Pint Sized Powerhouse / Webcomics

---

• This is Alice Pintur's power in Archipelago. Though she isn't normally short, she can shrink herself, getting proportionally stronger and tougher; which, among other things, has enabled her to punch through stone golems and survive tons of falling rocks.
• Bad Moon Rising has Madison, who stands just about five feet tall and picks fights in bars full of dangerous hunters of supernatural beings — none of whom have any reason to like her, given that she's technically supernatural herself — for fun. Even smaller is her brother Peter, who is introduced lobbing Molotov cocktails at vampires, but his status is debatable: Peter would probably be of average height if he had legs.
• Boyfriend of the Dead: Do not fight hand-to-hand with Alex if you are a zombie. Her kill count has reached the hundreds by now. Humans fare little better, even if armed with guns.
• Hyraxx D'Mofiti from Buck Godot: Zap Gun for Hire is an alien who, while not all that small, is about a head shorter than average humans and is of fairly slight build. Yet she is able to throw Buck, who is several times her size, around with ease an collapse a heavy wall on him. Buck assumes she's another assassin sent after him but actually she's just a tabloid reporter (although in the setting, being able to not get killed is more important than being able to make a good story if you want to be a successful journalist).
• In Charby the Vampirate most of the cabin inhabitants by virtue of being monsters that look like children, or puppies.
• Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures has Wildy San, who, like Belkar, is the team's resident Sociopathic Hero. Her brother, on the other hand, seems to rely more on strategy.
• Nike from Demon Eater. Sure, he's larger than the main character, but there are true gargantuans out there. And none can stand a chance against him.
• Digger has at least one example: Lady Surka, Warrior Shrew and professional troll. Digger herself is a slightly downplayed example, hobbit-sized but tough.
• Kiwi, the tiny fairy in The Dreamland Chronicles, has the magic to carry or slam around much bigger characters.
• Ixnay from Elf Blood: She's a pixie, literally around as tall as a pint glass. She's not strong enough to operate human/elf-sized door handles. She can easily take down a seven-foot tall, armoured hulking brute in a fight through guile and magic.
• Nanase of El Goonish Shive is only about 5'4", but is widely regarded as possibly THE most skilled fighter among the main cast. She can also bench press up to 160 pounds (almost certainly more than Nanase herself weighs), and that's without her magic passively enhancing her strength; WITH magic, she can bench over 200.
• Erika and the Princes in Distress : Pita may seem short and scrawny, especially compared to the other women of the Kingdom of Brutes... but when she enters into an access of Unstoppable Rage, she is able to easily lift and wield rocks several times her own size. Even Erika is impressed by her strength.
• Everyday Heroes: Philo is an insect-human hybrid, still in his larval stage, but with full human strength (and apparently some knowledge of judo).
• Gourmet Hound: Lucy is sometimes seen carrying boxes that just as tall as her much to the chagrin of Clementine and Graham. Not to mention, her first meeting with Graham involved her tearing down his door by herself.
• The Handbook of Heroes:
  • Pugilist is a female kobold; despite her small size and strength penalty, though, she certainly kicks ass, to Fighter's complete puzzlement.
  • Even more embarrassing for Fighter is that one time he gets beaten up by a baby kobold.
• I'm the Grim Reaper: Scarlet is only 5’3, but is a force to be reckoned with. Brook is even shorter and is an even more formidable opponent. Both are Grim Reapers.
• The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob! has Molly's pet alien "tentacle bunny," Snookums. Snookums began life as a Kaiju, but then got shrunk to the size of a basketball. However, he still has all his original mass and is strong enough to move around freely. Hence, the ground shakes when he hops, and he can defeat almost any opponent by hopping into him like a battering ram.
• Da'kor from Inverloch. They are the size of a human child, but in a fight an unarmed da'kor has a fair chance of defeating a human swordsman.
• Mario & Luigi: Cleanup Crew: Toad is not only able to carry Toadette while running at full speed, he's able to carry Princess Peach carrying Toadette.
• The Order of the Stick:
  • Belkar Bitterleaf, the Sexy Shoeless God of War, weighs 30 pounds.
  • Also Durkon Thundershield, though larger than Belkar he's powerful enough (as a strong caster) to require Deus Exit Machina frequently.
• Ramia from Ramia Yana Hero And Demon Lord Chronicles is shorter than most characters, but powerful enough to punch a giant monster to a bloody pulp.
• Schlock Mercenary:
  • The titular mercenary ends up eating a plasma grenade, which destroys most of his body mass. Being a carbosilicate amorph, Schlock's distributed body system meant that he survived, but as a much smaller version with child-like innocence and little memory of his past. But though he's only about the size of a human head, don't mistake him for being any less dangerous, as he manages to shoot down a cruiser when he gets loose inside it.
  • Para Ventura is not a soldier. She's just a roboticist with a powered fullerene suit of body armor and a green belt in Shotokan karate. The angry mob attacking her never stood a chance.
• Slightly Damned:
  • Jakkai are only 3 ft tall and are very poor at magic but are physically stronger and more agile than humans.
  • Water Demons are the smallest of the four demon breeds at 5 ft tall, but are deadly magic-users and capable of surprising physical power.
• Sluggy Freelance has Bun-bun, a vicious mini-lop rabbit who's among the more powerful fighters in the comic (which also features gods and whatnot) and can take on bigger opponents effortlessly. Turns out he's a god himself, specifically a god of strength suffering from amnesia.
• Referenced in Super Stupor, where The Dragon tells the Supervillain that he's quitting when there's a little girl in Super Hero costume at their doorstep, as The Dragon knows that "the younger and cuter they are, the worse they're going to kick your ass". The Big Bad still goes to fight after a henchmen tells him she can fly but is otherwise physically weak. Omitting her ability to channel the power of the entire sun at will.
• Song from Tales Of A Gay Asian she is less than 5'7 yet she can easily push 3 sophomore boys into a wall.
• Basically any Racconan in Tales of the Questor. They top out at around two and a half feet tall, but their "magic" powers, martial traditions, and sheer love of overkill make them a hazardous handful.
• Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic: Clover Firelight is a halfling, reaching up only to the waistline of most people around her. She's also a deadly assassin and quite at the right height to dish out Groin Attacks.
• In Yokoka's Quest, Yfa, despite his small size, is able to pick up heavy objects and Yokoka with ease. His high strength is also shown on his stats page.
