulate and control the gravity around them. Besides allowing the AirborneAircraftCarrier to float in the sky, halls next to these machines suffer a "reverse-gravity" effect, [[GravityScrew which forces the player to fight upside-down in the ceiling]]. |
| 281 | ** [[ScaryBlackMan Juroung]] from the [[VideoGame/Strider2014 remake]] uses gravity control (provided by a smaller version of the machine above, embedded in his body) to [[MakingASplash manipulate water into several shapes such as hands, insects or pillars.]] |
| 282 | * In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', Shu Shirakawa's [[HumongousMecha Granzon]] is able to manipulate gravity to a physics-breaking extent. In event scenes, it uses this ability to [[CutscenePowerToTheMax throw its enemies around like ragdolls]]. In actual combat, it gets more creative, using attacks that [[OurWormholesAreDifferent create wormholes]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-dSfEUBV-8 fire miniature black holes at the enemy.]] A few other mecha have lesser gravity-based powers, such as warp field barriers and weapons that [[ArtisticLicensePhysics fire beams of gravity at the enemy]]. |
| 283 | ** The latter could be justified if the beam's effect is to create a rapidly-shifting gravity field which causes objects inside to vibrate rapidly and hence disintegrate - sort of like a sonic weapon that works [[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE!]] - or, more mundanely, if it simply fires a beam of ''gravitons''. |
| 284 | * In ''VideoGame/TalesOfMajEyal'', the [[TimeMaster Paradox Mage]] class are spacetime mages rather than pure time manipulators. They have a family of gravity spells that manipulate enemies' positions. |
| 285 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'', gravitation potions allow you to reverse your gravity using the W key. |
| 286 | * Papyrus, from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', can subject your soul to gravity, turning the game's ShootEmUp style dodging into a platforming session. [[spoiler:His brother, Sans, can do the same, [[GravityScrew but in every direction.]]]] |
| 287 | * Evie in ''VideoGame/{{Vindictus}}'' can acquire the power "SP: Gravity Inversion", which does the same thing. |
| 288 | * In ''VideoGame/{{VVVVVV}}'', it's the only ability you have. You either flip up to the ceiling, or flip to the floor. |

| 291 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 292 | * Rin Tohsaka from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' can adjust gravity using her magic crest, which she uses in the prologue to lighten her body and [[SuperSpeed run more than 100 meters in less than seven seconds]]. |
| 293 | * In ''VisualNovel/{{Sunrider}}'', the Bianca has a built-in gravity gun that can move enemy [[AMechByAnyOtherName Ryders]] one space in any direction: perfect for giving your own Ryders free attacks against the target by moving it into an adjacent space. It can also be used to immobilize enemy Ryders or even tear out vital components like their reactors... [[CutscenePowerToTheMax in cutscenes, anyway]]. In ''Sunrider 4: The Captain's Return'', [[LevelUpAtIntimacyFive raising Claude's affection level]] will let the gravity gun move capital ships and torpedoes too. |
| 294 | * Lambdadelta from ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' is this. She can create black holes. |
| 295 | [[/folder]] |
| 296 | |
| 297 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 298 | * ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': Drake can flip isolated landforms upside-down with magic. |

| 302 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 303 | %%* One of the characters in the webcomic ''Knowledge Is Power'' has gravity manipulation as an ability. |
| 304 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'', [[ProperLady Muneca]] is the only [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/MangaPacisV01CH01P034.html Pacificator of Gravity in existence.]] However, she can't decrease or increase gravity - what she can do is [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/MangaPacisV01CH01P047.html "move" gravity around.]] For a more in-depth explanation, look [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/PacificatorsVol3Chapter02n059Coursepr.jpg here.]] |
| 305 | * ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'', gravitic technology is used for both protection and offense ("gravy-guns"), as well as sundry other uses such as ArtificialGravity and ship propulsion. |
