10
11A character who has power over all things igneous: magma, lava, and hot rocks. They can either liquefy ordinary rocks, control the flows of a [[LethalLavaLand perpetually active volcano]], or simply manifest the hot heavy stuff ''ex nihilo''. This can be considered a combination of DishingOutDirt and PlayingWithFire, and is often an ElementalFusion of these two in-universe; a character with power over lava might possess these powers separately as well, or two separate characters with these abilities might use a lava-based CombinationAttack.
12
13A SubTrope of LavaAddsAwesome. Compare LivingLava, and ElementalEmbodiment of lava that may or may not be able to control lava separate from their own body.

18
19[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
20* In episode 23 of ''Anime/Daitarn3'', VillainOfTheWeek Jenoba uses rituals to control volcanic eruptions to cause destruction in populated areas. Her battleships can pierce the ground to reach magma chambers and spew the stuff out without relying on the location of volcanoes. Jenoba's [[MonsterOfTheWeek Megaborg]] form can shoot scorching rocks from her fingers that function as heat-seeking missiles.
21* Marco Maldini from ''Manga/TheLawOfUeki'' has the power to convert ''tomatoes'' that he throws into magma.
22* ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'' has Volcanic Blaze, a powerful, ranged, eruption spell that comes out from the ground that the target is standing on. [[spoiler:[[InconsistentSpelling Harry/Halley]] [[PlayingWithFire Tribeca]] developed it as a secret trump card to use against [[TheOjou Victoria]] or [[DefeatingTheUndefeatable Sieglinde]], but she was forced to use it against [[SuperStrongChild Rio]] when Rio managed to back her into a corner]].
23* The Lava Release in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' is a [[SuperpowerfulGenetics Kekkei Genkai]] created by combining Fire and Earth chakra. Mei Terumi (the fifth Mizukage), Kurotsuchi (the granddaughter of the Third Tsuchikage), and Dodai (an elder shinobi from the Cloud Village) were all born with it, and Roshi has it by virtue of Son Goku (the Four-Tailed Monkey) sealed inside of him. [[spoiler:Naruto later gains it himself after absorbing Son Goku's chakra along with those of the other Tailed Beasts.]] Besides magma, it's also shown to include control of quicklime and, in Dodai's case, ''rubber'' (or at least lava that he can make very rubber-like).
24* In ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', Fate Averruncus' strongest spell, ''Terra Findens'', causes a huge explosion of lava. It's powerful enough to match Negi's ''[[ShockAndAwe Khilipl]] [[FantasticNuke Astrape]]''.
25* Admiral Akainu from ''Manga/OnePiece'' possesses a Devil Fruit called the Mag Mag Fruit. It grants him the ability to control, generate, and become magma. By becoming magma, as with all Logias, he achieves BlobMonster-style NighInvulnerability, as conventional attacks will simply be absorbed into or pass through his magma-fied body doing nothing to him at best, or severely wounding/crippling the attacker at worst. It goes without saying that Akainu is extremely powerful, being one of ''very'' few character present at [[WarArc Marineford]] who was capable of killing [[WorldsStrongestMan Whitebeard]] in a one on one fight. He's also a KnightTemplar [[PersonalityPowers extraordinaire.]]
26* ''Anime/SaintSeiya'' the Asgard Arc has Hagen, a God Warrior with both magma powers.
27* ''Manga/SazanEyes'' has Chi Luo (Red Net), the guardian of the inter-dimensional passage known as Kunlun/Kong Rong situated in the Himalaya. He's essentially a giant BlobMonster made of searing magma that rises up to burn to death all those who try to reach the inner sanctum without the required Key.
28* Takeru from ''Manga/SnowWhiteAndSevenDwarfs'' is capable of generating heat and magma with his right arm, typically resulting in StuffBlowingUp.
29* ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'': The Triple Contact Fusion of Elemental HERO Neos, Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab and Neo-Spacian Grand Mole is Elemental HERO Magma Neos. He can charge a meteor-like magma ball with his left hand and throw it.

31
32[[folder:Card Games]]
33* ''TabletopGame/{{Chaotic}}'':
34** Magmon's home is a lake sized LavaPit.
