* 16th President of The United States of America ''UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln'' was famously a tall man with his 6'3 feet. His wife Mary Todd was only 5'2.

* ''16th President of The United States of America ''UsefullNotes/AbrahamLincoln'' was famously a tall man with his 6'3 feet. His wife Mary Todd was only 5'2.

* ''Series/MaxAndPaddysRoadToNowhere'', had an exaggerated version of this with Max(played by the quite tall and fat Creator/PeterKay) and his ex-girlfriend Tina, who has dwarfism. Tina's height was actually the subject of mean jokes back when Max and Tina were dating, [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend prompting Max to punch anyone who made those jokes]]. Sadly, Max himself wasn't above making such jokes, and it cost him his relationship with Tina when she overheard him letting his bouncer mates be rude about her(and left him before he headbutted one of them for going too far). Nowadays, Tina still fits this trope with her husband Kevin Wolfson/"The Wolfster".

* During ''{{Literature/Dinoverse}}'', eighth graders become dinosaurs. [[AlphaBitch Candacye Chambers]] becomes a pig-sized Leptoceratops, while the two boys she's with become an Ankylosaurus and a UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex, respectively. YourSizeMayVary, but she does climb on top of Bertram's shell and leaps into Mike's tiny arms at various points. Candayce is also considerably smaller than [[PteroSoarer Janine]]. Once they all return home, she's back to being a tall, leggy girl.

[[ActionDuo In an action series]], the guy may ''look'' big enough to break his girl like a toothpick, but she's likely to be [[WaifFu just as deadly as her man]].

* Ambrose and Ermengarde in the film ''Film/HelloDolly'', played by 6'7 Tommy Tune and the 4'10 Joyce Ames. At one point they're dancing and he lifts her off her feet to disguise her short height (making her less notable to her [[OverprotectiveDad Overprotective Uncle]] sitting nearby).

* In both the source material and anime adaptation of ''LightNovel/GrimoireOfZero'', Mercenary towers over Zero, and frequently carries her around on his shoulder. In the opening to the anime, he literally picks her up and throws her into the air.

* Gru and his daughters in ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'', but specially Agnes, who is barely bigger than his head. His eventual partner Lucy Wilde counts, as she's waifish compared to Gru's bulky frame and only manages to stand taller than Gru with [[CombatStilettos huge heels]] (and his hunch helps, as seen when [[https://besthqwallpapers.com/Uploads/28-6-2017/16137/thumb2-minions-grew-lucy-wilde-dru-gru-despicable-me-3.jpg his normal-postured brother enters the fray]]).

** Sakurai (5'11") is noted as being fairly tall (180cm) and is the tallest character in the main cast, though Asai senior is only slightly shorter than him. Uzaki, on the other hand, is ''extremely'' short, to the point that, when Asai senior first meets her, most of her body is hidden by the counter he's kneeling behind, and he mistakes her for being in middle school, when she's actually 19 and in college. He realises his mistake when he stands up and sees [[GagBoobs the rest of her]]...

He realises his mistake when he stands up and sees [[GagBoobs the rest of her]]...

** Due to limitations, game graphics weren't able to show the actual size of Turians, but if Garrus' scale figure is anything to go by he's about 7 feet tall, which would most definitely give him this dynamic with female Shepard (herself only about 5'3") who can romance him as well.

** Due to limitations, game graphics weren't able to show the actual size of Turians, but if Garrus' scale figure is anything to go by he's about 7 feet tall, which would most definitely give him this dynamic with female Shepard who has romanced him as well.

%%* Gru and Agnes from ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe''.

* Jaws (7'2) and his girlfriend, Dolly, in ''Film/{{Moonraker}}''. There was some concern about audiences accepting the height difference until Richard Kiel pointed out his ''[[RealLife real-life wife]]'' was the same height.
%%* Film/{{Hellboy|2004}} (6'1) and Liz (5'4).

* Nozomu and Rino from ''Manga/MyGirlfriendWithoutWasabi'' (and its parent series ''Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying''), the former being slightly above average height and the latter [[OlderThantheyLook looking like she's eight]]. One of Nozomu's main fears during the time they were dating was that he would end up being MistakenForPedophile.

** Comicbook/SwampThing (6'10") [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/61/SwampThing22.jpg/250px-SwampThing22.jpg and his wife]], Abigail Holland nee Arcane (5'7").

** In ''[[Comicbook/CrystarCrystalWarrior The Saga of Crystar, Crystal Warrior,]]'' the wizard Ogeode is of normal height, and his warrior woman wife Shen is a dwarf.

