* ''WesternAnimation/{{Looneytunes}}'': In one of the Rudy Larriva ''WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner'' cartoons, Wile E. ties pigeons on his feet to catch the Roadrunner, inspired by the Mercury myth. [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption Like all of his plans]], it doesn't go well.

* In ''Anime/HermesWindsOfLove'', Pan and Agape give Hermes a pair of small winged sandals after revealing themselves as fairies. However, these instantly adjust to his feet and instead of making him fly like in Greek myth, these only allow him to have an out-of-body experience.

Localization


* ComicBook/TheMightyThor also wears a winged helmet. His sister, ComicBook/{{Angela|AsgardsAssassin}}, also wears a winged circlet. As do some versions of Loki, like [[Comicbook/JourneyIntoMysteryGillen kid]] [[Comicbook/YoungAvengers versions]], or even [[Comicbook/LokiAgentOfAsgard teen Loki]], when they got [[Comicbook/{{Axis}} morality inverted for a time]] and did a GoodCostumeSwitch (Yes, there seems to be a very loose correlation between Loki's ''goodness'' and the wings, but that might has to do more with how they see themself (or want to be perceived) at that moment, not their actual alignment).

Moving some misuse from Hair Wings


* The Siren summon from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' has huge, golden wings... sitting on top of her head. Even her eyebrows appear to be feathers, though it all does sort of blend in with actual hair (which is the exact same color as the feathers).



* All of the members of the High Entia race in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' have large white wings on their heads, though the ones that are [[HalfHumanHybrid part Homs]] usually have smaller wings. A random, easily missable NPC mentions that while they can be used for flight, few of them bother to learn how to do so both due to the amount of training it requires and because they're a HigherTechSpecies who've mastered antigravity technology and use it for things such as keeping their massive city afloat over an ocean, [[spoiler:making one such display during a sidequest all the more sudden]].

* All ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'':
** White wings on the head are the defining trait
of the members of the High Entia race in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' have large white wings on from ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1''. They can range from being very long (reaching half way down their heads, though legs) or comparatively short (Barely below the ones that neck). There's a good reason for this, as small-winged High Entia such as Melia are actually [[HalfHumanHybrid part Homs]] usually have smaller wings. A random, easily missable NPC mentions that while they half-Homs]]. Ones with long wings can be used for flight, few of actually train to use them bother to learn how fly, although it doesn't do much good to do so both due to the amount of training it requires and because they're a HigherTechSpecies who've that mastered antigravity technology and use it for things such as keeping their massive city afloat over an ocean, [[spoiler:making antigravity.

** Various Kevesi soldiers in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'' have wings sprouting from their heads, among them main party member Eunie and Colony 9 commander Zeon. One sidequest has a character speculate that the wings give people greater control over ether, and that Eunie's skills as a [[CombatMedic Medic Sniper]] stem from them. They're heavily implied to be descendants of the High Entia.
