History Main / HulkingOut

* ''Fanfic/UnleashingOfADarkNight'': The Werewolves' Rage Form, only acquired through copious amounts of anger. [[OriginalCharacter Tomoya the Volt]] going into Rage Form involves muscle growth to a behemoth double her original size when she gets angry enough. As of Chapter 43, however, she gains a new form double ''that'' size in height. The author's note at the end of that chapter reveals that there's an ''even larger form double the size of'' '''''that''''' ''form'' that would come later.

* Spear the caveman from ''WesternAnimation/Primal2019'' undergoes this when he drinks a [[SuperSerum black liquid]] that had been used to make a gorilla-man bigger and stronger. Spear becomes a giant, monstrous version of himself who tears his opponents apart with ease.

* Mark Ruffalo's version of The Hulk in ''Film/TheAvengers2012'' shows Banner's control is improved. He Hulks out twice: Once when in great pain, once again during the film's big battle, showing a measure of acceptance and control. In the latter scene, Banner strolls towards a massive [[SpaceWhale Leviathan monster]] bearing down on the team. When Captain America tells him it is time to get angry and transform, he wryly admits that he's ''[[TranquilFury always]]'' angry and proceeds to Hulk-out, without breaking stride, before [[OneHitKill punching out the monster in one blow.]]

For some reason, [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolves in modern fiction]] are often subject to this type of transformation, rather than (just) the full moon. Can involve a SuperpoweredEvilSide or a JekyllAndHyde scenario. {{Berserk Button}}s are often involved as well. May result in a HeroicRROD. Compare TheBerserker for cases where the transformation is purely psychological. If this requires ''seeing'' yourself as the hulk, that's SelfPerceptionShapeshifting.

* Sweater Puppy and The Incredible Cunt from ''Webcomic/TheMagnificentMilkmaid''. Both turn into giant, large breasted [[AnythingThatMoves nymphomaniacs]] (in SP's case, a nymphomaniac werewolf) upon their triggers (Sweater Puppy from seeing or even thinking about the Moon, Incredible Cunt from being called "a cunt").

* The eponymous character of ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' goes through this OncePerEpisode.

See also OneWingedAngel, LimitBreak, SuperMode, TurnsRed, GrowingMusclesSequence and LivingMoodRing. Compare and contrast WorkingOutTheirEmotions, where rage (or another similarly negative emotion) drives someone to get stronger the old fashion way. See also TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening.

** King Sombra seemingly underwent this during his imprisonment in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E10SecretOfMyExcess The Crystal Empire]]".

** In "Secret of My Excess", Spike's draconic hoarding instincts go haywire, causing him to grow bigger, stronger, and greedier the more stuff he accumulates for his "hoard".
** King Sombra seemingly underwent this during his imprisonment in "The Crystal Empire".
** In the episode "Power Ponies", when the cast gets [[TrappedInTVLand sucked into a comic book]], [[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]] becomes Saddle Rager, who has this as her superpower. She's too bashful and soft-hearted to use it until she sees the Mane-iac [[KickTheDog swat an innocent bug]]. Such blatant animal cruelty causes Fluttershy to [[BewareTheNiceOnes go berserk and smash up the villain's doomsday device]].
** Lord Tirek grows bigger and stronger the more he uses his ManaDrain in "Twilight's Kingdom".

* From ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': HOMER MAD!!! HOMER SMASH!!! GET REVENGE ON WORLD!!!

-->-- ''LightNovel/KazeNoStigma''

* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', a hereditary blessing-turned-inconvenience makes protagonist Mei hulk into a giant red panda whenever she experiences extreme emotions (such as anger or excitement).

* In ''Literature/{{Twilight}}: New Moon'', Jacob and the other werewolves sometimes change into wolf form because of anger. The pack leader Sam's fiancee has disfiguring scars because Sam "lost control for a split-second."
