7	->''"So we will walk through the fire, And let it... burn! Let it burn! Let it burn! Let it burn!"''

10	Everything around someone explodes and catches on fire. NoOneCouldSurviveThat
11
12	Cue [[OminousLatinChanting Ominous Music]]...
13
14	Yes, yes they could, and they're slowly walking out, an UnflinchingWalk, because the fire doesn't bother them. We see their shadow first and only then do they emerge. This is your signal to run, run fast and run far. Frequently the end result of TheWorfBarrage. If they're more powerful for it, you face InfernalRetaliation. Related is when we "cut" to ''inside'' the flames, or show the flames die down, with the victim unharmed. Usually performed by TheJuggernaut or ImplacableMan.
15
16	A very old trope, to the point that "passing through the flames" and being unharmed/transformed is a classic metaphor. This trope is one level more badass than the SmokeShield.
17
18	[[VideoGame/GuitarHero Through the]] [[Music/DragonForce Fire and Flames]] has nothing to do with this trope, [[NintendoHard but could possibly be a cause of it]].
19
20	See also OutrunTheFireball, for the NotSoStoic version, BigDamnFireExit for badass sequences in media where a sizeable chunk of the cast engage in this trope, and BattleAmongstTheFlames, where you pass through the flames while fighting the final boss. Not to be confused with OutOfTheFryingPan; That's a more metaphorical trope than this.

25	[[foldercontrol]]
26
27	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
28	* Tetsuo Shima from ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' has a big scene where he faces down some tanks after doing this.
29	* Last episode of the ''Manga/AngelicLayer'' anime, Hikaru pulls this off, to everybody's joy.
30	* Sho Shinjo from the OVA of ''VideoGame/BattleArenaToshinden'' does this, after performing a melee attack against an attack helicopter, causing it to explode around him, the burning wreckage of which he emerges from.
31	* Guts does this in the Lost Children Chapter of ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' while fighting the moth-like Apostle Rosine, and is just part of several scenes during that fight when he, a flesh-and-blood human (save for his artificial arm), is far more terrifying than the demon he seeks to kill. And he survives at least one of those fiery encounters by gutting the cocoons above him that held [[spoiler: the abducted children the Apostle was turning into pseudo-elf Apostle spawns]] and letting the fluid that was suspending the half-creature inside drench him. Plenty of {{Squick}} moments in that Chapter.
32	* In ''Manga/BlackBloodBrothers'', when Zelman (a pyrokinetic) confronts [[spoiler:some members of Kabun who'd been turned into Kowloon Children]], he steps calmly out of a wall of flames, completely untouched, while his enemies are left writhing and screaming in pain behind him.
33	* Rock from ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' specifically mentions Roberta, who just blew up the bar he and the others were in, is probably going to do this [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} and complains that they don't have Arnold Schwarzenegger to help them.]] They get out of there before she does, and the [[ShoutOut blatant references to the movie]] continue throughout the episode.
34	* In ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'', Touma pulls this against [[PlayingWithFire Stiyl Magnus]]. Later, Accelerator terrifies Itsuwa by causally walking through flames.
35	* In a late episode of ''Anime/CodeGeass R2'', Lelouch walks out of the flames caused by his mind-controlled puppets' attacks as part of a scene that quickly became another notch on his awesome-moments belt.
36	** Much earlier in the series, Cornelia's first appearance saw her Gloucester walking out of the flames of the Middle Eastern base she and her men just flattened.
37	* In the ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' episode "[[Recap/CowboyBebopSession6SympathyForTheDevil Sympathy for the Devil]]", Wen does this after Spike makes him crash into a gas station that blows up as a result.
38	* In ''Manga/DGrayMan'' Arystar Krory does this after blowing his own castle before leaving to the order. Allen and Lavi think he killed himself by staying inside the explosion, until he appears from the flames, unfazed.
39	* ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' presents the first version of this in the Digimon Series, executed by Dukemon/Gallantmon in episode 36. "The inferno" had been the collateral of an earlier attack of him. The scene is a mix of [[Manga/DragonBall Gohan SSJ 2]] and KnightInShiningArmor that moves like a HumongousMecha with a BadassCape that puts out the fire. Yes, that awesome.
40	** In ''Anime/DigimonDataSquad'', [[spoiler:[=ShineGreymon=] Burst Mode fights Belphemon/Kurata in the city. After easily dodging all of Belphemon/Kurata's attacks and causing great pain to them with his flame swords, [=ShineGreymon=] Burst Mode lights the whole street on fire and combines this with a [[TheSlowWalk slow walk]] toward Kurata and one of the most absolute hate-filled {{Death Glare}}s in anime history, all to incite incredible fear in the horribly evil MadScientist before finally finishing him off.]]
41	* Most of the villains of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' have done this at least once, but Cell in particular seems pretty fond of it. The squishy sound his feet make as he walks inspires terror in all but the stoutest and most glow-y Super Saiyan!
42	* In the ''Anime/ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld'' manga, there're two more Demon God androids than in the anime; the side characters come up with a plan for dealing with one that involves a concentrated attack to hit one of them (Jinnistacia) right before she fires her main attack; theoretically lowering shields to do so. The result was a tremendous explosion; [[http://www.bladeandepsilon.com/ifujinpics.htm which she walks out of,]] all it did was destroy her hat.
43	* The title character from ''Anime/ErgoProxy'' invokes this once. The point of the scene is apparently to illustrate just how tough he is, especially the part where he ''steps in a pool of burning fuel barefoot without [[FeelNoPain feeling it]]''.
44	* ''Anime/ExcelSaga'': Some crooks kidnapped Hyatt. When she performed her daily "no breathing, no heartbeat" routine, they tried to cremate her. While the fire was still raging, she walked out, completely unharmed. Even her clothing survived :(
45	* One ''Manga/FairyTail'' OVA opening starts with Team Natsu, Wendy, and Charle walking/flying through flames.
46	** Natsu kinda does this, except for the "walking out" portion. He eats the fire.
47	** [[GreaterScopeVillain Black Mage Zeref]] is introduced via flashback in the anime where he walks out of a blazing, destroyed city.
48	* In the second season of ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'', when Anies is attacked by a fire mage, she is engulfed in a fireball. The bad guy thinks he's won and is set to go on his merry way. However, Anies jumps out of the flames, the only thing missing being her cape, and proceeds to run that mage through with her sword.
49	* In ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'', Kenshiro is apparently able to remain completely unscathed, despite having fallen several foot into a pile of rubble, from a roof that he punched in because it had been set on fire, and then being hit repeatedly in the face with a huge stone column. This occurs mere seconds before he makes his shirt explode. Naturally.
50	* In ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist'', Roy Mustang has more than a couple scenes where he walks out of a cloud of fire or [[SmokeShield smoke]].