** Hector and Florina's ending in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken]]'' could qualify. [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v139/VincentASM/Site/FE7/56.png Judge for yourself.]]

*** ''Radiant Dawn'' takes the HoYay between Ike and Soren to [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend canonical proportions]]... and Ike towers over Soren. Also, there's Sothe and Micaiah.
*** Any of GentleGiant Arden's pairings in ''Seisen no Keifu'', especially with the [[FragileSpeedster Pegasus Knight Fury]] or the [[ActionMom Swordswoman Ayra]]
*** Also, in ''The Sacred Stones'', Gilliam/Syrene, Ross and Amelia, and the mentoring/father-daughter bond between Amelia and Duessel. L'Arachel and Dozla is a non-romantic example as well... more in muscles since according to a support conversation with Ewan, Dozla is shorter than most.
*** ''Hasha no Tsurugi'', the AlternateContinuity manga of ''Fūin no Tsurugi'' has [[spoiler: [[MightyGlacier Gant]] and [[RebelliousPrincess Celdia]]]]. [[OfficialCouple Becomes official]] [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue at the end]] and overlaps with HotSkittyOnWailordAction, since they have ''eight'' kids together.
*** In ''Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi'', you can pair up Lilina (Roy's childhood friend and one of his love interests) with the GentleGiant Gonzales.

** Chain of Memories gives us a [[HeterosexualLifePartners non-romantic]] (or [[HoYay romantic]], if you ship that way) example with Lexaeus and Zexion. Lexaeus is easily the largest humanoid character in the series, while Zexion is only slightly taller than the teenage characters.

* Webcomic/ManalaNextDoor: Jacob is big enough to carry his girlfriend Nini on his shoulders.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' had Kole (5'6) and G'Nark.

* Mal Duncan (6'1) and Karen Beecher (5'7) in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''. Exacerbated by the fact that their superhero identities, Guardian and Bumblebee, are a hulking BadassNormal in armor and a yellow-and-black-garbed ''IncredibleShrinkingMan''.

* In ''{{Literature/Twisted}}'', Clare is a petite human woman, while Railrunner is an anthropomorphic roller coaster that's over twenty feet long and weighs several thousand pounds.

* Kazuya Kujo (174 cm/5ft 9) and Victorique de Blois (152.4 cm/5ft) from ''LightNovel/{{Gosick}}''

** ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' has one instance when Sousuke (5'9") was piloting the Arbalest while carrying Kaname (5'5") in one hand and Kurz in the other. She was rather enjoying herself until he suddenly threw her into the air to free up one arm for attacking and then caught her on the way down. Needless to say, she didn't appreciate it.
* While Deunan in ''Manga/{{Appleseed}}'' is actually rather tall compared to most women and quite strong, Briareos can only be described as huge. Next to him, Deunan does look rather tiny. They also venture into the BeastAndBeauty territory thanks to Briareos being a [[HollywoodCyborg full-body cyborg]].

* ''Manga/OldBoy'': At least in the manga version, protagonist Shinichi Goto and his girlfriend Eri. He's significantly taller and more heavily built. Her habit of hanging onto his side emphasizes the [[http://view.thespectrum.net/series/oldboy-volume-01.html?ch=Volume+01&page=57 size difference]].

* Ryuuji (5'8"), the hero of ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}'', is about average-sized; it's [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend the heroine]] Taiga (4'8.5") that's short. Played up for laughs in the first chapters of the manga, but eventually moves on to the OneHeadTaller range. She also puts the Tsun in {{Tsundere}} -- the school is terrified of her, and calls her "The Palmtop Tiger".
* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'': Lina Inverse and Gourry Gabriev, at (153 cm/5ft) and (190 cm/6ft 3). There's official art of her sitting on his [[ShouldersOfDoom shoulder]] like a parrot.

* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' has a platonic example: In later novels, Shizuo [[IntergenerationalFriendship winds up befriending a 10-year-old]] [[MafiaPrincess Yakuza Princess]] named Akane. Given a charitable estimate, Akane probably grazes 122 cm (4'0"). In contrast, Shizuo is 185 cm (6'1"). Side-by-side, [[http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/CapZiggy/05_006-008.jpg she reaches only up to his waist]].

