On a Superpowered Date, a character with access to extraordinary powers of some sort uses these abilities to take a current or potential romantic partner on an extraordinary evening out. Why settle for dancing in the moonlight when your Superpower Lottery winner lover can take you dancing on the moon? (With no pesky asphyxiation!) The powers can be of any nature, so long as they go beyond what a Muggle in the setting can do, and do not need to be innate - effects granted by magical artifacts or highly advanced technology qualify. A Superpowered Date is often a Grand Romantic Gesture, and one that's hard to outshine when it's pulled off well. For this reason, it can be a powerful tactic for impressing potential partners - at the very least, it should get their attention. It can also be considered the G rated counterpart of Power Perversion Potential. |

In Megamind, Hal attempts this with Roxanne after becoming Titan, but he comes on too strong and only succeeds in driving her away, especially after he attempts to "rescue" her by dropping her and catching her just before she hits the ground. | |

An issue of Cracked featured Super People, a superhero parody of People magazine. One article explained how to have an exceptionally cheap date using your Flying Brick superpowers. The night starts with using Super-Strength and Super-Speed to break into a theater and repair the damage while your date is distracted. The only expense for the night is bringing your own popcorn and using Eye Beams to cook it in a large garbage can. The popcorn, along with free sodas beaten out of the vending machine, help deceive your date into thinking you're very generous. After the movie, you fly her home to save on gas. Finally, at her doorstep, you use your Super-Breath in reverse to suck out all the local air, causing her to briefly faint and assume you have super-kissing powers. | |

In an issue of Adventure Comics, he and Cassie Sandsmark have a romantic dinner on an outdoor picnic bench...which he levitates into the air using his Telekinesis. |

Smallville: Clark taking Lana to the Fortress of Solitude to create a diamond from coal and then make a wedding ring qualifies as this trope. Lana dies, and to prevent the circumstances of her death Clark reverses time, creating a timeline where this date never happened. | |

Downplayed in Avatar: The Last Airbender once in the second season - After having dinner with the girl-of-the-day Jin, she pulls Zuko to a plaza with many dead lanterns. She mentions that the lanterns used to be pretty when lit. Not wanting to upset her, Zuko orders her to close her eyes, then he uses his firebending to lit all the lanterns (he's going incognito at the time). This impresses her enough that she goes to kiss him - and Zuko stops and run away. Downplayed because she's covering her eyes while he firebends. | |

In The Last Olympian, Percy and Annabeth are promptly tossed into a lake by their friends when they started kissing. Percy, being the son of Poseidon, turned it into a prolonged underwater kiss.

Bruce Almighty: They're not on a date, since they're just at home, but Bruce uses his divine powers to create a new breed of flowers, to command romantic music to play, and then to rearrange the night sky to make it look nicer. He erased clouds, created and erased stars, and then pulled the moon closer to the Earth, before the two of them retreat to the bedroom for some "heavenly" sex. Not a bad night in. Later on in the film, when Bruce takes Grace to the restaurant where they first went out, and uses his powers to get Tony Bennett to sing there. | |

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: A one-episode "rule of witch society" in the first season was that Friday the 13ths allow relaxing the Masquerade for the benefit of witches with mortal friends and loved ones. Sabrina takes Harvey and Jenny to a fair set up with magic-based attractions. (Jenny gets a dance with Drew Carey.) There are a number of presumed mixed couples in the background of the episode as well. | |
