Whether the superheroine is a [[{{Mutants}} mutant]], an [[HotAmazon Amazon]] [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses princess]] or an [[HumanAliens alien humanoid]], if she's female, she is straining against the bonds of gravity... [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean but not in a flying sort of way]].

This most common of metahuman attributes seems to range from a D-cup size upward for any character just past the onset of puberty (a time [[PubertySuperpower when many comic-book characters start to manifest superpowers]]).

Of course, this may fluctuate under different artists.

If you need MundaneUtility for this superpower, it can be made into VictoriasSecretCompartment.

Note that this trope applies exclusively to women with actual superpowers, but they don't have to be technical superheroines.

Common because [[MostWritersAreMale Most Artists Are Male]], of course, which is why this rarely involves MyEyesAreUpHere.

{{Live Action Adaptation}}s inevitably lead to a BigBraToFill.

SubTrope of HeroicBuild. Compare FormFittingWardrobe, {{Stripperific}}, GagBoobs, {{Gainaxing}}, BoobsOfSteel. See also TopHeavyGuy for a male exaggeration of the chest area (just a different form than this).

[[folder: Anime and Manga ]]

* Seras Victoria from ''{{Hellsing}}''. Apparently, getting bitten by a vampire also increases your cup size by a few letters.
* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in one of Tokyopops' "Rising Stars of Manga" stories:
--->Buxom Villainess: What are you travelling with that flat-chested loser for? \\
Somewhat Less Buxom Heroine: F-flat chested?! I'm a C-cup! \\
Buxom Villainess: (comforts heroine) I know, you poor thing.
* The Sekirei in ''{{Sekirei}}'' may have a variety of ElementalPowers, but the most common power? The boobs. Every single Sekirei but the [[TokenLoli loli]] and [[TheOneGuy the few men]] have huge ones.
* Several characters in ''MahouSenseiNegima'' have this power, most notably [[{{Ninja}} Kaede]] and Mana, two of the most well-endowed students in Negi's class, as well as [[BoobsOfSteel two of the strongest]]. Not to mention that the majority of the characters are around ''fourteen years old''! It's not necessarily unrealistic, though. Puberty doesn't always wait, and in some cases starts in the single digits. Besides, Class 3-A runs the whole spectrum, from the "Puberty, what's that?" Narutaki Twins to the two mentioned above. In chapter 235, Natsumi points out that this seems to be common in the magical world.
*''{{Bleach}}''. Rangiku Matsumoto, Orihime Inoue, Tia Harribel, Nel's true form, Haineko... the creator ain't named "Titty" Kubo for nothing. With the exception of Rukia, it often seems like viewers can tell how important a female character is supposed to be by her cup size.
* Signum from ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'', combined with BoobsOfSteel through being a LightningBruiser.
** And the first Reinforce, who was one of the strongest characters yet seen in the entire series, may have had breasts even bigger than Signum's. [=StrikerS=]-era Fate, a skilled close-combat fighter, is rather 'gifted' too.
* Tsunade in ''{{Naruto}}''. She must be the only character have actually been measured (106 cm if memory serves and Jiraiya is to be believed). Hinata the ShrinkingViolet as well. I wonder if Sakura is jealous of her...rice cups. As well as Samui from Kumogakure and Konan from Akatsuki.
* Mai and Haruka in ''{{Mai-HiME}}''. And Mayo, heroine of the ''{{Mai-HiME Destiny}}'' AlternateContinuity novel, outranks both characters in boob size.
* In TonaGura, Nina Isokawa and Hatsune Arisaka, the latter much to the chagrin of her younger sister Kazuki and Kazuki's best bud Chihaya—and nearly every other woman Hatsune encounters. Partially subverted in that, while he notices them both, sometime ChivalrousPervert Yuuji Kagura takes pains to not even consider the deeply underaged Nina as a prospect, despite her crushing on him (sometimes literally), and treats Hatsune much like an older sister.
* In RanmaOneHalf, both [[GenderBender Ranma's female form]] and [[HotAmazon Shampoo]] are shown with considerable cleavage, as is Ranma's fellow GenderBender Herb, and a monkey that was transformed into a human girl with the same spring. In fact, this has resulted in a FanWank that the Nyanniichuan has a sub-clause that anyone cursed by it will become very busty, in order to make hiding their condition more difficult. The anime often is accused of amping their cleavage size up further, but this is mainly due to the presence of {{Gainaxing}} in the {{OAV}}s and {{Non Serial Movie}}s- particularly ''Nihao! My Concubine'', in which Shampoo and Ranma's chests have been estimated to measure roughly '''87cm''' and '''85cm''' respectively. In adult form, Hinako Ninomiya puts both of them to shame.
* UruseiYatsura, the previous series by [[RumikoTakahashi the same author]], subverts this in both anime and manga versions. Even Lum, whom both Shinobu and Ataru call "big breasted" in her first appearance, doesn't appear to be much larger than a C-cup. Perhaps they were deceived by the FurBikini?
* A lot of the main cast of {{Kampfer}} have an ample bust. Of note is the series protagonist Natsuru Senou. Unfortunately, [[GenderBender he's a guy]], and he doesn't even want to be a Kampfer in the first place.

