* ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'': The original line-up provided an interesting take on this trope. Technically, ''all'' the members weren't limited to staying on the ground. Iron Man and the Wasp could fly, Ant-Man could get around by riding on winged ants, Thor could throw his hammer and hang on to the strap and be pulled along, and the Hulk could take giant leaps.