51	* In ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003'' anime, [[spoiler:Pride]] pulls this against Mustang. He even lets slip he let Mustang incinerate him on purpose since he's never had a chance to test his HealingFactor before this.
52	* Mayu of ''Literature/GoodLuckNinomiyaKun'' gets a similar scene after she sets off nearly every trap and then some on an island, also being called a devil. Though in this case, it was by the soldiers she was sending flying.
53	* ''Bio Booster Armor Manga/{{Guyver}}'' has this happen to Sho [[spoiler: after the battle with Enzyme II]]. A zoanoid throws a car containing an unconscious Sho into a light pole, who awakens in time to bioboost and walk out of the flames. [[spoiler: His Guyver automatically de-equips shortly afterward as a result of his psychological trauma over having [[HeroicBSOD killed Enzyme II, who was really his father turned into a zoanoid.]]]]
54	* Alucard in the manga and OVA continuities of ''Anime/{{Hellsing}}'', after he causes the plane he's flying in to nose-dive directly into the deck of a warship addition to showing off just how ridiculously badass he is, just of crashing the plane is enough to kill several of the vampire soldiers on board.
55	* In ''Anime/IGPXImmortalGrandPrix'', The Rocket crashes his mech in a flashback. He is then shown walking away from the burning mech like a badass.
56	* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
57	** All seven (so far) [=JoJos=] have [[NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow survived injuries that should have killed them]] including losing hands, getting blown into near-space from a VOLCANO, getting stabbed in the lungs by wooden stakes, being shot in the back and left for dead, and having knives thrown at one of them by a time-stopping vampire that threw them in a way that seemed like they were all thrown at the same time. And yet there is no real equal to Jotaro. [[spoiler:''He stopped time'']]. This actually justifies exchanging the iconic steamroller for an oil tanker in the OVA.
58	* One of the most iconic moments in the ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' franchise takes place near the end of ''[[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs A's]]'' when Vita attacks an untransformed Nanoha, causing part of the roof they're on to burst into flames. Nanoha then calmly walks out of the fire, completely unscathed and clad in her Barrier Jacket, leading Vita to [[YouMonster call her the devil]].
59	* ''Anime/{{Madlax}}'' does that in the first episode with an exploding tank.
60	* ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'' features several of these moments, like after the Deathscythe Hell (which wasn't even finished at the time) takes a barrage of gunfire and seemingly explodes, causing the enemies to lower their guns. Afterward it steps out calmly and destroys them all.
61	** Another memorable one occurs during the series's final episode: A quarter fragment of the stupidly-huge space battleship Libra is falling towards Earth. Heero in the Wing Zero flies out ahead of it and turns around before attempting to line up a shot at it; the atmospheric reentry is peeling the armor off of the Wing Zero when he takes the shot, and Libra explodes and the screen goes out. A few seconds later a reasonably intact Wing Zero, transformed into its "Neo-Bird" flight mode, flies forward out of the explosion to general applause. Its awesomeness is only slightly reduced by Duo shouting out "He made it!" just before Zero appears.
62	* Inverted by Johan of ''Manga/{{Monster}}''. After setting fire to the book donation ceremony, Johan calmly watches everyone scurry around like ants until Tenma finds him and pulls a handgun on him. He then [[DissonantSerenity calmly]] walks straight towards Tenma, past him, and into the sea of flames, a single finger on his forehead for Tenma to aim at. It's only when he's been completely obscured by smoke and flames that Tenma and Nina, who arrived while this was happening regain enough composure to shoot at him.
63	* [[PaperMaster Konan]] from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' does this in the [[AdaptationExpansion anime version]] of her fight with the Aburame clan. Apparently, she accomplishes this by saturating her body with water, so that despite being made from paper she's ''less'' flammable than a regular person.
64	* [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend Anya]] attempts to do this in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' when she reappears before Negi. She does pretty well, too, until she caps it off with a dramatic FlungClothing that ends up with her robe catching on fire. Then, when she tries to put it out, her hair catches on fire. Then, when she runs around in a panic, her skirt catches on fire. See, kids? This is why you shouldn't try this at home.
65	* Shinji's Unit 01 does a nice version in an earlier ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' episode. Its survival is slightly more understandable than most examples of this trope, since it is a HumongousMecha after all. The inferno, on the other hand, is ''[[TheTokyoFireball Tokyo]]''. Sometimes being [[TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse the center of the universe]] isn't such a great thing.
66	** The Angels really like doing this: Sachiel is hit with an [[FantasticNuke N2 bomb]] in the very first episode, which does do some damage and sets everything within a half-mile radius on fire, but it quickly regenerates and starts moving again, to everyone's horror. Zeruel also does it when Rei shoves an N2 bomb in its face, and an absolutely ''massive'' explosion engulfs them both... cut to Zeruel ''completely unharmed'', floating in the ash.
67	* ''Manga/OnePiece'' gives us several examples:
68	** Portgas D. Ace does this during his confrontation with Blackbeard. {{Justified\|Trope}}, since, well, [[PlayingWithFire he controls flames.]]
69	** At the end of the Little Garden arc, Nami, Vivi, and Zoro pull this off to take Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, having been trapped on a wax construct for the past few episode that could only be destroyed when Ussop enveloped it in a massive inferno. Zoro combines this with InfernalRetaliation.
70	** In a flashback, Rob Lucci is bombarded with cannonfire by pirates, and responds by [[FingerPokeOfDoom turning their captain into swiss cheese.]]
71	* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
72	** ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'' has a variation with Ash in the final confrontation with Mewtwo, emerging through a cloud of smoke accompanied by about 25 Pokémon.
73	** Ash has another moment in [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries the TV series]] when he walks out of the burning Celadon Gym with Erika's Gloom in his arms.
74	** Inverted in ''Anime/PokemonTheMastermindOfMiragePokemon''. The BigBad, having just had his most powerful Pokémon (a Mirage Mewtwo) defeated, turns around and walks into his burning castle.
75	** In the ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' manga, Magma Admin [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Courtney/Marge]] of the Three Fires does this after Ruby attempts to [[HoistByHisOwnPetard hoist her by her own petard]] by dropping her right into her out-of-control flames, only for her to calmly emerge from the inferno with some burns and [[ClothingDamage charred clothing]] after Ruby completes his escape.
76	* Walpugisnacht does this on ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', after Homura launches one hell of a WorfBarrage.
77	* Sort of parodied at the end of the "Cinderella" storyline in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''. Ranko-chan destroys the rock that was blocking the hot spring and disappears in the cloud of rock debris, dust, and steam. Then, Ranma in the male form emerges from the steam. He was trying to leave unnoticed.
78	* Lady Kayura of ''Anime/RoninWarriors'' (Yoroiden Samurai Troopers) does this a couple of times against Ryo of Wildfire.
79	* Himura Kenshin, the legendary Hitokiri Battōsai (人斬り抜刀斎), is introduced in the first episode of ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' handing out a can of whoop-ass to enemy swordsmen in a raging battlefield with fire.
