History Main / FlyingFirepower

* ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'': In this crossover Asuka Langley Sohryu -- a.k.a. ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' -- has Kryptonian DNA. Her powers include flight and heat vision.

** '''ComicBook/{{Storm}}''' uses ShockAndAwe for her special and WeatherManipulation for her hyper.

** Airwave has nebulously defined "radio" powers that involve energy blasts.
** ''ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders'': Halo has entirely too many powers, but flight and energy blasts (what kind of energy is strictly DependingOnTheWriter) are always part of the package.

** ''ComicBook/FirestormDCComics'': Firestorm possesses the power of the atom, able to fire nuclear energy as well as transmute matter.

** ''ComicBook/StarmanDCComics'':

** Karolina of ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' has this power set and eventually expands to force fields as well.

** [[Characters/MarvelComicsCaptainUniverse Captain Universe]] is pretty much living cosmic energy. It possesses a random person in the universe (including ComicBook/SpiderMan and ComicBook/{{X 23}} at different points) and grants them Class 4 SuperWeight cosmic powers.

* Charizard from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'', which resembles an orange fire-breathing lizard with wings.
** Heck, any Pokémon that is fire/flying or is a flying type that knows a fire type attack can be this.
** Its appearance in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series also counts.

* MakeMeWannaShout

** ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'': [[ComicBook/XMen Phoenix]] uses nothing but fire and the ability to fly, despite ostensibly having a wide variety of PsychicPowers form the original work.

*** Superman has EyeBeams, making him a FlyingBrick and FlyingFirepower. During his [[DorkAge Superman Red/Superman Blue phase]], like Captain Atom, he was basically a PureEnergy [[EnergyBeings Being]] in a containment suit.

** '''[[HornyDevils Trish and Morrigan]]''': They fly, and [[MoreDakka projectile spam]] is pretty much their primary method of attack.

* ''Franchise/TheDCU''
** ''Comicbook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders'': Halo has entirely too many powers, but flight and energy blasts (what kind of energy is strictly DependingOnTheWriter) are always part of the package.

** ''ComicBook/CaptainAtom'': The titular captain is living atomic energy contained inside a nigh-indestructible metal suit. In addition to being a FlyingBrick, he can fire the energy or, if his suit is ruptured, [[SuperpowerMeltdown it will erupt from his body on its own, possibly causing a nuclear explosion]].
*** Come DC's 2011 reboot, he's a walking reactor, the atoms in his body in a constant cycle of fission and fusion - with no metal suit. His powers remain much the same.
*** Breach is the Captain Atom of Earth-8, so he pretty much has the exact same powers.

** ''Franchise/GreenLantern'': The entire Franchise/GreenLantern Corps can do this. A notable example is Kilowog; despite having the ability to [[ShapingYourAttacks construct objects with green energy]] like other Lanterns, he prefers using raw, unshaped blasts.
** ''Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'':

** ''ComicBook/TheRay'': Possesses flight and [[LightEmUp light-based energy powers and beams.]] Pre-''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'', his power level had no cap; at certain points (ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime being a notable example), he'd absorbed a pretty big share of ALL THE ENERGY IN THE UNIVERSE. This, coupled with the fact that he could move (and, thanks to a writer change, react) at the speed of light, instantly heal from all damage, shrink, cast illusions, and turn invisible, is probably why most writers either didn't bother to use him or picked three or four of his powers out of a hat and limited him to those.
** ''ComicBook/{{Starman}}'':

** ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}:

** ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':

** ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'': ComicBook/{{Starfire}} is a RubberForeheadAlien that flies and shoots energy blasts from her hands.
** Airwave has nebulously defined "radio" powers that involve energy blasts.
** ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'':
*** Ultra Boy/Emerald Dragon (Jo Nah) has "Flash Vision" (similar to a Kryptonian's heat vision) and a Legion flight ring. He can also fly under his own power but can't use any of his other powers at the same time.
*** ComicBook/{{Valor}}/Mon-El/Nomad (Lar Gand) is a Daxamite, and therefore decended from Kryptonian hybrids with essentially the same powers but an added weakness to lead exposure.
*** Wildfire/ERG-1/NRG/Wildflame (Drake Burroughs) is sentient antimatter energy in a containment suit who can fly at faster than light speed and fire off energy blasts.
** "Julia," a Daxamite deserter who becomes a SpacePirate Revolutionary in ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'', used to have the whole Daxamite/Kryptonian package but when the Sangtee Empire captured and tortured her for trying to free their slaves the first thing they did was tear out her eyes so she's down to just flight by the time she meets Diana.

