*** Nigh invulnreable adorable squishy things that looke like gummi bears? WHY HASN'T SCIENCE MADE THESE THINGS HUGE SO WE CAN HAVE THEM AS PETS!?!?

* The re-imagined BattlestarGalactica featured a season 3 episode where the Chief and Cally are forced to do an unprotected spacewalk (really just a jump into a waiting Raptor) when an airlock malfunctions and seals them in.

* [[AGodAmI Eneru]] from OnePiece flew to the moon following his defeat and had no trouble walking around in just awesome pants. Of course he IS living lightning after all.

* Inverted in [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff900/fv00863.htm Freefall #863]], where Helix the robot learns why he ''can't'' survive in vacuum.

** No recognizable nostils [[BizarreAlienBiology on their heads]], anyway. They could have nostrils elsewhere hooked up to an air supply and tough enough skin to act as a natural space suit. They are an engineered species created by the [[{{Precursors}} Xel-Naga]], after
all.
** T The Protoss all have invisible shields surrounding them. This is probably how they survive in space generally, and if they get shot enough to lose the shield, they can either hold their breath till it comes back online or it won't matter because they'll be dead.

* [[{{Film/Avatar}} Colonel Quaritch]] can bloody well wait for his oxygen mask on a planet with unbreathable air. [[{{Badass}} He has aliens to kill.]]
** Additionally, he is shown to hold his breath each time he goes into the toxic atmosphere.

** One issue of ''Justice League of America'' showed {{Batman}} training himself, not to be able to breathe in space, but to at least survive the vacuum of space for a couple of seconds. The MartianManhunter helps while wondering if he should.

* ''{{Empowered}}'' discovers this by ''accident'' [[spoiler:when she steps on to an airless asteroid from a malfunctioning portal]]. Then again, her alien supersuit [[HowDoIShotWeb didn't come with instructions]].

* In the ''[[SamAndMax Sam and Max]]'' comic episode, "Bad Day On The Moon", the eponymous duo blast off to the moon (via thousands and thousands of match heads stuffed into the [=DeSoto=]'s tailpipe) with only a set of penny-conscious moon gear (paper bags with plastic eye holes to put over their heads) to protect them from the lack of atmosphere on the moon. But, despite Sam's preparedness (he brought a spare bag in case he ran out of air), it turns out that they can breathe easily on the moon, as Max exemplifies by taking his bag off to dig some moon dust out of his eye. Explained thusly:

* TheHulk can breath and survive in the vacuum of Space.

** Which apparently is a very long time. Long enough to cross interstellar distances without a spaceship.

* In ''From the Earth to the Moon'' by Jules Verne, soon-to-be-shot-into-space adventurer Michael Ardan is asked whether it is not foolish, since there is little if no air on the Moon? "Then I will only breathe on special occasions!" he quips.
