* [[IncredibleHercules Hercules]] is usually portrayed this way in the MarvelUniverse (especially during his tenure in ''ComicBook/TheAvengers''). Notably, on one occasion he beat a supervillain to a pulp, went to a bar, got merrily drunk, and sang a song about how thoroughly he had beaten the bad guy. The bad guy then sued him for use of excessive force, with a video of the song used in evidence. Herc started singing along in the courtroom, and tried to get everyone else to join in. Hercules cheerfully bankrupted himself paying the damages, and then went off and got a job as a construction worker to pay his day-to-day bills. He then won (some of) his riches back in a poker game.
* Another Avengers-specific example is Hank [=McCoy=], the Beast, who was significantly more of a [[IncrediblyLamePun party animal]] and bruiser during those days than the mannered, cerebral GentleGiant he developed into after rejoining the ComicBook/{{X-Men}}. Shortly after Wonder Man returned to life, Hank went to visit him and ''instantly'' regressed into his Avengers persona. Apparently his friendship with Simon brings out this side of him.
* Similar to Beast, a third (and female) Avengers example could be [[SheHulk She-Hulk]]. Her solo series is usually more well-balanced, but when she's in a team environment, her fun-loving brawler side gets all the play.
* Volstagg the Voluminous, one of the Warriors Three who oft accompany TheMightyThor on his adventures.
* Dare we leave the '''[[{{Lobo}} Main Man]]''' out of the list? He might find a new use for that hook of his if we do.

* ''{{Lobo}}'' Dare we leave the '''Main Man''' out of the list? He might find a new use for that hook of his if we do.
* ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke ''
** Calamity Jane is portrayed this way. In her first story, [[TheBrute the villain's bodyguard]] says he can't enter an arm wrestling contest with her because she's a woman, but after hearing her [[SymbolSwearing grawlix]]-ridden response comes to the conclusion she's not actually a woman. (He doesn't stand a chance.)
** The album ''L'Artiste-peintre'' has Lucky Luke acting as bodyguard for famous WildWest painter [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_Remington Frederic Remington]], whom by all account was a real-life example of this trope. He's a BigEater who can devour ''18'' turkeys in one go (and asks for dessert). At least, when entering a saloon, he's polite enough to (loudly) asks whether the [[BarFight fight]] starts ''before'' or ''after'' the drinking. Oh, and telling him that [[RealMenWearPink painting is a woman's activity]] will inspire a hearty laugh, a mention that his parents always told him so... and a punch in the face.
* ''LukeCageHeroForHire'': Luke Cage aka Power Man never avoids a fight and loves to punctuate every punch with a little trash talk.
* In the ''MarvelApes '' miniseries, the super-ape called Ape X was the epitome of this trope.

* Guido, a.k.a. [[MeaningfulName Strong Guy]] turned this into a form of art when he joined Comicbook/{{X-Factor}}.
* One of those female Bruisers is Plourr Illo from the ''XWingSeries'' comics. She's a pilot, but the Bruiser-ness shows much more clearly when she's on the ground. She's mildly insulting to her wingmates, [[AmazonianBeauty big and muscular]], and ''loves'' fighting. At one point a teammate tells her that they're [[http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/8443/blz07.jpg trying to keep a low profile]], and she says "I'll make you a deal. I won't beat on any of the resident scum unless they hit me first--or they pick on my friends--or I feel like it!" "Fair enough," her teammate says. She's also a princess with a backstory and arc inspired by the myth of Anastasia, but this doesn't damp her down.
* ''SinCity'': Marv, though he ''only'' seems to be chipper when he's perpetrating or planning violence. Mickey Rourke, the actor who plays Marv in the movie, was said to have "lumbered into the room practically taking out the door jamb", according to FrankMiller, and he wrote down the single note: "Met Mickey Rourke. He IS Marv."
