* ''Fanfic/SpiderManFindingHome'' has Peter, Kate and Yelena each being particularly turned on by witnessing a display of power from Peter and Yelena in particular;
** Alexei challenges Peter to arm-wrestling, bragging about being Russia's first and only super-soldier and warning Peter not to forfeit. Peter, fed up with a lot of things at this point, gives it his all. Alexei is thrown to the floor, Yelena's table is smashed, and Yelena responds by grabbing Peter and passionately making out with him.
** After Yelena [[spoiler:gets the White Tiger amulet]], Peter notes the she didn't need to get more scary, "but it's kinda hot."
** Yelena takes down and pins Jessica Jones (without the White Tiger amulet) and forces her to apologize for being mean to Kate and Peter. Once Yelena lets Jessica up, Kate is all over her. Their makeout session is so intense Peter and Jessica have to break it up so they can get on with their mission.
** TheirFirstTime, Kate asks Peter to use his super-strength to rip her clothes off. When he effortlessly does do with her jeans, she muses "this is a thing for me now." Peter advises they get cheaper, more disposable clothing for future instances.

Naturally, the SuperTrope of many dominant/subordinate relationship-based tropes. Also related is EvilIsSexy, seeing as how evil is often simply a means of attaining power. This trope is often used to explain the KavorkaMan and AllGirlsWantBadBoys. Compare and contrast InLoveWithYourCarnage; also compare PowerDynamicsKink, when someone is "turned on" by being subjugated and punished.

--> In an odd way, it was pleasant to be so securely held at such a high speed. It was poking some subconscious reptile-brain piece of me, I guessed, some part that wanted a protector and wanted to be sure that protector would suffice in extreme circumstances. The reptile-brain piece did not have the sophistication to realize that its would-be protector was also causing the extremity of the circumstances. It just noticed that I was going abnormally fast, and that a person it had other reasons to like was holding me nice and tight, preventing the speed from bringing me to harm.\\
And this was accompanied by a nice, warm feeling that quite compensated for the whooshing wind.

* ''ComicBook/{{Batwoman}}'': Almost all of Kate Kane's relationships have been with women who hold some type of power: Sophie Moore was a fellow high-ranking West Point cadet, Renee Montoya and Maggie Sawyer are cops, Safiyah Sohail was the de facto ruler of a pirate nation, and she's dated at least one lawyer. This attraction also extends to ''super''powers, as Kate has expressed desire for both Wonder Woman and Zatanna (though she's not been in a romantic relationship with a meta yet). On a more physical basis, she tends to be attracted to either women of color with wavy dark hair, or short-haired blonde women.
