History Main / Hunk

%%* From ''Series/{{Degrassi}}'', Spinner, Sean, Jay and Riley fit this trope.

%%* [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent The Captain]], Pip Bernadotte, and Alexander Anderson from ''Anime/{{Hellsing}}''.

* * ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3FutureRedeemed'': In contrast with his younger KidHero appearance in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'', Rex has transformed completely into a muscular titan of a man strong enough two weild a greatsword in each hand. His more ruggard appearance contrasts with Shulk, who's long hair and softer features makes him more LongHairedPrettyBoy.

%%* At the end of ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'', we get to see a picture of [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2 Rex]] from some time after the game's end. Let's just say he went from the scrawny salvager to a real stud, [[spoiler:[[{{Polyamory}} and gave Pyra, Mythra, and Nia a baby each.]]]]

%%* Crow perfectly qualifies as the Hunk in ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland''.

%%* Shinya Kogami and Sakuya Tougane from ''Anime/PsychoPass''.

* Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Franchise/{{Batman}} is also frequently drawn in a hunky manner.

* ComicBook/SpiderMan is usually drawn to be like this, particularly when out of costume as Peter Parker. Although in the last decades, more than a few artists have him be more of a beanpole. Regardless he’s a famous ChickMagnet.
* ComicBook/NamorTheSubmariner is very much so.
* ComicBook/{{Colossus}} is extremely muscular and he's a very good-looking HuskyRusskie.
* Franchise/{{Superman}} is usually drawn this way. [[SecretIdentity Clark Kent]] varies by the artist. It serves two purposes - both to show off his physical perfection as the Man of Steel and to make him look more like a back-country farmboy (farm work being famous for building big, heavy muscles).

* Atlas/Goliath in ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}'' becomes this after he is given a facial disguise by Techno/Fixer. He likes it so much he asked him to make it permanent.

* Millions Knives from ''AnimeTrigunStampede''. Contrasting Vash and his softer look, under his cloak Knives is surprisingly buff. He looks much more threatening and masculine beside his slimmer, gentler brother.

** The most noticeable examples in the titular guild include [[RatedMForManly Elfman]] (who got [[TopHeavyGuy even bigger]] latter), Gajeel (who's got the abs while having a FaceOfAThug), Laxus, and Gildarts (confirmed to have slept with ''at least'' a dozen women in his life).

* Due to [[WorldOfBadass the nature]] [[RatedMForManly of the form of fiction]], almost every male wrestler ever, including Rocky Johnson, Tony Atlas, Wrestling/{{Batista}}, Chris Masters, Wrestling/ChrisJericho, Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}, Wrestling/RickRude, Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} O'Shaunessy, Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin and Wrestling/ValVenis, among many others.

** Non-human, non-fanservice example: There are a few Pokémon with muscular, {{Heroic Build}}s and an overall RatedMForManly motif, invoking this trope among others. The Machop line (mainly Machoke and Machamp) are the most noteworthy examples.

* Brawny brand paper towels has their classic mustachioed hunk and their newer clean shaven lumberjack hunk. In their newer ads their new hunk is now portrayed a giant, something that appeals to some people.

* Robert Baratheon from ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' was this as a young man, contrasting PrettyBoy Rhaegar Targaryen.

** Arthur Morgan is a tall, handsome and rather charismatic cowboy with rugged, masculine features, with a very pleasant-sounding Southern accent that's both badass and [[MrFanService attractive in a bedroom-ish way]], and [[InnocentBlueEyes light blue eyes]]. The real-life people he's often compared to are Creator/ChrisPine, Creator/BradleyCooper, Creator/BradPitt, Creator/ChrisHemsworth, and especially a young Creator/ClintEastwood. Many characters, both female [[EvenTheGuysWantHim and male]], are even quick to compliment him on his good looks, depending on how well-groomed his appearance is. Even when he is overweight or underweight he is still clearly quite a Hunk. Players would have to try their absolute hardest to not make him look attractive. Most players will spend most of their time dressing Arthur up to make him look [[SharpDressedMan dapper]] and some also tend to make him look like Leon Kennedy from ''Franchise/ResidentEvil.'' You can also have him bath, showing off his well-muscled body. Just be sure not to call him a [[PrettyBoy "pretty boy"]], [[BerserkButton though]].

** Taiga Saejima, Majima's [[BloodBrothers sworn brother]] (and [[AmbiguouslyGay possibly]] [[ManlyGay lover]]) is also tall, brick-jawed and ripped. In fact, he is one of few people who can make Kiryu look petite and slender. Though his appearance shifts around a bit depending on the game and game engine, he is generally quite handsome.

