Basic Trope: A character is strong despite appearing out of shape.
- Straight: Alice is fat, but she's able to throw and destroy cars with ease.
- Exaggerated: Alice is morbidly obese, but she wields enough physical power to move planetary bodies.
- Downplayed:
- Alice is slightly chubby and while she's far from the strongest character in the story, she's still leagues above the average man.
- Alice is Acrofatic and yields a huge amount of kinetic energy if she crashes into someone at top speed.
- Justified:
- Alice does a lot of intense exercises and consumes massive meals afterwards.
- Alice either is or has the DNA of a strong and bulky animal like a gorilla, bear or elephant.
- Alice has Super-Strength as a latent power. Her overweight body came about due to an addiction to junk food.
- Alice used to be something like a wrestler or lumberjack in the past and while she's let herself go, her muscles are still there.
- Alice still has more mass even though some of it is fat and she knows how to throw it around.
- Alice actually has a lower bodyfat percentage than most people, but look chubby due to her sheer mass.
- Alice's bulk gives her more physical resilience than someone who's tall and skinny.
- Inverted:
- Despite being rail thin, Alice hits like a truck.
- Alice has massive muscles, but despite this, she's rather weak.
- Subverted: People talk about Alice's strength, but she does nothing to show it off.
- Double Subverted: Until a vending machine nearly falls on Charles and she catches it with one arm.
- Parodied: Alice's usual method of attack is to roll over her enemies
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: Alice is fat... And that's about it.
- Enforced: "Not all overweight characters are weaklings".
- Lampshaded:
- "Don't let that pot belly fool you. Alice hits like a truck!"
- "you won't be making fun of my girth when I pound you into the ground!
- Invoked:
- Alice intentionally made herself obese so her enemies would have a hard time hurting her.
- Alice wants to be a wrestler and packs on a lot of weight so she'd be harder for her opponents to throw.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Alice does her best to avoid becoming overweight.
- Discussed: "If Alice is so strong, why does she look like a human pig?"
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed:
- For all her power, Alice often runs out of breath and suffers from heart problems.
- For all her strength, Alice's bulk slows her to a crawl, so she often struggles against much more agile foes.
- Reconstructed:
