History Main / ThrowDownTheBomblet

* Mollo from ''Videogame/RivalsOfAether'' is a [[AscendedFanon Workshop-original]] fighter whose fighting style revolves around tossing his bombs. Once he takes out a bomb with his neutral special, he can toss, drop, or even pick them up mid-attack with his other moves, and his game plan involves setting up and placing them to control the battlefield and rack up damage.

** The ''Gun Runners Arsenal'' {{DLC}} includes the aptly-named "Mad Bomber" perk which unlocks more recipes for homemade explosives, culminating in the Fat Mine, a Fat Man mini-nuke retrofitted into a proximity mine.

When it comes to {{Fiction}}, nearly every weapon can be found as a WeaponOfChoice. They can range from the [[ImprobableWeaponUser wildly improbable]] or [[AwesomeButImpractical impractical]] to the [[BoringButPractical mundane]]. Somewhere in-between these lie those who use thrown explosives and incendiaries as a weapon of choice.

* In the ''Anime/CoyoteRagtimeShow'', each of Madame Marciano's [[ElegantGothicLolita 12 SISTERs]] has a WeaponOfChoice. One of the smaller ones prefers very large hand grenades.

* Bombshell's WeaponOfChoice in ''ComicBook/SpyBoy''.

* Two members of the Akatsuki in ''Anime/{{Naruto}}'' favored explosives. Deidara's body produced explosive clay (basically C-4) from mouths in the palms of both hands, and prior to joining the Akatsuki was a member of the "Explosion Corps". Konan was a little less focused, with her powers being centered around paper, but after Tobi [[BerserkButton stole Nagato's remains]] she deployed '''600 billion''' explosive paper bombs against him which took a full 10 minutes to all detonate.

* ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soulcalibur III]]'' has the [[KnifeNut Dagger]] Create-a-Character style use a small bomb in several of its moves. It is used officially by the MagnificentBastard Chester from the AlternateContinuity mode ''Chronicles of the Sword''.

* Members of grenadier regiments of 18th-century European Warfare had to be the biggest, brawniest, and ''most disciplined'' of an army's troops. Usually tall farmboys, they had to have the strength and force of will to stay in a neat line and march, in-step, while carrying a bomb, a lot of gunpowder, and some form of fire to ignite it to within twenty yards of the enemy (the effective range of a musket being 80 yards). The survivors would then throw ''very'' temperamental lumps of gunpowder and iron the size of their own fists (or bigger) at them, and fire their muskets before charging, screaming wildly to channel their fear, into the probably-mostly-dead-and-dying enemy with their bayonets fixed to try and stab them to death. On the plus side, the fact grenadier units tended to have a higher turnover (mortality) rate than other units meant that most armies could afford to pay their grenadiers more than their other soldiers (dead men don't get paid), in addition to giving them extra-fancy uniforms and [[NiceHat really nice hats]]. Please note that the above description applies to "real" grenadiers, that is those actually using bombs as weapons. The term evolved to include units of people chosen for size and strength even if they were not normally using grenades.

* In ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'', the Explodatorium boss Plague Knight throws explosive potions of various types constantly as if they were grenades, in addition to spawning exploding vats and utilizing VillainTeleportation. His playable appearance in the expansion ''Plague of Shadows'' grants you access to the arsenal his boss fight uses [[UpToEleven and much more]], except instead of teleporting, he can explode his potions beneath him for a boost in his jumps. His {{Mook}}s also throw explosives, but as ''Plague of Shadows'' reveals, they're only the basic black powder bombs Plague Knight starts the game with.

** The ''Long War'' mod for ''Enemy Unknown'' brings this UpToEleven with the [[TheEngineer Engineer]] class, descended from the Support. With proper upgrades, they can carry 9 grenades of any kind (3 per slot), 2 free smoke grenades, 3 free battle scanners, and throw all of them 70% further. Alternatively, they can trade 50% (additive) of the extra throwing distance for a [[StuffBlowingUp rocket launcher]] or the homing Blaster Launcher, allowing them to pack even more explosives. [[NintendoHard And it's quite possible]] for missions to give ample cause to use up ''all'' of those.

%%* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'': Ja Wangnan and his trusty [[FanNickname PokéBombs]].

