1* Zephus-Hassan from Fanfic/TheLegacyOfTheBloodRavens is a ten thousand year old assassin. With power armor and an already enhanced biology, he is considered the most dangerous enemy the Blood Ravens Space Marines face in the story. Common battlefield strategy when facing Zephus-Hassan is a general withdrawal.
2* Several in ''Fanfic/TheBridge''. Rainbow Dash as a renown speed flier but is also tough enough to last in a fight against a dragon. Princess Luna and Cadance both use a mix of their alicorn gifts, earth pony strength and pegasi flight to prove their roles. On the kaiju side, Monster X uses a martial arts training and gravity manipulation to perform feats such as back flipping onto and running along walls, while also being arguably the most durable and physically strongest kaiju on his [[PsychoRangers team]].
3* In ''Fanfic/TheButcherBird'', [[TheDragon Kaneki]] qualifies, possessing a potent HealingFactor, tremendous speed, and able to hit like a freight train. His captain, [[MadScientist Grigori Vinci]] also fits into a similar category to a lesser degree when using [[HeroicRROD Second Gear]].
4* In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'':
5** Sif and Fandral are this, being noted as astonishingly fast as far as Asgardians go - which is pretty damned fast. Fandral can cut bullets out of the air and just look bored.
6** So is Diana, who can fly, match a large Asgardian boy two years older than her for strength while outmanoeuvring him, which only makes sense since she's an adolescent Wonder Woman.
7** Thor, naturally, who is regularly noted to be capable of moving far faster than most believe possible (plus his ShockAndAwe powers make him a literal case).
8** Among many other things, the Winter Soldier is extremely fast, having a speed and agility advantage on Steve.
9** By ''Ghosts of the Past'', Harry's in this category - he moves extremely fast, [[FlashStep to the point where people can't always see him moving from place to place]], and hits incredibly hard, and finally has something close to the durability to match up to it.
10** Clark Kent, being that he's a teenage Kryptonian. Even before he gets [[spoiler: the Kryptonite residue]] that's stunting his development flushed from his system, he's possibly the second fastest of the cast on foot over an extended distance, and incredibly strong. After, he's a FlyingBrick who already hits as hard as Loki and is only getting stronger, and crosses much of the Midwest while still getting into his stride.
11* ''Fanfic/{{Equestrylvania}}'' has Whisper White, who can move so fast Rainbow Dash doesn't even see him do it.
12* ''Fanfic/AForceOfFour'': ComicBook/PowerGirl's Kryptonian DNA ensures that after [[Franchise/{{Superman}} her cousin]]'s demise she is the world's most powerful hero. She moves faster and strikes harder than anybody.
13* In ''Fanfic/{{Fractured|SovereignGFC}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''[=Borderlands=]'']] [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]], examples abound.
14** The Reapers fit the trope--until the Trans-Galactic Republic shows up with its [[MightyGlacier Star Destroyers]]. If FasterThanLightTravel is considered, hyperspace far outclasses eezo drives without mass relays, so depending on what is being measured Star Destroyers may also fit here.
15** When the heroes build anti-Reaper ships, they aim for this trope, but end up with {{Glass Cannon}}s [[AvertedTrope instead]].
16** Samantha Shepard fills the niche too (as most portrayals of the character do).
17** In the [[FanFic/{{Origins}} sequel]], Shepard's combat prowess has not waned, though due to her HeroicBSOD this slides into InformedAbility territory at least some of the time.
18** [[BadassTeacher Jack and Brick]] eventually push their students toward this fighting style, realizing an army of [[GlassCannon Glass Cannons]] is not the way to go.
19** [[WellIntentionedExtremist Sarah]] is the most direct example. Not only is she stronger, faster, and more powerful than anyone else, she's close to a PhysicalGod among mortals (making her the trope by default).
20* ''Fanfic/FromMuddyWaters'': When Izuku is going all out, his movements are a blur to cameras and he can replicate the same punch that his father used to grievously injure All Might.
21* ''FanFic/AGreenSunIlluminatesTheVoid'' offers several examples:
22** Mages are stuck within human physical limits, although some seem to be able to enhance themselves. Exalts like Louise and Scarron are decidedly not.
23** Irukuwu also qualifies. In human form, she's quite fast, and can kill power armored soldiers with thrown food jars, even before she starts partial shapeshifting. In dragon form, well, she's a Rhyme Dragon. Those are scary as all malfeas, even for other dragons.
