Today's tropes is the Megaton Punch
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MegatonPunch

A punch so strong it doesn't just send its target across the room; it sends them across town, or to another state, or even another country. Sometimes reaching Low Earth Orbit and vanishing as A Twinkle in the Sky.

This is usually an adaptation of a one-panel gag the animators end up having fun with, although the usual treatment is to make it so over the top that it's not mistaken for real violence.

so this is kind of a hard one to vote for given how it's written, so maybe the easiest thing would be to vote for characters that use this trope? Unless there are specific one-off scenes that embody it4

I'll accept either
