Go To

1'''Basic Trope''': A character grows to a gigantic height.
2* '''Straight''': After being exposed to a [[GreenRocks radioactive meteor]], Alice grows to 50 feet tall.
3* '''Exaggerated''': After being exposed to a [[GreenRocks radioactive meteor]], Alice becomes bigger than the Earth itself.
4* '''Downplayed''': After being exposed to a [[GreenRocks radioactive meteor]], Alice grows to twice her own size (11 feet tall).
5* '''Justified''':
6** Growing to an enormous height is Alice's superpower.
7** Or the radioactive meteor can make ANYONE grow to 50 feet.
8* '''Inverted''': After being exposed to a radioactive meteor, Alice [[IncredibleShrinkingMan shrinks to a doll size]].
9* '''Subverted''': After a short time, Alice shrinks back to her normal height.
10* '''Double Subverted''':...but she starts growing again soon after.
11* '''Parodied''':
12** Alice suffers ClothingDamage from her increased size, and desperately tries to hide her giant self from prying eyes.
13** Alice fights a giant, fire-breathing hamster.
14** A 50-foot specimen of a "whatever" attacks Alice's city.
15** The "whatever" is something ridiculous like a roll of toilet paper or a slice of pizza.
16* '''Zig Zagged''':
17** Alice goes through a series of growing and shrinking spurts.
18** YourSizeMayVary
19* '''Averted''': After Alice was exposed to a radioactive meteor, nothing happened.
20* '''Enforced''': "We need a transformation sequence, but I can't be bothered to design a new animal. Let's just make her bigger!"
21* '''Lampshaded''': "I suppose now you expect me to [[KingKongClimb climb up a building and fight some airplanes?]]"
22* '''Invoked''': Alice develops a chemical that will make her grow.
23* '''Exploited''': Bob sees Alice growing and immediately calls the army claiming an unrelated disaster, knowing that the growth could cause issues.
24* '''Defied''': After a meteor falls near her, Alice runs away fearing that it may be radioactive, causing her some mutation.
25* '''Discussed''': "Gee, that radioactive meteor looks like the kind of thing that creates giant monsters."
26* '''Conversed''': "Wow, Alice became a giantess from that radioactive meteor. [[SarcasmMode Never seen]] ''[[SarcasmMode that]]'' [[SarcasmMode one before]]."
27* '''Implied''': Alice has been reported missing, there is a giant hole through her roof, and ginormous footprints have been found in the local area.
28* '''Deconstructed''':
29** Due to Alice's enormous size, she's treated as a monster by everybody, despite being just a very big girl. The government wants to kill her even if she hasn't harmed anybody. This prompts Alice to become resentful and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge hate the human race, going on a rampage, ravaging several cities in the process]], until she's taken down by military forces.
30** Due to the SquareCubeLaw, Alice's massive size causes her serious health problems and even a small fall for her causes massive injuries; Scientists realise that unless this is reversed soon, she will most likely die from her condition.
31* '''Reconstructed''':
32** Alice uses her size to help people, such as rescuing people from burning buildings, capturing criminals effortlessly and making her town a better place, earning everybody's gratitude and respect.
33** Or, to compensate for the SquareCubeLaw, Alice becomes exponentially ''[[RequiredSecondaryPowers stronger]]'', meaning that she can support her own weight.
34* '''Played For Laughs''':
35** Nobody can fall asleep around Alice, because her snoring is as loud as a jet engine.
36** Bob is wondering where the sounds of thunder are coming from when the sky is clear and blue. It turns out it was just Alice's [[GrowlingGut stomach rumbling]], because she was hungry.