** Bypassing gender, we've also got ''LightNovel/FateZero'''s OddCouple [[http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Image:FZ_v03_00o.jpg Alexander the Great (6'11) and Waver Velvet (5'2)]] stretching this about as far as adult human proportions can go, with Alex having about two feet (55 cm, to be exact) and 80 kg (176 lbs.) on Waver.
** Ironically, Waver winds up on the other side of this trope after a [[IGotBigger belated but very dramatic growth spurt]] between ''LightNovel/FateZero'' and ''LightNovel/LordElMelloiIICaseFiles'' that puts him at 186 cm (6'1")--a full head and shoulders over his 154 cm (5'0") apprentice, Gray.

* ''Manga/TheAncientMagusBride'' features this with the two titular characters; Chise (5'1) is a 16-year-old Japanese girl whose smallness and frailty are mentioned fairly frequently, whereas Elias (6'7), her skull-faced "fiancé", towers a few feet above nearly every other character in the series, even without the horns. Highlighted whenever they hug or he picks her up. Highlighted further when he [[spoiler:transforms into a giant monster that easily fills an entire room]].
* In ''Manga/{{Beastars}}'', Haru (3'4.8) the bunny stands at the height of Legosi (6'2) the wolf's waist.
* In ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', the exceptionally tall and muscular protagonist Guts has a tendency to form [[IntergenerationalFriendship intergenerational friendships]] with small-statured teenage girls he meets on his journeys. [[NaiveEverygirl Jill]], who serves as his MoralityPet during the "Lost Children" arc, is one example. He definitely has this dynamic with the young witch [[BadassAdorable Schierke (3'11)]], who supports him in combat with her magic and clings to him in her astral form in order to keep him from losing his mind while he's enclosed in the Berserker Armor. In both of these cases, the girl has a PrecociousCrush on Guts, while his feelings fall under BigBrotherInstinct.

* ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'': Kuwabara (191 cm/6'3)and his crush Yukina. Her height is never given but she is visibly smaller than her brother Hiei, who stands at 147 cm (4'10).
** From the same series is Younger Toguro (9'0) and his ex-girlfriend Genkai. The former easily towers over nearly everyone, and was about a head and shoulders taller than Yusuke when still human, while the latter tops out around the height of a 12-year-old even into old age.

** Their voice actors/actresses make an even better example. Takuya Eguchi (188cm/6ft 2) and Creator/AoiYuuki (145cm/4ft 10)

* ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'': Hikaru (4'9) only comes up to Lantis's waist, but then Creator/{{CLAMP}} has always been a bit silly about proportions.

*** Absurdly tall and thickly built (yet still Bishonen?) male characters seem to be fairly common in works by CLAMP overall. You could probably fill a quarter of this page with examples.

** Emperor Dornkirk invokes an image of Van's (5'5) [[Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne Escaflowne]] being guided by Hitomi's prophetic abilities to take over the world in one of his visions. This doesn't happen so explicitly but that's what happens throughout the series.
*** And for a straight-up example instead of the GiantRobot variant, we have Hitomi (160 cm/5ft 2) and Allen (185 cm/6ft 1)
** Similarly, Hayase and Hikaru (5'11) get to pull this off near the end of ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'', which Hikaru piloting (obviously).
** Various ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' entries did this a lot more than once. I.e: Kamille (5'6), his Gundam and Kamille's partner Fa in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]''.

** ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' has one instance when Sousuke (5'9) was piloting the Arbalest while carrying Kaname (5'5) in one hand and Kurz in the other. She was rather enjoying herself until he suddenly threw her into the air to free up one arm for attacking and then caught her on the way down. Needless to say, she didn't appreciate it.

* Konata's (4'8) parents in ''Manga/LuckyStar'', since her mother Kanata (4'8) was [[OlderThanTheyLook Older Than She Looked]] by a wide margin, and her dad Soujirou (5'11) is kind of a ComedicLolicon.

* ''Manga/DragonBall'' invokes it between Chi-chi (5'4) and her father (over 13 feet), the aptly named "Ox King".

* In ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'', [[BadassLongcoat Vash (5'11)]] is almost a foot taller than [[{{Tsundere}} Meryl (4'11)]] and has to really bow down when he wants to hug her, especially in the manga.

