* In one ''ComicBook/RichieRich'' comic book story, Irona the robot maid (female design) is on a date with Steelo, a male-design robot when a car tries to run the red light while they are crossing and in the way. No effect on the robots. The car is comprehensively totalled. This being a kid's comic book, the driver is merely stunned.
* The first volume of ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'' has Cassidy attempt CarFu on [[NighInvulnerability The Saint of Killers]]. The truck Cassidy was driving practically folds itself in half and the Saint doesn't even budge.

* In several ''ComicBook/{{Bamse}}'' episodes, Vargen has tried to run over Bamse with his car. One example is in the movie ''Vargen äter dunderhonung'', after Vargen had robbed Katta Lo's candy shop. It usually ends badly for the car.

* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':

* In ''[[ComicBook/TheTransformersMegaseries Transformers: Stormbringer]]'', Crankcase tries to ram the much larger Thunderwing while in vehicle mode. He ends up wrecking himself against Thunderwing's leg, to no effect. While Crankcase survives the experience (despite being left for dead), it's possibly the reason he's got an unrepaired head injury when he showed up in ''ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye''.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':

* [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/supergirl-meets-a-truck-302151529 In this fanart]], ''Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}'' meets a truck. Said truck didn't survive that meeting.

* In ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', Comicbook/{{Superman}} gets hit by the [[CoolCar Batmobile]] going at full speed. [[NoSell Clark doesn't budge]], but the Batmobile is badly damaged and crashes.

* In ''Film/SwampThing'', Ferret and the other mooks attempt to run Swamp Thing down with their Jeep, but are stopped dead on their tracks by his newfound SuperStrength. He then proceeds to rips the car's roof off and throw the men about.

In Japan, Truck-kun crushes you. In Soviet Russia, ''[[RussianReversal YOU crush Truck-kun!]]''

* In the first ''Anime/SaintSeiya'' movie, Hyoga saves a bunch of orphans from being run over by a car using only his hand, but has to sacrifice one of the watermelons he was bringing them to do so.

* The [[http://vimeo.com/11533560 music video]] for "Rabbit In Your Headlights" by Music/{{UNKLE}} featuring [[Music/{{Radiohead}} Thom Yorke]]. In it, a homeless and seemingly crazy man in a thick jacket is walking in the middle of a road through a busy tunnel. He gets hit a few times by passing cars but always gets right back up and continues walking and ranting to himself. Eventually he begins shedding his clothes. At the climax of the song he suddenly stops, shirtless, and holds out his arms as a car barrels towards him. [[http://b.vimeocdn.com/ts/477/914/47791457_640.jpg It crashes into him as if he's immovable]].

'''Saint of Killers:''' [nonchalantly] I'll get to him.

In {{real life}}, when a pedestrian is hit by a car, they suffer physical trauma; as a result, automobiles cause [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_causes_of_death_by_rate more deaths]] than any other machine on the planet. While that statistic still applies to drivers, you can expect a number of pedestrians (with CharlesAtlasSuperpower) in fiction to hold their own.

* The ''{{Film/Carrie}}'' remake has Carrie pull it off by telekinesis: instead of Billy Nolan's car crashing into the pedestrian, it crashes onto an unseen wall of telekinetic force in front of her. For the record, the novel and the original adaptation just have the car forced to drive off-road and crash into something else.

-->-- '''Film/{{Hellboy|2004}}'''

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' has Accelerator do this to Amai Ao's car when it charges into him by [[SuperpowerLottery using his telekinesis, known in-universe as "Vector Control"]].

* At the beginning of ''Film/{{Constantine}}'', when the Mexican man finds TheSpearOfDestiny, he walks onto a road and a car runs into him. The car is totaled, the man is unscathed.

* ''Film/{{Hellboy|2004}}'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kA0tg8hudw punches a oncoming car with his stone fist]] to save a man lying on the road, causing it to flip over them both.

* In ''[[Series/TheFlash2014 The Flash]]'', the metahuman villains Gorilla Grodd and Griffi Grey do this.

* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
** The Netflix series ''[[Series/LukeCage2016 Luke Cage]]'' starring the eponymous hero has him do this to an SUV by standing in its way.
** ''[[Series/JessicaJones2015 Jessica Jones]]'' has a heavily downplayed version. The heroine does stop a car, but only a part of the front hood is damaged. Another variation occurs where a truck runs her over. Jessica's ribs are broken, the truck's engine is wrecked, aka a non-lethal MutualKill.

* ''Series/TheXFiles'': "Salvage" starts out with a car being almost cleaved in half after running into someone.

* In one episode of ''Series/TheTenthKingdom'', a [[AllTrollsAreDifferent troll]] wandering around New York city is hit by a car; he suffers no injury, but the car is badly damaged.

* The ComicBook/IncredibleHulk is a giant green behemoth, yet [[TooDumbToLive people seem to think]] he can be taken out by cars that are ''smaller than him!'' The opposite tends to happen. Then again, due to his NighInvulnerable body, buses, trucks, tanks, even planes and train end up getting destroyed crashing into him.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': When the Smith family chase after the girls and the Professor with their WeaponizedCar, [[RememberedICouldFly the girls eventually realize they have no reason to run]] and simply crush the car with their bare hands.

* '' Bayonetta series''
** ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' accidentally lands on top of Enzo's car when chasing an angel who has kidnapped him, crushing the car due to her SuperStrength. Enzo is not at all happy with the development, and even Bayonetta's face clearly screams "Oops."
** ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta 2}}'' takes this up to 11 when Bayonetta does this to a fighter jet in the introduction. Kicking it from a dive right at her into a straight vertical climb, [[IBrokeANail and then complaining when her dress got ripped in the ensuing fight]].
