* [[OurGiantsAreBigger Giants]] in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' have a spotty history as allies and mercenaries, usable by most if not all armies. (most notably in the form of the brothers Bologs and Cachtorr from the [[BritishWeather mist-shrouded isle of Albion]]) They tend to be more solidly and permanently associated with destructive factions, such as the various [[WarhammerWarriorsOfChaos forces]] of [[WarhammerBeastsOfChaos Chaos]], [[WarhammerGreenskins greenskins]], and [[WarhammerOgreKingdoms Ogre Kingdoms]]. (The latter as the biggest guy in a whole army of big guys.) However, the human Imperial city of Middenheim had it's own resident giant in the background: Thunderball, employed as the loader for Middenheim's giant cannon Ulric's Thunder. [[spoiler:He was eventually [[TragicMonster mutated]] with [[BackgroundMagicField warpstone]] by [[WarhammerSkaven Skaven]] infiltrators.]]

** Pantilimon is on [[this list http://www.sportskeeda.com/football/top-10-tallest-footballers-in-the-world/?ref=start]] of the tallest footballers in the world (playing at the time the list was written). One of the tallest players mentioned (a 6'10' striker playing for a third division team in Scotland) directly caused the club he was playing for to heighten the door so he didn't injure his head.

* Most footballers in general are not shorter than 5'9' (Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona notable exceptions at 5'6' and 5'5' respectively) TheBeautifulGame has a few notable examples; such as goalkeepers Thibaut Courtois (6'6'), Petr Cech (6'4') and Costel Pantilimon (6'8'), defender Brede Hangeland (6'6') and strikers Peter Crouch, Nikola Zigic (both 6'7') and Lacina Traore (6'8').

* Muneca Powell from ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'' is an interesting mixture of Class 2 and Class 5. She's not ''quite'' a GentleGiant towards people she dislikes, but she's [[MamaBear great with children]]. She's also smart (she knows the rules inside and out - and she can actually tolerate and understand all that legalese)... and dresses like a ProperLady, complete in [[GorgeousPeriodDress Victorian era style]]. But piss her off, and she'll [[CurbStopBattle curb-stomp]] you with her [[GravityMaster gravity powers]]. Oh, and did I mention that she's over six feet tall, fights with a SwordCane (it's hidden in her ParasolOfPrettiness), and actually is pretty strong to boot?

* Adrestia in ''[[{{Webcomic/Morphe}} morphE]]'' is a female type 2. She was a gang member before being kidnapped and brought to the mansion and is the only member of the FiveManBand who is physically strong outside of magic use.

* Others are [[BareFistedMonk powerful martial artists]] who clobber the bad guys with their [[GoodOldFisticuffs bare hands]].

* [[OurGiantsAreBigger Giants]] in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' have a spotty history as allies and mercenaries, usable by most if not all armies. (most notably in the form of the brothers Bologs and Cachtorr from the [[BritishWeather mist-shrouded isle of Albion]]) They tend to be more solidly and permanently associated with destructive factions, such as the various [[WarhammerWarriorsOfChaos forces]] of [[WarhammerBeastsOfChaos Chaos]], [[WarhammerGreenskins greenskins]], and [[WarhammerOgreKingdoms Ogre Kingdoms]]. (The latter as the biggest guy in a whole army of big guys.) However, the human Imperial city of Middenheim had it's own resident giant in the background: Thunderball, employed as the loader for Middenheim's giant cannon Ulric's Thunder. During the Storm of Chaos campaign - in which Chaos warlord Archaon swept towards and through the northern cities of [[WarhammerTheEmpire The Empire]] (including Middenheim) - [[spoiler:infiltrators and assassins of the secretive race of ratmen known as [[WarhammerSkaven Skaven]] were employed to neutralise Thunderball, mutating him with the corruptive magic substance called [[BackgroundMagicField warpstone]]. Middenheim's human defenders were forced to kill the resulting [[TragicMonster thrashing monstrosity]], to put it out of it's misery and protect the city.]]

*** The Salamanders and Ultramarines chapters arguably come in before Space Wolves as Class 2 or 3. The former chapter has a doctrine of compassion, duty and self-sacrifice; lives among the people of their homeworld when off-duty (rather than holed up in a mountain fortress); and are the only chapter said to have fought for the people during the 2nd and 3rd wars for Armageddon, defending hive cities, supply lines, and evacuees. Chapter master Tu'Shan even reportedly came to blows with the Marines Malevolent for shelling an invaded refugee encampment. They can also count as {{GeniusBruiser}}s, even among most other Space Marine chapters, due to their ties and training with the Adeptus Mechanicus. The Ultramarines control a small 'sub-empire' surrounding their homeworld; governed according to the egalatarian ideals of meritocracy and common good instilled in them by their founding Primarch, Roboute Guilliman, and which the Ultramarines despair to find lacking in their brother chapters and other imperial star systems.
