History Main / HotWings

* Rin's gemstone attack from ''BattleMoonWars'' looks like this.

* Antimony from ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'', going on with her [[ElementalEmbodiment basic nature]] and ThePhoenix metaphor of [[GenerationXerox her life]], during her summer in the Gillitie Wood learned to spread these. While for normal sight it's just a [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=877 subtle wings-shaped blur in the air]], albeit with quite impressive span, for [[SpiritWorld etheric]] vision she can look like a WingedHumanoid... [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=988 melded with firestorm.]]

[[folder: Anime and Manga ]]
* ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'': Shana earns a sweet pair of fire wings relatively early on.
* ''Manga/SaintSeiya'': Phoenix Ikki almost always appears with a fiery, phoenix shaped aura. His most powerful attack always manifests as a phoenix in one shape or another.
* ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman'': The God Phoenix maneuver. Good for moving in a hurry. Bad if you happen to be in front of it, as many a MonsterOfTheWeek found out the hard way.
* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': Sailor Mars' Fire Soul Bird attack.
* When the [[spoiler:Inbit/[[DubNameChange Invid]] leave Earth]] in ''Anime/GenesisClimberMospeada'' (aka ''{{Anime/Robotech}}: The New Generation''), they take the form of a huge energy Phoenix.
* ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'': King J-Der's J-Quath, a bow-shaped weapon that transforms into a vaguely bird-shaped ray that pierces enemies and extracts their cores. Topped in the OVA by the J-Phoenix, in which the entire (ship-sized) robot turns into a giant, much clearer phoenix, complete with a beak/mouth and peacock plumes. [[ByThePowerOfGreyskull "In flame, the phoenix... IS REBORN!"]]\\
\\
The J-Phoenix also doubles as being a DangerousForbiddenTechnique, since even the villain stated that [[RammingAlwaysWorks smashing your ship right into the opponent's]] is generally considered suicidal. Also, a variant exists in the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Plasma Wing]] that both J-Der and King J-Der are equipped with, which gives the HumongousMecha wings... made of plasma.
* [[spoiler:Atomsk]] from ''Anime/{{FLCL}}''.

* ''Franchise/YuGiOh'': When the Winged Dragon of Ra goes out of mechanical-gryphon mode, it takes the form of a bird made out of fire.
* In ''Manga/KannazukiNoMiko'', Tsubasa's mech has glowing energy wings.
* Sunred's SuperMode Firebird Form in ''Manga/TentaiSenshiSunred'' consists of a pair of massive fiery wings.
* Signum from ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' gets these when [[spoiler: [[FusionDance unisoned with Agito]]]]. Since she can fly already, it's mostly [[PowerGivesYouWings shorthand for the sheer amount of destruction she's about to lay down.]]
* ''Anime/TekkamanBlade's'' Crush Intrude attack.
* The mature form of Saffron, the king of the bird people from ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', is a WingedHumanoid who can throw his own flaming wings to attack enemies.
* The ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchize has a few of these. Most notably:
** ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]'': V-2 Victory Gundam has "Wings of Light" which cut enemies apart. And can extend to [[{{BFS}} kilometers in length]].
** ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Gundam SEED]]'': Freedom Gundam has a form with these.
** ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]'' Destiny Gundam also has such a form.
** ''Anime/TurnAGundam'': The Turn A and Turn X both have the ultimate Hot Wings: [[ApocalypseHow Moonlight]] [[NanoMachines Butterfly]].
* When ''Manga/FairyTail'''s [[PlayingWithFire Natsu]] gets powerful enough, he can manifest giant wings made of fire, and sometimes even a [[BattleAura dragon-shaped aura of flames]].

* Rayearth from ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'' has a pair.

[[folder:Film]]

* In the film version of ''Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia: Film/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe'', the Phoenix on the side of LaResistance ignites itself into flames and then razes the ground to create a fiery barrier.
* The Balrog in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' had bony wings wreathed in smoke and shadow.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Sunset Shimmer from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' gains these in her post-[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]] music video "My Past is Not Today", illustrating her change from evil to good and her subsequent desire to make herself new. Her previously released "Time to Shine" doll also featured these.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'', Hades recruits the eagle that regularly eats Prometheus' liver and grants him this ability.
[[/folder]]

* The Firebird from ''[[Disney/{{Fantasia}} Fantasia 2000]]'' has these, because it ''is'' made of fire.

A massive flying creature made of energy, commonly a predatory bird made of fire, is a common visual metaphor for {{Limit Break}}s, fast transportation and other special abilities. Or just making you look that much more BadAss. Dragons, moths and other winged creature shapes may also be used, up to WingedHumanoid. The origin of this trope seems to come from ThePhoenix.

* In ''KannazukiNoMiko'', Tsubasa's mech has glowing energy wings.

** In ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn'' ([[WorldOfPun a punny game in the first place]]), the phoenix boss of [[LethalLavaLand Hot Land]] is actually named Hot Wings (yet it's not the TropeNamer).

** Also, one of the bosses in ''VideoGame/KirbySqueakSquad'' is an owl with fiery wings [[MixAndMatchCritters and a raccoon tail]], named Bohboh.

* In ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn'' ([[WorldOfPun a punny game in the first place]]), the phoenix boss of [[LethalLavaLand Hot Land]] is actually named Hot Wings (yet it's not the TropeNamer).

* ''Comicbook/XMen'': ComicBook/JeanGrey, commonly known as Phoenix often sheaths herself in a fiery bird-shaped aura when she flies, or just really cuts loose. Rachel Summers, her daughter from an alternate future (it's [[TangledFamilyTree even more complicated than it sounds]]) does the same.
