Anything That Moves is a disambiguation


* BettyAndVeronica: Star Brand had this, with {{Jerkass}} Ken Connell mainly concerned with who he was attracted to more; mom Barbara and TheDitz Debbie "Duck" Fix. He eventually goes with the Duck, because she seems to be blindly devoted to him due to apparent self-esteem issues whereas Barbara and her kids would be in danger from the Star Brand (one of which seems to already have been altered by a Star-Brand powered MindScrew). To be fair, Connell cements his {{Jerkass}} status by being temporarily attracted to Barbara's 15-year-old babysitter and sleeping with AnythingThatMoves.

* UpToEleven: Philip Nolan Voigt (aka "Overshadow"), originally the BigBad of ''ComicBook/DP7'', can duplicate any paranormal's powers, but ''amplified''. Jacob Burnley eventually uses the Star Brand to depower him by overloading him and causing a SuperPowerMeltdown.

%%** Even after the title's finale it continued in a comic book of ''another company'': In the Creator/DCComics mini [[ComicBook/LegendsDC Legends]], drawn by Byrne, Guy Gardner beats a villain named Sunspot, who is a transparent {{Expy}} of Star Brand. Guy doesn't even break a sweat, and Sunspot ends the fight by shooting himself in the foot while ranting about why the New Universes he tries to create keep exploding.
