The Monster of the Week is apparently Immune to Bullets, but not only that, it's getting stronger too! Maybe you shot it with an Energy Weapon, maybe you intervened in a situation and caused a worse problem to appear, or maybe you just hit its Berserk Button, but it didn't die, and now it's stronger than ever. This is the process by which attempting to kill or destroy something ends up making it grow, become more powerful, or otherwise help it out. This occurs most often as a form of Energy Absorption, although Energy Absorption is one specific type of this. If punching a man makes him get stronger, or attempting to stamp out a religion gives it martyrs and helps it spread, that's a case of this. If shooting a laser at the enemy makes it grow stronger, then it's both. If you're using lightning to animate a dead body, that's just Energy Absorption. See Also: Adaptive Ability Berserk Button Turns Red (in which videogame enemies simultaneously become weaker and stronger from attacks) Elemental Absorption Energy Absorption Nice Job Fixing It, Villain Pain & Gain Snowballing Threat (which this esentially always causes) Compare Heal It With Fire, Infernal Retaliation. Contrast Kill It with Fire, Feed It a Bomb, Revive Kills Zombie and Gone Horribly Right. A form of Attack Backfire. |

Sebastian Shaw of the Hellfire Club in X-Men has powers that work like this. He absorbs the energy from attacks, so punching him makes him stronger. There is a limit to how much he can absorb and when it is surpassed, he can be harmed, but it takes a lot to reach his limit. | |

Endless Sky tries to discourage the "exponential freighter growth" strategy (ie using your income to buy more cargo ships, which increase your income, which means you can buy even more ships...), by triggering pirate raid fleets every time you lift off or jump to a new system if your fleet has a large ratio of cargo capacity to guns. However, a sizable fleet of armed freighters can generally disable all the pirates in short order — which means you can then go around plundering and seizing all the pirate ships and selling off all their stuff to boost your income even further. Especially with cargo holds large enough to steal their reactor cores and engines. | |

In Bleach, Gerard Valkyrie's special ability, The Miracle, is that he gets larger and stronger as he takes more damage. An attempted No-Holds-Barred Beatdown made him the size of a skyscraper. While he can still feel pain and take injuries, he also has a Healing Factor. | |

In Space Ghost Coast to Coast, the replicator pods on Ghost Planet are found to grow when hit with Space Ghost's destructo ray. This being Space Ghost, it takes him awhile to stop shooting his ray even after he realizes that it's making it grow. Eventually, he uses this to make the one next to Zorak gigantic. | |

In Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark, the Adaptive Affinity counter skill makes any elemental attack which hits a unit power up that unit’s attacks of the same element. Casting a fire spell on a fire-elemental Pektite, for instance, will make the Pektite’s own fire spells stronger (and also heal it). There’s also the Reaver class’s Bloodlust passive, which makes them hit harder as their health gets lower. | |

In Little Wizards, our heroes decide that the best way to destroy a puffpod plantation is to feed the entire supply of plant quick-growth potion to a single plant. This causes it to grow a single puffpod so large it explodes like a giant bomb, literally blowing the entire plantation out of the ground in the process. | |

Godzilla: The Series has a Monster of the Week aptly named the Fire Monster in the aptly titled episode "Ring of Fire" that gets stronger whenever Godzilla uses his atomic breath on it. H.E.A.T. has to resort to using nitroglycerin to knock it out since it doesn't create flames when detonated. | |

A Devil Amongst Worms: As a being empowered by the fear of being controlled, Makima is in many ways the exact worst opponent for the Simurgh, seeing as how the Simurgh has basically become synonymous with people being controlled or puppetered against their will and most of its plans involve controlling people and directing them, pretty much any action taken by the Simurgh only increases Makima's power. | |

In the Shin Megami Tensei games (and many other rpgs, even Pokemon has the Absorb <element> traits), some monsters Absorb certain elements, healing them instead of dealing damage. This means an enemy with fire absorb will literally feed on fire. In Devil Survivor a monster called Kudlak will arise stronger everytime it's killed, unless done so in a special way. It tries to goad the party into killing it. |