80	* Phoenix Ikki of the ''Manga/SaintSeiya'' anime, has his resurrection scene with the fire that was burning a forest and his brother, he appears out of the fire carrying his brother and extinguishes all the fire with his cosmos. Not surprising given his control over fire, and him generally being a badass.
81	* Played straight with Lina in the opening for season 1 of ''{{Literature/Slayers}}'' and with Duclis in season 4, but subverted with [[spoiler: Phibbrizo]]. He staggers out with large pieces of his body missing and disintegrates one step in front of the heroes.
82	* Ryoko does this in the opening episode of ''Anime/TenchiMuyo''. Her next line is, "Hey! That's no way to treat a lady!"
83	* Kittan from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' flies the King Kittan through the explosion that destroyed his Space Gunmen as a prelude to [[spoiler: his HeroicSacrifice]].
84	** Guame's Dai-Gundo emerging unscathed after having another Dai-Ganmen (which was on fire at the time) drop onto and explode in a massive mushroom cloud. And the thing is GRINNING the whole time with a creepy frozen box for a face.
85	* ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'':
86	** During the final match of the Dark Tournament between Yusuke and Toguro. Yusuke unleashes a Spirit Gun roughly 20 times larger and stronger than any other to that point. He hits Toguro with that blast, dead-on at point-blank range, the energy smashing a path through the stadium and hundreds of yards beyond. The area around Toguro's body is engulfed with flames, and it looks like he's done; as Kuwabara proclaims, "No one could have survived that!" We then see Toguro slowly get up and calmly walks back into the arena; aside from his busted shades, he suffered no damage. And when he returns, what does he say to the stunned Yusuke? "Is that all you got for me? I expected more from Genkai."
87	** Yusuke and Yomi both do this after Yusuke shoots an oversized Spirit Gun that explodes and sets the immediate area on fire.
88	* Occurs in ''Manga/ZatchBell'' when a bookkeeper uses a flame spell, and Folgore emerges...though not ''completely'' unscathed: it burned his pants seat, showing his bare ass.
89	* ''Anime/ZoidsChaoticCentury'' has Raven in his Zaber Fang striding out of the flaming ruin of a Republic base on Mt. Osa to battle Van during Prozen's invasion. This scene is shown in the opening theme of the anime.
90	[[/folder]]
91
92	[[folder:Comic Books]]
93	* ''ComicBook/AstroCity'': Played straight in "The Tarnished Angel" storyline.
94	* ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'': Machinesmith has his robot helpers take out the Secret Service in Camp David, steal the nuclear "football" and use his powers to take the launch codes out of the mind of the President. He gloats that he just needs to start WWIII and kick off "the age of the machines." Suddenly, a figure is shown marching through the flames of a downed helicopter, a shield in one hand, and Machinesmith's jaw drops open. Captain America is here and Machinesmith knows he's screwed.
95	* In the ComicBook/{{Daken}}[=/=]ComicBook/{{X 23}} crossover is the pair standing through an explosion, and subsequently strolling out of the flaming wreckage of Malcolm Colcord's lab.
96	* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'': The Hulk does this. A lot.
97	* Varied in ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'', where the [[ImplacableMan Saint of Killers]] takes a direct hit from a nuclear bomb that, we are later told, killed 800 people in the surrounding area almost immediately. Some scenes with the other characters later, cut to the Saint ''inside'' the inferno with still-spotless clothes. "Not enough gun."
98	* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': In ''ComicBook/NothingCanStopTheJuggernaut'', Spider-Man throws a fuel tanker right into the Juggernaut, causing a massive explosion. Spider-Man is actually concerned that he killed the Juggernaut until [[OhCrap ...]]
99	* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'':
100	** From ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' there's the scene where in the aftermath of the detonation of a horrendously powerful nuclear weapon when the smoke clears Superman is shown to be alive and virtually unharmed. His fellow heroes aren't so fortunate.
101	** ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'': Superman has just had a close encounter with a nuke and been slapped down hard in the middle of the desert. He blasts his way out of the puddle of radioactive glass but is seriously short of Yellow Sun power and is cut off from the source by an immense cloud of sand and a violent magnetic storm, which he doesn't have enough flight to get clear of. [[spoiler: He survives only by sucking up a load of stored solar energy from several square miles of jungle, leaving him in a bad way but able to flee the conflagration.]]
102	** In ''ComicBook/{{Crucible}}'', ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and ComicBook/{{Superboy}} stand behind in the BigBad's laboratory to destroy all Superboy's clones, aware that it will trigger a self-destruction fail-safe, as their friends evacuate the place. Both heroes' allies watch the space station blowing up from a safe location, wondering whether their friends have survived, when Kara and Kon fly out of the massive conflagration, unharmed.
103	* A scene from [[ComicBook/TheTransformersMegaseries Transformers Spotlight: Shockwave]] has the title character doing this, after a savage beat-down from the Dinobots has forced the normally emotionless scientist to become ''angry''. A quick CurbStompBattle ensues.
104	[[/folder]]
105
106	[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
107	* Jafar from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' does this in an ominous way when Aladdin calls him a snake during the final battle. Jafar is fazed by neither the fire nor Aladdin's comment, calmly replying, "A snake, am I? Perhaps you'd like to see how (hisses with snake tongue and changes his voice) sssss-snake-like I can be!" Cue Jafar getting ScaledUp with his OneWingedAngel snake incarnation.
108	* Batman does it in the "Crossfire" episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanGothamKnight''.
109	* ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragonTheHiddenWorld'' has Hiccup developing fireproof armor, which lets him and Toothless do this when they set fire to an enemy ship.
110	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'': Tighten gets a ''chilling'' UnflinchingWalk out of the flames of Megamind's destroyed [[HumongousMecha battle suit]]. It's the point in the film where you realize [[FromNobodyToNightmare he's no longer the childish goof he started out as]].
111	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'': [[spoiler:The Koopa General does this after his giant kart is destroyed by Mario and Donkey Kong while on Rainbow Road. He's already been acting unhinged but this is the point where he fully decides it's personal and unleashes his own personal attack: [[VideoGame/MarioKart the Blue Shell attack]].]]
112	[[/folder]]
113
114	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
115	* In the opening of ''Film/BabylonAD'', Aurora is seen in a fireball reflected in the protagonist's eye.
116	* Shows up in ''Film/BatmanForever'', after Two-Face blows up a gas main right on top of Bats.
117	* In ''Film/TheBatman2022'' as the Penguin is fleeing the Batmobile on a crowded freeway, he gleefully gloats after the Batmobile was swallowed up in a fiery tanker-truck explosion, [[OhCrap only to look in his rearview mirror and see it shooting out of the flames, and hurtling directly towards him.]]