* Michel Blanc (5'11) and Kuran Kuran (around 48') from ''Anime/MacrossFrontier''. That is, if Kuran isn't Micloned. If she does, the trope is played straight instead, as she looks [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld much smaller and younger]] than her real age.
* An example with two males: Jin Akutsu (6'0) and Taichi Dan (4'10) from ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis''. There's also Miyuki Chitose and either her older brother Senri (6'4) or [[BigBrotherMentor "thief-bro" Tezuka (5'10)]], as well as Munehiro Kabaji (6'3) and his (unnamed) older sister...
* ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'': Rosette (5'4) and Chrono (5'1) don't look like this at first, and might even look like an [[TinyGuyHugeGirl inversion]], but the cute little boy thing is just his SleepModeSize -- In his real form, Chrono (7'0) completely towers over the girl.
* ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'': Misao (4'10.5) isn't much shorter than Kaoru (5'1), making her closer to average height for a girl her age. But Aoshi's (5'11) so tall and lanky, that she looks like a kid when standing next to him.

* Manga/InuYasha's (5'6) older half-brother [[NobleDemon Sesshomaru (5'9)]] sort of acquired (or adopted) [[MoralityPet Rin (4'3)]], an eight-year-old girl. Sesshomaru's humanoid form looks nineteen. (His true form is... [[{{Kaiju}} much larger]].)
** Inu-Yasha's mother (5'2) and father (6'5). He visits his father's grave and enters his father's remains and has room in his chest to both move around and fight his brother. We see his mother in a flashback and she was a normal-sized human lady. Even in his human size, the father is noticeably taller than she is.
** Likewise for Sesshoumaru's mother (5'7), who even in her dog demon form is much smaller than his and Inu-Yasha's father.

** Sweden (5'11.6) and Finland (5'7) are both men, with Sweden being much taller (''at least'' by 12 cm/5 in, according to Finland in one strip).
** Germany (5'11) and North Italy (5'8), with the latter having difficulty even ''hugging'' the former.
** The most blatant example is England (5'9) and America (5'9.6). Both {{fanon}} dōjinshi ''and'' canon (in the strips) ''greatly'' exaggerate their already existing height difference; technically, America is just .75" (2 cm) taller, but England is drawn much shorter than he truly is (he and 5'9 France are around the same height, according to the charts, but France is drawn taller). This is ''sort'' of {{justified|Trope}} when one thinks about just how much bigger the US is than the UK...

%%** We also have [[PsychopathicManchild Russia (5'11.6)]] and [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld China (5'6.5)]]. See [[http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b369/miscel/Hetalia/10701801_m.jpg this]] [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/kafka000/russiaXchina%20collection/16ad4f47637db5286b63e58f.jpg and]] [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/kafka000/russiaXchina%20collection/aec395c8e4e2cb377f3e6fe9.jpg this.]]
%%*** Russia is also implied to have feelings for Japan (5'5), who's even ''shorter''.
*** Russia's sister [[BrotherSisterIncest and]] {{stalker| with a crush}} [[{{Yandere}} Belarus (5'3)]] is at least 20 cm/ 8in shorter. She's also svelte while he's a HuskyRusskie.
** South Korea, as the tallest of the Asians (apparently tall enough to stand eye-to-eye with ''America''), has these dynamics with almost everyone in the group. [[http://imageftw.com/uploads/20111123/16623816_m.jpg China]] [[http://imageftw.com/uploads/20111123/14073302_m.jpg is the]] [[http://imageftw.com/uploads/20111123/13603067_m.jpg biggest]] [[http://imageftw.com/uploads/20111123/12093500_m.jpg example]] but there's also [[http://imageftw.com/uploads/20111123/21067269_m.jpg Taiwan (4'9)]] and [[http://imageftw.com/uploads/20111123/8374501_m.jpg Hong Kong]] (sometimes).

* Ryuuji (5'8), the hero of ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}'', is about average-sized; it's [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend the heroine]] Taiga (4'8.5) that's short. Played up for laughs in the first chapters of the manga, but eventually moves on to the OneHeadTaller range. She also puts the Tsun in {{Tsundere}} -- the school is terrified of her, and calls her "The Palmtop Tiger".

* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': 6'3 Li Xingke (24) and 4'8 Empress Tianzi (13). This was a romantic relationship, at least for Tianzi. She was even about to be married to Prince Odysseus who looks to at least be in his thirties until Zero stopped the marriage ceremony.
** How about 5'1 Kaguya (14)[[note]][[OlderThanTheyLook And could easily pass for 10]][[/note]] who engaged herself to 5'10 Lelouch (17)?

* Non-Romantic example: ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'''s Alucard (6'3) is far taller than Seras Victoria.

* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' has a platonic example: In later novels, Shizuo [[IntergenerationalFriendship winds up befriending a 10-year-old]] [[MafiaPrincess Yakuza Princess]] named Akane. Given a charitable estimate, Akane probably grazes 122 cm (4'0). In contrast, Shizuo is 185 cm (6'1). Side-by-side, [[http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/CapZiggy/05_006-008.jpg she reaches only up to his waist]].

