Zappies (as named by Nickel) are a type of power/weapon that, so far, has only been used by Four and X where a large white energy beam is fired from the user's hands. Four usually uses it on anyone who attacks him, criticizes him, or does anything to make him upset. Same goes for X. The zappies have been used in "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", "Four Goes Too Far", "What Do You Think of Roleplay?", "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", "Outbreak At Stake", "Oneirophobe's Nightmare", "Out Of The Blue", and "Category One".
When he uses it on someone, the target slowly loses health, similar to how health is lost in a video game.