35** This is made more apparent and cooler looking in the [[WesternAnimation/{{Chaotic}} animated series]] that focuses around the card game.
36* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'':
37** The color Red is strongly associated with earth and especially with fire; when its take on wizardry isn't being represented with pyromancers, lavamancers such as [[https://scryfall.com/card/dom/127/ghitu-lavarunner Ghitu Lavarunner]], [[https://scryfall.com/card/2xm/129/grim-lavamancer Grim Lavamancer]] or [[https://scryfall.com/card/znr/148/magmatic-channeler Magmatic Channeler]] are used instead.
38--->"Fools dig for water, corpses, or gold. The earth's real treasure is far deeper." -- Grim Lavamancer
39** The Vulshok of Mirrodin can range from simple VolcanicVeins up to this.
40** The Planeswalker Nahiri, aka the Lithomancer, is a rare White aligned example (lava is usually Red's domain), melting rocks to forge weapons from the metal within.
41[[/folder]]
42
43[[folder:Comic Books]]
44* Minor villain Magmaniac from ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}''. He's one half of a villainous duo alongside Tether Tyrant.
45* [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Magma]] from ''ComicBook/NewMutants'', who also has the full range of fire powers at her disposal. She can create earthquakes too, but this is simply the logical side effect of bringing magma to the surface. Professor X once noted that training her is difficult due to the inevitable property damage her powers cause.
46* Volcana from the Franchise/MarvelUniverse. Also in her name.
47* Long before any of the above appeared, the subterranean Lava Men attacked ComicBook/TheMightyThor.
48* ComicBook/SpiderMan has a villain called the Molten Man. He is mostly-reformed these days and has helped Spidey out a few times.
49* The Red Volcano ("brother" of the ComicBook/RedTornado) from Franchise/TheDCU controls both [[DishingOutDirt unheated earth and rock]] and molten magma.
50* ''ComicBook/Robin1993'': Krakatoa is a villain with a body made out of magma with a crumbling hard outer shell. His heat makes him a liability for those he's trying to team up with when he tries to fight Robin, ComicBook/{{Ragman}} and ComicBook/BlueDevil alongside some other villains.
51* ''ComicBook/TheSagaOfCrystarCrystalWarrior'' has Moltar and his Magma Men minions, who are evil beings of magma unlike Moltar's brother Crystar and other heroes, who are all {{Crystalline Creature}}s.
52* A race of lava creatures lives deep under the Earth's surface in ''ComicBook/SavageDragon''. One is even a member of the supervillain army Vicious Circle.
53* ''ComicBook/WildCATsWildStorm'' antagonist Slag, a member of the Troika.
54* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2006'': Pele, as the goddess of among other things volcanoes, uses lava in her somewhat misguided attack on Diana.
55[[/folder]]
56
57[[folder:Comic Strips]]
58* ''ComicStrip/TheWackyAdventuresOfPedro'': Pedro has a run-in with some Lava Lizards while on IO.
59[[/folder]]
60
61[[folder:Fan Works]]
62* ''Fanfic/DaylightBurning'': Nightmare Sun can spontaneously create and control molten rock, such as by making balls of lava to throw at her foes or fighting with whips of molten rock.
63* ''Fanfic/DanceWithTheDemons'': Geo-Force can control all kind of rocks, including molten magma.
64-->The floor beneath them continued to crack, and the crack reached deep into the Earth itself. From it, Brion Markov summoned the molten rock that undergirds its cooled and hardened crust.
65* ''Fanfic/JourneyToRaftel'' has, of all people, Nami, who ate a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit heavily implied to be the Hito Hito no Mi: Model: Pele. [[AdaptationalBadass She's fairly stronger than in canon.]]
66* In [=ManhattanTheory=]'s ''Manga/FairyTail'' [[{{Fanfic}} fic]] ''Fanfic/{{Necrophobia}}'', [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11425806/1/Necrophobia which you can find through here,]] [[EvilIsBurningHot Samerina Volcuzas]] is one, being a Magma God Slayer.
67* ''VideoGame/PokemonWack'': The Magma type is introduced. Unsurprisingly, the primary type of Heatran (a Legendary Pokémon made up of magma and lives in volcanos) has been changed from Fire to Magma, and its SecretArt Magma Storm (as well as Lava Plume, another move it often uses) are now Magma type.
