* A [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever literal]] [[OurTitansAreDifferent titan]] does this with a boulder ''roughly bigger than itself'' in ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''. bonus points for the boulder being a symbolic macguffin. to explain, [[spoiler:[[http://shingekinokyojin.wikia.com/wiki/File:Eren_carries_the_boulder.png Titan!Eren]] has to carry a boulder to cover a hole in the breached wall to prevent other titans from coming in. while other characters comment on how important this task (and the boulder) is in retaking the Trost district.]]

* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': This pose is one of the iconic images of Superman. [[https://d29xot63vimef3.cloudfront.net/image/superman/28-1.jpg Superman #28]] in 1944 even features a status of Atlas himself. (including #28, where he seems to be helping out a statue of Atlas himself!). Discussed in the novelisation of ''Film/SupermanReturns'' where Jimmy describes him catching the Daily Planet globe as "Atlas holding up the world", but the scene, like the iconic Action Comics #1 cover, technically are not Atlas Poses because he is only holding onto the weight with his hands. Compare with [[https://youtu.be/g32OeSwxPJ4?t=97 the island scene]] in the same film, which is closer to the pose.



* ''ComicBook/SecretWars1984'': The fourth issue cover has Hulk holding up a mountain that's been dropped on the heroes, with most of the other unconscious. He's the only thing standing between them and one hundred fifty billion tons of rock, and he's not happy.
