Basic Trope: A child who has Super-Strength.
- Straight: Alice is a little girl who can lift very heavy objects.
- Exaggerated:
- Alice is a baby who can lift anything.
- All of the children are very strong.
- Goo-Goo-Godlike
- Downplayed: Alice is a teenager or older child who can lift up relatively heavy objects.
- Justified:
- Alice is a superhero.
- Alice is a member of a species that naturally has Super-Strength, even in childhood.
- Inverted: Alice is a very weak adult.
- Subverted:
- Alice seems to be lifting a boulder, but it turns out to be made of styrofoam.
- Alice looks like a child, but she's actually Older Than She Looks.
- Double Subverted:
- The boulder was made of styrofoam, but also had several weights attached to it that a typical child of her age couldn't lift.
- Alice is older than what her appearance would apply, but she's still considered a child by her species' standards.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted:
- Alice isn't any stronger than an average child her age.
- Alice is already an adult when she gets her Super-Strength abilities.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: "Alice is a really strong little kid, wow!"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: Whenever anyone needs to lift something heavy, they ask Alice to help them.
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: "I tried to shake little Alice's hand the other day, and she almost tore my arm off by accident!"
- Conversed: ???
- Implied: It's unknown how strong Alice really is, but she's occasionally shown lifting objects that realistically would be too heavy for her to lift.
- Played for Laughs:
- Alice constantly forgets how strong she is and it frequently leads to humorous situations, such as her causing Amusing Injuries to people.
- The sight of a very strong child is played as a comical contrast.
- Played for Drama: Alice Does Not Know Her Own Strength, and is portrayed as an Unstable Powered Child. It leads to people around her being harmed, even if she's just trying to show affection. She feels horrible about what's happening.
- Played for Horror: Alice is an Enfante Terrible who uses her strength to harm others.