| 306 | ** The UNS ''Tunguska'', like all [[TheBattlestar Battleplates]], has extremely precise control of its ability to sling around gravity, lifting the Toughs into the air as a show of force, transmitting a message by using gravity to rattle the ship's hull, and even gravitically controlling [[spoiler:Tagon to shoot Jak in the head]]. All of this is notable in that it probably is NOT Art Major Physics. |
| 307 | ** The Pa'anuri, being dark matter-based {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, have this as their ''only'' way of interacting with regular matter. Considering they're really pissed at organics for teraport usage, that interaction usually involves crushing. |
| 308 | %%* This is Lightning's hero cape superpower in ''Webcomic/{{Sidekicks}}''. |
| 309 | * The aptly-named supervillain Greta Gravity in ''Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}'' possesses gravity-altering powers. She has demonstrated her powers in the comic mostly by levitating objects, but has also used it to make the eponymous heroine heavy enough to crack the sidewalk just by standing on it. |
| 310 | * ''Webcomic/WaywardSons'': Hermaz can decrease gravity's effectiveness on himself and others, and somehow use it for midair propulsion. He once increased it instead, grounding and immobilizing a winged enemy. |
| 311 | %%* ''Webcomic/DenmaTheQuanx'': Jet |
| 312 | * In ''Webcomic/GravityBreakCataclysm'' all catgirls have some kind of gravity power due to the effect of the panyacea. |
| 313 | * ''Webcomic/SidekickGirl'': Illumina's insane brother, Declan, has gravity powers, which he used to wage war on the heroes and villans alike. In the final showdown with Declan, [[spoiler:Illumina finds out she has full-on gravity powers as well.]] |
| 314 | * ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': In [[https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-2-page-1 Chapter 2,]] Team Alchemical ([[AchillesInHisTent sans their leader Tessa]]) encounter an exceptionally strong monster with the ability to alter the force of gravity on its victims, lifting them high into the air before slamming them forcefully into the ground. Sylvia notes that even her own [[BlowYouAway control over air]] is of little use against it. |
| 315 | * ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'': Super Massive is a supervillain with an extremely precise control of gravity, to the point he can give trouble to Maxima, despite her {{Flight}}, SuperSpeed and SuperStrength powers, even diverting her HandBlast around himself. Stalwart, who can control his own mass and density, fares better against him, and Super Massive is finally taken out by teamwork. |
| 316 | [[/folder]] |
| 317 | |
| 318 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 319 | * Solar Max II from the ''Literature/AcademyOfSuperheroes ASH'' universe is an extremely powerful gravity-wielder, enough so that he can make black holes and bend space. Devastator, a supervillain, has power over multiple forces ''including'' gravity. |
| 320 | %%* Bass Drop from ''Literature/FightingMonsters.'' |
| 321 | * In ''TabletopGame/NewVindicators,'' one of the students from the European school, Kasimir Flaegler is a German boy whose powers manifested when he was blinded and nearly killed during a boating accident. He can alter local gravity enough to let others have a limited kind of flight, fly himself, raise or lower gravity, fire gravity blasts, and at one point helped keep the falling sky island of Laputa aloft. |
| 322 | * Fantasy artist Robin Wood's "Theory of Cat Gravity", which holds that cats lie in the sunshine to absorb some of the sun's considerable gravitational force. They release that gravity when they're sitting on their owners, which explains why it's so difficult to get up when your cat has you pinned. |
| 323 | * This is common enough in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' that there are standard 'moves' for gravity-wielders. |
| 324 | ** Jadis' new roommate Misty can lift several tons, or can slam someone to the ground with several tons of force. Misty has (unfortunately) named herself "Superchick" and adopted a trademark-violating costume she made herself. |
| 325 | ** Then there's G-Force, who is one of the Capes (the Future Superheroes of America club) on campus. When attacked by G-Force, Phase demonstrated that this power set has some distinct weaknesses. |
| 326 | [[/folder]] |
| 327 | |
| 328 | [[folder:Web Videos]] |
| 329 | * In ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', the second campaign introduced a new subset of magic to its setting. Called dunamancy, it is essentially [[QuantumMechanicsCanDoAnything theoretical physics in magic form]]. The two big elements of it involve manipulating space and time, and of course the former primarily manifests as gravity manipulation. As mentioned above in the tabletop games section, this was eventually canonised into official ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' content via the ''Explorer's Guide to Wildemount''. |