[[folder: Comic Books ]]

* The Ur-Example: The [[http://ragnell.blogspot.com/2006/05/power-girl-you-be-judge.html urban legend]] goes that legendary comics artist Wally Wood, one of the original artists for Power Girl at [[TheDCU DC]], started enlarging her chest issue-to-issue to see how far he could go with it before the suits upstairs caught on. Again, this is just a myth; however, it started a tradition, and it's often considered [[strike:one]] two of the main features of the character, i.e. that she has ''even larger'' breasts than the average generously-endowed {{superhero}}ine. Plus the "boob window" over her cleavage making them that much more obvious.
** {{Lampshaded}} in the ''{{Superman}}/{{Batman}}'' comic when Batman, Superman, Katana and Power Girl are discussing the [[WeNeedADistraction need to distract]] the Toyman (a thirteen-year-old Japanese [[TeenGenius boy genius]]). Power Girl (in her [[{{Stripperiffic}} costume with the big window in the chest]]) asks why everyone is suddenly staring at her before realizing the obvious. Well, the pair of obvious.
*** The same issue gave us this other great lampshading, when Superman and Batman talk with the Toyman about his invention after Power Girl is done distracting him:
----> ''Superman: "Will it work?"''\\
''Toyman: "Does Power Girl have big-- "''\\
''Batman (cuts him off): "Alright then, let's go."''
**** This exchange was revisited almost ''verbatim'' in Warner Premiere's animated feature ''Superman/Batman: Public Enemies''.
** Although, to be fair to Power Girl, many of the artists and writers over the past decade or so have had other characters point her figure out (such as in the preceding example), unlike other heroines in skintight and revealing clothing that other characters seemingly ignore. Even ''Power Girl'' is aware of her figure. She once commented that she doesn't need to wear a mask because "most of the time...they ain't lookin' at my face."
*** The line's ridiculous, of course, because we see in her new series that she wears low-cut blouses and a slight change of hairstyle for her civilian look. Even assuming that there's not some cringe-worthy "I recognize those!" line coming (and the series does show that she's patient enough to tell the difference between someone who's genuinely attracted to her and someone who's skeeving, so here's hoping that day never comes), she's one gay man, straight woman, or happily involved anyone away from having her identity exposed.
** Some contemporary artists (from the last decade or so) also draw her as muscular, built like a body-builder. Adam Hughes, especially. He even drew a sketch of her lifting her own breasts for exercise in one of his convention sketchbooks.
* Big Barda, another DC Universe HotAmazon, is pretty damn stacked. Part of the reason for this is that she's based on a seventies-era Lainie Kazan, who was gorgeous and had a formidible set of twins. She still does, but at 68 and with about 40 extra pounds, the appeal isn't quite the same. [[FetishFuel Or is it?]]
* This is so common at Marvel, DC, and even most independent publishers that it'd probably be easier to list those ladies and young women who lack this attribute.
** Wolfsbane of ''The New Mutants'' and, later, ''X-Force'', ''X-Factor'', and ''Excalibur'', tends to be more realistically endowed, in both human and half-wolf forms. This is probably a deliberate choice on the part of artists, as the character herself is not particularly sexually active, and may until recently have been a virgin.
** Her former ''New Mutants'' teammate and ([[LesYay very?]]) best friend Dani Moonstar, despite being older and noticeably more sexually active, is also usually depicted as a modestly endowed rangy/athletic sort. At least until she showed up in Avengers: The Initiative. Now she's "poppin out all over".
** Shadowcat is usually depicted as being skinny, which tends to hold over across most artists, though she ''was'' thirteen in her first appearance. At the very least, even when shown having a healthy bust herself, she's depicted as smaller than the other X-Women.
** Likewise, the young Jubilee from ''Generation X'' is "under-endowed" by usual standards, especially after artists began emphasizing her Asian features. In one issue, she's sitting between Psylocke and Black Widow; [[http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/5717/002b4g7c.jpg Jubilee looks down to her chest, and makes a disappointed face]]. However, after appearing in the recent New Warriors series, it appears that someone has implanted something resembling Microsoft's X-Box into each side of Jubilee's chest. Whether or not this is the artist or something different is still unknown.
