3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Alice is morbidly obese, but she wields enough physical power to move planetary bodies. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': |
5 | ** Alice is slightly chubby and while she's far from the strongest character in the story, she's still leagues above the average man. |
6 | ** Alice is {{Acrofatic}} and yields a huge amount of kinetic energy if she crashes into someone at top speed. |
7 | * '''Justified''': |

9 | ** Alice either is or has the DNA of a strong and bulky animal like a [[KillerGorilla gorilla]], [[BearsAreBadNews bear]] or [[WarElephants elephant]]. |
10 | ** Alice has SuperStrength as a latent power. Her overweight body came about due to an addiction to junk food. |
11 | ** 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. |

22 | * '''Averted''': Alice is fat... And that's about it. |
23 | * '''Enforced''': "Not all overweight characters are weaklings". |
24 | * '''Lampshaded''': |
25 | ** "Don't let that pot belly fool you. Alice hits like a truck!" |
26 | ** "you won't be making fun of my girth when I pound you into the ground! |
27 | * '''Invoked''': |
28 | ** Alice intentionally made herself obese so her [[{{Kevlard}} enemies would have a hard time hurting her]]. |

34 | * '''Deconstructed''': |
35 | ** For all her power, Alice often runs out of breath and suffers from heart problems. |
36 | ** For all her strength, Alice's bulk [[MightyGlacier slows her to a crawl]], so she often struggles against much more agile foes. |
37 | * '''Reconstructed''': |
38 | ** Alice starts exercising more and takes up a healthier diet to end her health problems. |
39 | ** Alice opts to lose weight and/or work on her leg muscles so she can be quicker. |
