* ''WebAnimation/EpithetErased'': Part of Zora's [[SuperPowerLottery frankly overpowered epithet]] is that [[TimeMaster she can rapidly age, and in some cases de-age, people and objects]]. She causes Percy's gun to rust away to powder in seconds and ages [[BadassNormal Howie Honeyglow]] into an old man, leaving his fall off a roof paused in the middle just for laughs. [[spoiler:It doesn't work on Ramsey in his ChromeChampion form, though; [[NoSell gold doesn't corrode!]]]]