** ComicBook/CaptainUniverse: Pretty much living cosmic energy. It possesses a random person in the universe (including Franchise/SpiderMan and ComicBook/{{X 23}} at different points) and grants them Class 4 SuperWeight cosmic powers.
** ''ComicBook/DoctorStrange'': Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, typically wears the Cloak of Levitation, which enables him to float and fly without expending any of his personal strength. Handy whilst raining down bolts of mystic retribution. (See Video Games, below).
** ''ComicBook/IronMan'': Flight and "repulsor beams" (name varies), one of the few instances where the same capability allows for both flight ''and'' energy blasts. The loads of [[MacrossMissileMassacre missiles]] and [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]] help too.
** ComicBook/JeanGrey has this as one of her go-to strategies with or without the Phoenix, with her younger temporally displaced self displaying this against the Shi'ar Imperial Guard during ''The Trial of Jean Grey''.
** ''ComicBook/{{Magneto}}'': He can throw around ShockAndAwe and pretty much everything else on the electromagnetic spectrum -- though he's quite happy to use a large building instead.
** ''ComicBook/MsMarvel'' (Carol Danvers): KiManipulation from her hands. However, she's got general FlyingBrick powers too, so she tends to switch between energy beams and brawling.
** ''ComicBook/NewWarriors'': Vance Astrovik, aka Justice, is an extremely powerful telekinetic and primarily fights with TK blasts.
** ''ComicBook/{{Nova}}'': His entire power is basically that he flies really fast and hits really hard. Also, he's got forcefields and energy blasts.
** ComicBook/{{Quasar}} possesses the Quantum Bands, which allow him to fly at lightspeeds and fire quantum energy.
** Karolina of the ComicBook/{{Runaways}} has this power set, and eventually expands to force fields too.
** ''ComicBook/RachelSummers'' is the daughter of Jean Grey above and also spent ten years as the Host of the Phoenix. It's safe to say that she did a ''lot'' of this, against the likes of Galactus and the Beyonder (though in the former case, that was the Phoenix possessing her).
** ''ComicBook/SilverSurfer'': As a former herald of ComicBook/{{Galactus}}, Norrin Radd is nigh-omnipotent. On his own, he can fly at warp speeds and fire devastatingly powerful energy blasts. But that's only the ''tip'' of the [[RealityWarper iceberg.]]
** ''ComicBook/WarMachine'', being of a similar nature to Iron Man above, has all of Tony's armaments, plus a good old fashioned [[GatlingGood minigun]] on the shoulder.
** ''ComicBook/WonderMan'': Wonder Man's powers are constantly being changed, but he alternates between being a FlyingBrick and an {{Energy Being|s}}--which is ''also'' a FlyingBrick.

*** Original team member Angel originally could only fly but later acquired the ability to fling poisoned metal shards from his wings after being transformed by ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}} into Archangel.

*** Magneto's disciple Exodus is similar to Jean and X-Man above, being a psychic flier who attacks with psionic and telekinetic energy attacks, in addition to the occasional EyeBeams.

* Zip Kid, from ''Young Heroes In Love'', can shrink, fly, and shoot energy blasts. The smaller she gets, the faster she is, and the more powerful her energy blasts, IIRC.

