1 | '''Basic Trope''': A character has ice- and/or snow-based powers. |
2 | * '''Straight''': MagicalGirlWarrior [[MeaningfulName Yuki]] has the innate ability to freeze objects, whether through touch, frost breath, or a freeze beam. However, [[ElementalRockPaperScissors she is susceptible to fire-based attacks]]. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Yuki can freeze over ''a whole star'' without even breaking a sweat. |
5 | ** She's literally made of ice, and can freeze anything just by touching it. |
6 | ** Yuki can conjure millions of giant icebergs to rain death upon all. |
7 | * '''Downplayed''': |
8 | ** Yuki can cool down hot matter to about room temperature. |
9 | ** Yuki leaves a small amount of frost when she touches a certain thing. |
10 | * '''Justified''': Yuki was granted magical powers, or she is of a particular species (e.g. [[HumanoidAlien alien]], mutant, ice dragon, [[{{Youkai}} yuki-onna]]) for whom such abilities are natural. |
11 | * '''Inverted''': [[MeaningfulName Kaji]] can [[PlayingWithFire set objects on fire]] at will. |
12 | * '''Subverted''': |
13 | ** Yuki says she's going to freeze the food, but places it in the freezer. |
14 | ** Alternatively, Yuki wears blue, lives in an IcePalace in the GrimUpNorth... and her power is [[PlayingWithFire burning things.]] |
15 | * '''Double Subverted''': |
16 | ** Which is powered by her own ice powers. |
17 | ** But she also has ice powers in addition to fire. |
18 | * '''Parodied''': Yuki and her LoveInterest are making out, and [[TongueOnTheFlagpole his tongue gets stuck to her.]] |
19 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Yuki freezes matter by absorbing heat - [[PlayingWithFire which she can then project]] |
20 | * '''Averted''': Nobody has snow or ice powers whatsoever. |
21 | * '''Enforced''': "We've got someone with [[PlayingWithFire fire]] and someone with [[ShockAndAwe lightning]], so [[FireIceLightning lets give Yuki ice]]." |
22 | * '''Lampshaded''': "That's pretty [[{{Pun}} cool]], but can you [[HypocriticalHumor chill out]] on all the puns?" |
23 | * '''Invoked''': Yuki injects herself with a SuperSerum that gives her the ability to manipulate ice. |
24 | * '''Exploited''': |
25 | ** The bad guys arm themselves with flamethrowers and Molotov cocktails because they know about Yuki. |
26 | ** A bad guy makes a big show of living in a snowy palace surrounded by ice and polar bears, and then breaks out the water powers when the fire-based heroes show up. |
27 | * '''Defied''': [[PlayingWithFire Fire mage]] Kaji goes around hunting and killing anyone with ice abilities. |
28 | * '''Discussed''': "I think the coolest power to have would be ice, especially since we've moved to Florida." |
29 | * '''Conversed''': "How is it that whenever Yuki freezes someone, [[HarmlessFreezing they don't suffer from frostbite or any other adverse effects]]? [[FridgeLogic This show makes no sense if you think hard enough]]." |
30 | * '''Implied''': Everywhere Yuki goes, things start freezing over. She's never seen consciously using that gift, though. |
31 | * '''Deconstructed''': Anything that Yuki touches freezes, and that includes ''people''. She isolates herself from her loved ones out of fear that she'll hurt them. |
32 | * '''Reconstructed''': She finds a way to control her powers, such as wearing [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 specialized gloves]] to counteract the freezing touch. |
33 | * '''Played For Laughs''': Yuki becomes a face for a company producing freezers. |
34 | * '''Played For Drama''': People assume that PersonalityPowers is in effect and think Yuki is an IceQueen, so she has a hard time making friends. |