118	* In ''Film/BattleRoyale'', [[spoiler:as Mimura and friends are killed by Kiriyama, Mimura ends the battle by blowing up a massive propane tank bomb. The three heroes arrive on the scene, and it looks like everyone's dead...but then Kiriyama emerges out of the inferno, blinded, with TearsOfBlood running down his face]].
119	* In the movie version of ''Film/{{Casshern}}'', the robot army incinerates a building. This prompts Casshern's badass walk right out of the building, girlfriend in his arms, and is the beginning of the single biggest robot ass kicking in the movie.
120	* After being caught inside an exploding gas station, the titular evil car in ''Film/{{Christine}}'' proceeds to drive out ablaze and continue to chase down a victim.
121	* Davey's father Hal in ''Film/CloakAndDagger1984'' does this out of a plane wreckage.
122	* The giant jumping spiders from ''Film/EightLeggedFreaks'' do this somehow.
123	* ''Film/EndOfDays'': The Devil blows up a crowded restaurant in his first scene for kicks. The blast engulfs him as he walks out the door, but he then appears out of the flames with his human vessel completely unharmed.
124	* Towards the end of the opening premonition in ''Film/FinalDestination2'', the last girl due to die in the multi-car pileup is pinned in the wreckage of her car while a tractor trailer barrels through the wall of fire caused by the rest of mayhem, bearing down on her like the wrath of God.
125	* Played with in ''Flesh + Blood'': the castle is on fire and hero's party is getting out when the antihero/villain wanders in from another direction, bloody and rather pissed. Then ''he'' has to jump back in a hurry as part of the roof collapses. He's later seen crawling out of the chimney, very scorched and ''extremely'' pissed.
126	* A semi-common trope in the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' films. Godzilla himself has emerged from explosions caused by the military and Mechagodzilla's massive barrages, and twice from inside erupting volcanoes. Destoroyah's Perfect Form was revealed as a massive explosion heralding it died down.
127	* In ''Film/HalloweenII1981'', [[ImplacableMan Michael Myers]] does this after being caught in an explosion at the film's climax. He collapses moments later, [[NotQuiteDead supposedly dead]].
128	* The Creator/JohnWoo movie ''Film/HardBoiled'' has a big one of these near the end of the movie by [[spoiler:the BigBad Johnny Wong after the hospital is blown straight to hell]]. And to make matters even worse, [[spoiler:he's [[PutDownYourGunAndStepAway taken Tequila's partner Alan hostage]]]].
129	* In ''Film/HeroicTrio'', the main characters blow up the BigBad, only for his bloodied skeleton to emerge from the flames, ready to continue the fight.
130	* Used in ''Film/HighlanderIITheQuickening'', when Connor [=MacLeod=] gets hit by a fuel truck. Fortunately, he's just regained both his youth and immortality, allowing him to stride out of the resulting fireball unharmed, dramatic music blaring, long coat blowing, sword clenched in his hand, Creator/ChristopherLambert doing his best "badass face" (okay, [[DullSurprise vacant stare]], but it is Christopher Lambert).
131	* Parodied in ''Film/HotShotsPartDeux'', when President Benson accidentally plunges into Saddam Hussein's massive roaring fireplace, and then steps out a few seconds later, scorched but unharmed. [[NoodleIncident His skin is made of asbestos, due to a "tanning parlor accident" in Dien Bien Phu]].
132	* ''Film/IAmNumberFour'': Number Six's intro has her doing an UnflinchingWalk, the explosion engulfs her, leading to her nonchalantly walking out of the fire protected by an energy shield.
133	* In ''Film/KamenRiderIchigo'', Takeshi Hongo does this when [[spoiler:he is revived from his temporary death, detonating his funeral pyre in the process]].
134	* ''Film/KongSkullIsland'': Packard and his men attempt to kill [[Characters/MonsterVerseKingKong King Kong]] by setting a body of water on fire with napalm. Kong writhes in agony amid the fire, and eventually his visage, and his screams, fade. Packard and his men think they've won... until Kong suddenly comes barreling out of the fire, and he proceeds to kill two of the people with Packard by dousing one in the ignited water and another by personally stomping him flat, before Kong collapses unconscious from his injuries.
135	* At the end of ''[[Film/LeftBehind2000 Left Behind: World at War]]'', TheAntichrist Nicolae Carpathia's headquarters are destroyed by a missile strike while he's inside [[spoiler:speaking with the U.S. President, [[HeroicSacrifice who has the missile's]] [[SuicideAttack homing transmitter in his pocket]]]]. The film closes with a shot of the flaming wreckage, out of which Carpathia emerges completely unscathed and [[{{Pun}} mad as Hell.]] (To be fair, [[spoiler:the President]] knew that Carpathia [[ProphecyArmor can't die]] until [[Literature/BookOfRevelation the midpoint of the Tribulation]]; the objective of the attack was to slow him down by destroying his base of operations.)
136	* The Balrog revealed in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing''.
137	* In ''Film/TheMaskOfZorro'', [[spoiler:all the imprisoned miners]] emerge from the smoke after one of the most intense explosions ever filmed blew everything around them to splinters.
138	* Leland Gaunt does this in the movie version (though not the original novel) of ''Film/NeedfulThings'', after Dan Keaton realizes that Gaunt made him a pawn just as much as he'd imagined the rest of the town had been doing to him, and blows up the entire Needful Things shop, with himself and Gaunt in it. Since Leland Gaunt is actually The Devil in disguise as a humble antique dealer, his immunity to fire is to be expected (indeed, it didn't surprise the protagonist at all).
139	* During the climax of ''Film/{{Rampage}}'', Davis Okoye distracts Lizzie from George by firing at her with a downed Apache Helicopter's machine gun. As she closes in, he then launches all of the copter's missiles and rockets into her face, creating a massive explosion and smoke cloud. A few seconds later Lizzie's roaring maw emerges from the smoke at him.
140	* Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger is good at this trope in general. In ''Film/RawDeal1986'' he plays an ex-FBI agent turned sheriff who fakes his own death before going undercover as a mob hitman. He drives his squad car into an oil refinery, opens a few valves then blows it up with a flare pistol. Cue shot of Arnie riding out of the flames on a motorcycle.
141	* A scorched Chuck Yeager in ''Film/TheRightStuff'' emerging from his own plane wreckage.
142	* ''Franchise/RoboCop'':
143	** ''Film/RoboCop1987'': Robo [[UnflinchingWalk calmly strides out of an exploding gas station]], with only a minor amount of surface soot on his [[DirtForcefield improbably shiny armor]], and shoots out the back tire of Emil's motorbike as he tries to flee the scene.
144	** ''Film/RoboCop2'': After his car has had two rockets shot at it, causing it to flip over and then shot up and blown up, [=RoboCop=] steps out of the destroyed police car, no worse for wear and ready to take out the criminals that did it.
145	* ''Film/TheRunningMan''. After Ben ignites a barrel of flammable material, Fireball just strolls through the flame.