** Both Shadowcat and Jubilee are constantly having their ages adjusted (either upward or downward) to suit the preferences of whoever is writing the comic they're in at the moment as well as to account for ComicBookTime, which aside from screwing with continuity will naturally result in fluctuation of their bust size.
** The current co-leader of the X-Men, Emma Frost, is actually a bit of a subversion. Yes, that Emma Frost. She's one of the few heroines or villainnesses in any comic book universe who actually has breast implants. Or, at least, admits to it.
** Some artists have insisted on giving even the above characters DD or larger breasts for the length of their term. A rumor claims that when one writer complained about the enormous breasts on a character, the artist (Rob Liefeld) said that he didn't know how to draw "flat-chested women."
** The latest post-Post-Crisis version of {{Supergirl}} has a notably smaller bust compared to her pre-Crisis and "Matrix" incarnations, and ''especially'' in comparison to her alternate-earth counterpart Power Girl (see description below and picture above), a fact explicitly pointed out by the similarly less-endowed Stargirl - especially when drawn by Michael Turner and Brandon Peterson, the main artists who "originated" the re-envisioned character. However, both Kara and Stargirl are not consistently portrayed in this regard by all artists.
** Supergirl's case was lampshaded by Lex Luthor when he made a remark about her wearing the S-shield on her "less than impressive chest." Ironically, her counterpart from the Earth-2 universe is ''Power Girl''.
** Though she's normally very well endowed in the comics, the ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' version of Hawkgirl is much less pronounced in this regard, especially when compared to WonderWoman. But Hawkgirl's bra went up several sizes after DC's "One Year Later" stunt -- she went from a 'C' to an 'F' under artist Howard Chaykin, a change that continued into her appearances in the relaunched ''JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'' series.
*** Hmm... during Infinite Crisis, she [[http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/File:Hawkgirl_52.jpg grew incredibly large]] and had to be shrunk back down to normal size. Maybe the scientists missed a spot or two?
** Some artists at least make an effort to give teenage martial artist Cassandra Cain ([[{{Batman}} Batgirl]] III) a plausible build for her age and lifestyle. Others... don't.
** In ''BirdsOfPrey'', thinking the original Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) is back, a cop identifies her as the Batgirl "with the red hair and the big...".
***Understandable, given the covers of the recent ''Oracle'' miniseries (especially the cover of the second issue).
** When JossWhedon decided to continue ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' in comic book form, he had to search for an artist who could draw the main character with any kind of anatomical correctness compared with her actor. In keeping with the feminist themes of the story, the final product features women with average-sized chests. In contrast, he must have failed to find anyone like that to draw the ''{{Angel}}'' comic book continuation. Every single woman is now in a figure hugging and/or revealing outfit, with assets to match, and constantly striking implausible and unnecessary poses to display this. While in one case (Gwen) this is actually in line, in other cases (e.g. Illyria) the new fuller physique is in quite a contrast to the original character on TV.
** Joss also found an artist who could draw slightly built women for Fray, as Joss' intro to the TPB clearly states: "I wanted a real girl, with real posture, a slight figure (that's my classy way of saying "little boobs")". He also clearly says how influenced he was by the previously mentioned Shadowcat, as his run with ''Astonishing [[XMen X-men]]'' shows.
** Death from ''TheSandman'' managed to be quite beautiful while also quite averagely proportioned.
** Though SquirrelGirl of {{Marvel}} comics is fairly well-endowed by normal standards, she looks positively skinny next to most superheroines. Squirrel Girl's teammate Big Bertha both averts this trope while paradoxically playing it absolutely straight. She has the ability to gain massive "superbulk," making her appear massively obese. A side effect of this power is the ability to shape her body however she wants; when not being a superhero, she usually chooses to be a supermodel, obviously of the Victoria's Secret type.
** ''Spider-Girl'' has always had a realistic build for a teen athlete, despite her mother's body rivaling even the most curvaceous female super in most depictions. Mayday seems to take after her father, both in powers and body type. And while not quite on par with Jubilee, she doesn't have a "super-bust", either.