24* John Freeman, in ''Fanfic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences'', is revealed as one of these in ''Free Man''. He is capable of "killing combines with bear hands," withstanding "masheen gun" fire, and can "walk fast like the speed of light."
25* ''Fanfic/TheHeartTrilogy'', a series of ''Film/TheHobbit'' and later ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' fanfics, has the canonical [[VillainProtagonist Smaug]]. He later [[HumanityEnsues gains a human form]] which is [[BroughtDownToBadass still superior]] to those of average humans in every physical property.
26** A vision [[{{Seers}} Kathryn]] has in ''Heart of Ashes'' about the [[Literature/TheSilmarillion War of Wrath]] shows [[RelatedInTheAdaptation Smaug's ancestor]], Ancalagon the Black. Not only was he the largest dragon to have existed (crushing the three mountains he fell on when he was eventually killed), but he was a fast and agile flier as much as his smaller brethren, not a MightyGlacier [[FasterThanTheyLook as one would easily assume from such a behemoth]].
27** [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Fankil]] looks [[LeanAndMean rather emaciated]], but he has [[StrongerThanTheyLook enough power and toughness]] to take on Smaug. [[HandicappedBadass He also walks with a limp, but he can still fight with speed and agility]]. It helps that he has a lot of magical power as [[spoiler:the son of [[GodOfEvil Morgoth]] himself]].
28* ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'' has ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, who is the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes' mightiest and fastest heavy-hitter.
29* In ''Fanfic/HopeForTheHeartless'', the [[WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron Horned King]] is [[AdaptationalBadass proven to be this]] during his fight against the [[AxCrazy Mad]] [[SavageWolves Pack]]. He's [[SuperStrength strong enough]] to swing a massive log over his head like a club and [[DogPileOfDoom throw off of himself numerous wolves swarming over him]]. (He later states himself to be [[TheStrengthOfTenMen as strong as ten men]] at least.) He normally moves deliberately slowly, hiding deceptively well the fact that he has snake-fast reflexes, much to the amazement of the watching [[DamselInDistress Avalina]]. He also receives many wounds from the wolves, losing much of his [[AlienBlood black substitute for blood]], but he still keeps fighting and [[PostVictoryCollapse passes out only after he has killed all the thirty something wolves]]. It should also be noted that his endurance wasn't at the peak condition at the time: earlier he received [[WeaksauceWeakness water (which burns him)]] on his face and had to use his [[TeleportationSickness energy draining]] teleportation spell twice to get to the spot.
30* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11577216/9/A-Horse-For-the-Force A Horse for the Force]]'', Ranma can block lightsabers for brief periods with his ki shields and tank blaster shots, along with being fast enough anyone not extremely skilled in [[CombatClairvoyance Battle Precognition]] simply can't keep up and strong enough that the ''shockwave'' of a stopped punch can slam a person's head into a wall hard enough to crack said wall.
31* In ''Fanfic/LastChildOfKrypton'', Shinji Ikari has Kryptonian DNA, which makes him strong enough to punch {{Eldritch Abomination}}s out, swift enough to catch bullets and tough enough to tank one dozen of nukes.
32* Izuku in the first chapter of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13639506/1/Quantity-of-Quirks Quantity of Quirks]]'' is basically a teenaged [[Manga/OnePiece Kaido]]. Bakugo's best explosions barely tickle him, he throws a ball 174 kilometers and breaks the grip test machine, and gets the best time in the fifty meter sprint, beating out even Iida. Izuku is compared to All-Might and all of that is ''without'' using his Quirk.
33* In the ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'' FusionFic ''Fanfic/{{Renegade}}'', GDI soldiers -- particular Zone Troopers -- are tremendously heavy-hitters and ''mobile'' thanks to strength-enhancers and jetpacks. There's also the Scrin Intruders, and on top of that, [[RogueAgent Locke]], a massive slab of humanity who is described as moving as smoothly and swiftly as if he were naked, not clad in a half-ton of massive power-armor.
34* In ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', Izuku, [[SuperpowerLottery being a Kryptonian]], is naturally this. Even at four-years-old, he was strong enough to accidentally throw Katsuki through a concrete wall, tough enough to take point-blank explosions with little issue, and fast enough to nearly catch up to Katsuki after he was thrown past the street. As a fourteen-year-old, his classmates fully expect him to be able to stop a speeding train, he only suffers minor discomfort after being stomped on by a robot T-Rex, and he can [[InASingleBound jump through an entire forest in minutes]] to reach the base of Mt. Fuji. While he's still inferior to [[WorldsBestWarrior All Might]], Izuku's powers are only [[StrongerWithAge growing with each passing year]] and he already has a plethora of SuperSenses, EyeBeams, [[BlowYouAway Super-Breath]], and [[AnIcePerson Ice Breath]].
35* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': Kyril is the closest to an end-game hunter who has successfully mastered the [[AttackAttackAttack ferocious fighting style]] that defines ''VideoGame/BloodBorne'' as a whole. Power-wise, beneath his lean build is an unstoppable [[spoiler:eldritch]] force that overpowers any named fighters (Claudia, Vault, and the like) and one-shots orcs, greenskins who are unreasonably tough for one's blade to cut through. His Holy Moonlight Sword can also deal tons of damage with its [[SwordBeam energy waves]] for crowd control, arguably the most potent weapon out of all. Speed-wise, he is faster than any character in the fanfic bar none. Aside from dodges, strafes, and side-steps, he has also shown with the unique ability to FlashStep, though whether this is due to him using the Art of Quickening [[spoiler:or part of his overworldly might]] is unclear. Whenever he fights, there will be at least one instance where his foe is surprised by not only his strength, but also how lightning fast he is. Toughness-wise, he does not tire easily, has [[FeelNoPain high pain tolerance]], and can shrug off attacks that would have been killing blows for regular combatants, including magical fire that would reduce others to ash. In case his injuries are serious enough, he always has a Blood Vial ready to heal himself back in tip-top shape. To top it off, all of the above attributes are cranked up to eleven when he [[SuperMode eats a Beast Blood Pellet]][[note]]this one is yet to be featured in the remastered version[[/note]].
36* In ''FanFic/SpiritofRedemption'', Eli already had great reflexes before using a reflexes gene mod.
37* ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'': Being half-Kryptonian, Asuka is faster and hits harder than any other heroine in the setting.
38* [[spoiler:[=ChaosGallantmon=], Daemon, Gallantmon Crimson Mode]], the Nightmare and [[spoiler:Terriermon]] from the ''Fanfic/TamersForeverSeries'' are all lightning fast Mega digimon capable of some of the most utterly devastating attacks in the series.
39* [[Videogame/{{Undertale}} Undyne]] in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11948484/1/MagicTale MagicTale]]'' is not only strong enough to carry every other [[Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero Familiar]] (including Sylphid) while jogging, but also ridiculously fast and tough enough that she breaks through a three foot thick wall of stone by jumping into it without taking a scratch. The fact she's the Gandalfr only makes her even stronger, faster, and tougher. [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength Though her strength is a problem because everything (and everyone) in Halkagenia is much more fragile than she's used to. She has trouble walking without putting holes in the ground and once dislocated Marteau's shoulders with a friendly pat on the back]].
40* In ''Fanfic/TheVampireOfSteel'', the group of heroes teaming up includes several baseline humans, a witch, a [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer supernaturally physically powerful vampire-hunter]]... and a Kryptonian. Kara is naturally stronger and faster than her friends, as well as nigh invulnerable.
41* In ''Fanfic/{{Webwork}}'', Jade turns out to be one of these during her fight with the J-Team. She is physically powerful, has great speed with her legs and has a high enough pain threshold to ignore pain from magic attacks.
42* ''Fanfic/TheWizardInTheShadows''
43** [[spoiler:Emrys]] falls into this category. He moves like lightning, kills trolls in less than five seconds, but he can take hits too.
44** Harry may also qualify, due to being MadeOfIron.
45* ''FanFic/ThyGoodNeighbor'' features Lord Cyril Fairchild, who like Kyril above, is insanely fast, strong and skilled, to the point of indulging in a round of NonchalantDodge with Brandon Stark... and when the younger man insults his lady wife, he ''warns Brandon of the proper stance to withstand his attack'' and responds with a brutal blow that warps the training sword with his cane. When he has a guardsman give a live sword to the young lord, he repeats his warning, makes his attack slighly slower... and he ruins the second sword as well.
46* Ogres from ''Fanfic/XCOMSecondContact'' are stronger, tougher and faster than even Wrex, who is himself this to most of his comrades.
47* ''Fanfic/AGreenDragonsHoard'': Izuku and Yamato are both incredibly strong and tough, while being ''far'' faster than one would expect for someone so large. Though Izuku takes it far further than Yamato does. Notably, Izuku kicks the head off a Zero Pointed, causing it to hit ''another'' Zero Pointer in a different testing zone and does so well on the Quirk Assessment test that Nemuri simply writes down "Yes" for each score.