68* In ''Fanfic/WarOfTheBiju'', besides canon examples like Mei and Kurostuchi, the Second Raikage is known for his use of Lava Release.
69[[/folder]]
70
71[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
72* The Firebird in ''WesternAnimation/Fantasia2000'', a [[GiantFlyer giant bird]] made of lava.
73* The Lava Titan, Pyros, from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}''.
74* In the ''Franchise/HowToTrainYourDragon'' film series, the Gronckles and some other Boulder Class dragons don't have an actual fire breath. Instead, they eat rocks and metal, heat them to melting point in their stomachs, and vomit them up as lava.
75* Te Kā in ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'' appears as an AnthropomorphicPersonification of all things volcanic, [[spoiler:at least until the Heart of Te Fiti is restored to her, and she changes back to her former self.]]
76* In ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'', one new super that appears is Reflux, an OldSuperhero that spews molten lava from his mouth.
77[[/folder]]
78
79[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
80* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfSharkboyAndLavagirl'': Lavagirl, obviously.
81* ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' depicts Film/{{Rodan}} as a pterosaur-like beast whose skin is augmented by an outer layer of volcanic sediment, and whose insides appear like molten lava, while ash and cinder trail from his wings. Appropriately enough, he's initially found sleeping in an active volcano, submerged in the magma.
82* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' depicts the Balrog as a giant creature made of magma and lava. The [[WesternAnimation/TheLordOfTheRings animated version]] portrayed it as more of a minotaur with wings.
83* ''Film/WrathOfTheTitans'' features Kronos, who takes the form of a walking volcano monster.
84[[/folder]]
85
86[[folder:Literature]]
87* Karon of ''Literature/TheSpiritThief'' is a lava spirit who, when let out, takes a form of a giant human made of magma.
88[[/folder]]
89
90[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
91* The Pyroviles from the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E2TheFiresOfPompeii The Fires of Pompeii]]".
92* A recurring character on ''Series/TheGoodPlace'' is Todd, a lava monster who works at the Bad Place.
93* In an episode of ''Series/{{Grimm}}'' Nick and company battle a Volcanalis, a magma monster who kills people who take stones from the rims of dormant volcanoes without showing proper respect.
94* The very first MonsterOfTheWeek from ''Series/KamenRiderDouble'' was the Magma Dopant.
95** In ''Series/KamenRiderBuild'', Kamen Rider Cross-Z's final form had magma-based powers.
96* The Excalbians from ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' live on a LethalLavaLand planet.
97* Several ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' {{kaiju}} possess lava/magma-based powers
98** Golza from ''Series/UltramanTiga'' is able to absorb lava in order to become the even more powerful Fire Golza, who has VolcanicVeins and the ability to shoot fire from his forehead.
99** Giralen from ''Series/UltramanDyna'' is ''made of lava'' and possesses a fiery BreathWeapon. However, he's also very slow, so all Dyna had to do to defeat him was [[MultiformBalance simply change to his]] [[FragileSpeedster Miracle Type]].
100** Sodom from the same series lives in the veins of active volcanoes and controls eruptions by creating tunnels to divert magma, making him a less destructive example than most.
101** Grangon from ''Series/UltramanMax'' lived inside a volcano for centuries and is able to breath fire. But more potently, being immersed in lava heals any of his wounds and can even ''revive him from the dead''!
102[[/folder]]
103
104[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
105* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': The Para-elemental Plane of Magma in 1st and 2nd Edition [[ElementalFusion is at the intersection of the planes of Earth and Fire]], and is home to magma paraelementals and the small and imp-like magma mephits. 3.5 has magmins, a type of humanoid elemental made out of magma. The 4th Edition ''Monster Manual'' has an entire section devoted to lava monsters, including a [[RuleOfCool fifteen-foot-high lava strider/spider]]. 4th edition also has the Stonefire Rager Paragon Path for barbarians. As of 5th Edition, although there is no dedicated Plane of Magma, this kind of elemental creatures still originate where the planes of Fire and Earth come in contact and their respective elements collide and fuse.
