Line #32 PlayingWith/MostCommonSuperpower


1	'''Basic Trope''': A suspicious percentage of female superheroes[=/=]superpowered fantasy characters have large [[note]]to the point of being unrealistic[[/note]] breasts.
2	* '''Straight''': Amazing Girl is a D-cup. Baroness Beauty is a F-cup. Calamity Clare is a G-cup.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Amazing Girl's bust is so huge it [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale defies cup sizes]] and several laws of physics. All other female characters have similar bust sizes.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Amazing Girl's breast size is slightly above average, but it's not that noticable.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** Amazing Girl [[HumanAlien isn't human]], so human breast standards don't apply. Frankly [[NonMammalMammaries the unlikely thing is that she has them]] ''at all'', not what size they are.
7	** Baroness Beauty's powers have a mildly transformative effect on her physique, increasing her bust size in the process.
8	** Calamity Clare is a shapeshifter and gives herself large breasts because she always wanted to look like superheroines in the comics.
9	** The ladies developed their powers/skills in response to all the lechers they had to fight off in their youth.
10	* '''Inverted''':
11	** [[PetitePride Amazing Girl is as flat as a pancake]].
12	** [[WorldOfBuxom Every female character has large breasts- ''except'' superheroines.]]
13	* '''GenderInverted''': All of the male characters are muscular with narrow hips and a noticeable bulge, to the point that it is unrealistic.
14	* '''Subverted''':
15	** Amazing Girl is discussed as if she has overly large breasts, but they are revealed to be smaller than expected.
16	** Baroness Beauty stuffs her bra in order to appear closer to the stereotypical beautiful woman.
17	** Calamity Clare is actually a FauxActionGirl who has nothing special but her breasts.
18	** All superheroines have large breasts, until Dashing Dame who [[PetitePride barely has breasts]] joins.
19	* '''Doubly Subverted''':
20	** However, she is later hit with powers that increase her bust size.
21	** Baroness Beauty's powers ''could'', if she wanted, increase her bust size, and every so often she does use them to that effect. She stuffs her bra when not using these powers so she'll look as busty without having to concentrate on using her powers in that way.
22	** But after AppliedPhlebotinum and superpower training turn Calamity Clare into a powerful superheroine as well.
23	** [[WesternAnimation/SheZow Dashing Dame is actually a guy who transforms himself into the superheroine.]]
24	* '''Parodied''':
25	** Calamity Clare actually makes use of them in a fight. Nobody ever takes Lord Wasteland seriously again after ''that''.
26	** Amazing Girl's breasts really ''do'' defy gravity. Bob the scientist eventually invents antigravity based on studying how her back doesn't snap under the weight of her rack.
27	** Emperor Evulz used his [[PowerCopying invention to copy Amazing girl's powers]]...And promptly grows a massive rack.
28	** All the ''male'' superheroes have large breasts, while the female ones are all flat-chested.
29	* '''Zig Zagged''':
30	** Amazing Girl is drawn with huge boobs in the comic, but in TheMovie, an actress with smaller breasts is cast. In a promo picture she has fake boobs, but she can't wear the fakes to do her stunts, so many movie scenes don't have them.
31	** The size of the breasts varies from one character to another.
32	* '''Averted''': Amazing Girl is depicted as having average, realistically sized breasts.
33	* '''Enforced''': "The people reading our comics are mostly men. Men like women with large breasts. Ergo, give Amazing Girl large breasts and men will like her!"
34	* '''Lampshaded''':
35	** "It still sometimes amazes me that I can still fight crime with these!"
36	** "What are your superpowers? Besides obscenely large breasts, I mean."
37	* '''Invoked''':
38	** "Female superheroes need large breasts. It's essentially a job requirement."
39	** Alternatively: They're fake. Amazing Girl got implants before she started fighting crime so she'd fit in (or pads her bra while she's in costume.)
40	** Baroness Beauty intentionally fakes / changes her bust size and exploits it in order to help protect her SecretIdentity; not only is her civilian persona a lot less buxom than her superheroic identity, but people who are focusing on her breasts ''aren't'' focusing on her face.
41	** Calamity Clare's SecretIdentity looks fairly normal; when she says [[ByThePowerOfGreyskull the magic words]] her clothes turn into her costume, she becomes more muscular and her breasts grow significantly larger. Of course, the TransformationSequence never fails to highlight this.
42	* '''Exploited''': Paparazzi start tailing women with extraordinarily large breasts, since so many superheroines have them and quite frankly, there can only be so many D-cup-and-above women out there.
43	* '''Defied''':
44	** "I don't need unrealistically large breasts to fight crime!"
45	** Amazing Girl gets breast reduction surgery before she starts fighting crime, since giant boobs get in the way.
46	* '''Discussed''':
47	** "Seriously, outside of a comic book ''no one'' has breasts like hers!"
48	** "Superheros that like small breasts must have trouble finding girlfriends."
49	* '''Conversed''': "Amazing Girl's breast size is ludicrously unrealistic!"
50	* '''Deconstructed''':
51	** Amazing Girl's figure has led to her becoming a figure of derision amongst the superhero community, meaning that she is not taken seriously as a woman or as a crime fighter. It is assumed that because of her breast size she is an [[TheDitz airheaded]] '[[DoubleStandard slut]]' and she is often the victim of sexual harassment from other superheroes, whilst simultaneously the subject of jealous gossip.
52	** Baroness Beauty was bullied as a child because others were alternatively jealous of her assets or assumed that she was a BrainlessBeauty (or both at the same time).
53	** Turns out, big breasts are ''extremely'' impractical- Amazing Girl gets constant backaches, Baroness Beauty is often objectified by the press, and Calamity Clare's giant bust keeps getting in her way in combat.
54	* '''Reconstructed''':
55	** Superheroines form 'large bust support groups', where they can help each other's body image, work out ways to make it so that their breasts aren't a pain, and campaign to stop sexism in the superhero industry.
56	** Amazing Girl's breasts hinder her when she fights crime, but [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer all]] criminals are too DistractedByTheSexy to escape successfully anyway.
57	** Baroness Beauty's superpower ''is'' being large-breasted, as well as the RequiredSecondaryPowers that go along with it (super strength, impeccable balance).
58	** [[SuppressedMammaries Amazing Girl wears a sports bra, so her boobs don't get in the way of crime fighting or so that people will take her more seriously & it works.]]
59	** Calamity Clare is aware that those people are just jealous and/or ends up proving them wrong.
60	** Since no one among the heroes takes Amazing Girl seriously, all the villains make the mistake of trying to kidnap her first, only for her to teach them the hard way. [[YoYoPlotPoint Over and over again.]]
61	** When you have super strength and toughness, a little extra weight on your chest doesn't matter.
62	** No one is stupid enough to harass or belittle a woman with superpowers. Or at least, not twice.