** As originally drawn in the 1940's, WonderWoman had an average chest. Obviously, things have changed since then. Tellingly, she is described as ''canonically'' [[MostWritersAreMale the most beautiful woman in DC]]. All the beholders have the same tastes, then?
*** Black Canary once told Wonder Woman that she has "our community's second most famous bosom." The most famous ones are Power Girl's.
**** Averted, sorta, in ''Identity Crisis'', when Green Arrow muses that Slipknot's eyes don't stare at Wonder Woman's cleavage, but to her hip, where the "real action" is - her Magic Lasso (and its polygraph ability.)
** Doctor Light from ''CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' and ''[[JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League Europe]]'' is a mature woman who is modestly endowed.
** SheHulk is on record as the single most buxom female character in the MarvelUniverse while her powers are active, but when she's not "hulked out", her proportions are perfectly average. This is recognized even by herself in the cover of one of the John Byrne-penned issues of her solo title. An inter-dimensional villain named "The Living Eraser" had her "erased" from neck to navel in the process of 'transferring' him to her own dimension. She-Hulk looked at her missing section in horror, screaming: "You trying to ruin me? [[FourthWall You think readers buy this comic for the stories]]?".
*** This was lampshaded when She-hulk was put on trial by the Time Variance Authority and facing the punishment of being erased from the continuum and replaced by other heroines, if she could not prove that she was irreplacable. Her friend the spacetrucker Razorback testified about an incident where a convenient [[ClothingDamage destruction of her spacesuit]] distracted a group of attacking pirates, and made them run their ship into an asteroid.
---> See? THAT's what makes She-Hulk special! Ya think any other supergal's rack could have done THAT?! I mean c'mon, they're out to HERE, man!
* Played straight and subverted by Caitlin Fairchild from ''{{Gen13}}''; whilst in her superhero persona her [[ClothingDamage clothing is frequently destroyed]] but she's left unharmed, and in civilian attire she [[InnerMonologue complains internally]] about getting lecherous stares from passers-by; and her teammates - one of whom is a very open lesbian. In the most recent version of ''Gen13'', when Grunge absorbed Caitlin's power, he also acquired [[NightmareFuel her bust size]]. Apparently, boobs ARE part of her superpowers. In the post-[[CanonDisContinuity Worldstorm]] version, she was explicitly [[MsFanservice genetically engineered for attractive appearance]]. Regardless of continuity, her large breasts were always part of her powers. In her first appearance, she suddenly turns from mousy and petite to [[HotAmazon muscular and curvy]] when her powers activate. This is attributed to an increase in "[[BoobsOfSteel muscle mass]]". Well, carrying those around could count as weightlifting.
** The same comic gives us Roxy 'Freefall' Spaulding, who has a far more modest figure, allegedly based on Natalie Portman. In the crossover with Monkeyman and O'Brien, however, we get to see evil alternate-universe versions of the team. Evil Roxy looks much like regular Roxy, except with [[EvilIsSexy much bigger boobs]].
* Subversion: During the classic "Judas Contract" storyline in the 1980s Wolfman/Perez ''[[Comicbook/TeenTitans New Teen Titans]]'', modestly-endowed Tara "Terra" Markov makes several disparaging remarks about the other female Titans' larger bust sizes, including the immortal appellation "Balloon-Bod" for Starfire.
* In the ''ElfQuest'' comics, Dewshine is pretty much the only elf without a D-cup. Of course, most of them wear {{Stripperific}} clothing.
* Subverted in the Capes backup of ''{{Invincible}}'' #27, wherein Knockout dons large prosthetic breasts while getting into costume. Her also superpowered boyfriend comments that he wished she "didn't have to wear those anymore," to which she replies that her salary has doubled since she started wearing them, and that "the world just doesn't ''want'' flat-chested superheroines."