* Another non-romantic example can be found in ''Anime/SoltyRei''. Roy Revant is 197 cm (6'6) and muscular, while his adoptive daughter Solty is 153 cm (5'0) and slender.

* In ''Manga/OnePiece'' the late Mermaid Queen (7'4) was a human-sized mermaid who was incredibly fragile. Her husband King Neptune (40') is a giant merman. [[spoiler:Their daughter the Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi (38'11) takes after her mother in looks but takes after her father in size]]. The fact that [[spoiler:the Mermaid Queen being able to survive giving birth to a giant]] isn't the weirdest thing in ''One Piece'' says all that needs to be said about the series. Mainly that it is awesome.

* An extreme example occurs in ''Manga/ChoujinGakuen'', where the male lead, Adam Shinjou, is about 1.8 m (5'11) tall, and the female lead, Oska L. Duke is... 61 cm (2 feet) tall. Ironically, Oska is the older of the two, [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld by a wide margin.]] [[BadassAdorable She's also much stronger than he is.]]
* ''Anime/SacredSeven'': Like many other tropes taken to ridiculous extremes, Alma is (195cm/6'4) to Ruri's (144cm/4'9).
* ''Manga/SlamDunk'': Any important male character (except 5'6 Miyagi) when paired with any of the few female characters in the show. It's completely justified though since they're all basketball players, so most of them are 6ft or over.

* The anime canon of ''Anime/Persona4TheAnimation'' has Kanji and his interest in [[spoiler: Naoto]]. Yosuke (175cm/5'9) and Narukami (180cm/5'11) are roughly the same height, and the same can be said of Chie (158cm/5'2), Rise (155cm/5'1) and Yukiko (164cm/5'5) (who are about a head shorter than the first two). Meanwhile, Kanji (183cm/6'0) [[NotDrawnToScale tends to be drawn roughly one to one and a half heads taller]] than Narukami and Yosuke, [[spoiler: Naoto (152cm/5'0)]] is about a head to a head and a half shorter than the rest of the female cast... ''while wearing platformed boots.''

* Nozaki and Sakura are the tallest and shortest members of the cast of ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'', respectively. Specifically, they're ''one foot and a half apart'' in height; [[{{Hunk}} Nozaki]] clocks in at 190cm (6'3), unusually tall for a Japanese person, while Sakura is at 145cm (4'10), at the low end of Japanese normalcy.
* Takeo and Yamato from ''Manga/MyLoveStory''. He is 2 meters (6'7) tall and she just barely reaches his chest.

* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': [[AmbiguouslyBi Reiner (6'2)]] and [[TheQuietOne Bertolt (6'4)]], the two tallest members of the 104th Trainee Corps, [[UnreliableExpositor may]] have romantic interests in the two shortest girls in the Trainee Corps. Like most things in the series, [[ShipTease things]] are still unclear.

* Ken and Shoko Shiina in ''Manga/FutariEcchi''. Ken looks like a Yakuza thug, while Shoko looks like a little girl, despite being in her mid-20's.

* ''Manga/YonaOfTheDawn'' has titular heroine Yona (5'1) and her LoveInterest [[BodyguardCrush Hak (6'2)]]. The top of her head barely reaches his shoulders, and he's packing ''at least'' double the muscle she is.
* In ''Manga/UzakiChanWantsToHangOut'', Sakurai (5'11) is noted as being fairly tall (180cm) and is the tallest character in the main cast, though Asai senior is only slightly shorter than him. Uzaki, on the other hand, is ''extremely'' short, to the point that, when Asai senior first meets her, most of her body is hidden by the counter he's kneeling behind, and he mistakes her for being in middle school, when she's actually 19 and in college. He realises his mistake when he stands up and sees [[GagBoobs the rest of her]]...
** Slightly downplayed with Uzaki's parents. Fujio is actually close to average height for a Japanese man (5'7), but he has a muscular build, and since his wife Tsuki is hardly taller than her daughter, he easily towers over her.

