* In ''WesternAnimation/ProjectGeeKeR'', G.K.R. was created to be the ultimate corporate warrior with complete mastery over his own molecular structure. He can also control other matter the same way. He was stolen by Lady Macbeth and Noah before his loyalty program could be installed. Since the loyalty program also contained the intelligence, G.K.R. becomes "Geeker", a CloudcuckooLander who has little to no control over his own powers or himself. A robotic duplicate created later that shared the same powers [[spoiler:and a BadFuture where the BigBad has his mind transferred into G.K.R.'s body]] shows just how unstoppable G.K.R. really is.

WesternAnimation examples of MindOverMatter.

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals'', Howie gets a remote control stuck to his head. He gains telekinetic powers after it gets wet while he tries to remove it.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', most bending is controlled by physical actions. Only a handful of benders have surpassed this limitation:
** King Bumi can bend the earth from a distance with his ''face''.
** "Combustion" Man wields an unusual form of Firebending that projects explosive blasts from the third eye tattoo on his forehead.
** Yakone and his sons [[spoiler:Amon/Noatak and Tarrlok]] can do this with Bloodbending since they have a natural talent for it. They can twist an entire roomful of people into pretzels without even lifting a finger.
** Ming-Hua is missing her arms, but this handicap doesn't stop her from being a potent Waterbender. She simply psychically bends water to fashion replacement limbs.
** Ming'Hua's comrade P'Li is even better at Combustion-bending than the original Combustion Man, being able to curve her shots around cover.
* Used in its original meaning in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', when a villain turns out to be nigh-invulnerable purely by ''convincing himself that he is''. Apparently, all you need when you're falling from a high-rise is to imagine that you can't get hurt, and you'll be fine. Bruce utters this trope's title.
** PsychicPowers are involved as well as NinetyPercentOfYourBrain.
* Yumi of ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' can perform telekinesis while in the virtual world of Lyoko, most often using it offensively to crush XANA's monsters under boulders. She can also use it to levitate her teammates on occasion.
** In the short pilot "Garage Kids", unlike in the main series, Yumi can use this power while in the real world.
* [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Danny]] used this power to hand [[HarmlessVillain The Box Ghost]] a broom after he got ahold of PandorasBox.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Stewie after [[ILoveNuclearPower being exposed to nuclear waste]].
* The ComicBook/MartianManhunter was depicted with telekinesis being among his powers on ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' and ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' (the latter also giving it to Miss Martian).
* Unicorns in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' are all magically gifted, which is usually portrayed as some form of telekinesis. This really comes in handy in their daily lives, since it allows them to easily do things like reading books, carrying small objects etc. despite their lack of fingered hands. Twilight Sparkle, however, specializes in magic and is thus extremely powerful (e.g. plucking all apples from tens of trees at once, then neatly putting them in baskets). The only other unicorn we've seen with anywhere near her level of power is Trixie, [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter and even she pales in comparison.]]
** Actually [[SmallNameBigEgo Trixie]] never does anything all that impressive, least of all with her telekenesis, as she really only handles her hat and a rope using it. [[ActionFashionista Rarity]], on the other hand, has demonstrated rather impressive telekenesis on a couple occasions. In one episode, she levitated roughly a dozen mannequins at once, and in another, she summons a couch from her house for the sole purpose of [[DramaQueen fainting melodramatically onto it because she realized she forgot to bring plates on their picnic.]]
** To some extent they can create objects from nothing, as seen when Trixie conjures up flowers during her show. Sure, they might not be real (she performs ''tricks'' after all), but the freaking '''storm cloud''' she uses to embarrass Rainbow Dash certainly was.
*** This is backed up in the Winter Wrap Up episode, where Twilight mentions that the Unicorns in Canterlot use their magic to change the weather(or at least the seasons).
** Twilight's telekinesis is also capable of handling extreme loads [[spoiler:such as rebuilding a dam after it has burst, or levitating a full water-tower, and possibly the Ursa (depending on just how heavy a bear literally ''made of the sky'' really is).]]
** Starlight Glimmer is skilled enough with telekinesis for her to [[NotQuiteFlight levitate herself]] with similar finesse to Pegasus flight.
* In ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'', Pinky once makes some paperclips fly in the air. When an astonished Brain asks about it, Pinky just casually says "Comes and goes."
* In the 1973/74 ''WesternAnimation/SuperFriends'' episode "The Balloon People", the title characters have modest telekinetic power. When acting together, they can move a doghouse.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo'' this is one of the many supernatural powers [[BigBad Skeleton King]] possesses. Chiro learns this the hard way in their first fight when Skeleton King telekinetically tosses him around his throne room.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'':
** April O'Neil exhibits a slew of PsychicPowers because [[spoiler:her bloodline was experimented on by the Kraang, making her a half-human, half-kraang mutant]]. At first it begins with telepathic intuition, but she eventually learns how to telekinetically manipulate matter which she incorporates into her ninjitsu training.
** Dr. Rockwell, due to experimentation by his former partner Dr. Victor Falco, was turned into a mutant-monkey with psychic powers. After he regains his sentience, he develops psychokinetic powers.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', Comicbook/DoomPatrol leader Mento has this, and it seems to also be part of the standard package for the SuperpowerLottery winners, among which we have most prominently [[DarkMagicalGirl Raven]], [[SinisterMinister Brother Blood]] and even -- on one occasion never mentioned again -- [[BigBad Slade]].
* Used in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', where the school of Cyber-Ninjutsu that Prowl and Jazz practice features mastery of "processor over matter" as its ultimate technique. It's used by mechanical beings.
* In ''WesternAnimation/WandaAndTheAlien'', telekinesis is Alien's main speciality.
* ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'': Major Threat has a ton of psychic powers, such as telekinesis, brainwashing, and forcefields.
* ''WesternAnimation/WhatsWithAndy'': Discussed in "Scary Teri" when [[ThePrankster Andy]] tries to convince everybody that his BigSisterBully Jen's best friend Teri is telekinetic.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' Cornelia gains telekinesis as her power upgrade in season two. Will also has telekinesis as part of her power of [[ElementNumberFive Quintessence]] but it only applies to inanimate objects.
* In ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'', Jean is the most prominent user of this. At first, she's fairly limited, but after going through a power surge early in Season 2, during which her powers go out of control and she displays the ability to manipulate matter on a fundamental level, making her a borderline RealityWarper, she settles at a much stronger level than before.
** [[spoiler: Legion]] is even stronger than Jean.
