History Main / MightyGlacier

** The Harrison Armory Barbarossa is ''the'' slowest mech in the game, as well as the biggest; it's not going to outspeed or dodge anyone any time soon. It also packs ''the'' biggest gun in the game with its Apocalypse Rail, a ridiculously huge cannon more fit for ship-to-ship combat that ''will'' obliterate half the battlefield once fired. Don't have time for that? It also packs ''merely'' heavy armament like the Siege Cannon, and the tools to fire them continuously until everything in the battlefield is rubble and craters. It's an AwesomeButImpractical armor all in all, but you do ''not'' want to be anywhere near its sights.

A greater muscle mass (to a point) theoretically provides speed but the Mighty Glacier tends to use the heaviest equipment possible, sacrificing any speed for the pure crushing power that only he can achieve. Too much muscle can hinder speed and endurance to a degree, as some {{deconstruction}}s of Mighty Glacier characters show.[[note]]In RealLife, people with loads of muscle can still be fast and have endurance to a point but they most likely will not have the same as those with relatively less muscle mass, and lots of muscle can hinder agility and flexibility to a degree as well... but of course, some people work hard enough to be capable of doing it all LightningBruiser types[[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': King Sombra has a LivingShadow form that's massive enough to surround his entire PlaceOfPower, and his magic is strong enough to make even {{Physical God}}s like Princess Celestia and Princess Luna worry. However, he also moves like an AdvancingWallOfDoom and takes a while to react to any unexpected threats -- though he's also CrazyPrepared enough to where said "unexpected threats" are few and far between for him (in fact, most of his threat comes from all his precautions set before the good guys managed to come and slow him down).

* ''ComicBook/{{Archie}}'' has Coach Kleats. Kleats looks like the stereotypical out-of-shape gym coach with a prominent belly, and even in his student days, he was never built for speed. But he makes up for his lack of mobility by being able to rip home-run balls with ease ... or casually shoot long-range baskets on the court ... or throw a football pass with startling power and accuracy, all to the shock of his once-mocking students.

* Franchise/{{Batman}} and ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} villain Blockbuster. A hulking behemoth that plows through foes and scenery alike, straight up walking through walls through sheer power, but even in a rush he was never quick and too idiotic to try any maneuvering beyond swinging his arms around. Nightwing lampshaded it, seeing him as a rest from all the {{Lightning Bruiser}}s he's faced:

* ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}, yeah when's the last time you saw him run? The Lord of Apokolips can knock [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Krypton]][[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} ians]] around like beach balls and can wipe his foes from existence but any member of the [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League]] could beat him in a sprint. To make up for his low mobility Darkseid has SuperReflexes to the degree he can react in microseconds, not that he even ''needs to'' half the time as [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/pw/ADCreHefqikC9z8HkbMAuAEcmNpuXV5Pm-bsxwlMcIxT10kyiuq_NnhupU4fArPL6p77_LYSjbzsEgQV8DoKkpeOOAcgWxoWcLFXLu7whMPM3MqNL_mVLNs=s0?rhlupa=MjAwMTo4MDA0OjI3ZjE6YWMyNzo5MDllOjNjNjY6MzY3NjphNmRl&rnvuka=TW96aWxsYS81LjAgKGlQaG9uZTsgQ1BVIGlQaG9uZSBPUyAxN18wXzMgbGlrZSBNYWMgT1MgWCkgQXBwbGVXZWJLaXQvNjA1LjEuMTUgKEtIVE1MLCBsaWtlIEdlY2tvKSBWZXJzaW9uLzE3LjAuMSBNb2JpbGUvMTVFMTQ4IFNhZmFyaS82MDQuMQ seen when Superman tried]] to SpeedBlitz him in ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton2004''. Nonetheless, rejuvenated Darkseid in ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' averts this having [[https://comicnewbies.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/zeus-vs-darkseid-rebirth-5-e1514625118512.jpg?w=620 explicit]] SuperSpeed. He also has access to a special force, the Gravi-Guards; huge lumbering beings who can draw gravity from heavy-mass galaxies so strong that they can hold down the [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] Superman, albeit not without a fight.
* Solomon Grundy from Franchise/TheDCU. Being a zombie, he is very slow-moving, but he possesses great strength and power nonetheless. His strength tends [[DependingOnTheWriter to vary]], however, as he has gotten beaten down by Franchise/{{Batman}} before, while other times he has had enough strength to outbrawl Franchise/{{Superman}} with ease.

* Franchise/XMen:

** Colossus counts too. Even though he's easily much, much stronger than he is heavy, this doesn't translate into any speed advantage. In one X-Men issue, he is summoned to Limbo by his sister and has to chase down Baba Yaga--he could barely run faster than a shriveled old hag. Not only is he a slow runner but he's pretty sluggish in a fist fight too; Thor lampshades this when he curbstomps Peter without taking any hits in an issue of Cable and X-Force. This is pretty much why Colossus sticks to going toe-to-toe with opposing heavy-weight big guys and leaves the quicker ones to Beast or Wolverine. This is a case of DependingOnTheWriter, as early editions of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe attributed Colossus with impressive levels of speed in human form, and claimed he reached peak Olympic athlete levels of speed when he turned into metal.

** Post-TimeSkip, [[{{Cyborg}} Franky]] is the slowest member of the crew due to all the tech weighing him down. To compensate, Franky has the most firepower of anyone in the crew, being able to blow stuff up with the lasers from his arms and is still also a slugger up close as Señor Pink [[RapidFireFisticuffs discovered]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfPussInBoots'': Puss is chased by an extremely powerful Golem that is so slow that it has been no hassle for him to simply keep moving and stay ahead of it. Dulcinea is able to take a short walk out of town to meet up with it and talk, and it still takes it five hours from that point to make it to town.

** CuteBruiser Vita. She isn't particularly fast by the heroes' standards, and her attacks use a [[DropTheHammer really big hammer]] that doesn't swing particularly fast. On the other hand, she deals out immense amounts of damage and can endure life-threatening injuries very well, too.

** ''Series/KamenRiderKiva'': Kiva's Dogga form grants him SuperStrength, the [[DropTheHammer Dogga Hammer]] weapon, and heavy armor, but the weight again reduces his speed. Dogga himself also qualifies.

*** The titular character's [[UsefulNotes/IsaacNewton Newton]] Damashii and [[UsefulNotes/MusashiboBenkei Benkei]] Damashii are this, both increasing strength while decreasing speed; Newton grants GravityMaster powers while Benkei wields a [[DropTheHammer warhammer]].
