** Tom is extremely strong and tough but is actually also fast. However, he lacks the agility to make good use of his speed.

** Tom is a superhero whose special abilty grants him great strength and resilience at the cost of great speed.
* '''Inverted''': Tom is a FragileSpeedster who particularly needs to attack many enemies repeatedly to deal damage.

** Tom looks like he'd be really slow with all that muscle, but then he [[LightningBruiser sprints towards his opponent]].
** Tom's frame is intimidating, but he also makes an enormous target and can't afford armor big enough for him to wear, making him more of a very ponderous GlassCannon.

** ...For about five feet.
** He knows spells for protection as well as healing to compensate his lack of armor.
* '''Parodied''': Tom is ''literally'' a MightyGlacier. He's big and tough as a mountain, but can't move an inch.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Tom can beat inexperienced {{Mook}}s and can withstand most unarmed attacks, but he moves very slowly (Straight). Following a TimeSkip, Tom's strength and toughness matches that of a god's; unfortunately, he has the speed of a three-toed sloth (Exaggerated). However, it's because Tom received special armor that, at the cost of much speed, gave him much strength and toughness (Justified). Tom vows to work on his speed; in the process, he forgets his strength and toughness (Inverted).
* '''Averted''': Tom is not particularly strong, tough or slow.

* '''Invoked''': Tom is entering a lifting competition where speed is unnecessary. So he only improves his strength and toughness.
* '''Exploited''': Tom often uses his strength and toughness to catch Mooks who think that they can easily fight a slow guy without a problem off guard.
* '''Defied''': "I'll work on my speed, even if it means I'll have to be [[FragileSpeedster weak]]."

** After nearly experiencing death, Tom realizes he has to increase his speed. He learns leaping or skipping isn't that girly if you can cause the earth to shake and get better speed. By using gravity, his jumping is powerful enough to stun fast movement long enough to attack.
** Tom acquires ranged attacks to compensate.
* '''Played For Laughs''': Luke can't [[PunchPunchPunchUhOh even hurt or be noticed by the]] {{implacable|Man}} Tom, who slowly ambles away while whistling a jaunty tune.