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Seventh Doctor's companion Ace brought her own supply of home-made explosives (Nitro-9) on her travels, and would toss canisters of it with gay abandon. The Doctor tended to discourage this... except when it was useful to him ("Hand me some of that Nitro-9 [[BlatantLies you're not carrying]]").

* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'' has Emil, who, upon seeing that the expedition is equipped with metric tonne of explosives, breaks into uncontrollable, maniacal giggling.
* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'': Ja Wangnan and his trusty [[FanNickname PokéBombs]].

* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': Dylan's Shock ''Bombs''.
* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': Koden's Shock Balls.

* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 3}}: Moze's Demolition Woman skill tree is all about grenades and splash damage: her grenades can CriticalHit, can LifeDrain, have a chance to replenish ammo (including more grenades) on hitting, have a chance to double their blast radius, improve her Action Skill cooldown rate when hitting an enemy, and of course she can carry more grenades.

* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'': There are firebomb-throwing skeletons in Undead Burg, and they can be quite the GoddamnedBats. On the other hand, throwing firebombs like a maniac is a valid way to fight your way through this NintendoHard game, especially if you're too weak to melee and doesn't have a spell to sling.

* In ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'' Gokudera is a bomber with the personality to match. Although for firey personality, he displays good control over his projectiles.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Worms}}'' provides a wide variety of grenade-type weapons, from the basic pineapple grenade or MolotovCocktail, to bomblet-scattering [[RecursiveAmmo Cluster Bombs and Banana Bombs]] to the HolyHandGrenade. It's quite possible to play exclusively with grenades.

* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'' has Emil, who, upon seeing that the expedition is equipped with metric tonne of explosives, breaks into uncontrollable, maniacal giggling.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': Dylan's Shock ''Bombs''.

* Done repeatedly by the Obliteratrix in the ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' episode "Pawn of Shadows".
* This is Doyle's attack of choice in ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'':
** Roland the Soldier has a skill which allows him to [[BottomlessMagazines regenerate his grenades]] as he kills more enemies ''with'' grenades, ensuring a constant supply of explosions. The variety of TrickBomb upgrades available to grenades makes this a useful skill for people who can place explosives.
** Conversely, Brick, the, uh, [[CharacterAsHimself Brick]] of the game, simply gets skills and gear that upgrades the power of his grenades. Though his grenades won't regenerate like Roland's can, they can do ''much'' more damage.
* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'':
** Axton the Commando has the Grenadier skill, which increases the number of grenades he can carry. Grenadier ''class mods'' give boosts to grenade damage and put extra points into the Grenadier skill. A Grenadier-built Axton is thus, duh, very much encouraged to use grenades all the time. He also has Do or Die, which allows him to throw grenades in Fight for Your Life mode, and various skills that increase explosive damage.
** Krieg the Psycho has a few skills of his own boost explosive damage and tosses sticks of dynamite in Fight for Your Life if he has the Light the Fuse skill selected.
* ''Videogame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'':
** One of Claptrap's unlockable Action Packages for his [[RandomEffectSpell VaultHunter.EXE]] is "Torgue Fiesta", which causes him and his allies to randomly spew out grenades in front of him.
** Jack's Body Double has various skills that improve his grenades, including a skill that gives him a free grenade throw whenever he kills four enemies (meaning that he can potentially have endless grenades as long as he kills at least four per toss) as well as being able to order his Digi-Jacks to toss grenades.
* ''VideoGame/CodeNameSteam'': Several examples.
** Henry Fleming uses an eagle-shaped grenade during his special attack, Eagle Strike.
** John Henry's primary weapon, the Bear Grenade, has a large area of effect that requires little precision.
** Queequeg qualifies, as well, with his primary weapon, the Penguin Lobber. This unorthodox weapon launches a mechanical penguin, which waddles over to an enemy before exploding.
* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'': There are firebomb-throwing skeletons in Undead Burg, and they can be quite the GoddamnedBats. On the other hand, throwing firebombs like a maniac is a valid way to fight your way through this NintendoHard game, especially if you're too weak to melee and doesn't have a spell to sling.
* The entire premise of the game ''VideoGame/SilentBomber'' is that the player is equipped with an "E-Unit" which allows him to place or throw around bombs.
* In ''[[VideoGame/DawnOfWar Dawn of War II: Retribution]]'', the Ork Kommando hero, Spookums, is armed with a shotgun, but nearly all of his most powerful abilities involve explosives. He can throw Stikkbombs, smoke bombs, anti-tank Melta Bombs, [[ImprobableWeaponUser and truck tyres]]...
* The N7 Demolisher Engineer is a ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' multiplayer character whose skills revolve around nothing but grenades. She can deploy [[{{Roboteching}} homing grenades]] and [[ShockAndAwe arc grenades]], and she's capable of setting up a supply pylon that regularly spawns more grenades to refill her (or her team's) ammo stock. The girl wears fully sealed PoweredArmor and doesn't get much characterisation, but since she's [[ElitesAreMoreGlamorous N7]] and therefore one of humanity's very best Special Forces operatives, it's safe to assume she leans more on the "cold and logical" side than treading MadBomber territory.
* Thrown bombs as a character's basic attack appear a number of times in the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series, starting with one of the playable characters in ''Final Fantasy VII Before Crisis''. Other habitual bomb-tossers include Ashe in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIIRevenantWings'', anybody who chooses to acquire any of the licenses for the various hand-bomb class weapons in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', and the DummiedOut Nu'mou job of Transmuter from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsA2''.
* In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', the goblin race lives by the motto "When in doubt... blow it up. If at first you don't succeed: blow it up again". If you chose the engineer profession you can opt for either Gnomish or Goblin specialization. The latter allows you to create powerful explosives that are bound to cause you some damage as well.
* [[FatBastard Dong Zhuo]] has become one of these by the time of ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors 7'' DLC, which carried over into ''Dynasty Warriors Next, VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi 3'' and ''Dynasty Warriors 8''. His standard moveset involves throwing a ''lot'' of bombs around, employing either an excessive amount of bomb spam or setting up timed traps with them. It is possible to give this weapon to almost any character by the time of ''Dynasty Warriors 8'', so you can have an entire MadBomber cast if so desired.
* In ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'', the Explodatorium boss Plague Knight throws explosive potions of various types constantly as if they were grenades, in addition to spawning exploding vats and utilizing VillainTeleportation. His playable appearance in the expansion ''Plague of Shadows'' grants you access to the arsenal his boss fight uses [[UpToEleven and much more]], except instead of teleporting, he can explode his potions beneath him for a boost in his jumps. His {{Mook}}s also throw explosives, but as ''Plague of Shadows'' reveals, they're only the basic black powder bombs Plague Knight starts the game with.
* The Dusk Lobber from ''VideoGame/{{Plants Vs Zombies 2|ItsAboutTime}}'' lobs exploding buds that deal SplashDamage, essentially miniature bombs. When powered by Moonflower, she will fire a spread of them into adjacent lanes to, causing big damage if the explosions overlap. Her [[LimitBreak Plant Food]] drops four larger explosives on four squares, each of them then explode a 3x3 area for huge damage.
* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' has one in the form of Junkrat, an explosives-obsessed outlaw from Australia. His abilities in-game include a homemade grenade launcher, a land mine that also launches those it explodes on far away, and an exploding ''car tire''. He's not exactly the most normal person in the game.
** To a lesser extent there's Tracer, who's ultimate ability is a sticky bomb that is a death sentence for almost any non-tanks it gets stuck onto.
* ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'' has Bomb King, a royally explosive robot whose bombs are actually his subjects. He can throw up to six ''Sticky Bombs'' and detonate them at will, throw a larger Grumpy Bomb that will explode on its own and stun anyone in its blast radius, and throw a ''Poppy Bomb'' that causes a strong knockback to any target in range, including himself. His ultimate, ''King Bomb'', turns himself into a giant rolling bomb that stuns and deals heavy damage upon detonation.
* Every game in the ''[[VideoGame/DarkForcesSaga Dark Forces/Jedi Knight]]'' series featured thermal detonator-throwing Gran as one class of enemy.
* ''VideoGame/{{Bioshock}}'''s Nitro Splicers only use tin can bombs or {{molotov|Cocktail}}s as weapons. Jack and Delta can [[GrenadeHotPotato catch their bomblets with Telekinesis and toss them back at the Splicers]].
* The Demolitionist mastery in ''VideoGame/GrimDawn'' gets access to a variety of grenade skills, including flashbangs, a MolotovCocktail, electrified caltrops, thermite mines, cluster bombs, and plain old concussion grenades.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'': There are a few soldiers posted on Hyrule Castle's walls, who throw bombs down on Link.
** In ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'', bombs are a subweapon that can be used by anyone. Several bombs are thrown by default to take out multiple enemies, although they're by far the most inaccurate out of all the subweapons and can't be aimed reliably.
* ''VideoGame/GoldeneyeRogueAgent'': Though James Bond has been known to carry grenades in other games, ''Rogue Agent's'' main character always has five grenades as his default left-hand weapon.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Worms}}'' provides a wide variety of grenade-type weapons, from the basic pineapple grenade or MolotovCocktail, to bomblet-scattering [[RecursiveAmmo Cluster Bombs and Banana Bombs]] to the HolyHandGrenade. It's quite possible to play exclusively with grenades.

