* Many of the villains - and some of the allies - in ''Literature/{{Sapphire}}'' are Psychics, and demonstrate all manner of powers. Even [[{{Ninja}} ninjas]] are Psychics, in a sense. Alec makes the connection that "''ninjutsu'' is probably some variation on the whole psychic philosophy".

** Pinkie Pie, an earth pony, has Pinkie Sense, which is effectively a form of precognition by reading various twitches and aches along her body.
** {{Discussed|Trope}} in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E24EquestriaGames Equestria Games]]"; Spike ''thinks'' he can set fires with these when the torch is seemingly lit on its own, until Twilight sets him straight.

** The title character often discovers {{New Superpower}}s, but from the second season onward almost all of them are in some way psychic, and usually [[SuperingInYourSleep require him to be unconscious]]. In order, he discovers [[TheEmpath empathic power]] (which relates to all of his powers in some way), {{Dream Walk|er}}ing, DemonicPossession, {{telepathy}}, {{Psychometry}}, and AstralProjection.
** The members of the Great Diamond Authority have a PsychicLink to each other and beside Yellow have unique psychics powers: Blue has an EmotionBomb, White has [[spoiler:MindControl and clairvoyance or telepathy]], and Pink [[spoiler:likely has some or all of Steven's powers]].
** Oddly, Sapphire and Garnet's [[{{Seers}} Future Vision]] ''don't'' appear to be related to the above and are never referred to as "psychic".

* In the Franchise/{{Marvel|Universe}} and [[Franchise/TheDCU DC]] universes (and many [[TakeAThirdOption other companies]]). Marvel has numerous {{mutants}} with telepathy, including Professor X, ComicBook/JeanGrey, ComicBook/RachelSummers, ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}, and dozens of others. Some of these also have telekinesis or other related powers. Oddly enough, Marvel in particular differentiates between mutant and non-mutant psychics. Franchise/SpiderMan has a minor form of this in his SpiderSense. DC has a few alien races, including ComicBook/{{Martian|Manhunter}}s and [[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes Titanians]], who have native psychic powers of various kinds.
** Franchise/TheFlash's enemy Gorilla Grodd is a [[IntellectualAnimal fully-sapient]] gorilla {{supervillain}} with Psychic Powers.
** Even the original ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' Siegel and Shuster created for their short story "Reign of the Superman" had psychic powers instead of physical ones (specifically MindControl.) The actual Superman could have this at times during UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}} (at one point using "telepathic will-control", for example) as part of his whole NewPowersAsThePlotDemands deal.
** In Franchise/{{Superman}} ''ComicBook/KryptonNoMore'' story arc, Superman fights one-time villain Protector who has telepathy, pyrokinesis and cryokinesis. Later on, he and his cousin Supergirl meet an alien race known as Xonnians. Xonnians have no vocal cords, so they use a form of telepathy.
** In ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' storyline ''ComicBook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' [[Franchise/GreenLantern Judge Sheko]] gains telepathy and pyrokinesis once she becomes a Red Lantern.

* ''Fanfic/AFrozenFlower'': All ''lamberos'' have these powers as part of their ComboPlatterPowers, which make up the large majority of said powers. They can sense other ''lamberos'', have MindReading abilities, can [[LaserGuidedAmnesia wipe the memories of someone (whether completely or just specific memories)]], can make others around them [[HearingVoices hear voices,]] and can even MindRape others if they choose to. These powers can make them a threat to any enemy they come across, as demonstrated with [[EnfantTerrible Natalia,]] the last awoken ''lambero'' prior to Orchid's creation, being a CurbStompCushion for dozens of Odd Squad agents that attack her.

Matilda is also able to use her powers to create additional people (like [[KidSidekick the Young Gentleman]]), keep herself immortal, and BreakTheFourthWall.]]

* In ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'', the key to [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Koizumi's]] use of his powers are stated to be linking to Haruhi's mind and acknowledging the differences between his own emotions and hers. Eventually he manages to form mind links with anybody else, possibly getting to read their surface thoughts. Through his limited experimentation, he learns that most of the SOS Brigade have some kind of PsychicBlockDefense with varying strengths, ranging from feeling like a strong wind, to being completely undetectable.

** The [[spoiler: [[AlternateContinuity alternate universe]]]] counterpart to ''Tsukihime'', ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'', has its own Mystic Eyes of Death Perception user in Shiki Ryougi, who has ''much'' greater control over hers. Other examples include Mystic Eyes that grant precognition, along with a type that grant a girl the psychokinetic ability to bend objects by looking at them [[spoiler:which later develops into Clairvoyance]] .
