*In Elana Frink's short story "The Los Angeles Women's Auxiliary Superhero League", the character Jane is initially embarrassed about her power of "niceness". It turns out that she can mesmerize people by speaking to them gently in a soothing tone of voice, to the point where she can stun would-be muggers and reduce a supervillain to a drooling vegetable. She later gets the superhero name of "Hypnotique" which she likes much better than "the nice one."

* Don't let his power fool you. In CircleofMagic, Briar Moss' power is that of plants. Oh, sure, grow some plants, you might think, but in Tris' Book, the second of the CircleofMagic books, he works with his mates, three other girls, to create literally killer thorns to protect the temple he's currently calling home. And in Street Magic of The Circle Opens, he's considered a full mage, and by himself, uses a basket woven from dried reeds to bind up and hold down a girl he was trying to convince she needed magic training, use roses to torture a gang member for information, and in the climax, uses plants to tear down walls, cause wooden doors to come alive as if they're still trees, and use a thorny vine to kill someone by having the thorn grow THROUGH someone trying to come up behind him. Awesome Power, indeed.

* [[{{Ninja}} Junpei]] of ''{{Megatokyo}}'' claims that [[MagicalGirl magical girls]] follow a "code of love," which is much more dangerous than the ninjas' code of honor, and results in "much destruction of urban area." Considering that magical girls have been shown to possess super speed, super strength, super athletisism (balance and so forth), teleportation, [[ArsonMurderAndJayWalking and shrinking]], he may be right. Considering that the closest thing this setting has to a BigBad is an immortal ReallySevenHundredYearsOld DarkMagicalGirl who controls hordes of zombies and destroyed one of the most complicated [=MMORPG's=] in existence when she was ''bored'', then he's definitely right.
