8	%% * Mukhtar from ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries''.
9	* [[Characters/AvatarTheLastAirbenderAvatarAang Aang]] by the end of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. Although you ''would'' expect the short-statured and physically-unimposing airbender to be more of a FragileSpeedster, mastering the other three elements really shores up his weak points. Being able to summon [[BarrierWarrior a shield of earth or ice]] or a [[PlayingWithFire blast of fire]] boosts his effective offense and defense considerably.
10	** His successor, [[Characters/TheLegendOfKorraAvatarKorra Korra]], from WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra is even more of one, which shouldn't be surprising given that she's the result of the world's most intrinsically-talented bender being raised from childhood in multiple forms of martial arts. Even without the Avatar State, she's able to overpower just about everyone, and one she starts learning airbending, she becomes just as adept at evasion as she is at tanking hits.
11	*** The same could be said for many of the villains. [[Characters/TheLegendOfKorraAmon Amon]] is an extremely agile and nimble fighter with the strength to take down even the most skilled benders with no sweat, [[TheAntiGod Vaatu]]'s massive size and damaging power definitely doesn't reflect his speed, just like other spirits and [[DarkMessiah Unalaq]] moves extremely fast & hits very hard.
12	* In ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'', the Huntsman is tall and broad-[[TopHeavyGuy just look at his season 2 redesign]]-but he's a skilled fighter, with the strength and agility of a cougar.
13	* [[Characters/Ben10Vilgax Vilgax]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''. He's about twice as tall as any of Ben's aliens [[spoiler:except Way Big]], strong enough to smack [[SuperStrength Fourarms]] around with ease and shatter [[NighInvulnerable Diamondhead's]] face. He's fast enough to catch [[SuperSpeed XLR8]] even as he flees, and tends to charge into battle with all the speed of a freight train ([[TheJuggernaut and fifty times harder to stop, too]]).
14	* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'' all [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]] can [[FlashStep move faster]] than the eye can track, hit with [[SuperStrength enough strength]] to smash skulls like watermelons and [[SuperToughness shrug off]] almost any attack with the notable exceptions of [[HolyBurnsEvil holy weapons]] and magic. However the biggest examples of this trope are {{Dracula}} and his son [[{{Dhampir}} Alucard]] who are both so strong and so fast, they actually create [[KungFuSonicBoom shock waves]] while fighting like they're from [[Anime/DragonBallZ DBZ]]. Season 4 has Striga an AmazonianBeauty vampire, who at [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jdAmhsKbH2E one point]] fights an entire army by herself in a full set of armour, wielding a {{BFS}} and moving at blinding speeds.
15	** The sole [[CharlesAtlasSuperPower human example]] is [[VampireHunter Trevor Belmont]]. Trevor can move fast enough to dodge arrows as well as an [[EyeBeams eye beam]] from a Cyclops, is strong enough to kill werewolf barehanded, go OneManArmy against an entire [[TheLegionsOfHell army of demons]] (armed with only two sticks) and is tough to survive getting smashed by a [[OurMinotaursAreDifferent Minotaur]] [[spoiler: as well as take a beating from {{Dracula}} and kill FinalBoss Death]].
16	** [[TheDragon Dolza Tzuentes]] from the sequel series ''WesternAnimation/CastlevaniaNocturne''. She hits hard, moves fast and can shrug off all but the heroes strongest attacks.
17	* ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko''
18	** Ulrich is a [[SuperSpeed speedster]], but also the heaviest hitter of the group and has excellent defense with his katana.
19	** William counts too, as he's even faster than Ulrich with his SuperSmoke power, and wields his {{BFS}} with terrifying power and speed.
20	* The Godzilla (AKA Godzilla Jr.) in ''WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries'' is basically a CompositeCharacter of the Tristar and Toho versions by having the former's speed and the latter's fearsome strength. He's shown to be really elusive and highly agile for a 55 meter mutant marine iguana. He's been able to even scale around a construction site without breaking it, easily keep pace with a speeding train, and can run at 300 MPH. Unlike his father Zilla, (who's been easily killed by missiles) even if he ''looks'' rather lithe and a tad bit "scrawny" with the appearance of a FragileSpeedster, he's able to ''actually'' withstand military weapons, and even if he gets injured he possesses a HealingFactor, has his own BreathWeapon, and he even has his own RoguesGallery of kaiju antagonists of any kind, many of which that he's taken down (although he does get proper assistance from Nick and the team members of H.E.A.T. depending on how strong his opponent is) and usually comes out on top just like his Toho counterpart(s).
21	%% * Agent Six from ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex''.