** Parodied later in that same series. When Atom Eve rebuilds herself using her matter-manipulation powers, in the middle of a life-or-death fight, she takes the opportunity to make some "improvements" by upping her cup-size. ''Subconciously''. She then passes out, and is quite surprised by her new figure when she wakes up in the hospital.
* Boo Cat and Licorice Dust are the least-endowed characters in ''Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose'', which means Jim Balent didn't give them gigantic bazookas like the rest of the female cast. He merely provided them with racks that would look right at home at the {{Playboy}} mansion. Raven Hex's diary entries in one issue are a protracted rant against her enormous rack and the reaction she gets from the townies, and then end with a declaration of "I've got it, [[{{Fanservice}} I'll flaunt it]]." And why don't we mention the ''enormously'' talented Latex Red, who has actually two A-bombs hidden in the enormous boobs?
* Jim Balent gives 99.9% of female characters gigantic, round, shining bazookas ready to explode. He drew Catwoman with a massive rack for a long time, which is against almost all other depictions of the character. As an agile cat burglar, she's supposed to be lithe and athletic. A pair like that would make it tricky to slide through small spaces and leap across rooftops.
* Comic book cover artist Adam Hughes' pinups almost always portrays women with the Most Common Super Power. To his credit, he is one of the few to draw his women with the sort of physique that large breasted women usually have - broader hips and thicker waists.
* The same goes for Frank Cho, the creator of ''LibertyMeadows'' as well as an artist and writer on various other comic books. His women tend to be tall, with wide hips, bodacious rear ends and muscles. Adam Hughes himself said that if he could choose between a real-life incarnation of one of his girls or one of Frank's, he'd pick Frank's every time.
* Averted in DC Comic's new Manhunter. Although it varies by artist, Kate Spencer's appearance was deliberately designed to have more athletic proportions.
* Spoofed in the comic ''Young Justice'', when mousy archaeologist Nina Dowd is tranformed into the super-villainess Mighty Endowed, and finds her breasts are now so big she can't stand up without help.
* Likewise, when Arrowette is convinced that she's going to have to turn evil, one of her major concerns is the costume that goes with a lifetime of villainy.
--->'''Arrowette''': Oh God... I'll have to get a tight, skimpy, black leather outfit that shows off my cleavage. Oh God... I'll have to get cleavage.
* [[AuthorAppeal A good 95% of the female characters]] drawn by PhilFoglio have this power.
* In DC's ''Final Crisis'' #3, it was revealed that turning evil and entering the service of Darkseid had endowed Mary Marvel with, among other things, an even larger bustline than her normal. Yes, that's right. Darkseid, Lord of Apokolips, "the god that Satan prays to", now gives ''boob jobs'' to minions. Weeell... it's either that or she "Shazam!"ed for it. This could be explained by the fact that she was possessed by Desaad at the time, who is every bit as perverse as his name implies.
* Openly lampshaded and mocked, like a great deal else, in ''{{Empowered}}'':
-->'''Empowered''': "'Racktastic'? Having allegedly large breasteses, that's ''not'' a superpower. Okay?" \\
'''Ninjette''': "''Au contraire'', Count Rackula. Believe me, I would ''so'' flaunt them [[{{Pettanko}} if I had 'em]]." \\
'''Empowered''': "That I ''do'' believe, coming from someone with 'Ninjette' printed across the back of her shorts."
* Luba from ''Love and Rockets'' and most of her female relatives. L&R does have a fair share of very busty female characters, but a lot of them are pretty full-figured in general & thus have normal proportions. Los Bros. Hernandez have a thing for chubby girls.
* [[Series/GoldDigger Gold Digger]] fulfills this trope to a T.
* Paul Dini's ''Madame Mirage'' regularly bounces around in a very low-cut strapless dress without exposing her very voluptuous assets; justified, in that [[spoiler:she's a hologram]].
* [[http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/2525/agent327prent01.jpg Olga Lawina ]]from the Dutch comic AGENT 327
* ''Lady Death'' (not Death of the Endless) deserves mention here too, if only because, like Power Girl, she was unusually stacked even by comic-book standards and combined it with an outfit even more {{Stripperiffic}} than usual. More recent incarnations usually have her built more like other superheroines, though she still wears the bikini, stockings, and heels. Lady Death getting her own book was seen as a major catalyst to the "Bad Girl" craze of the mid-nineties.
* Lampshaded in one of the last BloomCounty strips. Steve Dallas is showing Opus a comic book, and points out to him that, "all the women look like DollyParton in zero gravity!"
* ''SinCity'' started out by playing this straight, but with each book the women got [[{{ItGotWorse}} less and less curvy]]. All, that is, but for Nancy, who was comparable to Jessica Rabbit in every appearence she had. And how.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Film ]]

