* Played With in ''Literature/{{Touch 2017}}.'' 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.

* Doctor Zee from ''Series/Galactica1980'' is one of these. Although he doesn't have any "magical" powers ''per sé'', even as a young teenager his intellect is vastly greater than any other human in the fleet. He has saved the fleet from the Cylons "countless times in the past", created "super-science" weapons and vehicles, and has now guided them to Earth... and it is revealed in the final episode that he is the "spiritual" child of Starbuck and one of the Seraphs, the "[[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens Beings of Light]]" encountered in the original series.

* On one episode of ''Series/{{Misfits}}'', an infant (unbeknownst to his single mother) has MindControl abilities that he uses to force Nathan to want to be his father, which culminates in Nathan actually attempting to kidnap the baby. Everyone is at a loss for how to save Nathan without hurting the relatively innocent baby, until they just let him demonstrate what a ''terrible'' job he would do, and the kid decides maybe he'd rather not have this guy for a dad.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':

* Jururu from the third season of ''[[VideoGame/PriPara [=PriPara=]]]'' has the ability to give the idols powerful new coords, as [[spoiler: her true form is the goddess Jewlie]].

* Alexander Luthor Jr. made his debut as the ultimate {{MacGuffin}} in ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''. And from there, he eventually went on to become the DimensionLord BigBad of ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''.

** 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|s}}. Mutants usually acquire their powers during puberty (with physical mutations, such as ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}}'s physique, sometime happening sooner), but his are unlocked faster because he inherited power from his parents. [[spoiler:''ComicBook/FantasticFour2018'' retcons that Franklin was never a mutant at all, but had such powerful cosmic powers that he literally rewrote himself to be a mutant. He doesn't take it very well at all.]]
* ''Franchise/XMen'':
** ComicBook/RachelSummers (occasionally going by Rachel Grey) is the time-travelling daughter of ComicBook/JeanGrey and {{ComicBook/Cyclops}}, who has all of her mother's powers and power-levels combined with an even greater affinity for the Phoenix, which she successfully controlled for years on end, and some serious time-manipulation abilities. Even at 16, as a horribly stressed, traumatised, and malnourished teenager, she unleashed Xavier level psychic attacks when she felt threatened, and later, nowhere near her current power levels, she created a miniature black hole and subconsciously rewrote her genetic code with her telekinesis.
** Nathan Christopher Summers is an amusing twist: he generally appears as the time-travelling adult Cable... but as an infant in the 'present', he was actually ''far'' more powerful. This is thanks to Apocalypse being pissy and giving Nathan a techno-organic virus, meaning that he has to use the vast majority of his powers to keep in check - and it's sometimes implied that a lifetime of doing so has essentially limited him. It's also a tribute to how powerful he is that he's still often a heavyweight psychic even with those limitations. When the limits came off, he proved capable of simultaneously lifting up the gigantic island of Providence (which he'd been doing for months on end, often in his sleep and on the other side of the world, without anyone being the wiser), fighting the Silver Surfer, reconstructing all the damage they'd done (including reassembling the entire US Navy's Pacific Fleet on an atomic level), ''and'' psychically communicating with the Surfer. Rachel, meanwhile, could barely hold up Providence.
** Meanwhile Nathan 'Nate' ''Grey'' of the ''ComicBook/{{Age of Apocalypse}}'' was never infected and was shown to be much stronger than his [[PhlebotinumRebel biologically identical]] [[AlternateUniverse counterpart from]] [[EvilTwin another mother]]. In fact, he's the baby of the family, and his raw power was such that he was frequently paralleled with the aforementioned Franklin Richards (they were good friends). On demonstrated power so far (Hope's upper limits haven't yet been seen), he's by far the most powerful - most recently in ''ComicBook/AgeOfXMan'', [[FisherKing he became]] [[GeniusLoci a new living]] [[CosmicEntity plane of reality]]. The Summers' TangledFamilyTree is so much fun.
** Cable's [[EvilTwin evil]] [[CloningBlues clone]] Stryfe was originally far more powerful as well (since he too lacks the techno-organic virus), but not to the extreme levels that Nate Grey reached. [[TheResenter As Stryfe was very well aware of]], to the point where he tried to steal Nate's power. Cable's power has greatly increased since the last time he fought Stryfe, so they're probably on more even terms now.
** Gabriel Summers a.k.a. Vulcan, ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}'s [[CainAndAbelAndSeth long-foreshadowed second brother]]. He was artificially aged from two month old fetus 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 - and even despite having next to no training and, to be brutally honest, not much in the way of brains (certainly not compared to his older brothers), he's still capable of taking on entire teams of X-Men and the Shi'ar Imperial Guard (who beat him, but only because of Gladiator).
** Potentially the strongest of the lot is Hope Summers, who blew up Cerebro when she was born, healed Rogue with a touch as a baby, can fundamentally manipulate the X-Gene and the powers of other mutants, mimic the powers of anyone in range at maximum potential, and was the chosen host of the Phoenix Force - which she is frequently implied to retain a connection to.
** ''[[ComicBook/MutantX Mutant X's]]'' Scotty Summers, the child of an alternate version of Havok and Madelyne Pryor, is no more than six or seven years old, but can easily demolish the Goblin Force, which had devoured both the Phoenix Force and ''[[PhysicalGod Galactus]]'', in a psionic battle. He also has practically perfect clairvoyance, can insert projections of himself in others' minds, and can shrug off the mental attacks of Charles Xavier, the most experienced mutant telepath on Earth, with ease.