* The aptly named He-Man from ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983''.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'': One of the more common criticisms of the series was how buff the turtles were when compared to their 80s' counterparts. Between their muscular designs and their mature voices, [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/70eb8de6742539d3656a76d529394857/tumblr_inline_n0pgx1YXx41qd3bt3.jpg the turtles]] did not appear to be teenagers to a lot of fans.

** To name a few others, [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/3/36/Cdzanltl.png/revision/latest?cb=20170218211518 Shredder]], [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/tmnt/images/c/c1/SilverSentry_btts.png/revision/latest?cb=20080929164724 Silver Sentry]] and the Justice Force, [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/tmnt/images/6/64/Hun_TMNT_2003.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140206141725 Hun]] (leader of the Purple Dragons), the entire [[https://pre00.deviantart.net/1cd8/th/pre/f/2017/139/7/7/tmnt2003_triceraton_montage_by_giuseppedirosso-d7jog0t.jpg Triceriton race]]. Frankly, it might be easier to list the male characters that were ''not'' designed this way.

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': Alejandro
* The Specialists of ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub''.

* ''Manga/AkameGaKill'' has Bulat. Even though he [[spoiler: does not hide the fact about his homosexuality]], he is the manliest guy with a body that even makes Tatsumi jealous.

* Tengen Uzui from ''Manga/DemonSlayer''. Tengen is very tall, very muscular and, according to several characters, very handsome.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'':
** The ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' franchise has Prince Charming, another [[PrinceCharmless villainous]] hunk.

** Tobias Eaton is this here as well as in the [[Literature/{{Divergent}} the book]]. Played by the gorgeous Creator/TheoJames who adds TallDarkAndHandsome, BadassBaritone and a couple of {{Shirtless Scene}}s with his rugged handsome self.

** ''Film/ManOfSteel''. The titular superhero ticks all the boxes. HeroicBuild? Check. LanternJawOfJustice? Check. CarpetOfVirility? Check. TallDarkAndHandsome? Check. A powerful BadassBaritone courtesy of Creator/HenryCavill? Check, check, ''check''. There's no doubt that this version of Franchise/{{Superman}} is a perfect example of Hunk.

** Arthur Morgan is a tall, handsome and rather charismatic cowboy with rugged, masculine features, with a very pleasant-sounding Southern accent that's both [[BadassBaritone badass]] and [[MrFanService attractive in a bedroom-ish way]], and [[InnocentBlueEyes light blue eyes]]. The real-life people he's often compared to are Creator/ChrisPine, Creator/BradleyCooper, Creator/BradPitt, Creator/ChrisHemsworth, and especially a young Creator/ClintEastwood.

** Goku as an adult. He goes from a small cute kid, to a muscular handsome adult that a lot of ladies fall for. Even Bulma begins to pine for him even as she's courting Vegeta. In the dub, he has a deep voice that becomes deeper when he's mad or when he goes Super Saiyan 3 and 4.

* In ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'', Vault is described as "huge, almost herculean in physique", with chiseled features. His appearance of a hero of old hides a [[BigBad nasty]] [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain heart]], however, making him a rare villainous example. A perfect foil to LeanAndMean AntiHero, Kyril Sutherland.

His face tends to be squarish and sharp-featured, often with a [[LanternJawOfJustice prominent chin]]. He has big, well-muscled arms and a [[HeroicBuild large torso with a slim waist]] with pronounced muscles. He also has fairly thick, muscular legs, though they get less attention. [[BiggerIsBetterInBed It is often implied that he is as well-endowed between the legs as in the arms]]. The hunk may or may not have [[CarpetOfVirility body hair]], depending on the time period, and facial hair is negotiable. Guaranteed, however, to adopt PermaStubble during his choice moments as MrFanservice.

** [[MrFanservice Mariano Guzmán]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'' is not only considered "[[TallDarkAndHandsome The Man of my Dreams]]" by Dolores, but the fans also fell in love with him thanks to the fact that he is a muscular hunk with nice hair and sun-kissed skin. The fact that he has [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound Maluma]]'s voice helps a lot.

* [[{{Literature/Twilight}} Jacob Black]], and basically every other male werewolf. Also, [[TheBigGuy Emmett]] is consistently described as muscled "like a serious weightlifter" and bearlike, and is apparently so huge and [[BoisterousBruiser energetic]] that he scares Bella a little. This places him in stark contract to [[PrettyBoy every other male vampire]], except maybe [[TheBrute Felix]] from the Volturi.

* Jun-Yeong Jeon in ''Webcomic/{{Forestdale}}'' is practically the poster boy for DILFs everywhere, possessing an extremely muscular build that could make Hercules green with envy.
