** Jella's Celestial Body Magic is FullContactMagic and {{Fantastic Nuke}}s fueled by the stars. Several of them take the form of constellations before being fired, such as Grand Chariot, while his Altairis spell heavily resembles a black hole and his Sema spell [[ColonyDrop actually drops a meteor from the sky]].

* In ''Literature/MyBrotherIsASuperhero,'' Zack gets three stars on his chest when he's given his powers, and thus takes on the hero name "Star Guy." [[spoiler:It turns out that he needs exposure to starlight or his powers begin to fade]].

* Dante's ''[[Literature/TheDivineComedy Paradiso]]'' keeps with ancient cosmologies in attributing the creation of all of Earth's elements to the power of the stars. They have this unique influence due to being directly created by God, making it so that they could never be corrupted or destroyed (again, in keeping with astronomy of the time). The only other thing in the world created like the stars would be the human soul, which is why it remains immortal even if the body dies [[BackFromTheDead for a little while]].