* A further MarvelUniverse example was Hyperstorm, the alternate future child of two of these, Franklin Richards and Rachel Summers. His powers include controlling the fundamental forces of the universe, moving to any point in the universe instantly through hyperspace, and ridiculous levels of psychic power. (He was still vulnerable to being eaten by Galactus, though.) This isn't terribly surprising with a dad who can re-arrange reality and a mum who is so powerful a telekinetic she can create a black hole and then destroy it just as easily, and that doesn't even start on all of her other abilities.
* In the [=WildStorm=] universe (home of ComicBook/TheAuthority, ComicBook/{{Planetary}}, and more), several superpowered "century babies" were born in the year 1900. Jenny Sparks, seemingly the most powerful of these, was actually the embodiment of the 20th century, and died shortly after it ended. Thus far, only a single century baby is known to have been born in the year 2000: Jenny Quantum, Sparks' godlike spiritual successor and quite possibly the most powerful being in the [=WildStorm=] universe. She's even singlehandedly, effortlessly, defeated Lobo.

* Sometimes this applies to even Normals. ''ComicBook/XMen'' has the powerless Dr. Moira [=MacTaggart=], whose status as Professor Xavier's ''ex-girlfriend'' was enough to knock her son, Kevin aka Proteus, into major ComboPlatterPowers levels. This is later revealed to be because [[spoiler: firstly, Moira is actually a powerful mutant in her own life, reincarnating every time she dies, as herself, with all the knowledge of her previous lives. Secondly, she and Charles researched genetically suitable partners to each produce such a mutant (Xavier provided Legion), as they need a RealityWarper to complete their plans]].

** Likewise their adopted son, Chris. A full-blooded Kryptonian ([[spoiler:the son of Zod and Ursa]]), he has the full set of powers as soon as he lands on Earth, unlike Clark, who got them over time. Franchise/{{Batman}} made him a PowerLimiter to help reign in his PowerIncontinence... only for it to eventually explode from holding so much power back, destroying the Kents' apartment.
** In the epilogue of ''Comicbook/WhateverHappenedToTheManOfTomorrow'', the baby son of Lois Lane and Jordan Elliot (really a depowered Superman living under an alias) plays with a piece of coal and squeezes it into a diamond.
* Black Bolt of ComicBook/TheInhumans nearly destroyed his home [[MakeMeWannaShout just by crying]] as a child. It is later revealed that his parents experimented on him in utero.
* [[spoiler:The baby Celestial]] born in ''[[ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} S.H.I.E.L.D]]'' #4.

