History Main / SuperSmoke

* Scorcher from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' has this power, and can even sink into your throat to make you choke.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'' had Sootinai, a smoke based spirit that absorbs fire smoke to become more powerful.

* The green ''jinn'' of ''Pinball/MagicGirl'' have magic smoke where their legs should be.

This trope also applies to any other creative uses of smoke besides turning oneself into it through VoluntaryShapeshifting, generally being able to manipulate it is fitting enough.

* Joseph from ''Anime/MobPsycho100'' uses his esper abilities to manipulate smoke through a technique he calls "White Noise", it is able to solidify smoke clouds into thick walls.

* Bram Stoker's ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'' is certainly the most well-known example of a vampire with the power to turn into mist.

* ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'': U-Foes member Vapor can transform into any known gas, usually the most lethally poisonous she can imagine while invading an opponent's body. Vapor can transform into her fully human state for only brief periods, and is vulnerable to having her gaseous form scattered by strong winds or explosive force.

* The three Mists in ''ComicBook/StarmanDCComics'' all have this power.

* The three Mists in ''ComicBook/{{Starman}}'' all have this power.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' villain Red Cloud can transform into a cloud of red mist.

* ''ComicBook/XMen'': Amelia Voght of Magneto's Acolytes. She can also do this to other objects, including people. At a range, and the means by which she does this isn't visible; no ray to block or avoid or something. It appears that part of the power is that she has to reform her target, whether it's herself or others - she could conceivably turn someone to vapor and never turn them back, a GameBreaker power of ''long-range instant death that can't be blocked, avoided, or resisted,'' but she's not the type to do that, ''thankfully.'' Again, it has been theorized that she ''has'' to bring things back eventually, as evidenced by a darker, alternate version of her killing by transforming the ''air'' around a victim into whatever her vapor is made of and waiting for suffocation to take place (instead of just willing that the victim go 'poof' forever, and having it happen.) At any rate, as she uses it, it's essentially a form of FlashyTeleportation.

* Francis Ford Coppola's ''Film/BramStokersDracula'' is one of the few cinematographic adaptations faithful enough to have the title vampire turning into mist before slipping into Mina's bedroom or Renfield's cell.
* ''Film/DraculaDeadAndLovingIt'', being surprisingly well-researched for a parody movie, includes Dracula turning into fog.

* ''Film/SonOfDracula'' has vampires that can travel by turning themselves into a mist.

* The ''Eneiken Noroshi'' wielded by Kamen Rider Sabela in ''Series/KamenRiderSaber'' grants its user power over smoke, manifesting as both the ability to manipulate smoke and to gain smoke-based {{Intangibility}}.

* This is a standard power for [[OurGeniesAreDifferent Djinns, Efreets and other Genies]]. Turning into smoke is often the prerequisite for exiting from (or slipping into) [[GenieInABottle tiny lamps or bottles]]. This led to the common representation of Genies [[FogFeet lacking legs]], the lower body being still vaporous while the upper body is solid.

* One power that Kain earns in ''Blood Omen'' and keeps throughout the ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'' games is the ability to turn into mist to pass through portcullis and grates.

** Several spells and magical items allow this, notably the ''potion of gaseous form'', the ''wind walk'' spell, etc.

* One of the earlier monsters from ''Anime/TheUltraman'', Red Smogy, a monster made from red alien smog (yeah, ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin...) who can transform between smog and monster form at will. It does have a WeaksauceWeakness, where it's smog form can be dispersed if exposed to water and forced back into monster form, which Ultraman Joneus exploits in the final battle by dragging it into a dam.

* ''ComicBook/ImmortalIronFist'' reintroduced classic pulp era character John Aman as the mysterious Prince of Orphans. His most notable ability was turning into a green mist that could still partially solidify and attack people.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLittlePrince2010'', [[BigBad the Snake]] can turn into black smoke at will. This means he's completely impossible to confront physically; the Little Prince's efforts are entirely toward thwarting his plans, not fighting him.
