** During a trip outside of the school, She-Beast is shown enchanting an otherwise ordinary deck of cards. However, in this case Jadis is infusing them with various cantrips meant to calm, confuse, or distract anyone who might attack her and her group, rather than do harm directly - since her father is a notorious SuperVillain, she is constantly under the eye of anyone who might want to catch her committing a crime, so she is always looking to defuse any situation that might arise rather than escalate it.

How (and why) someone is using cards as a weapon varies: it can be some form of AppliedPhlebotinum, magic, control of [[Franchise/XMen kinetic energy]], or even because the characters are [[BadassNormal just that good]]. Or they're a PaperMaster and that's just what happened to be on hand.

* ''VideoGame/YourOnlyMoveIsHUSTLE'' has the GameMod [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2965876510 Doubledown]], who is TheGambler and fights with a combination of cards, [[MoneyMauling gold coins]], and [[GoodOldFisticuffs bare knuckle brawling]]. Despite this seemingly simple moveset, Doubledown is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnB9xHvlcsw no joke]] and can hold his own with a combination of zoning, pressure, and devastating card tricks, including a CoinTargetingTrickshot.

* James from ''ComicBook/DeathVigil'' has a power set based around magical cards. Unlike many examples on this list, however, the motif is more aligned with ''{{collectible|CardGame}}'' cards than the standard 52-card deck.