* Kobik, also from the MarvelUniverse, is a little girl formed from the shards of Cosmic Cubes. She is a RealityWarper just like the Cubes, but other than that seems like a normal little girl. Unfortunately, she does not have a well developed moral compass yet and will assist just about anyone, hero or villain alike, as long as they are nice to her. Kobik also has fond memories of the times a wielder of one of the Cubes reshaped the world and goes to [[spoiler:the ComicBook/RedSkull]] hoping they can have fun together again. The villain is delighted to have his most powerful weapon return to him, and immediately agrees to be "friends" with her.
* Kei Kawade, better known as [[ComicBook/MonstersUnleashed Kid Kaiju]], can potentially start an invasion of monsters that are all on the level of Fing Fang Foom simply by scribbling in his notebook. His Inhuman ability is so powerful that he can easily occupy every single superhero team on Earth if he just keeps drawing.

* ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'':

** Phoebe's son was also destined to be an ultimate agent of either good or evil, since it was the child of [[BigBad The Source]] and a Charmed One. [[spoiler:It didn't go well. Or for long]].

* On one episode of ''Series/{{Misfits}}'', an infant (unbeknownst to his single mother) has MindControl abilities that he uses to force Nathan to want to be his father, which culminates in Nathan actually attempting to kidnap the baby. Everyone is at a loss for how to save Nathan without hurting the relatively innocent baby, until they just let him demonstrate what a ''terrible'' job he would do and the kid decides maybe he'd rather not have this guy for a dad.
* The GeniusDitz superhero Thermoman in British sitcom ''Series/MyHero2000'' had a son, Ollie, who was just as powerful as his father - but also twice as intelligent.
* Grogu from ''Series/TheMandalorian''. Despite being only an infant (at least by the standards of his LongLived species, since he's [[OlderThanTheyLook actually fifty years old]]), he already has some awareness of how to use the Force, being able to lift a rampaging Mudhorn off the ground, [[HealingHands heal wounds]], and even [[PsychicStrangle Force-choke]] someone he sees as a threat. The fact that he's a LivingMacguffin for an Imperial Holdout implies that he's seriously powerful despite how young he is, and while he initially suffers from a PowerStrainBlackout, his abilities are gradually getting stronger.
* Doctor Zee from ''Series/Galactica1980'' is one of these. Although he doesn't have any "magical" powers ''per sé'', even as a young teenager his intellect is vastly greater than any other human in the fleet. He has saved the fleet from the Cylons "countless times in the past", created "super-science" weapons and vehicles, and has now guided them to Earth... and it is revealed in the final episode that he is the "spiritual" child of Starbuck and one of the Seraphs, the "[[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens Beings of Light]]" encountered in the original series.
* Elizabeth Maxwell from ''[[Series/{{V1983}} V: The Miniseries]]'' was the only known successful offspring between a human and a Visitor. She shows unusual powers from birth, aging at a rapid rate to the point she was the equivalent of an 8-year-old mere hours after birth. At the series finale, she [[DeusExMachina used previously unknown powers]] to disable the Visitors' SelfDestructMechanism meant to [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroy the Earth]]. Her powers continued to increase in the TV series that followed.
* In Series/FallingSkies, the alien Espheni tamper with Tom Mason and Anne Glass's child, creating Lexi, a psychic hybrid they mean to use to put an end to Earth's resistance as well as the Espheni-Volm war. In the season 3 finale, Lexi uses her powers to fly an Espheni starship into the Espheni's power plant on the moon, shutting down the Espheni war machine on Earth.

** ComicBook/JeanGrey not only manifested her powers rather earlier than canon, at 6 when she made an unwitting psychic connection with her friend Annie as she was dying. In the process, she ended up meeting [[{{ComicBook/TheSandman}} Death]] (something she doesn't remember) and in her psychic scream of distress, unleashed a pulse so strong that it nearly blew up Cerebro and fuelled the rumours of 'the Lost Omega' (a fusion of rumours surrounding the Smallville Meteor Shower and said psychic pulse). Oh, and they may well actually go back further, with psychic connections to her younger cousin Harry and to [[spoiler: her twin sister, Rachel Grey a.k.a. Maddie Pryor]], both being speculated to have developed in utero. Professor X accordingly kept the full extent of her powers from her as he built up her knowledge, control, and morals, until Doctor Strange forced his hand.
** Harry's not a slouch, either, with [[spoiler: Sinister]] suggesting that his latent psychic powers were active from early childhood, with some of it being mixed up with accidental magic. And then there's the fact that he's technically a baby Phoenix host, with his protection being a fragment of the Phoenix Force. It's a pretty small fragment, smaller than a usual host, but that doesn't stop it literally blowing up in Voldemort's face.