106* ''TabletopGame/FabulaUltima'': The Volcano spell, which can only be obtained by mastering the [[BlackMage Elementalist]] class, summons a wave of magma to crash over your enemies for heavy, resistance- and immunity-ignoring fire damage.
107[[/folder]]
108
109[[folder:Toys]]
110* ''Toys/{{Gormiti}}'' has an entire faction dedicated to this, with more figures than any single other faction.
111[[/folder]]
112
113[[folder:Video Games]]
114* The Volcania boss in ''VideoGame/TheAdventuresOfRadGravity''.
115* Kronos from ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology'', ten years before ''Film/WrathOfTheTitans'' did the same.
116* The Gohma from ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' are monsters made out of magma and rock. [[spoiler: It's because they are the antibodies of the world and are lead by the will of the planet, Gohma Vlitra.]]
117* The Stage 5 boss in ''VideoGame/{{Axelay}}''.
118* ''Music/OzzyOsbourne'' as The Guardian Of Metal in ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'' can transform into and from lava. Although he is never seen doing much else.
119* One team attack in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin'' summons a volcano that shoots lava at the enemies.
120* ''VideoGame/ChildOfLight'' has the [[GeniusLoci living]] [[MonsterShapedMountain humanoid mountain]] [[MeaningfulName Magna]], whose insides are made up of [[LethalLavaLand volcanic caverns]].
121* Magmites from ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes''.
122* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' has a few powerful fire based abilities, aptly named pyromancy, and chaos pyromancy in particular causes pools of lava should they impact solid ground. Played straight, however, with the magma giant [[UnfortunateNames Ceaseless Discharge]], who [[AndIMustScream constantly oozes lava from his open wounds]].
123* ''VideoGame/DiabloII'' has the Druid with attacks such as Volcano, Fissure and Molten Boulder.
124* In ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' and its prequel ''Dissidia 012'', Chaos and his OneWingedAngel form Feral Chaos use a lot of fire attacks with a visual theme closer to lava and magma than the fire attacks of other characters, such as fireballs that appear to be meteors wreathed in flame, and summoning plumes of fire from the ground.
125* In one section of ''VideoGame/DragonsLair'', these appear as enemies. They will turn you into one of them by tackling you.
126* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIX'' has various magma enemies, amorphous blobs of the stuff with a single arm and a face.
127* ''VideoGame/{{Drakan}}'' has the dragon Arokh's final power being a Magma BreathWeapon. It's AwesomeButImpractical in that while it's Arokh's most damaging attack, it's also slow-moving and uses the most energy.
128* ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' has Magma Men. And Fire Men. And Fire Imps. And dwarfs themselves are very capable of building a giant cannon that ''shoots'' a spray of magma. Or simply flood the outside world ([[HilarityEnsues or their own fortress]]) with the stuff. Notably, the RequiredSecondaryPowers to let such creatures live in magma but also survive coming out of it [[EverythingTryingToKillYou to menace your dwarves]] means they don't need to breathe and (for Fire Men and Magma Men) [[NoConservationOfEnergy can emit heat without changing their own temperature]], meaning putting them in water will do nothing but boil it... unless you pour magma into the water and make obsidian. All three are naturally occurring golems and therefore feel no pain, emotions, or exertion but can be beaten to "death". A fire man or imps is a GlassCannon, dishing out a world of "Fun" while being so weak that a dwarf baby could beat them to death... and then die from the explosion.
129* Obsidius, a monster created for ''Videogame/GodzillaUnleashed'', is a creature born of rock and magma given life by space crystals. His breath weapon is a stream of lava fired from his mouth, and he is immune to the lava in Seattle and resistant to fire-based weapons.
130* ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'':
131** [[PlayingWithFire Mars Adepts]] and [[DishingOutDirt Venus Adepts]] have access to the Volcano and Gaia Psynergy series respectively, the former causing pillars o fmagma to erupt from the ground and the latter the ground to break and some kind of energy attack the enemy from below.
132** The Samurai class family, which has aspects of multiple elements but [[GuideDangIt takes some micromanaging to get into]], gets the Lava Shower series.
133** However, you're most likely to see Volcano-series Psynergy in action in the first two games, because the main antagonists are from the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin aptly-named Mars Clan]].