* In the anime ''Manga/GunsmithCats'', "Minnie" May Hopkins has a ''slight'' tendency to use home-made concussion grenades in inappropriate situations. However, she's [[ImprobableAimingSkills every bit as skilled in their use as Rally is with handguns.]] A single one will just leave a couple of gang members stunned for a minute or so. She can use three to blow out a pursuing car's driveshaft. And when she's really pissed off, she'll set off '''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill a dozen of them at once]]''', causing extensive damage to whatever building she's in (typically shown with a DiscretionShot of the outside of the building with all the windows breaking and billowing out smoke).

* In ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'', Sanosuke's former resistance comrade Katsuhiro Tsukioka employs this tactic, with the aid of flint rings on his fingers to ignite the fuses as and when needed. Henya from the Juppongatana uses dynamite sticks to both sustain his high-flying style and attack his opponents.

* Minene Uryu from ''Manga/FutureDiary'', completely in sync with her reputation as a terrorist.
* In ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', Homura Akemi fights exclusively with pipebombs [[spoiler:in the first timeline]]. While very efficient, other [[MagicalGirl Puella Magis]] complained about possible collateral damage. Homura answered by adding guns to her arsenal. [[MoreDakka Lots and lots of guns.]]
* Lan Fan and Fu from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' frequent the use of bombs in addition to hand-to-hand combat. While Fu uses various types of explosives such as flash bombs and tear gas bombs, Lan Fan almost exclusively uses grenades. Edward is able to confirm her identity after being caught in one of her explosions, (recognizing the previous destruction she had caused, which nearly killed him).
* ''Manga/{{Btooom}}'' almost exclusively uses bombs.
* In ''Manga/Brave10'', part of Benmaru's bag of tricks includes grenades enough for carpet bombing, despite being a poor abandoned child.

* There is a grenade-throwing IRA mercenary in the Comicbook/SinCity story ''Big Fat Kill''. He mentions that while he prefers using grenades, he'll use his knife against Dwight since he killed his friends. At that point, ItsPersonal.
* Franchise/SpiderMan's arch-enemy, the [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn Green Goblin]] and those who followed his designs all use pumpkin-shaped grenades as their weapon of choice. Though they will use explosives not shaped like pumpkins if necessary.

* Bombshell's WeaponOfChoice in ''ComicBook/SpyBoy''.

* In ''Fanfic/DreamingOfSunshine'', Shikako's first weapon-of-choice happens to be explosive tags and notes. Her reliance on them eventually morphs into a RunningGag.
* ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': Rex the Diamond Dog is skilled at creating and using explosive potions.

* In ''Literature/{{The Dark Tower|2004}}'', when we finally meet the Crimson King, [[spoiler: he's a shrieking old man whose only remaining weapon is his score of [[ShoutOut sneetches.]]]]

