* Marvel Comics: Superheroes ''ComicBook/CloakAndDagger'' do this all the time. Cloak has darkness powers that he has to feed with energy in order to survive. Dagger produces daggers of light and has to periodically emit them to keep from losing control. They have a symbiotic relationship with Dagger feeding Cloak her excess energy.
* ComicBook/{{Galactus}} gives his Heralds a minuscule portion of his life energy in order for them to be able to traverse space to find planets for him to eat. ComicBook/SilverSurfer is the first of the heralds.
* Creator/MarvelComics' ''ComicBook/SecretWars1984'' has Characters/DoctorDoom wrest the godlike powers away from the Beyonder, then gives Earth's heroes an ultimatum: leave Doom alone, and Doom will leave the heroes alone. Interfere with Doom, and Doom will eradicate the heroes in one fell swoop. Deciding that Doom cannot be trusted, the heroes launch an assault on the Tower of Doom. Doom, not wanting to loose tremendous power that he so recently acquired, donates some to TheDragon Klaw. Klaw is sent to thwart the heroes while Doom attempts to steady his thoughts and keep his awesome power bottled.

* ''Literature/ImmortalGuardians'': In the climax of ''Death of Darkness'', Seth, Zach, and David power up for their final showdown by draining energy from several of the still neutral Others, some of whom volunteer their energy stores, some who do not. This literally makes Seth so powerful that he glows and allows him to exceed the normal limits of his already extremely powerful abilities. Later, when David is struck with what should be a fatal wound, his excess donated energy immediately heals the wound and allows him to keep fighting. Seth finishes off Gershom by draining Gershom's energy stores to the point that Gershom can no longer use his powers to fight.

** Soul Reapers can transfer some of their energy to another person to [[SuperEmpowering give them shinigami powers]] or restore lost ones. The series starts with Rukia trying to give some of her power to Ichigo in an emergency, but accidentally giving him almost all of it.

* In ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', transferring power from one person to another becomes important in all three routes. Usually this takes the form of magical energy or "mana", but can also involve things like the transfer of command seals or a mage's family crest. In the original eroge version of the visual novel, this is most effectively accomplished through a [[DeusSexMachina ritual involving sexual intercourse]], but the BleachedUnderpants adaptations replace actual sex with various sexual metaphors.

* ''Series/{{Tracker}}'': Cole essentially does this to Mel in the pilot, reviving her with a burst of energy after she's zapped by Zin. There's a reversal much later in the series, after it's discovered that Mel is a hybrid. She powered up Cole to restore his powers after one of Zin's {{Mooks}} hit him with a laser and rendered him unable to use his alien powers.

* ''Literature/TheRavenTower'': The god Oissen coordinates the DivineConflict against the Raven's forces by forming [[MagicallyBindingContract contracts]] with his allied gods to allow him to draw on their power. [[spoiler:The Strength and Patience of the Hill doesn't trust Oissen, and sure enough, he's been [[LoopholeAbuse exploiting a loophole]] in the contracts to drain the gods to death.]]