* The Wiki/SCPFoundation's [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-239 SCP-239]]. An 8-year-old girl. [[RealityWarper Everything she wants becomes true]]. The Foundation managed to [[PowerLimiter limit her powers]] by telling her she's a witch and giving her a spellbook, potentially limiting her to only using spells from the book. They later put her in a chemically-induced coma because her existence is too big a risk. And [[WouldHurtAChild there are plans to kill her]] to permanently eliminate any further threats she poses.

* In Creator/RobinMcKinley[='=]s ''Spindle's End'' (an [[AdaptationExpansion expansion]] of the various "Sleeping Beauty" stories) magic permeates ''everything'' and the "Fairies" are actually normal people who happen to have the inborn ability to control it. The Fairy condition may not necessarily be hereditary and most Fairies come into their power [[PubertySuperpower as teens]]. However, a few Fairies manifest powers ''very'' early, a phenomenon known in the novel as "Baby Magic". As cutesy as that sounds, it's actually very dangerous and unpredictable, especially because you never know how those powers will manifest. A baby Fairy may be able to intuitively understand AnimalTalk. Or, they may be able to [[BalefulPolymorph transform the nanny into a terrier]] and pull a OneWingedAngel act ''every'' time they have a tantrum...

* [[spoiler:The Collector]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' [[spoiler:is essentially a PhysicalGod with the mind of a preschooler. Their main motivation is wanting to play, and they don't seem to be able to grasp concepts like [[BlueAndOrangeMorality death, morality, or people's willingness to take advantage of them]]. Their true form looks like a little kid in pajamas, and after being freed, they gleefully declare a game of tag before [[LudicrousGibs reducing Belos to a smear on the wall]] [[FingerPokeOfDoom with a flick of their finger]]. They then ''rip the Titan's Head apart'' to create a gameboard for the new game they want to play, and start tantruming when King and the others try to escape the world collapsing around them.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' are physically five-year-old girls with extraordinary superpowers. This is shown well in TheMovie, where they wreck the city by simply ''playing tag''.

* ''Literature/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineRelaunch'': Rebecca Sisko, the daughter of the Emissary, who one Bajoran splinter group believe is the Avatar of Peace. 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.

* {{Discussed|Trope}} in ''Literature/TheWitling''. Azhiri PsychicPowers are constant throughout a person's lifespan, so particularly Talented Azhiri make ''terrifyingly'' powerful children. The Guild rounds up dangerously Talented children to teach them how to not be {{Enfant Terrible}}s, but occasionally they miss one.

** Phoebe's son was also destined to be an ultimate agent of either good or evil, since it was the child of a [[BigBad The Source]] and a Charmed One. [[spoiler:It didn't go well. Or long]]

* The Ever-Child from ''Roleplay/EmbersInTheDusk''. An Honoured Greater Daemon of the Undivided born from a powerful psyker child who was intended to be sacrificed to Chaos. Instead, they struck back at the Chaosite, wiping out millions of people alongside him and making the Gods like them enough to promote. No matter what, they remained a child, a completely insane child seeing everything in terms of kid games.

** In the episode "The Crystalling", Twilight Sparkle and her friends meet Shining Armor and Cadance's newborn foal, Flurry Heart...who happens to be the first pony born an alicorn since the foundation of Equestria. She not only has the strength of an earth pony, the magic of a unicorn, and the flight of a pegasus, but her powers are far above those of other newborn ponies, and even some full-grown ones! However, she suffers from PowerIncontinence: she's a newborn foal and all foals tend to have bursts of their powers strike up. [[spoiler:In her case, her sneezes cause her to blow holes in the castle via her unicorn magic and her crying actually ''destroys the Crystal Heart''. Starlight Glimmer's foalhood friend Sunburst has to create a PowerLimiter spell to keep that magic under control.]] Even when her magic outbursts are contained, "A Flurry of Emotions" shows Flurry Heart is still quite capable of ''deliberate'' use of very powerful magic that can give Twilight Sparkle a run for her money.

