** In a Free Comic Book Day issue, an LHC test causes a problem that could rupture causality, and Robo and Dr. Dinosaur [[EnemyMine team up]] to fix it. Unfortunately, it's all a ruse by Dr. Dinosaur in order to sic a cyborg Tyrannosaurus on Robo. Robo and his team use the LHC to defeat it, reasoning that it's "a twenty-seven-kilometer-long proton cannon".

One of the clones becomes a Dr. Phosphorus type called Mr. Toxic. Also, the exact duplicate of the LHC fits in Marder's office in the middle of Wayne Tower, and Lucius Fox thinks the purpose of the LHC is "to create a black hole".
* The ''Freshmen'' comic book series is about a particle accelerator giving a bunch of college students superpowers [[PersonalityPowers based on what they were thinking of when it activated]]. A vegan gains the ability to talk to plants, a codependent couple gains telekinesis but [[WonderTwinPowers only when touching]], a boy distressed over his TeenyWeenie gains an indestructible penis that's several feet long.

* Most energy weapons in the ''VideoGame/{{Homeworld}}'' series are a weaponised variant of this trope. The first version the player's faction can build is a [[FixedForwardFacingWeapon spinal-mounted linear accelerator]] that takes up a whole frigate hull and is something of a GlassCannon, but destroyers and cruisers can carry turreted versions. The player faction in ''Cataclysm'' go a rather different direction with their ion cannon frigate, which uses a closed-loop accelerator with five apertures leading to arrays of powerful electromagnets that act as turrets, resulting in [[BeamSpam individually weaker but much more rapid-fire particle beams]] and a very effective anti-starfighter vessel.