%%** Franchise/{{Superman}} (6'4) and [[Characters/SupermanLoisLane Lois Lane]] (5'6) DependingOnTheArtist.
** ComicBook/TheJoker and Harley Quinn (5'7) -- although Joker is sometimes described as only 183 cm (6'0) tall he's more often 191 cm (6'0) or 193 cm (6'4") and drawn in a particularly lanky fashion, while Harley (a former gymnast) barely comes up to his shoulders.
** Comicbook/SwampThing (6'10) [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/61/SwampThing22.jpg/250px-SwampThing22.jpg and his wife]], Abigail Holland nee Arcane (5'7").
** Al Rothstein (229 cm/7'6) and Courtney Whitmore (166 cm/5'5) in some runs of the JSA.

** Well before these Johnny-come-latelies, the original dimorphic superhero couple: [[ComicBook/AntMan Ant/Giant-Man and the Wasp]], both are size-changers, so this mostly only comes into play when he grows and she shrinks. Applied to non-combat situations for awhile when Giant-Man got ''stuck'' at around 3.66 meters (12 feet) tall, and Wasp was still her usual 163 cm (5'4).
** [[ComicBook/FantasticFour The Thing (6'0) and Alicia Masters (5'4)]]; it doesn't help that Alicia is also blind. This was even joked about in ''Film/FantasticFourRiseOfTheSilverSurfer'' when Johnny (6') asks how Ben and Alicia manage a sex life. He then explains that he's only asking out of concern that Alicia might one day be killed in a "rock slide" and runs as Ben comes after him.

*** It's hinted, several times, that the Thing has no... ehm... external organs, because the rock skin is actually an exoskeleton of some sort. Obviously different authors said differently, but the Thing never got a "giant penis" joke, while other "big guys" (like the 8'0 Hulk), had.

** ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'': The Hulk with basically any human-sized love interest. Even his AmazonianBeauty cousin ComicBook/SheHulk (6'7) is only chest height to him. Some artist's renditions of the Hulk are capable and actually have held love interests clasped between his hands.

*** Originally, Bruce Banner became the Hulk by saving an irresponsible teenager (5'9) from being caught in an atomic bomb blast and that said teenager became [[HeterosexualLifePartners hulk's companion]], which would make it [[BigGuyLittleGuy another trope altogether]].
*** [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate Hulk]] can be worse. Typically only around the 2.4 meter (7'10) mark, there's one storyline where he's somewhere in the neighborhood of six meters (19'8) tall and has a harem of dozens of normal-sized women.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'', Chase (5'11) appears to be at least 30 cm (1 foot) taller than his girlfriend, Gert (5'1).

* ''Fanfic/ToyHammer'': [[spoiler: Michael and Zara]]. 1.8 meters (5'11) to 5 cm (2 inches).

* In the ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' fandom, the "[[PortmanteauCoupleName Jaylee]]" pairing, considering that Creator/JewelStaite, Kaylee's actress, stands at just 166 cm&frac12 (5'5);" compared to the towering 193 cm (6'4) Creator/AdamBaldwin, who plays Jayne. Those who ship [[FoeYayShipping Jayne and River]] also like to play up the dynamic in their fic, despite Creator/SummerGlau being an average-sized 173 cm (5'8).

* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7137086/1/Hit_and_Miss Hit And Miss]]'', a NSFW [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII Balthier (6'0)/Ashe (5'5)]] fanfic, brings up the difference in the two characters' heights frequently. When it's mentioned in Chapter 20, [[spoiler: Balthier sleeps with someone else and can't stop himself from thinking that, compared to Ashe, she's too tall.]]

* Fan-artists for ''Fanfic/SuzumiyaHaruhiNoSeitenkan'' tend to draw Kyonko (5'2) as really short compared to the male characters, such as [[http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/8626/29670166d193b5da5348eaf.jpg Haruki (5'7)]] or [[http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/1746/1222842142612.jpg Yuuki (5'5.5)]].

* In the ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8213106/1/Uplifted Uplifted series]]'' Joachim Hoch is described as just under 6'5 and built like a grizzly bear. Hanala on the other hand is lucky to be 5'1. Of course, size means nothing but a height difference as Hanala is the brutally violent one.

* In ''Fanfic/FrailEquilibrium'' and the fan-verse following it, Tess' allegedly short stature (peaking at an average 5'4" as an adult) compared to a towering 6' 5" Dante is a long-time running gag.

* Shown a bit in [[https://www.deviantart.com/discordantprincess DiscordantPrincess']] ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'' works with Alastor and his [[OriginalCharacter wife Megan]]. While Megan is not overly short (her height was once stated as 5'9''), she's a good foot shorter than Alastor.

* ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'': Marcus and MissionControl Anya are implied to have this festering. Though like in the Resident Evil example, it has more to do with bulk than height.