134* ''Franchise/MegaMan'':
135** ''VideoGame/MegaMan9'' features a boss with this exact name. His weapon is the Magma Bazooka. Despite the name, he's more of a standard fire-based villain than a fire/earth combo, and his Bazooka shoots run-of-the-mill fireballs (though quite powerful fireballs at that).
136** ''VideoGame/MegaManX 4'' has Magma Dragoon, who also used fire.
137* The denizens of the planet [[LethalLavaLand Firim]] from ''VideoGame/{{Meteos}}'' can control the fiery planet's deep lava flows at will.
138* Spire from ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeHunters''. His body is made of stone, and his signature weapon is the Magmaul, a gun which fires blasts of magma.
139* The elder dragon Zorah Magdaros from ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterWorld'' can be succinctly described as a walking volcano.
140* ''Franchise/MortalKombat''
141** [[OrderIsNotGood Hotaru]], the ''Mortal Kombat'' universe's resident LawfulStupid, has this power.
142** Upon his return in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', Tremor is able to shoot molten rock in his Metallic variation.
143* A few such enemies can be encountered in [[LethalLavaLand Fire Mountain]] in ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'', such as [[http://walkthrough.starmen.net/mother3/image/enemies/magman.png Magman]] (a sentient mini-volcano that [[MookMaker can generate Pyreflies]]), and [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091018222154/earthbound/images/e/e6/Mrs._Lava.png Mrs. Lava]] (a blob of lava that looks like an old woman, and has high-level fire attacks).
144* ''VideoGame/NoStraightRoads'': The FinalBoss Tatiana is one of these, as she demonstrates in her final phase. Her cracked white skin is actually a layer of igneous rock. [[spoiler:This is also a clue as to her [[FallenHero true identity]]]].
145* King Onyx from ''VideoGame/OdinSphere'' normally appears as a red-skinned, white haired humanoid, but his true form is a massive minotaur made of lava.
146* ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies2ItsAboutTime'' has the Lava Guava, which erupts in an area then leaves a patch of lava that deals heavy DamageOverTime on the spot it was planted in.
147* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
148** The attacks Eruption, Lava Plume, Magma Storm and Earth Power: the first three are Fire-type attacks, and the last one is Ground-type.
149** The Pokémon Magmar is vaguely man-shaped, and is made of fire and magma.
150** The Pokémon Camerupt is a camel with two volcanoes as its humps. Needless to say, it can learn all three mentioned attacks.
151** Heatran, a salamander-like being made of steel and lava. It, too, can use all three moves (albeit unlike with Camerupt, Eruption is a special event move only for this Pokémon), and has the signature move "Magma Storm".
152** Groudon has this theme going on as well, even though it's normally a pure Ground-type (It gains a fire typing when it undergoes [[SuperMode primal reversion]]). It's associated with land and the expansion of continents, thus, volcanic eruptions (its starting moveset when you capture it includes Eruption).
153** Slugma and Magcargo might be the best examples -- being of the Fire/Rock typing, they're a slug and a snail made of magma.
154* In ''[[VideoGame/RocketKnightAdventures Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2]]'', in [[ShiftingSandLand the pyramid stage]], when Sparkster enters the pyramid, there are pits of lava. From one of them, a fire elemental emerges, and Sparkster must therefore defeat it before proceeding any further.
155* ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' has [[MoleMiner Mole Knight]] who emphasizes on the "fired up [[DishingOutDirt dirt-disher]]" variety: while he has a red armor with a little flame on the top of his helmet, and while his area is a LethalLavaLand with fire enemies, it's also an underground level where you have to dig deeper, and as a boss, his attacks consist of FastTunnelling, square rocks and lava projectiles.
156* ''VideoGame/SingularStone'' has Magma Miku, an [[LiteralSplitPersonality insane half]] of Miku when her [[BodytoJewel dormant crystal body]] was accidentally split in half. Her twintails is crimson red and has VolcanicVeins below her eyes. She tries to cause mass volcanic eruption across the entire planet, potentially [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destroying the world.]]
157* ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'': One of the core [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] Skylanders is a lava monster named Eruptor, who can launch lava blobs, spread his body like an erupting volcano, and spit out massive magma balls. Later versions also have him combine this with VomitIndiscretionShot to either vomit massive streams of lava or barf up a large number of magma balls that turn into pools of magma once they hit the ground. However, he has no earth associations due to that being a separate element.
