* Vivio of ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'', the title character's adopted 6-year-old daughter who [[spoiler:slapped around her mother's SuperMode silly during the final battle of the third season and managed to remain conscious while taking ''five'' [[WaveMotionGun Starlight Breakers]] at full blast]]. Looks like Nanoha has a worthy successor to the "[[FanNickname White Devil]]" name. Being [[spoiler:a [[CloneJesus clone of Sankt Kaiser Olivie]], perhaps the most powerful mage in history]], explains pretty well why she's so powerful.

* The BigFinishDoctorWho audio "The Holy Terror" features a child who has been kept by his wicked father in a dungeon all his life, exposed to no external voices, so he can learn the language of God. When the child is released, it ''has'' become God, and sets out to kill everyone it can in order to find its 'father'. (This character was an influence for the Empty Child from Series 1 of the revival series of ''Series/DoctorWho''.)

** Gabriel Summers a.k.a. Vulcan, {{Cyclops}}'s [[TheOtherBrother long-foreshadowed second brother]]. He was found as a baby and raised to adolescence by aliens, and has the power to absorb literally ''any'' form of matter or energy and fire it back, survive in the vacuum of space, and shut off superpowers. He was described as "beyond Omega-level", but since Omega-level already means a mutant of unlimited potential, the part about being beyond a mutant of unlimited potential is most likely a regretful mistake. Still, he's very powerful.

** Any Saiyan HalfHumanHybrid can be relied on to crush a Big Bad who has otherwise proved unstoppable. Two of the {{Big Bad}}s of the series (Raditz and Cell) are defeated by Gohan as a toddler and teenager respectively. However, it's also subverted in that these power spurts are the result of short-lived moments of UnstoppableRage; Gohan didn't constantly train and focus to keep up his might or to hold his temper in check, and that's largely why Goku is the one to defeat Frieza and Majin Buu.

** Goku was sent to Earth because he'd easily be able to wipe out all life on the planet ''as a newborn baby.'' That's not speaking highly of Goku; [[NormalFishInATinyPond that's speaking badly of Earth]]. We're so back-water and worthless we're not even worth a proper invasion, just send a baby there, let it full-moon-rampage for a few years, then send someone to clean up whatever's left over.

** Nathan Christopher Summers of the Comicbook/{{X-Men}} is an amusing twist: he generally appears as the time-travelling adult Cable, in which persona he is among the mightiest mutants in the world... but the present-time infant version has shown bursts of even greater power, thanks to Apocalypse being pissy and giving Nathan a techno-organic virus. However Nathan ''Grey'' of ''{{Age of Apocalypse}}'' was never infected and was shown to be much stronger than his [[PhlebotinumRebel biologically identical]] [[AlternateUniverse counterpart from]] [[EvilTwin another mother]]. The Summers' TangledFamilyTree is so much fun.

* This is the entire premise of ''{{minus}}'', a webcomic about an omnipotent little girl. The title character has created and destroyed entire worlds while playing. Frequently involves disturbing FridgeLogic / FridgeBrilliance which proves that even a sweet-tempered, happy little kid like [[{{alllowercaseletters}} minus]] can do some mind-warpingly horrible things when given godlike power. One of the last things she does on earth is [[KillEmAll killing 'em all]]. That's not as bad as it sounds, though.