22	* ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'': Dark Hand enforcer Hak Foo is strong enough to punch holes through stone walls and push off [[MightyGlacier the much larger Tohru]]. He's on Jackie's level in agility and speed. [[MadeOfIron It takes a lot of damage to take him down]]. However, he has an exploitable drawback in the form of his CallingYourAttacks habit: those who can catch what he's about to do from his loud exclamations can better defend themselves against him.
23	* Jenny from WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot definitely counts. She has super speed and strength.
24	* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'':
25	** The Tasmanian Devil. He is a dangerous force of destruction [[SpectacularSpinning who can move very fast when spinning]]. And with this being ''Looney Tunes'', he is MadeOfIron as well.
26	** Toro from ''WesternAnimation/BullyForBugs'' is a large and powerfully-built {{Brutish Bull\|s}}, and of course has the agility expected from a fighting bull.
27	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
28	** [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicRainbowDash Rainbow Dash]] is a boisterous tomboy and has been shown to not only fly fast enough to accomplish the legendary "Sonic Rainboom" -- the only pegasus known to have ''ever'' done so, including the two ''[[GodEmperor god-princess]] [[WingedUnicorn alicorns]]'' -- but has since also gained enough control over the ability to use it to create a large ground explosion in order to demolish a barn. And that's just the tip of the iceberg; Aside from breaking the sound barrier, Dash can also stand her own in a fight and on one occasion, kicked a fully grown dragon in the face hard enough to not only provoke it into going on the offensive, when the entire problem the dragon posed was that it refused to get up from its nap, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXsPcp_KtJw actually whine near-tearfully about it afterwards]] in conjunction with Fluttershy's [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath amazing verbal beatdown]]. Flying at supersonic speeds, able to create an explosion powerful enough to crack rock miles away, enduring hits that would reduce anyone else to pulp with nothing but AmusingInjuries... Rainbow Dash is definitely an [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated example]].
29	** [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicApplejack Applejack]] is physically the strongest of the Mane Six, able to easily buck apples off of trees or hit a [[TestYourStrengthGame high striker]] so hard its bell flies off, and she also has a very fast running speed. Rainbow Dash even admitted during her "Hot Minute" clip that she and Applejack raced each other completely fairly, meaning with Rainbow Dash not using her wings to cheat like she did in "Fall Weather Friends," Applejack might have beaten her.
30	** In the Season 4 finale, [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicTwilightSparkle Twilight Sparkle]] becomes this trope. With the combined magic of the three most powerful alicorns in Equestria, in addition to her own, Twilight goes toe to toe with [[BigBad Lord Tirek]], who has the power of literally everyone else in the country... and she gains the upper hand, simultaneously overpowering them and moving with great speed, when not simply teleporting at a moment's notice. There's some signs that she can do this even without AllYourPowersCombined, but doesn't usually press herself in this way.
31	* ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'': The [[MonsterOfTheWeek Bog Hound]] is a huge [[ExtraEyes four eyed]] irish {{Hellhound}} frightening enough to send [[PantheraAwesome lions, tigers and leopards]] up a tree like scared housecats, strong enough to smash through brick wall without slowing down, fast enough to chase down speeding cars and tear them asunder and agile enough to [[DodgeTheBullet dodge the ghostbusters proton streams]]. In the end it takes some quick thinking on Egon's part to trap it.
32	%% * Megabyte of ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' can outrun vehicles and throw them around like rag dolls when he catches them.
33	* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'':
34	** The Scotsman is about three times Jack's size, tough as nails, and easily capable of matching Jack's speed and strength. He also has a Scottish Claymore inscribed with ancient Celtic runes that made it nearly indestructible and increased its destructive power, allowing it to match even Jack's blade. It's because of the traits that Jack wound up fighting the Scotsman to a standstill for three days and nights.
35	** Don't forget the Minions of Set. Despite having hugely overbuilt upper bodies, very short, slender legs and enough weight to make the ground rumble beneath their feet, they are extremely fast and agile. Jack is so overwhelmed by the way they constantly jump around in combat that he can hardly tell which direction their attacks are coming from.
36	** [[Characters/SamuraiJackJack Jack]] himself. During his TrainingFromHell with the Scotsman he was strong enough to carry massive boulders on his back like they were nothing and regularly slices apart building sized robots and monsters. Jack’s speed is crazy too as besides deflecting bullets with his sword, at one point he casually dodged a beam of ''sunlight''. Jack also walked off [[RocketlessReentry falling to Earth from space]], with the only noticeable damage being to his spacesuit and survived getting slashed up by the aforementioned Minions of Set. In Season 5, despite losing his CoolSword, Jack is still the strongest, fastest and toughest warrior in the series as well as the most skilled thanks to centuries of experience as TheAgeless.
