** The Elements of Harmony, the most powerful magic in Equestria, are powered by [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship]], manifest as jewellery, and when activated fire what is essentially a colossal rainbow cannon, and in season 2 unleash a WorldHealingWave; it's the illustration of the show's [[Awesome/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Awesome Moments]] page for good reason.

* In ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', the magic wand wielded by the titular Princess Star emits blasts that could be described as weaponized cuteness. Her enemies face an onslaught of sparkles, rainbows, puppies, unicorns, narwhals, and just about anything else the GenkiGirl Star finds adorable. Nevertheless, the spells are plenty powerful. The magic takes this form because because the wand [[ImaginationBasedSuperpower reflects the character of the wielder]], meaning it gets much less cute in the hands of evil.

* Whenever Amy Rose is playable in the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' series, it typically looks cute. Her Piko-Piko hammer is an oversized novelty toy, but she can nevertheless smash robots to bits with it. She can hover by spinning it around into a copter-esque motion, creates heart tornadoes, and her Team Blast has her join Cream and Big in an explosion of twirling, hearts, sparkles, glitter, and lots and lots of pink that [[GameBreaker cracks the game in two]]. While it's just one combat move, the similarly adorable Cream can launch her pet Chao Cheese to home in on enemies. She can also fly by flapping her bunny ears, which is as comical as it is precious.

* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'': One power of particular note is the pink haired Sailor Chibi Moon's "Pink Sugar Heart Attack" that's every bit as feminine as it sounds. In the 90's anime, it's also completely useless, though in the comics it was equal to any other Sailor attack (but still cute.)

* The magic used by Star of ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' revolves around sparkles, rainbows, animals, and just about anything else Star finds cute despite being extremely destructive. It's said to be solely because the wand [[ImaginationBasedSuperpower reflects the character of the wielder]], meaning it gets much less cute in the hands of evil.

* Damara Sinclair (Allure) of ''ComicBook/RelativeHeroes'' has her powers visually manifest by surrounding her with sparkles, making her hair float in a non-existent breeze, tinging her hair ends pink and giving her a pink aura. Her powers themselves are a mash up of CompellingVoice, EmotionBomb, {{Glamour}}, and LivingAphrodisiac which she hates as they leave her unsure of anyone's true feeling for her and because of how dangerously people can respond to the desire she inspires in them.

* Damara Sinclair (Allure) of ''ComicBook/RelativeHeroes'' has her powers visually manifest by surrounding her with sparkles, making the ends of her hair turn pink and all of it's magically untangled length float in a non-existent breeze and giving her a pink aura. Her powers themselves are a mash up of CompellingVoice, EmotionBomb, {{Glamour}}, and LivingAphrodisiac which she hates as they leave her unsure of anyone's true feeling for her and because of how dangerously people can respond to the desire she inspires in them.

* Julie Power from ''ComicBook/PowerPack'', like Karolina, flies leaving a rainbow trail, except colors are not as pastel, and form lines. In ''ComicBook/AvengersAcademy'' Julie came out as bi and '''[[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/4/47/Julie_Power_%28Earth-616%29_and_Karolina_Dean_%28Earth-616%29_001.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131002071150&format=original kissed Karolina flying in the sky with rainbow tails]]'''.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
** Riruka of Fullbringers has a power that focuses around trapping people in a dollhouse full of cutesy toys. She also has a cutesy-looking ray gun-like weapon that transforms anyone she shoots with it into a harmless plush toy.

** Orihime Inoue's attacks with fairies made from her hairpins. Granted, her offensive fairy looks like a wild-west outlaw but on paper it's an exceedingly feminine ability.

* Karolina Dean of the ''Comicbook/{{Runaways}}'' turns glittery and rainbow-colored when her powers are activated, and she can fire projectiles and make shields of the same color. She's fittingly the most traditionally feminine of the team.

This doesn't necessarily mean that the user is a girl, just that the power/s have a certain sort of girlyness to them. Sometimes the super cute power is parodied in-universe by showing itself to be useless, leading the other characters to exclaim "WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway". However, if the cutesy power is badass, then it falls under HeartIsAnAwesomePower.

** Riruka of Fullbringers, whose power focuses around trapping people in a dollhouse full of cutesy toys. She also has a cutesy-looking ray gun-like weapon that transforms anyone she shoots with it into a harmless plush toy.

* In ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', ''Kenny'' of all people gets powers like these when [[WholesomeCrossdresser he dresses up as a pretty princess]]. In the show, he becomes a {{Kawaisa}} anime girl who instantly charms other men with her extreme cuteness, while in [[VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth the video game]] he uses rainbows and unicorns to attack. {{Subverted|Trope}}, in that said unicorn can impale him rather brutally if he fails his commands.

** In ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'', before unleashing their [[SuperMode Rainbow Power]] attack on the Dazzlings, the Rainbooms battle the Dazzlings' spectral avatars with magical blasts depicted as showers of rainbows, diamonds, butterflies, and sparkles. [[TheoryOfNarrativeCausality The only reason these aren't enough]] to defeat the Dazzlings is because the movie's [[DecoyProtagonist real protagonist]] hasn't yet joined the battle. The final blow is a giant sparkly pony made of light, with flowing rainbow hair, blasting with a massive beam of light.

* Maria Renard in the ''VideoGame/{{Castlevania}}'' series starting with ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaRondoOfBlood uses her animal friends to attack, she just throws or directs their movements, contrasting with the usual Vampire Killer whip, she uses doves instead. Rather than crosses, holy water, or stopwatches as her subweapons, she has baby dragons, a turtle shell, and even sings off-key to make notes that damage enemies. Her adult incarnation in the PSP port of ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' rounds out the cuteness with owls instead and new Item Crashes, but she still looks somewhat girly doing so.

* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'': One power of particular note is the pink haired Sailor Chibi Moon's "Pink Sugar Heart Attack" that's every bit as feminine as it sounds. In the 90's anime, it's also completely useless.

** "Comicbook/{{Dazzler}}: [[FadSuper Disco Queen]]", whose mutant power is effectively to make shiny bright sparkling lights in time to music. In reality, her ability is turning sound into light and vice versa, which [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower has staggering implications]], but for the most part it's used for her disco image.

** In ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'', before unleashing their [[SuperMode Rainbow Power]] attack on the Dazzlings, the Rainbooms battle the Dazzlings' spectral avatars with magical blasts depicted as showers of rainbows, diamonds, butterflies, and sparkles. [[TheoryOfNarrativeCausality The only reason these aren't enough]] to defeat the Dazzlings is because the movie's [[DecoyProtagonist real protagonist]] hasn't yet joined the battle.

* The ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' episode "Meap-less in Seattle" has [[BigGood Meap]] and [[BigBad Mitch]] attacking each other with what [[TheHero Phineas]] describes as [[CutenessProximity "really cute death rays."]]

* E-Claire's primary power in ''Literature/PleaseDontTellMyParentsImASupervillan'' is to fog people's minds with cuteness. She's not altogether happy about this, since she really wanted her mother's power (fogging men's minds with lust), but it's actually surprisingly powerful.