146	* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
147	** ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'': The Millennium Falcon manages to make it out of the interior of the Death Star a split second after the explosion.
148	** [[spoiler: Luke Skywalker]] walks out of a massive red dust cloud completely unscathed in ''Film/TheLastJedi'' after getting [[MoreDakka more dakkaed]] by a bunch of First Order Walkers on Crait. Justified, since [[spoiler: [[AstralProjection he's not really there]]]].
149	* The ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' series is very fond of this one, and definitely popularized it. In fact, the whole series exists ''because'' of this trope: Creator/JamesCameron based the first film on a fever dream he once had, in which a robot skeleton strode out of an inferno after a fleeing woman. [[Film/TheTerminator The first Terminator]] was heavily damaged, unlike most of the others; the flames burned off his skin and clothes, revealing the metal skeleton underneath-"Like Death rendered in metal from the flames". Unfortunately for the heroes, a Terminator's artificial skin is purely for infiltration purposes. Burn that off and while it can no longer pass as human, it's still an [[ImplacableMan implacable]] KillerRobot. Aside from appearing in [[OnceAnEpisode every movie]], the final shot of the opening credits in ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' is a T-800, standing undamaged in the nuclear fire and staring at the viewers with [[RedEyesTakeWarning blood-red eyes]].
150	* In ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'', Sam successfully [[OutrunTheFireball Outruns the Fireball]], [[spoiler:but then Megatron emerges from the fireball and kills him. Megatron is then ''re-engulfed'' by the explosion, and Sam fortunately gets better]].
151	* ''Film/{{Twister}}'': Jo and Bill emerge from [[spoiler:an F5 tornado]] without so much as a scratch.
152	* Done with V (or is it?) in ''Film/VForVendetta'', utterly terrifying one of the few survivors.
153	[[/folder]]
154
155	[[folder:Literature]]
156	* ''Literature/{{Bolo}}'' has a lot of examples, including surviving a nuclear strike while the enemy thinks the tank is destroyed... only for the tank to emerged battered, but quite capable of killing the rest of the army the enemy has left (in some cases finally succumbing to the damage, with all of it's enemies either defeated or so badly beaten that they have to make a retreat), you can read the free to read [[http://www.baenebooks.com/chapters/1439133476/1439133476___2.htm Field Test]] short story to get a taste of it.
157	* Literature/{{Discworld}}:
158	** In ''Literature/ReaperMan'' Death (aka Bill Door) walks out of a burning house, a small girl in his arms, ''smouldering''.
159	** Played with in ''Literature/IShallWearMidnight'', where walking through flames serves as a plot point in defeating the big bad. [[ArcWords "The hare jumps into the fire..."]]
160	* Flame Trooper Brostin manages this in one ''Literature/GauntsGhosts'' novel, with the help of a large puddle of liquid fuel, a bottle of flame-retardant gel, a cigarette, and an acute case of pyromania. Notably, he refuses to get clear before blowing up himself and a whole bunch of bad guys despite knowing that the gel will ''probably'' save his life, but won't give him complete protection. He does it because he wants to look cool in front of his buddies. Oh, and because of the acute case of pyromania.
161	* ''Literature/GoodOmens'' has NobleDemon Crowley walking unscathed out of a burning bookstore, just after the firefighters have started saying things like 'Poor guy. Horrible way to die.' Not as good as when he stops the Bentley to ask a random passer-by for directions. Said passer-by spends most of the conversation wondering whether it's a good idea to point out that ''the car is on fire''.
162	* Lieutenant Harsmith leads a squad straight through a forest fire right into the enemy, in ''Literature/InvasionOfKzarch''.
163	* [[VillainProtagonist Bad Penny]] walks through fire twice when surrounded by Ifrit's wall of fire in the ''Please Don't Tell My Parents'' series.
164	** In ''Literature/PleaseDontTellMyParentsImASupervillain'', Ifrit surrounds Bad Penny with fire and then turns to debate with one of his allies. As Bad Penny was wearing a jumpsuit specifically designed to withstand high heat and work with fire, she charges out of the fire to hit Ifrit with one of her MadScience weapons.
165	** In ''Literature/PleaseDontTellMyParentsYouBelieveHer'', Ifrit uses his wall of fire to contain Bad Penny, but this time [[spoiler:her mind was transferred into a fireproof robot]], so she's even more immune to fire than the first time.
166	* Happens a few times in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'':
167	** At the end of the first volume, after her husband has died, Daenerys Targaryen places him and her three dragon eggs onto a funeral pyre, and, distraught, purposefully allows herself to be caught in the blaze. However, when the fire burns out, she is standing there unharmed (relatively speaking; all her hair has been singed off), and ''holding three baby dragons'' hatched from eggs previously assumed to be petrified.
168	---> [[ChekhovsGun "Fire could not kill a dragon."]]
169	** Davos's escape from the flames at the Battle of King's Landing--which involved swimming out of an inlet full of [[GreekFire wildfire]] and the wreckage of two fleets.
170	* ''Literature/TheWarGods'': During ''The War God's Own'', Bahzell destroys a temple to Sharna by having his allies spread as much flammables around as they can find, then channeling Tomanak's power to give it a boost. End result: flames billowing out of the temple's entrance engulfing Bahzell, who walks deliberately out of the fire unharmed.
171	* The Ophidian Guard from the ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' novel ''[[Literature/GreyKnights Hammer of Daemons]]'' can march through the flames created by their master's BreathWeapon thanks to their armour. From the first novel, the Knights themselves ran through burning fuel without stopping or being affected. A subversion of sorts occurs in ''[[Literature/HorusHeresy The Last Church]]'' when [[spoiler: Uriah]] walks ''into'' the inferno.
172	* [[ZombieApocalypse The zombies]] of ''Literature/WorldWarZ'' do this at the Battle of Yonkers after the US Army and Air Force hit them with every big weapon they have. Watching the zombies do this crushes the morale of the soldiers watching.
173	-->I found myself staring into this cloud of black smoke where the horde had been. I vaguely remember other guys getting out of their holes, hatches opening on tanks and Bradleys, everyone just staring into the darkness. There was a quiet, a stillness that in my mind, lasted for hours. And then they came, right out of the smoke like a freakin' little kid's nightmare! Some were steaming, some were still burning... some were walking, some were crawling, some just dragging themselves along on their torn bellies... maybe one in twenty were still able to move, which left... shit... a couple thousand? And behind them mixing with their ranks and steadily pushing toward us, the remaining million the air strike hadn't even touched! And that was when the line collapsed.
174	* There's a point in ''[[Literature/XWingSeries Solo Command]]'' where the Wraiths are lured into a trap and dumped into an incinerator. They use [[StuffBlowingUp explosives]] to create a hole. The Force-Sensitive member gets out with all the unscathed coolness that this trope calls for; the others, not so much. They are burned/on fire and not remotely dignified. Still, their furious determination as soon as everyone is present and accounted for fits the trope very well.
