"Just three ounces of pressure to the vagus nerve and then...Look at your boy here. Sleepy night-night!"
"You ever watch Mr. Spock on Star Trek? 'Cause if you don't shut your cakehole, you bloody idiot, I'll be happy to demonstrate his Vulcan sleephold for ya'."
— Nick Hopewell, The Langoliers
Rimmer: That's not an Ionian nerve grip, that's smashing me over the head with a vase!
Kryten: There's no such thing as an Ionian nerve grip! Now stand still while I hit you.

Lois Lane: "Notices the two extended fingers! I think this Faora overcame Superman with a secret fighting technique... One of the Kryptonian equivalents of Karate or Aikido! Not Klurkor— I know that art myself— but some other kind!"
Jimmy Olsen: Of course! She knew the pressure points where she could inflict the most damage!"
Steve Lombard: "Come off it, guys— If you expect me to believe one measly little pressure point could— Hey! Owwwwww!"
Lois Lane: "I picked up this measly little trick from a policewoman pal of mine! If I used Klurkor or Karate— It would hurt even more!"
Steve Lombard: "Okay, okay, I give! Just let go!"

Reaching out with both hands, the Martian grabbed Proton and Buster's testicles and pinched as hard as possible.
"YEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWCH!" screamed Buster. "WHY DO THEY CALL IT THE MARTIAN NERVE PINCH?"
"Because only a Martian would have the nerve to use it," gasped Proton, wincing in pain.

Satan Girl cried out in pain. <You unmothered little BITCH of a matrix-being!> she yelled. Before she could get out too many more curses, five hard fingers went to a pressure point on her neck.
They were on the end of Dev's hand.
<Grab hold,> he snapped to Kara. Satan Girl's body was going limp, but Kara could tell she'd shake it off within seconds.

Mary looked at her opponent, saw her bruised face, saw her glassy eyes, and held back her upraised fist in consideration.
She, too, had the wisdom of Solomon. Part of that wisdom included the workings of the human body, and what pressure points could be relied upon to do when touched in a certain way.
With a movement, she placed herself behind Georgia Sivana, and pressed down hard on two of those points, wrapping her legs about Georgia's midsection to keep her in place. The bad girl struggled for a few moments, but for no more than that. Mary kept the hold on long enough to ensure that Georgia couldn't be bluffing. The girl hung limp in her grasp.

"Top approach, double-strike to eye ridge, slide down between blinded target's rising arms, precision nerve strike to throat, secondary nerve strike to counter blood rage, quad-kick to bend target, grip each side of skull, running leaping spinning neck-snap. Alternate: Bomb."

Linda: Why did you do that!?
Belinda: It's an ancient Kryptonian memory erasure pressure point. By tapping her skull in that precise spot at that exact pressure, I've erased every memory that she had of the last hour.
Linda: (annoyed) There's no such thing as an ancient Kryptonian memory erasure pressure point.
Belinda: (shrugging) True enough.

Mutant Leader: That a tickle?
Batman: That was a nerve bundle in your deltoid. Might not hurt, but you won't be moving that arm for a while.
