Energy beams are a staple in action-packed anime series, where characters usually concentrate their energy to fire beams from their hands, eyes, or other parts of the body.

Like other anime powers on this list, the mechanics behind energy beams vary depending on the series and the context.

Some of the characters have enhanced brain functions, while others can credit their superior intelligence to genetic mutations, technological improvements, or training and experience.

Super intelligence does not always imply that a character is intelligent; it can also allude to their unusual ability to deduce information that would appear foreign in the real world.