* ''VideoGame/OrcsMustDie2'' features two of these. The Dwarven Guardians (who aid the player) and the Gnoll Grenadiers. The former will stand largely stationary and lob grenades a medium distance at approaching foes (switching to their hammers when in melee) while the latter will sprint around the map lobbing grenades at Guardians and the Player(s).
* All three playable characters from ''VideoGame/ResonanceOfFate'' can equip the "Grenade Box", which allows them to throw grenades, [[ElementalRockPaperScissors elemental grenades]], {{Molotov Cocktail}}s, or even ''dog shit''.
* Jin from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' uses grenades as his weapon of choice.
* Alfred Schrödinger from ''VideoGame/{{Wild ARMs 3}}'' uses explosives both in and out of battle.
* Ray in ''VideoGame/CallOfJuarezBoundInBlood'' can throw dynamite sticks (Thomas can't).
* In ''VideoGame/TimeSplittersFuturePerfect'', enemies can only carry one weapon at a time and grenades are treated as a specific weapon (compared to ''VideoGame/TimeSplitters2'', which had some weapons with underslung launchers and various mines[[note]]Which were essentially {{Sticky Bomb}}s that came in timed, remote control and mine varieties.[[/note]] but otherwise lacked them, probably because explosions were [[GameBreaker always an instant kill]]). Meaning any equipped with grenades will only use grenades. This is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in story mode;
-->'''Mook Officer:''' Grenadiers; [[CaptainObvious Use your grenades!]]
* Everyone in ''VideoGame/TeamFortressClassic'' has some sort of grenade tailored to their class, and gameplay styles were generated from using them. In ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', only the Demoman lobs grenades around, and they never throw them.
* Multiple characters in ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}'', including the eponymous character, as one might guess from the title.

* ''VideoGame/XCom'' soldiers can specialize in grenades, but the game's limit on items that can be carried to the battlefield makes it rather impractical. Aliens make very powerful grenades and sometimes carry no other weapons.
** ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown'' makes this more difficult to pull off, as you're initially limited to one grenade, though in the core game you can equip two (same or different, doesn't matter) on a Support with Deep Pockets, and a Heavy with Grenadier gives them two uses of an equipped grenade and makes them a bit more powerful (by 1 point). However, the ''Enemy Within'' ExpansionPack added the "Tactical Rigging" Foundry upgrade, that gives the base game's Deep Pockets to ''everyone'', and Deep Pockets was re-tooled to give items one extra use, which includes grenades. What's more, if you have the "Training Roulette" Second Wave option enabled, a soldier can get both Deep Pockets and Grenadier. That equals ''six'' grenades that, if Frag or Needle, can one-shot Thin Men in Classic difficulty or below, and if Alien, each hurt like a Heavy's regular launcher's rockets but don't need both action points to use and don't have a 10% chance to miss the targeted location[[note]]though they suffer from a shorter launch range[[/note]].
** The ''Long War'' mod for ''Enemy Unknown'' brings this UpToEleven with the [[TheEngineer Engineer]] class, descended from the Support. With proper upgrades, they can carry 9 grenades of any kind (3 per slot), 2 free smoke grenades, 3 free battle scanners, and throw all of them 70% further. Alternatively, they can trade 50% (additive) of the extra throwing distance for a [[StuffBlowingUp rocket launcher]] or the homing Blaster Launcher, allowing them to pack even more explosives. [[NintendoHard And it's quite possible]] for missions to give ample cause to use up ''all'' of those.
** Grenadiers in ''Videogame/XCOM2'' can get the Salvo skill. This means that launching a grenade (or using whatever weapon's mounted on the heavy armor they're wearing) doesn't end the turn, so they can do it and then do something else, including sending another grenade down range.
* ''VideoGame/{{Bug}}'':
** The first boss, a snail... which grew a helicopter out of its shell, flew, and started dropping increasingly deadly bombs all over the arena.
** The second world had ''literal'' army ants that shot out grenades from their tails. At one point you have to fight a miniboss version of them that had a hard-to-avoid GrenadeSpam attack.
* ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soulcalibur III]]'' has the [[KnifeNut Dagger]] Create-a-Character style use a small bomb in several of its moves. It is used officially by the MagnificentBastard Chester from the AlternateContinuity mode ''Chronicles of the Sword''.
* [[{{Heel}} Rip Saber]] from ''[[VideoGame/SaturdayNightSlamMasters Slam Masters II]]'', who uses hand grenades against his fellow wrestler rivals.