37	** Season 5 introduced the [[Characters/SamuraiJackCultOfAku Daughters of Aku]]. They've been put through TrainingFromHell to go up against the likes of [[OneManArmy Jack.]] Their ambush on the samurai gave him a run for his money as they literally ran circles around him (via [[DodgeTheBullet dodging bullets from his machine gun]]) whilst barraging through his armor piece by piece, and decked him so hard he got sent flying. Although as dangerous as they were as a group, they were only able to stand against Jack with surprise on their side, and ultimately all but one is easily incapacitated and later killed by Jack because he's more of an experienced and tactical combatant. The one daughter that survives, Ashi, stands out from her sisters the most, as best shown in Episode XCVIII, where she totally decimates an entire army of Orcs that came to kill Jack ([[FoeTossingCharge she even grabs the first one while mashing through multiple ones down a cliffside]]) as well as defeating her own mother who was probably her most challenging fight besides Jack.
38	%% * In ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'', easily Sonic. Though in the games he is usually much more a FragileSpeedster, here he can punch and kick robots (kicking makes sense...), and when already running, throw things multiple times his size with his momentum. He is also the only Freedom Fighter to have broken security cameras by ''throwing junk at them...with ONE hand''...
39	* [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Zeb]] from ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' is the physically strongest member of the team, and is also very fast and acrobatic.
40	* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' features [[Characters/StevenUniverseGarnet Garnet]], who's both superhumanly agile and a top-class bruiser. Her footwork and movement speeds are comparable to [[WeakButSkilled Pearl]] and [[FragileSpeedster Amethyst]], and she's also the offensive heavyweight of the Crystal Gems. This makes sense [[spoiler:as she's a fusion of [[SuperStrength Ruby]] and [[SuperSpeed Sapphire]].]]
41	** Fittingly, in the Season 1 finale, she's paired against another LightningBruiser: [[Characters/StevenUniverseJasper Jasper]], who's absurdly strong and [[BullfightBoss has an ability that lets her rush forwards at high speeds]]. She actually suffers defeat when Garnet [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard uses her momentum against her]] -- by catching her mid-charge and redirecting her into the core of the ship they're on.
42	** [[Characters/StevenUniverseYellowDiamond Yellow Diamond]] is an absolutely gigantic gem, who not only covers a lot of ground with each stride, but has a similar dash-ability to Garnet. She's also got ''immense'' strength, and has a ranged attack that destabilizes gems. When she finally enters battle, she and Blue Diamond [[TheWorfEffect wipe]] [[CurbStompBattle the floor]] with the Crystal Gems.
43	%% * The Leviathan from ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'' is fast enough to outfly the title heroes' flying motorcycles, AND big enough to ''swallow their mothership''.
44	* In the 2003 ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\|2003}}'' series, Hun is a humongous mountain of a man, and one of the largest human characters in the series -- the official stats put him at 7'2 and ''500 pounds''. His speed and agility, however, is consistently shown to be on par with all the other martial artists.
45	* Optimus Prime in ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'', if the tech specs are anything to go by. Compared to the rest of the Ark crew, he matches or outpaces other characters who are considered specialists -- among other things, he's stronger and tougher than Brawn, just behind Bluestreak in firepower, and every bit as fast as Windcharger. When you're a truck and the only character who can outrun you is a jet fighter, you know you're lightning-fast.
46	** According the tech specs from the toy, Starscream is this compared to the rest of the Decepticon court being on the [[MightyGlacier slow-but-powerful]] side. Almost all of Starscream stats range from 7/10 to 9/10, having all around decent-to-high stats, mixed up with a 10/10 in the stat speed. [[note]]It worths nothing that the original tech specs cards between the seekers were mixed up and most of the info can be found in Skywarp card, which describes him as being [[DumbMuscle not too bright]] [[EliteMook and being a mere warrior]] despite having a very high rank and intelligence according the specs.[[/note]] Starscream's cluster bombs and null rays combined with his alt mode of an F-15 Eagle Fighter plane makes him an extremely dangerous foe for the autobots capable of lay waste everywhere he goes. It worths nothing this is notable even in the Sunbow cartoon as his high speed and decent firepower means the autobots often have a hard time fighting him back whenever he's on the sky. If weren't for his [[DirtyCoward cowardice and]] [[TheStarscream unability to fall in line]] he would be much bigger threat for the autobots.
47	* [[Characters/TransformersPrimeMegatron Megatron]] from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' is LargeAndInCharge, and just as strong as he looks. The most terrifying thing about him however is his speed, and he made sport of many a MightyGlacier through his run.
48	%% * The ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' incarnation of Bulkhead is this, and verges on OneManArmy at times. He's big, but he can move really damn fast when he wants to. [[spoiler: To the point he can go toe-to-toe with a Dark Energon empowered Megatron]]
49	%% * In ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'', the Mmmmmmmmmporpg is introduced as a beefy, overweight fellow. It turns out his legs move faster than the eye can follow and he can easily suplex other boufball players who are much larger than he is.