* In ''My Super Ex-Girlfriend'', the advent of G-Girl's metahuman abilities is heralded by an, er, expansion, of her bosom, followed by several other cosmetic changes. Which is a total BigLippedAlligatorMoment, as no one ever points this out and her breast expansion is never once mentioned in the entire film. As well as the fact that in every scene of her as an adult, G-Girl seems to be pretty average sized up top.
* {{Terminator}} 3 lampshades this since the T-X is able to adjust its breast size and shape to better win over male humans.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Literature ]]

* Ayla from Jean M Auel's ''[[EarthsChildren Earth's Children]]'' series has so many [[MarySue Mary Sue]][[IncrediblyLamePun perpowers]] that she's just one cape shy of being the {{superhero}} of the StoneAge. She just so happens to have huge breasts which are surprisingly firm and bouncy given their size and the fact that she's nursed babies.
*{{Lampshaded}} in Perry Moore's ''Hero,'' where pyrokinetic Miss Scarlet says during an icebreaker that she grew up by a nuclear power plant and one day in her teens she woke up with her flame powers and "a rack that would make Dolly Parton jealous."

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Live Action TV ]]

* Midway through each season of ''WhoWantsToBeASuperhero'', the remaining contestants receive cover art for their potential comic books. All the female contestants are inevitably depicted with some serious cleavage, even those that are actually flat-chested. To be fair, all the male contestants were drawn as buffed out, regardless of their actual physique.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Tabletop Games ]]

* ''Mutant Chronicles'' has several examples (Valerie Duval, the goddess Ilian), but most importantly the nepharite Golgotha.
* A third party DnD book "Chainmail bikini" has the feats ''Anatomically Over-Endowed'' (also known as ''My face is up there'', combat penalties to those possibly attracted to you) ''Cleavage'' (a certain type of secondary weapon, requires the above) and ''Epic Anatomically Over-Endowed''.
* ''{{GURPS}}'' calls this [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness "enhanced female secondary sexual characteristics"]]. It's a zero point feature that often accompanies a level or two a Appearance.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Video Games ]]

* The MMORPG ''Vanguard: Saga of Heroes'' includes a huge amount of ability to customize the look of your character--there's a slider bar for amount of overbite, for heaven's sake. Nonetheless, the smallest breasts one can give a female character are rather generous.
* Similarly, ''City Of Heroes'' includes a Chest slider. Diligent research by interested parties has calculated the ''minimum'' chest size achievable as a C-cup, average as DD, and the maximum as a gravity-defying HH.
* ''Champions Online'', by the same developer seems to have kept this feature, for what should now be considered obvious reasons. This is further coupled by an overall "chest depth" slider which leads to questionably built human beings with the most powerful of most common super powers.
** It should be mentioned that the default female toon in the character editor has the breast size slider set to maximum. They know their [[strike:audience]] source material.
* Fairly common in 2D fighting games, probably because the low resolutions used don't lend to subtlety... [[{{Fanservice}} or maybe they do]]. In any case, almost any female character beyond puberty is drawn with perky chests and marked curves, with few exceptions and regardless of their stated 3-sizes.
* ''MortalKombat''. Almost every female fighter in the series sports {{Stripperific}} garb, and their breasts seem to range between D and F. Most of them fall near the top end. A semi-exception is Ashrah's primary costume, which is modest but doesn't hide the fact that she has a generous bust.
* [[FatalFury Mai Shiranui]], to some the embodiment of {{Gainaxing}}. This status is [[LampshadeHanging made fun of]] several times, such as in one of the CapcomVsWhatever games when [[StreetFighter Dhalsim]] hints that her breasts add a few pounds to her weight.
* ''In SoulCalibur IV'', most of the concept art for female characters pretty much featured all of them with upgraded 'assets'. The in-game models tend to be a little less buxom, but not by much. Sophitia, in particular, has grown considerably in size from the first game, where she actually looked like a slim teenage girl. The Character Creation mode, at least, gives you the option of a wide range of bust sizes, including flat chested. Interestingly, while the "Physique" scale for male characters changes their body's overall size, for female characters it seems to exclusively govern breasts and posterior.
* Most of the female cast of the ''DeadOrAlive'' games have quite large chests, for [[{{Fanservice}} obvious reasons]].
**Let's not forget that in DOA2 they made a graphics engine specifically for the motion of breasts while fighting, since the assets of the female fighters were what drove many to the series. They also gave an option to turn breast bouncing on or off.
* ''Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma'' is an extreme case - Ayane (of ''DeadOrAlive''), Rachel and Momiji are all "Team Ninja Busty." The ability to jiggle their breasts is even a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLOCj5ixUSc major selling point of the game]].
* Although none of the obviously female racial images are exactly flat-chested, the Mrrshans in the first MasterOfOrion game are quite well endowed. What's seen of the diplomat's outfit isn't much like that of Power Girl, mentioned above, but it does have a similar device for putting cleavage on prominent display.
* Tifa Lockhart in ''FinalFantasyVII'' probably qualifies, although BoobsOfSteel is more on the mark.
* FinalFantasy X has Lulu, a SquishyWizard with an emphasis on "squishy."
* The ''{{Magna Carta}}'' series ''lives'' on this trope. As does any work by series illustrator Hyung-Tae Kim.
* [[ValkyriaChronicles Selvaria]], oh, God, Selvaria. While no one specifically comments on it, most of her major scenes focus either on her flaming blue badassity, or her.. um, "talents", and the jiggling is truly astounding when the camera's on them. One particularly dramatic scene suffers because of the focus on her breasts bouncing around in ''different directions''.
* The cancelled Peter Molyneux game B.C featured NPC Cavewomen with huge, gravity defying boobage. This is made either [[FetishFuel better]] or [[{{Squick}} worse]] by the fact that the player could choose who in the tribe mates with whom, essentially deciding the physical attributes of each generatation. So whereas the first gen tribes are [[{{Pettanko}} quite small]], by the time you've reached Gen6 it's welcome to booby town.
* ''SuperRobotWars'' takes this trope to ridiculous heights beginning with ''{{Super Robot Wars Alpha}}2'', when {{gainaxing}} was introduced for female [[SuperMovePortraitAttack pilot cut-ins]] of the OriginalGeneration, but have since toned down relatively for newer releases. [[EndlessFrontier Its spinoff series]], however, takes this UpToEleven.