175	[[/folder]]
176
177	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
178	* ''Series/The100'': How Bellamy managed to get blasted out of an air vent by a fiery explosion, not only without injury, but with his clothes intact, is never explained.
179	* In addition to the scene from [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire its source material]], where Daenerys walks into her husband's raging funeral pyre and emerges the next morning completely unharmed with her three baby dragons after the flames have burned down in ashes and embers, ''Series/GameOfThrones'' also gives us a scene where [[spoiler:Daenerys locks the assembled khals of the Dothraki in a holy building in Vaes Dothrak, then [[KillItWithFire sets the whole thing on fire]]. Due to her Targaryen ancestry, she emerges with only her clothes burnt off, with all the khals dead. [[AssholeVictim No one's mourning them]]]].
180	* The [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaigers]] frequently invoke TransformationIsAFreeAction to protect themselves from incoming attack, leading to this. However, the most epic version is when Gokai Gallon falls under heavy fire and is engulfed in a massive explosion. Cue a completely transformed [[HumongousMecha Gokai-Oh]] charging straight out of the flames and ready to kick some tail.
181	* ''Series/GoodOmens'' has Crowley walk (physically) unscathed out of the flaming ruins of Aziraphale's bookshop [[HoYay to the accompaniment of Queen's "Somebody to Love"]].
182	* An interesting variation from the first season of ''Series/{{Heroes}}'': Claire stepped from the gutted remains of her home (after sedating Ted before he went critical and took out the neighborhood) covered in third-to-fourth-degree-burns, but by the time she made it into her father's arms halfway across the lawn she [[HealingFactor merely needed a shower and some clothes]].
183	* Series/{{Lucifer}} walks right out of a blown-up and burning building in season 4 episode 2, without so much as a scratch on him and with his suit intact. Then again, the guy ''is'' the King of Hell.
184	* Turns up in, of all places, ''Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon'', when [[spoiler: Usagi/Sailor Moon]] is knocked into an explosion, and emerges from the resulting wall of fire as [[spoiler: Princess Serenity]]. Since she's both a PersonOfMassDestruction and a SuperpoweredEvilSide, things start blowing up very quickly.
185	* Similar to the opening of ''Film/RoboCop2'', [=RoboCop=] again walks out of the wreckage of a destroyed police car with no damage in the opening of the PilotMovie for ''Series/RoboCopTheSeries'' after "Pudface" Morgan shoots a rocket directly at the car and blows it up.
186	* In the ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' episode "Hothead," [[PlayingWithFire Coach Walt Arnold]] engulfs Clark Kent in massive flames and thinks he's won, only for Clark to nonchalantly step out of them.
187	* One Kull Warrior did this in ''Series/StargateSG1''. Since they are [[NighInvulnerability Nigh Invulnerable]], it didn't bother that one too much.
188	* In ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'', after CorruptCorporateExecutive and [[spoiler:shape-shifting Terminator]] Catherine Weaver kills all of the personnel at the secret warehouse in the desert, she blows it up while [[UnflinchingWalk calmly walking away]], and gets engulfed by the resulting fireball. Naturally, she walks out of the fireball without any damage.
189	* Parodied in the promo for ''Series/TheWrongMans'', which shows Sam and Phil strolling out of a burning building, complete with slow-mo, explosions, and dramatic music... all of which peters out as Sam realises he's left his phone behind, and the promo ends with them running back ''into'' the inferno to retrieve it.
190	[[/folder]]
191
192	[[folder:Music]]
193	* [[{{Mascot}} The Guy]] on the cover art of Music/{{Disturbed}}'s ''Indestructible'' album walks out of raging flames.
194	* [[Music/{{Dragonforce}} Through the Fire and the Flames]] includes this trope. Nothing needs to be said about its awesomeness.
195	* Super Steve by Machinae Supremacy. The fire it knows me and/ I can through the blaze without a mark.
196	* The end of the video for "''Lowlife''" by Theory of a Deadman.
197	[[/folder]]
198
199	[[folder:Religion]]
200	* From Literature/TheBible (Literature/BookOfDaniel, chapter 3) we have Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three of Daniel's friends, who refused to worship a golden image, were thrown into a blazing-hot furnace, and walked out unharmed, accompanied by "a divine being."
201	* In UsefulNotes/{{Islam}}ic tradition, there's a story about King Nimrod burning Abraham alive. Turns out Allah tames the fire and lets Abraham walk out of it safely. Almost certainly based on the Jewish midrash that Nimrod ordered Abraham thrown into a furnace for refusing to worship the idols of Ur Kasdim, only for Abraham to survive unharmed. Abraham's brother Haran, [[KillItWithFire on the other hand]]....
202	[[/folder]]
203
204	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
205	* The evasion class feature in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' allows rogues and monks (and others) to survive area-of-effect attacks and spells unscathed with a successful Reflex save. The Kensai prestige class in 3.5 has an ability called "Withstand" which allows him or her to make a concentration check instead of a reflex save. In effect, it allows you to essentially ignore certain effects rather than dodging them, so you can literally walk out of the inferno.
206	* Happens in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' whenever a unit survives a flamer/heavy flamer/inferno cannon attack, meaning potentially anyone can do this, but it's most commonly invoked with Space Marines and Necrons.
207	* In ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'' the spell 'Fulminating Flame Cage' can cause this effect. The unit becomes trapped in a fiery cage and takes damage if it moves. So half the unit will invoke this trope by marching out the fire. The other half...[[KillItWithFire not so much.]]
208	[[/folder]]
209
210	[[folder:Video Games]]
211	* Played straight in the PC game ''VideoGame/AdventRising'', in a cutscene, by the main character. Carrying the second female lead. Using a force shield bubble. And flying. The inferno in question is the self-destruct sequence of a base stationed on top of a volcano. To be fair, you (humans) being a deity is the point of the game. [[http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/8356/adventrisingscreenzg7.png Screen]]
212	* The Ring That Commands Fire in ''VideoGame/ConquestsOfTheLongbow'' makes you immune to fire. At one point, Robin uses it to rescue Marian when the Abbot tries to burn her as a witch. [[YetAnotherStupidDeath This assumes that you remembered to put it on before plunging into the fire.]]
213	* The scenes that play upon level completion in ''VideoGame/{{Descent}} II'' end with the Material Defender escaping into space right after being engulfed by the [[ReactorBoss reactor]]/[[LoadBearingBoss boss]] explosion, [[AlwaysClose regardless of how much time you've got left after reaching the exit]].
214	* Baal does a variant at the end of ''VideoGame/DiabloII'', where everything behind him is catching on fire after he passes it. Well, he ''is'' the Lord of Destruction...
215	* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', this is done by [[BigBad The Elder One]]/[[spoiler:Corypheus]] when he meets the [[PlayerCharacter Inquisitor]] face-to-face for the first time.
