* One ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' episode had the duo discover the baby [[{{Superman}} Kal-El]] before the Kents. Although Brain initially wants to turn the kid into a TykeBomb after seeing his amazing powers, he eventually realizes he's not cut out to raise a kid, let alone one with superpowers. Pinky and the Brain return Kal-El to his ship, right before the Kents arrive.

** Any Saiyan HalfHumanHybrid can be relied on to crush a BigBad who has otherwise proved unstoppable. Two of the big bads of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' (Raditz and Cell) are defeated by Goku's son, Gohan, as a toddler and pre-teen 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[[note]]It had originally been intended that Gohan was going to take over as the main character post Cell, but Creator/AkiraToriyama changed his mind, believing Goku was a better fit as the protagonist.[[/note]].

* Manga/{{Akira}} from the eponymous manga is a child with extreme psychokinetic powers. He was so powerful that he had to be sealed away in an underground facility at below freezing temperatures.

* In TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 lore, the anticipated future reincarnation of The Emperor of Mankind is called the "Star Child", and it is believed he will possess all the powers of the Emperor from birth.

%%* Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' opens with several scenes of this.
* Baby Jack-Jack of ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' shows off several superpowers during the climax and WesternAnimation/Incredibles2 shows that he may have as many as 17 different powers, depending on how you count them. ** The shorts ''WesternAnimation/JackJackAttack'' and ''WesternAnimation/AuntieEdna'' rather hilariously demonstrate even more powers and deconstruct the implications having to watch over a toddler with quite varied ComboPlatterPowers. In a light-hearted moment, Edna calls him a "tiny god" as he's showing off his new supersuit, in reference to her line from ''The Incredibles'' where she says "I used to design for gods".

* Charlie [=McGee=], the eponymous incredibly powerful pyrokinetic of Stephen King's ''Literature/{{Firestarter}}''.
She's 7 when the story begins, but her powers first manifested when she was a baby.

* ''Franchise/PrettyCure'': Chiffon, Ai-Chan, and Hugtan of ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure'', ''Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure'' and ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure'' fit the bill pretty well as they are babies with incredible power. Chiffon especially, as ''Fresh'''s story revolved around trying to protect her, and with the StoryBreakerPower of telekinesis and teleportation, the writers were [[DeusExitMachina forced to essentially find a way to put her out of the story]] in TheMovie and the ''Anime/PrettyCureAllStars'' movies. Hugtan is also notable since unlike Chiffon and Ai-chan (who are fairies), she's only a human baby despite having very strong magical powers [[spoiler:which likely has to do with the fact that she was a Pretty Cure before using the last of her power aged her down into a baby]].

Sh also says it to boost his confidence, like what a designer would say to a model.

In a light-hearted moment, Edna calls him a "tiny god" as he's showing off his new supersuit but it turns out to be more of the flattering banter a designer gives their model on the runway as Jack Jack is more interested in striking a pose than showing off his powers.

* Baby Jack-Jack of ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', for a [[TheReveal reveal]]. The shorts ''WesternAnimation/JackJackAttack'' and ''WesternAnimation/AuntieEdna'' rather hilariously deconstruct the implications of godlike babies for those who have to look after them. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dQpFu8uRP0 Observe.]]
** The [[WesternAnimation/Incredibles2 sequel]] shows that he may have as many as 17 different powers, depending on how you count them.

* Labra from ''Franchise/{{Jewelpet}}'' is canonically the most powerful of all the Jewelpets. But since she's a baby, most manifestations of said power are during temper tantrums which do more (hilarious) harm than good to her friends.

* ''Franchise/TheSmurfs'': Baby Smurf is enchanted and often demonstrates magic powers when a DeusExMachina is required without the other ''Smurfs'' knowledge with the lone exception of Papa.

* ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': Franklin Richards, son of two members of the Fantastic Four, can do [[RealityWarper literally anything]]. Basically, Franklin has two separate superpower sets: he is explained as possessing both the cosmic radiation which empowered his parents ''and'' being a {{Mutant}}. Mutants usually acquire their powers during puberty (with physical mutations, such as Nightcrawler's physique, sometime happening sooner), but his are unlocked faster because he inherited power from his parents.

* Rebecca Sisko, the Avatar of the Prophets, in ''Literature/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineRelaunch''. Thus far her only displayed power has been the ability to hit the ResetButton when something bad is about to happen to her, and then send a burst of energy to attract attention, but even that effectively makes her a RealityWarper.

** The god Váli was conceived for the specific purpose of avenging his fallen half-brother, [[TheAce Balder]]. He [[RapidAging grew up in one day]] and killed [[DisabledDeity Hoder]], who had [[AccidentalMurder been tricked into killing Balder]] by [[TheTrickster Loki]].

** [[EnfanteTerrible Foop]]. He gains [[AGodAmI godhood]], drains the power of 2 planets, defeats [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Jorgen Von Strangle,]] sends a plague upon [[CrapSackWorld Dimmsdale,]] and changes said planets within an hour of his life, EFFORTLESSLY, with nothing but a bottle. His only weaknesses are his mindset and normal weaknesses of a newborn.

* Alexa from ''Literature/TheLastDragonChronicles''. [[spoiler:She ''created her own father.'']] Oh, and [[spoiler:Joseph Henry]] is just as bad.

* Played With in ''Literature/{{Touch}}.'' Twelve-year-old James is noted as being one of the most powerful mages in the world, though currently he [[UnskilledButStrong hasn't been trained enough]] to use more than [[BlowYouAway his default gifts]]. While he might be too old for this trope, his five-year-old sister Bex apparently would be even stronger, though she hasn't [[TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening manifested]] yet.

* ''Literature/ItsAGoodLife'' by Jerome Bixby, [[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E73ItsAGoodLife famously adapted for TV]] on ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959''. Anthony Fremont is a RealityWarper, he can use {{People Puppets}}, he has {{Telepathy}}... and he's an instant generator of horror. [[spoiler:[[SuperpowerfulGenetics His daughter]] makes it better.]]

** Lorewise, [[Characters/PokemonGenerationVIIFamilies Cosmog]] is one of these, as it holds enough power to open portals to an alternate dimension full of {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, from which it is said to come from. Said power, however, doesn't apply to battle: it has very low base stats, only learns Splash and Teleport[[note]]two no-effect moves that actually prevent it from attacking due to their high PP keeping Cosmog from using Struggle for at least 40 turns ''if'' you remember to delete one of them[[/note]] and needs to [[MagikarpPower evolve twice]] in order to learn any move that can cause some form of damage. Since it becomes a powerful OlympusMons with control over its powers at the end though, it's worth the journey.
