Line #16 PlayingWith/InASingleBound


1	'''Basic Trope''': The superpower to jump further and higher than usual, in lieu of normal flight.
2	* '''Straight''': Spring-Heeled Jack can leap over small buildings, on a good day.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Spring-Heeled Jack can jump from the [[WebComic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja earth to the moon]], and with [[JumpPhysics enough air control]] to make you question if he is [[NotQuiteFlight jumping or flying.]] The floor may even try to come along with him.
5	** Everyone can jump better than Mario, with no explanation given or [[RuleOfCool needed]].
6	* '''Downplayed''': Spring-Heeled Jack can jump a full 3 feet into the air.
7	* '''Justified''': Spring-Heeled Jack is actually a relatively normal flea, and it would be more alarming if he couldn’t jump.
8	* '''Inverted''': Iron-Elbowed Jill is so heavy that she can’t jump at all.
9	* '''Subverted''':
10	** Spring-Heeled Jack makes a run-up towards the building, and makes a daring leap… that get all of 2 feet up the wall, which he then climbs like a normal person.
11	** This conversation:
12	-->'''Jack:''' Alice, did you know I can jump higher than a house?
13	-->'''Alice:''' Wow, really?
14	-->'''Jack:''' Well, of course, houses can't jump!
15	-->''{{Beat}}''
16	---> '''Alice''': You gotta be fucking kidding me.
17
18	* '''Double Subverted''': He only needed to climb up in order to get to the proper position, after which he launches himself into an impressive sequence of {{Wall Jump}}ing up the side of 2 skyscrapers, ending in a flip that lasts a full 5 seconds.
19	* '''Parodied''': After being challenged, Spring-Heeled jack makes and epic jump, and doesn’t land until [[BrickJoke 3 hours later, at the end of the film.]]
20	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
21	* '''Averted''': Everyone uses other methods to travel, superhuman or otherwise. No-one jumps around.
22	* '''Enforced''': Spring-Heeled Jack is the protagonist in a platforming game: not jumping well would ruin the fun.
23	* '''Lampshaded''': “I just leapt over that building in a single bound. Huh.”
24	* '''Invoked''': PainPoweredLeap, or similar tropes.
25	* '''Exploited''': Spring-Heeled Jack jumps [[MundaneUtility instead of taking the morning commute.]]
26	* '''Defied''': “No one can jump that high without already being able to fly anyway.”
27	* '''Discussed''': “Old master Jack, how did you learn to [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack jump good?”]] “[[CharlesAtlasSuperpower Squats, Grasshopper. Hundreds and hundreds of squats.]]”
28	* '''Conversed''': “I bet he’s really good at hurdles.”
29	* '''Deconstructed''':
30	** Spring-Heeled Jack [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings jumps too greedly, too high]]: He ends up reaching escape velocity and jumps to his death in the hateful airless void.
31	** Spring-Heeled Jack landed poorly after his last impressive jump, and breaks both his ankles for the trouble.
32	* '''Reconstructed''':
33	** Before the final fatal instant, [[ArtisticLicensePhysics Jack flips around and uses the surface tension of the earth’s atmosphere in order to jump off THAT]], and return to ground level.
34	** After taking the time for recovery and proper training, Spring-Heeled Jack has mastered LeParkour and the proper method for landing afterward.
