* ''Fanfic/OniGaShikuSeries'': Naomasa Tsukauchi has a quirk called "Judge Eyes". His quirk allows him to see the statements of up to two people at the time and examine based on a variety of clues whether the people speaking are lying or not. That said, when a person tells something they ''think'' is true but is actually false, then the quirk registers it as a truth. Another major catch of the Quirk - and the reason it has this name - is that Naomasa's eyes glow gold when someone tells something truthfull, and silver when they lie. He also cannot turn it off, and the quirk works for Naomasa's own statements. This way anyone who knows about Naomasa's quirk can tell who is currently lying, which has backfired on Naomasa a few times.

** While the reasons [[DependingOnTheWriter vary]] Diana herself is ususally able to tell if she's being lied to even without the lasso if she's paying attention. This means that when [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 she wants to deny]] Ares' claim of [[LukeIAmYourFather being her maternal grandfather]] she doesn't even complete what she was going to say before her own intrinsic connection to the truth tells her he's not lying.