[[folder: Webcomics ]]

* In Scott Kurtz's ''[=PvP=]'', Jade complains that she can't make a super-heroine on [=NCSoft=]'s ''CityOfHeroes'' {{MMORPG}} without producing an avatar with a back-breaking pair of breasts. When Brent and Francis explain that this condition fits the genre, [[http://www.pvponline.com/2004/06/12/sat-jun-12/ Jade retaliates]] by naming her character ''the Titillator'' with the battle-cry macro, "Eyes up here!" On the other hand, she's got a decent pair herself, and her bustier sister Miranda uses hers as psychological weapons. After failing to manipulate a male character on one occasion, she looked down at her breasts and asked, "Are these on?" Brent once dreamed of Jade in a classic comic-book style - appropriately drawn by Frank Cho himself - and was awestruck with the results.
* Alternately parodied and embraced in ''{{Supermegatopia}}'', especially by the characters of Buxom Gal, an explicit parody of Power Girl whose breasts expand as she absorbs energy and contract as she uses it, and Distraction Damsel, whose "super power" is to distract bad guys (and everyone else) with her assets and precisely-timed "wardrobe malfunctions".
* Subverted in [[http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/ps238/comics/index.php?date=2008-04-09 these]] [[http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/ps238/comics/index.php?date=2008-04-11 two]] ''{{PS238}}'' strips. Villainess "The Kestrel" is blackmailed with medical pictures proving that hers aren't all-natural. She had it done because she's "got a mystique to maintain in this business." Beyond that, author/artist Aaron Williams rarely portrays any of his women with the Most Common Superpower. Especially Piffany, who is short and rather dumpy.
* Ellen from ''ElGoonishShive'' has this pretty literally: her "superpower" is to transform anyone, including herself, into a beautiful, busty, long-haired girl. Her own assets have occasionally been refered to as the "Wonder Twins" on this basis, both in comics and within fandom.
* The whole premise of the webcomic ''[[http://sidekickgirl.comicgenesis.com/ Sidekick Girl]]'' is that superheroes are chosen because they "look the part" and sidekicks are assigned on the basis of the heroes' needs. This leaves the intelligent and skillful but [[HollywoodHomely relatively plain]] Valerie as HypercompetentSidekick to a telegenic and curvacious blonde bombshell [[TheBrainlessBeauty Brainless Beauty]] named Illumina, who has tended to get a long string of sidekicks killed with her incompetence. Valerie was picked because she can't die—and [[BlessedWithSuck that's it]]. No HealingFactor, no immunity to injury or pain. She just doesn't ''die'' from anything. She can suffer, though. Man, can she suffer.
* Discussed in [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp06022003.shtml this strip]] from ''SomethingPositive'':
-->'''Aubrey:''' Oh, I wanna be a superhero! All that power and might! The cool abilities and costumes! The shockingly perfect boobie-spheres that have their own unique center of gravity!\\
'''Davan:''' I noticed fighting for truth and justice wasn't in that little wish list.\\
'''Aubrey:''' Davan, super women have super boobies. Super boobies are a "get out of fighting for good" card in the Monopoly game that is our lives.
* Kanazuchi Yuuki of ''SparklingGenerationValkyrieYuuki'', to the point where she can use [[GenderBender "her"]] breasts as a [[http://www.sgvy.com/archives/Edda1/Issue2/Page1.html ''monster detector'']].
-->'''Yuuki''': "Note to Self: Jiggle = bad stuff."
* The character Joule from the web comic ''WICKEDPOWERED'' has this power, and a whole lot of it. [[http://wickedpowered.com/d/20070702.html Example]].
* The titular character of ''The Challenges of Zona'' and even more so the giantess Liri who would be at least a DD if she was human. Being around 15 feet tall her breasts pretty much demand their own zip code.
* Slick from ''Sinfest'' knows this trope. [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2116 See for yourself.]]
* Ash Upton is by far the best endowed female character in ''{{Misfile}}'', as befits the daughter of a langerie model...much to her chagrin, as she's [[GenderBender actually a boy.]]
* Fa'lina of [[DanAndMabsFurryAdventures DMFA]], as seen [[http://missmab.com/Comics/Ab_070.php here.]] It is used as a joke at least once in Abel's backstory.
* Endemic to the [[GirlGenius Sparkiverse]]. In fact, this is one of the pieces of evidence collected by [[AIIsACrapshoot Castle Heterodyne]] that [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20071010 Agatha is indeed a girl]].
** Girl Genius artist and author Phil Foglio was asked about this in an interview. His reply? He likes to draw women "realisticly."

