In Exalted, which draws upon not only high power anime and wuxia but also epic classical myths such as Hercules holding up the sky, she would spontaneously Exalt as a Chosen of the Unconquered Sun, have a chance of succeeding, and get bonus dice for trying, at least with a cool description.
"I stand on a mountain, wind blowing through my hair and dress, ready with my baseball bat to save Creation via the ultimate home run. Yes, I'm trying to parry the meteor. What do I roll?"
"Two extra dice for the environmental stunt."
(Clarification: I have no evidence that the cartoonist had Exalted in mind. It just fits.)