158* In ''VideoGame/{{Vectorman}} 2'', the boss of Stage 7: "Turn Up the Heat" is an anthropomorphic lava monster.
159* One monster in ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', Vulkin, is a miniature volcano with legs. It ''wants'' to be a HelpfulMook, but sadly its belief that its magma has healing properties is entirely unfounded.
160* ''VideoGame/WarOfTheMonsters'' has Magmo, a four-armed being created out of magma and rock and utilizes both in its attacks.
161* Firelords, DownloadableContent Neutral Heroes from ''[[VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne]]'', spawn lava monsters and have Volcano as an ultimate spell.
162** ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' has Ragnaros - a giant elemental Firelord made of fire, being summoned into Azeroth through a pool of magma and having some appropriate attacks. He is the FinalBoss of the Molten Core raid.
163** Neltharion, aka Deathwing, was changed into a Magma Dragon due to the powers of the Demon Soul. His interior is white-hot magma which threatens to blow him apart, causing him to cover himself with special armor that helps contain his incalculable power. As shown in the ''Cataclysm'' cinematic, he constantly oozes lava from the cracks in his skin and seams of his armor.
164** A rare-spawn beast that came with ''Cataclysm'' is [[http://www.wow-petopia.com/images/skin_pix/ancientseaturtlefire_v2.jpg Terrorpene, a turtle that lives in lava and looks like a living volcano.]] As a mob he has a powerful Fire Beam that does a ''lot'' of damage. He can also be tamed by Hunters.
165** Also from ''Cataclysm'', Firelands bosses Lord Rhyolith and Baleroc also qualify, along with the return of Ragnaros as FinalBoss (and this time he has legs and gets up on them in the second part of his BossBattle).
166* ''VideoGame/WrathUnleashed'' has Fire Giant units in the Light Chaos army. Epothos, the HeroUnit of that army, also has magma powers in his arsenal.
167* The Gularth in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'' are walking titans made of lava and rock that use powerful fire-based attacks and are exclusive to [[LethalLavaLand Cauldros]]. To a lesser extent, the Millesaurs can be seen as walking volcanoes due to the large volcano-shaped port on their back, the obsidian-based materials they drop, and because some of their attacks launch blobs of fiery material.
168%%* Allison "Magma" in ''VideoGame/XMenLegends''.
169[[/folder]]
170
171[[folder:Web Comics]]
172* ''Webcomic/CaptusCinematicUniverse'': The leader of the Planetary Protectors, Rockie, is able to create lava both willingly and unwillingly depending on the situation.
173%%* A very minor villain in ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'': [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/04/04/a-broken-pumice/ "So I kinda thought Magman meant like... like a dude made of magnets. I mostly just punch things, so you can see the position this puts me in."]]
174%%* In ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'' Richard briefly meets Ajellah, The Mistress of Magma. [[CurbStompBattle A little while later]], [[EarnYourTitle Richard claims the title of Mistress of Magma]].
175* ''WebComic/GrrlPower'': Part of the funding for ARCHON come from an anonymous donor who, by his own admission, used his geokinesis to draw out several tons of pure gold from the Earth's core, which he then stashed in a vast cavern he created (and lives in part of the time) several miles below the crust. He is careful to never use very much of the gold, lest it draw too much attention or destabilize the economy, but he gave the agency a significant sum to show that he wasn't intending to give them any trouble.
176* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': Gwen and Sally, two of the {{magical girl}}s of Team Alchemical, have powers over [[DishingOutDirt earth]] and [[PlayingWithFire fire]], respectively. They can combine their powers to generate and control molten rock, in a CombinationAttack they've named [[https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-2-page-22 "Lava Whatever"]][[note]]Sally [[GiverOfLameNames isn't very creative]] when it comes to naming things, and Gwen just doesn't care[[/note]].
177[[/folder]]
178
179[[folder:Web Original]]
180* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': Jenna can shoot balls of lava.
181* ''Blog/HowToHero'' makes mention of robot lava monsters.