* From ''VideoGame/PanzerBandit'', playable character [[GunsAkimbo Ein]] can throw bombs two-at-a-time or roll a single one towards his target. His MirrorBoss Tsuvai can only throw two bombs in a close mortar-like angle. BigBad Dr. Farado has a SpiderTank whose best move is to ''vomit'' a dozen bombs into the enemy.
* The Thief AssistCharacter from ''VideoGame/MagicSword'' throws bombs at a high angle, making him somewhat effective against airborne threats.
* ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'' has both the Ricochet (a big spherical black bomb that sends enemies flying when hit) and Remote (more straightforward remote-controlled bomb) pickups introduced in the second game.

* Suminagashi from ''VideoGame/BushidoBlade 2'' uses three small bombs as his subweapon.
* The Napalm Bomber from UsefulNotes/GameBoy's ''VideoGame/KungFuMaster'' uses incendiary rounds as his gimmick.

* ''Franchise/MegaMan''
** From the ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' series there are several Robot Masters, like Bomb Man (''[[VideoGame/MegaMan1 1]]''), Crash Man (''[[VideoGame/MegaMan2 2]]''), Napalm Man (''[[VideoGame/MegaMan5 5]]''), Burst Man (''[[VideoGame/MegaMan7 7]]''), Grenade Man (''[[VideoGame/MegaMan8 8]]''), Commando Man (''[[VideoGame/MegaMan10 10]]''), and Blast Man (''[[VideoGame/MegaMan11 11]]'').
** There are tons of different explosives that can be utilized in the ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' series, including grenades, mines, {{time bomb}}s, {{cartoon bomb}}s and more. Some e-Reader cards [[DummiedOut (Which were regrettably removed in the US versions)]] even allowed Mega Man to replace his standard charged shot with one of the aforementioned explosives.
* Doctrine Dark from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterEX'' is themed around using bombs in several ways. And [[RazorFloss wire. Lots of wire]]. He shares his weapon choice with fellow mercenary Rolento from ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' and ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha''. Rolento though adds a tonfa and uses a very fast, acrobatic style. Ibuki gains this ability with her V-Trigger in V, ironically she is also associated with Rolento through her team with him in ''SFXT''.
* One of the [[DualBoss twin]] Smith Bros. in ''VideoGame/SunsetRiders'' is this, chucking bombs at you while the other [[PyroManiac does the same with candles to try to set you on fire]].
* The Engineer profession in ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'' can equip a backpack full of assorted types of grenades, throwing between two and six with every use.
* The Knight class in ''VideoGame/KingArthursGold'' can carry up to three bombs, which explode in VideoGame/{{Bomberman}} fashion and destroy both blocks and enemy units. Interestingly, the thrower can be hit by the explosion (to facilitate [[RocketJump bomb-jumping]]) but not other teammates.
* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has Ziggs, the Hexplosives Expert. He fits this trope to a T - he carries such a huge amount of [[CartoonBomb bombs]] that, being a yordle, a member of a teensy furry race, he is more bomb than animal (by mass). He throws them as his basic attack and two of his abilities, one of which produces a whole cluster of them. His ability repertoire is closed by a remotely detonate-able satchel charge and a [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Mega Inferno Bomb,]] which is powerful enough to produce a mushroom cloud.
* In ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', one can encounter the Powder Gangers, a gang of escaped convicts who favor dynamite and are not afraid to throw it around liberally and in large quantities. Then there's the Boomers, who go from merely favoring bombing everything that opposes them to building a sort of cult of explosives. And it is totally possible to create an explosives expert, throwing dynamite and grenades, then moving to grenade launchers and even a Fat Man (portable miniature nuke launcher), with the added benefit of being able to plant/disarm mines more effectively.
** The ''Gun Runners Arsenal'' {{DLC}} includes the aptly-named "Mad Bomber" perk which unlocks more recipes for homemade explosives, culminating in the Fat Mine, a Fat Man mini-nuke retrofitted into a proximity mine.
* In ''Chack'n Pop'', Chack'n (who happens to be a cutesy WaddlingHead) attacks by tossing smoke bombs to either side.