216	* Sephiroth from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' does a badass walk ''into'' the flames of Nibelheim. It's become his signature scene and has constantly been reproduced in other games. The first trailer for ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' shows Sephiroth walking out from lava this way. It was followed by a characters in which all the {{Big Bad}}s from the first ten games in the series do this -- after which the lava turns into Chaos. The scene is also repeated in one of his victory screens in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''.
217	* In ''VideoGame/KingdomUnderFireTheCrusaders'', upon Regnier's first appearance you are told to lure him into a forest and proceed to light said forest on fire using your archer's fire arrows, [[TemptingFate followed with a comment of how the enemy have fallen]] along with some praise of a job well done. Cut to a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKzHs6iibbk scene of the fire]] with Regnier's entire unit marching out unaffected, as the music starts up.
218	* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'' provides a few examples:
219	** ProudWarriorRaceGuy Mandalore marches through the flames onto an enemy ship. Partly subverted, however, by the fact that Mandalore has opted to blow a hole in the wall [[ThereWasADoor not five feet from a door]].
220	** HK-50 did this at the end of the prologue.
221	** Every character's full-darkside image in the character sheet gives a general impression of this.
222	* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
223	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'': Link goes to the top of Ganon's eight story flying castle, defeats Ganondorf, and escapes with Zelda as the castle collapses. After Navi gives a sigh of relief, Ganondorf blasts out of the rubble, shows off his Triforce of Power and transforms into Ganon, a [[OneWingedAngel Giant Pig]] with two giant swords.
224	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'': Ganondorf gets one of these in the finale, only there it's more of an [[spoiler: Out Of The Exploding Hyrule Castle]].
225	* When Phoenix does this in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' and ''[[UpdatedRerelease Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3]]'', run away because she's just become [[GameBreaker Dark Phoenix]].
226	* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', after her transport is brought down by one of Shepard's party members, a Cerberus agent/robotic infiltration unit rises and stalks from the flames of the crash uninjured. For bonus points, her synthetic flesh has been burnt away to reveal a metal underlay and glowing eyes - very much like a certain other robotic infiltrator that endured a vehicle crash.
227	* Mega Man does this in the credits of ''VideoGame/MegaMan7''.
228	* Occurs in the opening movie of ''VideoGame/NeoContra'' with Bill Rizer and Jaguar after they blow up the giant robot at the end with rocket launchers.
229	* In VideoGame/{{Persona 5 Strikers}}, Akira Konoe pilots a {{Humongous Mecha}} that the Phantom Thieves fight through and cut down. [[spoiler:He walks straight out of its burning wreckage to make it very clear that he's not quite done with them yet.]]
230	* The first run-in with Hunters in ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' ends with a military base burning to the ground...and Alex Mercer standing unscathed in the ruins.
231	* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'':
232	** The monster Mr. X had one of these in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2''--he fell into a smelting vat and emerged later with his trenchcoat burned off and wiggling tentacles showed underneath.
233	** The monster Nemesis had one of these in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis''-- he emerged from fire with his trenchcoat burned off and wiggling tentacles showed underneath. This is a [[Franchise/MegaMan notable exception]] [[CapcomSequelStagnation from a company]] that's known for originality.
234	** Also, Bitores Mendez of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''. Leon ignites some gasoline by his feet setting off a 6 foot high explosion. Not only does Bitores survive, but he proceeds to grow 5 inch nails, grow 5 feet taller, and get 2 more limbs. The only thing Leon succeeded in doing was burning his coat... and pissing him off.
235	** The [[ImplacableMan Ustanak]] walks completely unfazed out of the flames after Jake attempts to blow him up by [[ExplodingBarrels shooting a barrel]], making the poor guy ''quickly'' change his tune:
236	--> '''Sherry:''' [[RunOrDie RUN!]]
237	--> '''Jake:''' Eat this! ''(explosion)'' Okay... we go with your plan. ''(runs)''
238	* Done with a slight variation in ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia''. On two occasions, Ramirez ominously emerges from flames in order to confront the main characters. On both occasions, the flames are the aftermath of heavy bombardments against the defenseless, which he initiated. In both occasions, he's a HopelessBossFight as well.
239	* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'': [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]]'s Big Entrance in ''Brawl'' and onwards during multiplayer matches.
240	** ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'':
241	*** [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Princess Peach]] gets a scene like this while holding her parasol, on the fight above the Halberd in the Subspace Emissary. Later, the four ships fly out of the explosion created when the Halberd was shot through by the Subspace Gunship.
242	*** The Ancient Minister in [[spoiler: ROB's reveal]]. Though that's not exactly walking ''out'' of the flames, and more fighting unhindered ''while [[IncendiaryExponent on fire]]''.
243	* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', Meet the Medic: The Heavy gets his first Ubercharge as he's facing down a dozen charging Soldiers. The first thing to emerge from the cloud is the Heavy's new GlowingEyesOfDoom.
244	--> Aaaaahahahahaha! I AM BOOLETPROOF!
245	%%* Shigi from ''VideoGame/{{Tenchu}} Z''.
246	* At the end of ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis 3'', the protagonists Alan and Wesley do this when the base they were fighting in collapses.
247	* Mokou in the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' [[FanVid fan video]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xlWuJngdWw&feature=related Blazing Heart. See 2:22.]]
248	* [[TheStarscream Starscream]] pulls one off before his boss battle in the [[VideoGame/Transformers2004 video game version]] of ''Anime/TransformersArmada''.
249	[[/folder]]
250
251	[[folder:Webcomics]]
252	* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Grace's final showdown with [[ArchEnemy Damien]] ends with him about to [[TakingYouWithMe self destruct]] rather than taking up Grace's offer to redeem himself. Grace reluctantly decides to save herself, but is still caught in the explosion, and would have probably died (or not[[note]]if you take into account her fireproof fur, perhaps only hurt[[/note]]), if not for [[spoiler: [[DeusExMachina the timely intervention]] of a character from the [[AlternateUniverse Alpha]] [[TheMultiverse Universe]] sheer chance (or not[[note]]if she was already monitoring the battle nearby since the target of her task ''was'' in the immediate area[[/note]]), happened to appear in the main universe in the same place and the same time to do an almost completely unrelated task]].
253	* ''Webcomic/{{Grrlpower}}'' Has Maxima do this with one of her ''own'' massive explosions, as a show of power and warning to potential supervillains. Later, Maxima tanks a hit from Bombshell and Sydney calls what happens next "the most predictable thing ever" and says Bombshell had better not "even dare to look surprised."
254	* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' inverts this, with Antimony marching ''into'' a burning room. The boy inside sees her emerging, unscathed, from the flames all the same. ([[spoiler:Granted, the fire was [[MasterOfIllusion illusory]], but it looked real enough that the fire walk required tremendous courage on Annie's part.]])