* Played with in the online story ''InterviewingLeather'': Leather is a supervillain who used to be a superhero. Amongst her reasons for her FaceHeelTurn is the fact that she didn't look like a superhero: she was only a B-cup and most heroines had at least double D's. "You know what they call it? SideKick physique." Then again, she may be an UnreliableNarrator making excuses. Especially given that female supervillains are, if anything, even ''more'' inclined toward having supersized breasts and skimpy costumes that barely hide them.
* In the ''LeagueOfIntergalacticCosmicChampions'' Hamburger Pattie lived up to this trope while Frangelica was the inversion. Guess which character was written by a man & which by a woman?
* [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in the ''WhateleyUniverse'', since the Exemplar power that a lot of these teenaged mutants possess reshapes their body image to what they subconsciously think it ought to be. Hence, a lot of these teenaged girls have huge tracts of land for their age, just as a lot of these teenaged boys look way too buff for growing high school boys. However, main character Phase is an A-cup, and main character Generator is ecstatic when she gets all the way ''up'' to an A-cup, having been flat as a boy beforehand. Having [[WholesomeCrossdresser (technically)]] ''been'' a boy beforehand.
* Done (but certainly no more or less justified than in any other instance) in ''{{Pokegirls}}'', in which the female monsters were created by the BigBad MadScientist [[MeaningfulName Sukebe]], who made the majority of them ''very'' well endowed.
* Faun Reinaka of {{Tasakeru}}, as befitting her [[IncrediblyLamePun bombshell]] nature.

* ''TeenTitans'': Raven has the [[GagBoobs largest breasts]] out of all the girls in the show. Starfire, on the other hand, has none at all, a major departure from her comic-book depiction, where she's usually the resident GagBoobs.
** Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that Starfire has [[http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Starfire-Collage-teen-titans-35081_699_562.jpg "none"...]]
* In ''WolverineAndTheXMen'', every female sans the younger, more underage ones, seems to have this most infamous, yet welcome, trait. And they are not at all afraid to show it.
* The girls of {{WITCH}}, both in the comics and the animated series, are all [[BiggerIsBetter pleased]] when their powers make their breasts effectively double in size. Some, like [[GagBoobs eye-popping]] Irma, are a bit ''too'' enthused...tellingly her attempts to take advantage of them ends in embarrassment and her ego getting deflated. It goes without saying BreastExpansion is a common source of comedy in both the comic and animated versions:
**Played with, in the form of characters Will and Hay Lin. Both are, in their civilian forms, completely flat-chested and ''extremely'' insecure about it, especially card carrying {{Pettanko}} Will. When they transform, however, they both gets free D-cups which they're both very proud of. In one instance though [[TheLibby Cornelia's]] mom accuses Hay Lin of stuffing her bra when she sees her transformed...Hay Lin's response is to look pissed and puff out her chest more.
**Played straight with {{Tomboy}} Irma and RichBitch Cornelia: they're rather buxom for their age in human form, and in Guardian form they're even bigger. Of the two Irma is canonically "the biggest" but in defiance of BiggerIsBetter her chest tends to be the source of jokes instead of praise.
* Ninja Mutant Leela from ''{{Futurama}}'' has [[GagBoobs huge breasts]].
* From ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'''s BeachEpisode, we learn of Ty Lee's large...assets.
* Mentioned twice in SupermanBatmanPublicEnemies. Superman, Batman, and Power Girl are enlisting the help of Japanese teen-supergenius Toyman, and Power Girl arrived several hours earlier. Superman and Batman meet her when they first enter Toyman's tower, but she refuses to go back in with them. We soon find out why.
-->'''Toyman''': Did you guys see Power Girl on your way in? Well, if you do see her, tell her I'm sorry about the x-ray goggles.
** Later, Toyman is readying his Superman/Batman robot-rocket to launch:
-->'''Superman''': Are you sure this thing can do the job?
-->'''Toyman''': Does Power Girl have big--
-->'''Batman''': Just input the codes!