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia:''

* The GeniusDitz superhero Thermoman in British sitcom ''Series/MyHero'' had a son, Ollie, who was just as powerful as his father - but also twice as intelligent.

* ''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|s}}.

** Zen'o, also from DBS, is the TopGod of all 12 universes in ''Dragon Ball'' and has the power to annihilate them all effortlessly. [[spoiler: Which his future counterpart does to Future Trunks' timeline when Zamasu infected it.]] He looks and acts like a little child.

* In the 2018 version of ''{{ComicBook/Avengers}}'', the new Starbrand appears to be a pregnant woman. In fact, it's her baby. Who is adopted by the Avengers. HilarityEnsues.

* The Star Child, son of Ken Connell, in ''ComicBook/TheNewUniverse''. Born with the Star Brand already within him (Ken had sex with the child's mother while in possession of the Brand), he's actually pretty damn powerful, going so far as to ''stop death itself from happening''. He later fuses with Ken and [[spoiler:his StableTimeLoop older self]], takes blame for the White Event and Black Event, then bolts.

* 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 Child from ''Series/TheMandalorian''. Despite being only an infant (at least by the standards of his LongLived species, since he's [[OlderThanTheyLook actually fifty years old]]), he already has some awareness of how to use the Force, being able to lift a rampaging Mudhorn off the ground, [[HealingHands heal wounds]], and even [[PsychicStrangle Force-choke]] someone he sees as a threat. The fact that he's a LivingMacguffin for an Imperial Holdout implies that he's highly powerful despite how young he is, and while he initially suffers from a PowerStrainBlackout, his abilities are gradually getting stronger.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
** [[Characters/PokemonGenerationIIFamilies Wynaut]]. Most baby Pokémon are useless but [[WhatMeasureIsANonCute cute]] [[JokeCharacter Joke Characters]]. But through a simple exploitation of its extremely limited moveset, Wynaut becomes a LethalJokeCharacter capable of taking down the most powerful mons in the game, include the actual [[OlympusMons Gods]]. It had been put in the "Uber" tier, a banlist from normal competitive gaming, although the ban was at least partly because it can cause an infinite stand-off with another Wynaut.
** 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. [[spoiler:Since it becomes a powerful OlympusMons with control over its powers at the end though, it's worth the journey.]]
* HandWaved in ''VideoGame/GoldenSun: The Lost Age'', it's stated that Eoleo got the same [[GreenRocks Psynergy Stone]] exposure that a few others got in the course of the first game. Additionally, he's on par with everybody else in ''Dark Dawn'', so maybe Adept kids are just a handful like that.

* ''VideoGame/{{Sonic The Hedgehog}}'' has small, fairy like beings called Chao. They act like toddlers and are generally adorable creatures, but they have the power to [[BornAgainImmortality reincarnate over and over again like a Phoenix]]. If the player follows [[http://chao.hippotank.com/sa2b/chaos-chao specific instructions after the Chao has reincarnated at least 2 times]], the Chao will evolve into a Chaos Chao, [[CompleteImmortality becoming truly immortal.]]

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 Child (more commonly known by fans as [[FanNickname "Baby Yoda"]]) from ''Series/TheMandalorian''. Despite being only an infant (at least by the standards of his LongLived species, since he's [[OlderThanTheyLook actually fifty years old]]), he already has some awareness of how to use the Force, being able to lift a rampaging Mudhorn off the ground, [[HealingHands heal wounds]], and even [[PsychicStrangle Force-choke]] someone he sees as a threat. The fact that he's a LivingMacguffin for an Imperial Holdout implies that he's highly powerful despite how young he is, and while he initially suffers from a PowerStrainBlackout, his abilities are gradually getting stronger.

** Nathan Christopher Summers of the ComicBook/XMen 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 ''ComicBook/{{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.
** Cable's [[EvilTwin evil]] [[CloningBlues clone]] Stryfe was originally far more powerful as well (since he too lacks the techno-organic virus), but not to the extreme levels that Nate Grey reached. Cable's power has greatly increased since the last time he fought Stryfe, so they're probably on more even terms now.
