** In "Recap/AsterixInSpain", Asterix succeeds in defeating a wild aurochs with this method -- after some spectacular Spanish bullfighting, of course.
** In "Recap/AsterixAndTheMagicCarpet", a stalemated BeamOWar between two fakirs on magic carpets is resolved when the heroic Watziznehm makes his carpet fly straight upwards, causing the sudden lack of resistance to send his villainous opponent Owzat hurtling into the side of a minaret.
* In ''ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheRift'', Aang beats a group of Earthbenders by getting them to surround him and then jumping high above them, causing all four to crash into each other. He gives them a little push with airbending to make sure it happens.

** ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'':
*** During a fight near the demolished Gotham bridge in ''ComicBook/BatmanNoMansLand'' Batman ducks a thrown rock which ends up hitting the guy behind him. It sends him off the bridge and into the water, landing straight on one of the mines the government has placed to keep Gotham sealed off. [[ThouShaltNotKill Hopefully that wasn't intentional on Batsy's part...]]
*** When Batman fights a mind-controlled Superman in ''ComicBook/BatmanHush'', he uses this tactic to get Superman to punch an electrical panel, though this only delays Superman temporarily.

---->'''Supergirl:''' Luck had nothing to do with it, Shyla... I knew you couldn't control your flying ability yet, so I let you get in that last punch... Then I used Newton's Law of Motion-- for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction-- It forced you back into the Projector's ray!

** In ''ComicBook/DayOfTheDollmaker'', Supergirl defeats Baroness Blitzkrieg's charging tactics by stepping aside and tripping her into a row of trees.
* In the ''Literature/LoneWolf'' graphic novel ''The Skull of Agarash'', Lone Wolf sidesteps two Lakuri Isles pirates attacking from both sides, and they bump heads together. Then, they are taken out of the fight by the same arrow (from the RainOfArrows released by the other pirates) going through both their skulls.

*** This is also his common technique for taking down stronger opponents such as Scorpion or the Rhino.
*** During a fight with the serial killer known as the Sin-Eater, Spider-Man dodged a blast from the villain's shotgun. Unfortunately, their fight was in a crowded area and the shot hit a civilian. Spider-Man being rattled by this greatly affected his performance in the battle and the following issue reveals the civilian died.
* In ''ComicBook/TheShadowHero'', Hank doesn't seem to do this intentionally, but his opponents manage to repeatedly shoot their own allies trying to hit him.
* In ''Comicbook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'', this is how Sonic wins the very first fight we see him in, tricking [[BigBad Dr. Robotnik]] into hitting Caterkiller.
* In one ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' comic, a rhino-shaped decepticon (Stranglehold) charged against an autobot, who very politely introduced him to the wall.
