* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': While most of the time Penny simply manipulates her blades, when she actually does get moving she both moves fast and hits ''hard''. She has the physical strength to stop vehicles with her bare hands and even pull planes out of the sky and she can boost her speed in an almost rocket-boost style fashion when she needs to. She is the first character to genuinely put [[TheAce Pyrrha]] on the defensive in battle. [[spoiler:Penny is secretly a combat robot, the first artificial being capable of generating Aura. As a result, she is phenomenal in terms of speed, strength and toughness. She is only defeated by accident; when Pyrrha is tricked into using her full magnetism Semblance, Penny loses control over her blades which are controlled by wires. The wires wrap around Penny's body and pull tight, garotting her in multiple places, tearing her to shreds.]]

** [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Adam]] [[BastardBoyfriend Taurus]] is supernaturally fast, even for the standards of the series, seemingly teleporting at times and even leaving after-images as he moves despite his Semblance having no relation to his speed. But what truly elevates him from the other fast-moving characters of RWBY is how he hits like a ''freight train''. Thanks to his Semblance, Adam is capable of dishing out huge amounts of damage in a [[SingleStrokeBattle single strike]] and releasing devastating waves of energy capable of slicing a giant robot in half. And, even when he is not using his Semblance, he is still easily capable of physically overpowering strength-based opponents like [[MightyGlacier Yang]]. It eventually takes [[spoiler: both Blake and Yang fighting him together to finally take him down. And he ''still'' breaks both of their Auras before they kill him.

** There's also [[TheBrute Mercury Black]], given he is Yang's EvilCounterpart. He's evidently strong enough to handle Yang and Pyrrha while holding back (with Pyrrha he was merely testing her abilities, with Yang he was setting her up for a DeliberateInjuryGambit). He's also fast enough to hit Ruby while she's using her SuperSpeed Semblance, and he's tough enough to tank a two-handed sword strike from Yatsuhashi of Team CFVY.

Ruby is faster than most, but not stronger or tougher. Mercury is shown to be a good all-rounder, but it's strongly implied he had to pull out of the fight with Pyrrha because of his secret weakness and his other fights were against people who don't show us that he has everyone else beat on all three requirements. Penny, on the other hand, is indicated to be rather unique and therefore does apply.


* Ruby Rose from ''Webanimation/{{RWBY}}'' is capable of moving so fast that her tailwind has enough force to crack a wall and slam the members of team JNPR into it. She also wields a [[MixAndMatchWeapon sniper-scythe]] that can split a 2-meter tall wolf-monster in twain, and uses its recoil to add to her speed.
** [[TheBrute Mercury]] [[{{Jerkass}} Black]] is one of the most physically imposing and athletic villains to appear on the show thus far. Not only does he pretty much toy with [[TheAce Pyrrha]] and [[TheBigGuy Yang]] in his fights against them and he's strong enough to tank a sword swipe from [[GentleGiant Yatsuhashi]], but he's also so fast he can intercept Ruby mid-FlashStep.

Now that I think about it, Blake can't be a Lightning Bruiser, since she isn't notably strong compared to other characters. Yang is comparatively slow to other characters, which showed in the fights against Neo and Neon.


** Her older sister, Yang Xiao Long is presumably the physically strongest member of Team RWBY, and able to beat down on a HumongousMecha with her bare fists. She is also fast enough to dodge a hail of bullets, as seen in the Yellow trailer. Her Semblance involves becoming more powerful with each blow she takes.
** Blake, despite being perceived as a FragileSpeedster. Unlike Ruby, her agility comes from her natural ability. She is strong enough to kick Roman Torchwick unconscious and carry the [[spoiler:larger Yang over her shoulder, even while mortally wounded]]. And she is extremely durable, even without her Aura ([[spoiler:she not only survives being stabbed in the stomach, she is capable of using her Semblance in a way that she'd never been able to use it before, and carrying Yang over her shoulder and running from Adam]]).
