* PrisonBreak: Linc
* Eliot Spencer from ''Series/{{Leverage}}'' is a perfect example of this trope, and they make no efforts to hide it either. His label in the show is "The Hitter" (sometimes the The Retrieval Specialist but it all adds up to the same thing), and he handles both the heavy lifting and the violence, to the point where he verges on TheBrute on occasion. Interestingly, he is the shortest of the main guys, and shorter than the girls (when in they're in heels).
* For a twist, it's "Big Gal" for {{NCIS}}, with Caitlin Todd the former Secret Service agent, and then currently Ziva David, the former Mossad operative. Both are/were the designated asskickers (though the others in the FiveManBand aren't slouches, either).
* John Casey from {{Chuck}} is also a great example, though Sarah and Chuck function this way to some degree as well. It's really Casey mainly- the guy communicates mostly through grunting.
* {{CSI}}: often it's been either Nick or Warrick.
* {{CSI NY}}: usually Don Flack, with occasional Danny Messer as well.
* Crash [=McLarson=] from ''TheAquabatsSuperShow'' most resembles a Class 2. His special power is shifting into super size heights, sometimes triggered by his emotions.
* Rory Williams in ''DoctorWho'' is a mix of a Class 2 and Class 5, particularly after he TookALevelInBadass.
* Detective Sergeant Drake in ''Series/RipperStreet'' is the series' go-to guy for punching people and kicking in doors, and he got a reputation as a OneManArmy during his military service.

* Caroline from the Vampire Diaries. She even knocks Damon around like a ragdoll when she gets pissed enough.
* Teal'c from ''Series/StargateSG1'' is a Class 2 with occasional Class 1 leanings.
* Ronon Dex from ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' is a Class 1. His nickname is even "Chewie".
** One of the best scenes is Teal'c (who is, at this point, over [[BadassGrandpa 100 years old]]) and Ronon going at each other, while everyone else is making bets. Too bad Carter had to stop the fight, which at that point had been going on for over ''forty'' minutes!
* Worf from ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''.
* Malcolm Reed from ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' is a Class 5 example as he uses his brains and technical know-how almost as often as his phase pistol.
** He does engage in a no-holds-barred brawl with the leader of the [[SpaceMarine MACOs]].
* Gunn and Connor from ''Series/{{Angel}}''. Gunn tended to get called "the muscle" a lot, and the fear that this meant ''[[DumbMuscle dumb]]'' muscle was a big part of his character arc. Connor was something of a subverted Big Guy, his slight, boyish appearance contrasting with his incredible strength and ferocity.
* Jayne Cobb from ''Series/{{Firefly}}''.
* Dean Winchester from ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' is also a subverted Big Guy. He's tiny compared to Sam and looks girly and vulnerable (those pouty lips, the general pretty-boyness and the huge Bambi eyes) but is an incredibly brutal fighter.
** And the subversion is kind of unfair in that Jensen Ackles is actually pretty tall. It's just that Jared Padalecki is ridiculously tall.
* [[RobotGirl Cameron]] of ''TheSarahConnorChronicles'' fills in this role, which is ironic, as she is ''easily'' the smallest and most [[WaifFu waifish]] person in the entire cast.
* B.A. Baracus from ''Series/TheATeam''.
* Gan from the first season of ''Series/BlakesSeven'' is an interesting variation on the trope; he would count as a classic Class 2 by dint of his backstory, having sought out and killed his wife's murderer -with his bare hands according to Fanon- but he was subsequently implanted with a '[[RestrainingBolt limiter chip]]' that restricts his aggression. Also a mild subversion on account of being the Big Guy in a series where Gareth Thomas is playing the Hero.
** Though, to be fair, he is a pretty nice guy anyway (At least compared to some of the others on the show. * coughAvoncough!* )
* Kelly from ''{{Misfits}}'' is '''far''' more violent and confrontational than any of the males in [[FiveManBand the group]], and was the only one to take decisive action when they were attacked by their AxCrazy probation worker, [[spoiler: killing him single-handedly by knocking him to the floor and kicking his head in, although he was about twice her size]]. She isn't physically large (she's about average height and build) or notably "butch", and does actually have quite a caring and sensitive personality. But she can often seem imposing due to her anger management issues and will blithely maul anyone who insults her - in fact, due to her power of {{telepathy}}, she will occasionally attack people just for ''thinking'' something that offends her in some way.
* Ninjor from the third season of ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' is a Class 2 Big Guy.
** Katie from ''[[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Time Force]]'', who has SuperStrength even when she's not morphed thanks to 31st century genetic augmentation. Flynn [=McAllister=] from ''[[Series/PowerRangersRPM RPM]]'' is a Class 2.
*** Adam Park is considered by many to be The Big Guy during his seasons, due to his quietness and all around badassitude. In fact in his ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'' aritcle, he's listed as The Big Guy.
*** Other ''Power Rangers'' Big Guys include Kai Chen (Blue Galaxy Ranger), Chad Lee (Blue Lightspeed Ranger), Danny Delgado (Black Bison Ranger), Dustin Brooks (Yellow Wind Ranger), Tommy Oliver (Black Dino Ranger), and Kevin (Blue Samurai Ranger).
* D'Argo from ''Series/{{Farscape}}''.
* The aptly named Big Guy from {{Sanctuary}}.
* Buffer, and more so his replacement Dutchy in season 4 of ''SeaPatrol.''
* ''NoahsArc'': Alex is a class 4, being outspoken, boisterous and dramatic. Though kind, he is the most aggressive and confrontational of the group when threatened. He is also an EmotionalBruiser.
* PrisonBreak: Linc
