Line #7 PlayingWith/StoutStrength


1	Basic Trope: A character is strong despite appearing out of shape.
2	* '''Straight''': Alice is fat, but she's able to throw and destroy cars with ease.
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''':
8	** Alice does a lot of intense exercises and consumes massive meals afterwards.
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.
12	** Alice still has more mass even though some of it is fat and she knows how to throw it around.
13	** Alice actually has a lower bodyfat percentage than most people, but look chubby due to her sheer mass.
14	** Alice's bulk gives her more physical resilience than someone who's tall and skinny.
15	* '''Inverted''':
16	** Despite being [[MusclesAreMeaningless rail thin, Alice hits like a truck]].
17	** Alice has [[AmazonianBeauty massive muscles]], but despite this, [[MusclesAreMeaningless she's rather weak]].
18	* '''Subverted''': People talk about Alice's strength, but she does nothing to show it off.
19	* '''Double Subverted''': Until a vending machine nearly falls on Charles and she catches it with one arm.
20	* '''Parodied''': Alice's usual method of attack is to roll over her enemies
21	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
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]].
29	** Alice wants to be a wrestler and packs on a lot of weight so she'd be harder for her opponents to throw.
30	* '''Exploited''': ???
31	* '''Defied''': Alice does her best to avoid becoming overweight.
32	* '''Discussed''': "If Alice is so strong, why does she look like a human pig?"
33	* '''Conversed''': ???
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.