* ForceField

* BeamSpam

** ''Comicbook/{{Batman}}'' villain Firefly is this, possessing a jetpack and an arsenal of incendiary weapons.

** Its appearance in the [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros]] series also counts.
* ''{{VideoGame/Touhou}}'' has Fujiwara no Mokou, a phoenix-themed immortal whose spellcards give her HotWings. But she's hardly unique in that regard since pretty much everyone in Gensokyo can fly and produce ridiculous amounts of projectiles, she's just the only one to use fire.

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* ''WebComics/{{Parimetra}}'': Antine, a.k.a. the superhero Torch, who's also one of the only heroes with [[OnePersonOnePower more than one power]].

** Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}:

*** In ''Comicbook/ManyHappyReturns'', Kara and Linda fight Rebel, a one-time villain who is super-strong, can fly and shoot energy blasts.

*** In ''Comicbook/KryptonNoMore'', Superman's rogues Protector and Radion can fly and shoot energy blasts.

** ''Comicbook/DoctorStrange'': Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, typically wears the Cloak of Levitation, which enables him to float and fly without expending any of his personal strength. Handy whilst raining down bolts of mystic retribution. (See Video Games, below).

** ''Comicbook/{{Nova}}'': His entire power is basically that he flies really fast and hits really hard. Also, he's got forcefields and energy blasts.

** ''Comicbook/WarMachine'', being of a similar nature to Iron Man above, has all of Tony's armaments, plus a good old fashioned [[GatlingGood minigun]] on the shoulder.

* In ''FanFic/MaverickHunterQuest'', Solstrike Saetos combines his flying abilities with a swarm of attack feathers that "eat" Reploid body materials.

** '''Comicbook/DoctorStrange''': He was specifically stated by Seth Killian (Capcom representative) to have been built with this trope in mind. One of his greatest assets is the ability out-spam other projectile spammers.
* ''Videogame/{{Overwatch}}'' has Pharah, who uses a jet pack in accordance with a rocket launcher. Her ultimate ability has her unleash a MacrossMissileMassacre while floating in the air.

* Prevalent in ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'', where everyone is capable of {{flight}} and launching {{danmaku}}.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

** ''ComicBook/WonderMan'': Wonder Man's powers are constantly being changed, but he alternates between being a FlyingBrick and an EnergyBeing--which is ''also'' a FlyingBrick.

* One episode of ''Series/TimeTrax'' has Darien run into a 22nd-century scientist who is "inventing" new devices in the 20th century (most of them either his own or others' inventions). The most dangerous invention is the APTUX (Anti-gravity Personal Transport Unit, Experimental), a belt that allows a person to fly. In the climax, a bad guy gets his hands on the second prototype (a more stable version) and starts chasing Darien and the scientist while firing a submachinegun from above. Darien is able to knock him out with his [[StunGun MPPT]], and the guy crashes to the ground, with the belt exploding.

** Tara: A female robot based on the original Torch, who was a member of the [[ComicBook/TheInvadersMarvel New Invaders]]. [[spoiler: Was secretly built by the ComicBook/RedSkull for the purpose of infiltrating the New Invaders and destroying them when she self destructed. Jim Hammond sacrificed himself to save her and the Invaders]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': Starfire flings {{Energy Ball}}s from her hand and later gains EyeBeams of the same nature. Also a FlyingBrick.

* In ''Literature/{{Worm}}'', and sequel ''Literature/{{Ward}}'' Legend is most powerful character with this combination of powers in the setting, able to fire lasers that can turn corners, split into multiple beams, pass through walls, and freeze or ignite his targets. A number of other characters have similar powersets, although usually to a significantly lesser degree.

[[quoteright:350:[[ComicBook/{{Firestorm}} https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FirestormNukesACity_6698.jpg]]]]

** ''ComicBook/{{Firestorm}}'': Firestorm possesses the power of the atom, able to fire nuclear energy as well as transmute matter.

* ''Series/ArrowVerse'' has ComicBook/{{Firestorm}}, ComicBook/TheAtom, and ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}. One ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' episode also shows that, in the future, the [[OneNationUnderCopyright Kasnia Conglomerate]] will use flying robots inspired by the Atom suit to police the populace.