255	* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': [[spoiler:Rose and Dave rise out of the Green Sun, completely unharmed[[note]]okay technically they were killed by its creation and just CameBackStrong[[/note]], possibly millennia after creating it themselves. It's unspeakably badass]].
256	[[/folder]]
257
258	[[folder:Web Original]]
259	* ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ'' in its reboot has [[BigBad Metallix]] do this during the fight with Yoshi. After a brutal fight between the two over a [[{{MacGuffin}} Chaos Emerald]], Yoshi manages to trap Metallix in an egg and throws it into a wall which then explodes. It seems like [[HopeSpot the fight is over]] until it's revealed that Metallix is still alive. Metallix walks out of the flames, with it quickly becoming clear that he's completely ''pissed'' and thrashes Yoshi to near death.
260	* In the Literature/WhateleyUniverse introductory novel for Phase, Phase (the heroine) does this to the supervillain who has just tried to fireball her into a charcoal briquette. {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}d, as Phase is specifically thinking of the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' scene and trying to intimidate the villain. It doesn't work.
261	* In ''Literature/{{Worm}}'':
262	** The [[OmnicidalManiac Endbringer]] Behemoth does this after the heroes manage to contain him and distract him long enough that he can't use his dynakinesis (total control of energy) to redirect the absurdly powerful laser that is sent to him via a PortalNetwork. He's been reduced to a fifty-foot-tall skeleton covered in meat, but he's still alive, still healing, and just as deadly.
263	** It's a (several hours old) timelooped stream of light directed from the Indian villain Phir Sē. A [[ThinkingUpPortals timelooped]] stream of light [[EarthShatteringKaboom capable of destroying the whole Indian subcontinent]]. The only differences between this and a laser is that all lightwaves in a laser have the same wavelength (color), as well as being in phase (the waves oscillate in sync).
264	[[/folder]]
265
266	[[folder:Western Animation]]
267	* {{Deconstructed\|Trope}} at the end of the ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' episode "A Song of Knives and Fire": Stan tries to do this as he carries Francine out of a flaming warehouse, but he's been horribly burned by the flames while Francine is unscathed due to being wrapped in Stan's firefighter uniform. He then opens his mouth to say something and all he can let out is a [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl high-pitched scream]] of pain.
268	* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', [[spoiler:[[PersonOfMassDestruction Avatar Roku]]]] does this during the Winter Solstice. Though, to be fair, it's less coming out of the inferno than bending the inferno to his will.
269	* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'': In "Unmasked", Terry does this when rescuing a child from a burning building. His Batsuit is flame-resistant.
270	* If fire isn't enough, try ''lava''. Megatron of ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' emerges from a pool of lava in a new body near the end of the series, and it is ''awesome''.
271	* And in ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'''s final episode, Megatron (in a new body modeled after Optimus Primal's Optimal Optimus body from the third season of Beast Wars) is caught in a gigantic explosion caused by Optimus, which includes his severed-at-the-elbow arm flying out the of explosion.
272	-->'''Optimus''': [[BondOneLiner Say farewell to arms, Megatron!]]\
273	* clomp* ... clomp ... clomp ... clomp ... clomp ([[OhCrap Optimus' expression]] is priceless)
274	** In the G2 Marvel comics, Megatron once strolls through a cloud of the metal-eating Swarm. After falling from ''orbit''.
275	* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''. Whilst fighting [[FutureMeScaresMe Dark Danny]], Danny slaps an anti-ghost belt onto him, weakening the villain considerably, he then punches him into a petrol truck. Dark Danny accidentally blows it up with his hair engulfing the area in flames. Danny floats down, looks at the fire, and walks away. Dark Danny then emerges from the fire, unscathed, and casually rips off the anti-ghost belt with one hand. He then proceeds to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beat the crap out of Danny.]] ''Awesome''.
276	* On ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', [[ActionMom Lois]] cuts the hoses on the flamethrower that [[EnfantTerrible Stewie]] is using and it blows up. He leaps out of the fire a minute later.
277	* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', this happens a lot since about half the cast are fireproof. In one instance, Lobo does this from an explosion he created by tossing a car on someone and stomping on it [[EveryCarIsAPinto so it exploded]].
278	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
279	** {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}d when Bart portrays King David and Nelson is Goliath II. After Bart throws a lamp down Nelson's throat, there is an explosion.
280	--->'''Bart''': Great news, everyone! Goliath is dead! Although I haven't seen his body, the blast that failed to kill me surely killed the giant.
281	** Hilariously parodied in an episode where Moe's tavern is on fire (again), when Barney, coming out of the bathroom, notices both Homer and Moe passed out, as well as the beer being in danger. So he rescues... two kegs of beer first, then goes back in to rescue his friends, along with some more booze.
282	* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'' does this twice. First, Durge walks out of the flaming wreckage of his speeder bike, then Asajj Ventress emerges from the flaming wreckage of Anakin's starfighter. Though Asajj used the Force to clear the flames. Not sure whether that is less badass or more though.
283	* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' in "The Test" where Steven walks through flames that cannot harm him.
284	* ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'':
285	** At the beginning of the series, Clark uses his [[PubertySuperpower developing powers]] to [[HerosFirstRescue save a family from a crash]]. After their van goes up in flames, he emerges with a small child -- he protected her, and his [[NighInvulnerability superhuman toughness]] protected him.
286	** Subverted in the finale when Superman fights ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}. Superman grabs Darkseid's face so his Omega Beams get set off point-blank. There's a tremendous explosion that sends both flying. Next we see Superman weakly pulling himself out from underneath some rubble, then the camera pans over to where smoke is obscuring Darkseid, except for his {{glowing\|EyesOfDoom}} {{red eyes\|TakeWarning}} and we think he's about to do this... then the smoke clears a little more and we see Darkseid is badly hurt and barely able to stand. In fact, all he can do is walk towards Supes and collapse at his feet.
287	* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'', the Shredder does this during his first fight with the turtles, causing Michelangelo to remark "he's like the Shreddernator or something."
288	* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated''. Starscream, who has had a ''very'' bad day, is walking away with the PowerCrystal and looking truly disgusted with the universe. He ignores the Autobots, who blast him from behind after he walks past. When the flames clear, the only change in Starscream is that he is ''now facing them,'' and looking every bit as pissed. He proceeds to open a ''serious'' can of whoop-[[CallARabbitASmeerp skidplate]].
289	* ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' gives a few examples:
290	** [[TheJuggernaut Apocalypse]] is running amok somewhere in Mexico; all other X-Men around have failed to dent him. Enter Magneto, who drops a few communication satellites on him, resulting in this trope.
291	** Also happens with Rogue when Mastermind possesses her and forces her to acquire everyone's powers. Pyro sets her on fire and starts laughing, only to have her [[TheSlowWalk slow walk]] out of the flames courtesy of Colossus's [[MadeOfIron powers]]. Complete with ClothingDamage, too.
