* Discussed in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', Flame Princess (a fire elemental) sees Finn crying over her. She thinks he's a water elemental because he "releases water," which is why they can't get along.
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': One of the reasons it takes a while for Aang to get the hang of earthbending from Toph is because air's affinities (free-flowing, evasive) are diametrically opposed to earth's (direct and confrontational).

* Namor the ComicBook/SubMariner and the original Human Torch. Namor does not actually have water powers but is at his strongest underwater and while operating on the surface will periodically take dips to restore himself. The Human Torch is a fire shooting android that defends New York while Namor seeks to destroy it.
* ''Franchise/XMen'' has [[ShockAndAwe Surge]] and [[DishingOutDirt Dust]] who are rivals. They are only ideological rivals though as Dust is at a severe disadvantage in a physical contest. Another example is given by Iceman, a shape shifter who draws energy from his surroundings and Havok, whose laser beam shooting body requires a special suit to keep under control. They are a bit more evenly matched but, again, are romantic rivals for a woman's affections more than anything else.
