* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has an episode revolving around an actual, working wishing well. One of the wishers was a small boy who was being bullied. He got super-streangth, along with [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor a bad temper]].

* Cameron from ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles''. She looks like a perfectly benign, cute, harmless teenager.... right up until [[SuperStrength she rips the door off a car, punches through a solid concrete wall]] [[ThereWasADoor (she could have gone through the door, but the wall was faster)]], [[ImmuneToBullets wade through torrents of gunfire]], [[SuperToughness and isn't even harmed when she's crushed between two big rig trucks.]]

** While not a superheroine/villainess, Sam Puckett is widely acknowledged as the toughest kid of either gender in her school, took down a bully twice her size and ripped the chain lock off a door when in pursuit of Freddie in "iKiss". Did I mention that she was towing a kid heavier than herself at a full run at the time and wasn't out of breath? Of course in both cases cited she was in UnstoppableRage mode at the time but still. As for the cute part, she's a teen and when she cleans up is quite easy on the eyes. However, asking her out may result in having your thumb broken...just ask [[TheWoobie Gibby]]

* ''[[Series/WonderWoman1975 Wonder Woman]]'': Creator/LyndaCarter was 37-25-36 and 125 pounds when she played Wonder Woman. And Wonder Woman stopped tanks with her bare hands ("Anschluss '77"), caught fired bakooza shells in mid air ("Beauty on Parade"), threw grown men three stories up a building ("The Man Who Could Not Die"), and threw robots across the desert ("The Return of Wonder Woman"). Cute? Check. Bruiser? Check, check, check, check, check!

* Male Example: Wyatt Halliwell from ''Series/{{Charmed}}''. Seriously, as a kid he's able to fight demons already. And the one time we see him fight as a young man he looks like one of the Backstreet Boys but is the destined [[spoiler:wielder of Excalibur]] and wipes out an entire room full of upper level demons just by raising his hands.
