* [[{{Hellsing}} Alucard,]] ''[[FlashyInvincibleHero Alucard,]]'' ''[[CompleteMonster ALUCARD,]]'' '''''[[EldritchAbomination ALUCARD.]]'''''

* Until 2003, ''[[{{Jeopardy}} Jeopardy!]]'' champions could win up to 5 games before being retired. Starting in the 2003-04 season, the producers instituted a "sky's the limit" rule, where champions could go on and on winning until being defeated. Towards the season's end, Ken Jennings came along and went on a [[BeyondTheImpossible 74-game]] [[GoneHorriblyRight winning streak]] that lasted into the next season. And [[YourMileageMayVary it's debatable]] whether Jennings' last game was a genuine loss, or him throwing in the towel, thinking "I've got enough, I can go home now.".

* Google Chrome, a web browser of all things, features a mode called Incognito, where everything you open in that mode isn't recorded to your history. So, it's now ridiculously easy to open [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean the more adult websites]] without your parents knowing.

* The Mangekyo Sharingan and Rinnegan from ''{{Naruto}}'' can both be considered GameBreakers. Also recently shown [[spoiler: Kabutomaru's use of Edo Tensei, which allows him to ressurrect an army of uber powerful zombies that can't be killed unless one summons a death god to rip the souls out of them.]]

* When PhineasAndFerb create a virtual reality game, Candace gets sucked in, with a ModestyTowel and more important to the trope a hairdryer reducing the use of "jumping and ducking."

* In ToAruMajutsuNoIndex, Accelerator's esper ability is pretty much a total GameBreaker. He can control the vector values of ANYTHING he touches. He can increase/decrease the speed, change the direction and gravity of where it goes and control how much force feedback it can cause. Including his own body. He just has to touch you to cause severe harm to your innards. And woe betide anyone who is or gets wounded in a fight against him. In THAT case he will touch your wound, making contact with your blood. THEN he'll just [[AndIMustScream reverse the flow of the blood circulation, killing you in a VERY horrible way.]] And to top the whole thing: his powers are automatic so anything that tries to hit him hits back to where it came from, hard. When a character can theoretically fly and survive a nuclear bomb dropped directly on him without breaking a sweat, you know you don't want to oppose him...

* JojosBizarreAdventure [[spoiler:Giorno Giovanna's final stand, Gold Experience Requiem, is a literal example of this. With this stand no action, process, ability, ANYTHING, can cause Giorno harm, nowhere, nohow, even defying time and space to protect itself and it's user. Nothing can touch him, and the conquences for being killed by it are even WORSE.]]

* Generals have always been looking for the next GameBreaker. First there was biological warfare. Then guns. Then came nuclear weapons. This is why there are treaties on nuclear weapons, and the whole existence of mutual assured destruction. Of course, this doesn't stop people from looking for (unworkable) ways to neutralize nuclear weapons, which would be a GameBreaker indeed. In the more "out there" world, the CIA has done investigations into truth serums and psychic phenomena.

* Basketball used to have a game breaker of its own. It used to be possible to get a lead in the game, then literally sit on the ball, forcing the other team to foul, hoping that the player would miss the free throws in order to get the ball back and have a chance of scoring. To solve this problem, Danny Biasone created the shot clock, requiring a team to take a shot within 24 seconds or lose possession of the ball. This addition radically changed the way that game was played, making old versions of the game almost unrecognizable today.

* Michael Larson, a contestant on the game show ''PressYourLuck''. He ''memorized'' the patterns that the board revolves around ahead of time, and became the biggest winner in the show's history by a huge margin ($110,237 in cash and prizes). Following this, the patterns were repeatedly changed to prevent another such incident.
