* The titular ''Webcomic/{{Crankrats}}'' were mortally wounded soldiers (and one kid injured in an air ride) [[WeCanRebuildHim patched up with contraptions]] that made them sort of a {{steampunk}} Iron Men with power of lightning on their fingertips. Most of them went PsychoElectro and had to be disposed of. Who would have foreseen this...

* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': It's mentioned that the {{magical girl}} Pop Blitz has "[[http://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-5-page-8 zappy powers]]" that she's still getting a handle on. When Undine is looking for a new team to join, this is part of the reason that Team Blitz has to turn her down -- they'd love to have her, but her [[MakingASplash water powers]] and Pop Blitz's barely-controlled electricity would make for a poor combination.