| 330 | * ''WebVideo/TheMercuryMen'': A supervillain known only as the Chief Designer, apparently a former head of the [[UsefulNotes/ColdWar Soviet]] space program, created a device called the Gravity Engine, strong enough to pull the Moon from its orbit, and gave it to the Mercury Men to do just that. |
| 331 | [[/folder]] |
| 332 | |
| 333 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 334 | * Graviton in ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes''. He gets really, [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity really]] [[AGodAmI caught up]] in how awesome this is. |
| 335 | -->'''Graviton:''' I control one of the [[LargeHam FOUR FUNDAMENTAL ASPECTS OF REALITY]]!" |
| 336 | * One of Ben's new aliens in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'' is Gravattack, a walking mini-planet that can manipulate gravity. |
| 337 | * Gravitina from ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'', the "Mistress of Mass and all its Attraction". Notably, her powers made her head roughly the size of a go-kart. There's an episode where she swells Buzz Lightyear's head up to match hers and this gives him the exact same powers. |
| 338 | * ''WesternAnimation/ExoSquad'' gives us the Grav Sheild, a weapons system which manipulates gravity to crush fleets of enemy ships like beer cans. Neo Sapien-occupied Earth is protected by one of these for a time,[[note]]before the [[LesCollaborateurs human scientist]] who happens to be the [[NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup only one to understand its function]] sabotages it and defects to the Exo Fleet,[[/note]] and later on the Exo Fleet base on Io is also protected by such a device[[note]]until it breaks, [[ParanoiaGambit although the Neo Sapeins don't know it's broken.]][[/note]]. For [[HandWave vaguely-explained reasons]], the Grav Sheild is entirely ineffective against cloaked ships, showing that the only way to fight phlebotinum is with phlebotinum. |
| 339 | * Peter Griffin in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. He is fat enough to have his own gravitational pull and, in a CutawayGag, he was able to defy gravity while on a fireman's pole. |
| 340 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheGalaxyTrio'': |
| 341 | ** Gravity Girl is from the planet Gravitas and has control over gravity as a racial superpower. |
| 342 | ** In "Gralik of Gravitas" the villain Gravitas develops a gravity ray that can tremendously increase gravitational force on an object or apply AntiGravity to it. |
| 343 | * Tso Lan the Moon Demon in ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures''. |
| 344 | -->'''Tso Lan:''' Behold, my mastery of gravity. |
| 345 | * The VillainOfTheWeek Massive from ''WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed''. |
| 346 | * In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E2TheCrystalEmpirePart2 "The Crystal Empire, Part 2"]], Twilight Sparkle demonstrates that her magic arsenal includes gravity spells. She uses one to [[DungeonBypass bypass an impossibly tall spiral staircase]]: rather than climbing the stairs, she reverses her own gravity and ''slides up'' the bottom of the staircase. |
| 347 | * The ''WesternAnimation/{{ThunderCats|1985}}'' villain Tug-Mug could increase people's weight to pin them to the ground or decrease it to leave them floating helplessly in the air. |
| 348 | * Superman's "death" in the ''Justice League'' episode [[Recap/JusticeLeagueS2E19And20Hereafter "Hereafter"]] leads to a BadFuture where the immortal villain Vandal Savage perfected a device with the power to control gravity, defeated the Justice League in a way largely left to the imagination, and more to the present point effectively destroyed Earth as we know it by stranding it in an orbit incompatible with non-immortal life, leaving him entirely alone. |
| 349 | * The Wizard, the leader of the Frightful Four in the ''[[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' animated series has this ability thanks to his tech, specifically his gravity discs. |
| 350 | * Atylon, the villain of the first arc for ''WesternAnimation/UltraForce'' had gravity as his special power, with which he used to steal a number of nuclear warheads he planned to use to attack the surface world. It should be noted that this wasn't a power shared by the rest of his people, making it a legitimate superpower. |
| 351 | -->'''Atylon:''' You do not grasp the gravity of your situation ::fists begin to glow along with various parts of the background:: And Gravity is my domain. |
