Basic Trope: A character looks more muscular underneath the clothes.

  • Straight: Bob looks fairly average with his clothes on, but during the Final Battle, they get damaged and reveal Bob's impressive physique.
  • Exaggerated: Bob is as thin as a beanstalk with the clothes on, but the second they come off, he is a 7'' tall musclebound Hunk.
  • Downplayed: Alice takes off Bob's clothes, while he looks about what she expected, she was suprised to see some muscle if at all, as Bob loathes the gym.
  • Justified: Bob's clothes are quite loose, so he looks average with clothes on.
  • Inverted: Bob looks quite muscular, but when the clothes are taken off, he's as thin as a beanstalk.
  • Gender Inverted: Alice has a more impressive buxom than what her appearance might suggest.
  • Subverted: It was a Temporary Bulk Change, as once the potion wears off, Bob is fairly average.
  • Double Subverted: Only for him to actually gain those abs after he decides to become a member of the local gym.
  • Parodied: Many mooks warn Emperor Evulz to not damage Bob's shirt, he ignores them. As such, during the final battle Evulz was about to win, as with his clothes on Bob isn't that strong, however Evulz's sword rips off Bob's shirt, leading to Bob one-shoting him after he gts up.
  • Zig Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Bob looks exactly as what you would expect under those clothes.
  • Enforced: ???
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Implied': Diane mentions Bob kicking her upper jaw, really, really, hard when she got too "affectionate" to him, Charlie distinctly remembers Bob looking like a plain Joe.
  • Invoked: "Bob, I got you something you always wanted, a really thick sweater!"
  • Exploited: The FBI starts employing Bob onto missions, as his physique will cause their enemies to underestimate him.
  • Defied: Bob gets a Form-Fitting Wardrobe
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