182* In ''TabletopGame/NewVindicators'', misguided teen villain turned hero Felsic has the power to turn into a magma form.
183* While LetsPlay-ing ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'', the [=LPers=] jokingly reason that:
184## Sonic's werehog form and stretchy arms are a result of him absorbing some of Dark Gaia's power.
185## Dark Gaia lives under the Earth, where there is magma.
186## Magma, a viscous fluid, is stretchy.
187## [[InsaneTrollLogic Therefore, Sonic the Werehog is made of magma]].
188* Phoenixfire of the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse''. And her mom. And they can both form a huge sword of the stuff.
189** UnreliableNarrator Mephisto the Mentalist claimed that the reason so many [[EspionageTropes super-spy organizations]] in the 1960s and 1970s had a VolcanoLair was because they could contract it out to a super-villain called Volcanax, who was a [[MadScientist Devisor]] as well as having lava-control powers. He would just go to some distant point in the ocean, draw up a large amount of magma, and then once it was cooled enough he would install equipment to keep it from collapsing back down without him constantly maintaining it personally. Of course, being the product of MadScience, the equipment itself was unstable and pretty easy for any intruder to wreck, which is why the islands would always explode just as the hero is getting away...
190* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': Killer Monster can create [[LavaPit Lava Pits]] to either attack or defend, and can make them burst in a pillar of lava. [[PlayingWithFire He also has powers over fire.]]
191[[/folder]]
192
193[[folder:Western Animation]]
194* ''Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
195** In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', three past Avatars (including Kyoshi) have been seen bending magma or lava. [[WordOfGod Episode commentary revealed that this is]] a combination of Firebending and Earthbending.
196** Ghazan from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' is only an earthbender, but manages to superheat rock regardless, apparently substituting [[FrictionBurn friction]] for firebending, then bend the resulting lava. This makes him the first character shown to bend lava who is not an Avatar. [[spoiler:Bolin manages to bend existing lava in the season finale, and is shown in the following season to be able to make his own.]] A comment made by Toph suggests there are more who can do the same (whether or not she can do it is unknown), but it's still an incredibly rare talent.
197*** The one-shot graphic novel ''Toph Beifong's Metalbending Academy'' reveals Toph encountered a young lavabender named Sun a couple of years after the original series. Sun's lavabending is powerful, but he [[PowerIncontinence can't fully control it]], so Toph offers him a place in her academy so he can improve his earthbending.
198* Heatblast, one of Ben's original alien forms in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''.
199* Volcana from the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse. Debuted in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'', returned in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''.
200* From ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', the first installment of "Dial M For Monkey" has Monkey fight Magmanamous, a lava giant who just wants to go to sleep.
201* The Lava Demons from the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'' serial "Quest of the Princess Ponies".
202* Moltar, originally one of ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhost'''s rogues gallery, rehired to direct ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'' and later ''Creator/{{Toonami}}'', although he doesn't use his powers in the latter two.
203* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V", the major characters get superpowers by [[ClothesMaketheSuperman dressing up in the attires]] of previous allies of Mermaid Man. Squidward becomes Captain Magma, a superhero with a volcano on his head from which he can shoot fire and lava. Of course, considering the nature of the show, the lava ends up on [=SpongeBob=] and sets him on fire. [[WaterIsAir Under]][[RuleOfFunny water]].
204-->"Krakatoa!"
205* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'''s Obsidian, [[spoiler:the fusion of Steven ([[LegacyCharacter and previously]] Rose), Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl]], is a towering eight-armed giant of a fusion who is, at the very least, about a dozen stories tall. They're also made of lava, with a cool black shell for skin and fiery fissure lines running along their body. They have giant fiery holes for eyes and two mouths, at least one of which opens to a magma chamber. When they summon their weapon, it's a hilt--and by sticking the hilt into the magma-filled mouth and withdrawing it, it becomes a blade of red-hot obsidian.
206* In ''WesternAnimation/TheTick'', Magmamen are the dreaded enemy of the Molemen.
207* Lord Dominator from ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' can shoot blasts of an elemental called "Volcanium X" from the arms of her armor. It has the consistency of lava, which bends to her will, but doesn't seem to actually be hot unless she wants it to be. She powers all her technology with it, and drains it from planet cores.