RWBY: Yang's Semblance increases her strength and power whenever she takes damage that increases each time she is struck. The more powerful the blow, the more powerful she becomes. Neo easily fights her by deflecting her blows, which prevents her from being able to power up. She can also be overpowered if an opposing force is too strong for her Semblance to handle. Adam's Semblance allows him to absorb any impact his sword takes and convert that energy into a powerful counter-strike. When his and Yang's very similar Semblances are compared, Yang complains that he can dish out damage without having to suffer through it first. She then fights him the way Neo fought her, deflecting his sword to only strike his body. Nora's Semblance lets her channel electrical energy to her muscles, vastly increasing her strength, power and speed. A prolonged shock from a cattle prod lets her smash her opponent through a boulder. Getting struck by lightning lets her One-Hit KO an entire opposing team. Her Semblance can be overpowered if the force is strong enough. |

Strong Guy of X-Factor has a similar power-set to Sebastian Shaw; he absorbs kinetic energy from external sources, and can then redirect it through his body, meaning the more you hit him, the stronger and tougher he gets. However, his version is a case of Blessed with Suck, as he also suffers a form of Power Incontinence; if he doesn't expend the energy quickly, it makes his body bloat with distended musculature, which is putting him in constant pain. | |

One of the villains of Captain Planet and the Planeteers is once tricked into using a lightning attack on Captain Planet himself. Apparently, striking someone created by the spirit of the Earth who is more or less a force of nature himself with lightning will empower him. A similar thing happens when a weakened Captain Planet is set on fire. He emerges from the flames fully healed. | |

Dungeon Keeper Ami ultimately just keeps getting stronger when her enemies attack her, albeit with plenty of difficult fights along the way. It's really no wonder that everyone keeps assuming she's really an evil genius (when the truth is, she's a sweet and kind genius who keeps getting backed into a corner). She's forced into a rigged battle against a Horned Reaper, where she's penalised for using magic? When she eventually wins by Ring Out, she's granted his knowledge of scythe summoning and techniques as a prize. Bonus points because the prize is intended as an insult — scythe techniques are wholly unsuitable for a small fast combatant like Ami — but she successfully uses it as the basis of her fearsome remote-controlled "reaperbot" army. Keeper Althel calls on his dark god and unleashes an ancient dragon to rampage through her dungeon, bent on smashing her and/or her Dungeon Heart? She sacrifices its life force to Metallia, gaining her a boon from Metallia and a dragon corpse with tremendous alchemical value. The dwarves try to cut her off from her Dungeon Hearts? The dark energy that can't reach her gets into their water supply and mutates them into partial youma who instinctively obey her — which gives her tens of thousands of loyal minions and control of the city. |

God Slaying Blade Works: Godou Kusanagi attempts to use his Stallion Authority (a horse made of flames from The Power of the Sun) against Apollo. Not only does it power Apollo up, he takes control of it. Both combatants then comment on what a stupid idea that was. After Apollo's divinity is negated by the Warrior Authority, the Stallion is able to hurt him. Shirou Emiya tries to use the Curses Without End Authority, which he gained from Angra Mainyu, on Ahriman. Since Ahriman is an alternate universe version of Angra Mainyu, it has no effect on him and he effortlessly gains control over it, making him more powerful. Ahriman also has a Battle Aura that corrupts and takes control of anything it touches, so when Shirou tries to attack him with weapons, he simply takes control of them before they can hit him and adds them to his arsenal. |

Chrysalis (RinoZ): Naturally, in a LitRPG setting, anything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Notably, while the dungeon waves are cause for most nations to batten down the hatches and try to survive the unending tide of spawning monsters, the Colony — which is capable of hatching thousands of new ants every day — treats waves as a source of plentiful biomass and experience, helping them to rapidly expand. | |

In Disgaea 2, Dragons, Aqua Demons, and Mystic Beasts are innately immune to fire, ice, and wind respectively, but if they're donning equipment with a Lover on it, they absorb a percentage of the damage they would've taken as HP instead. There's also the Holy Dragon, who can absorb non-elemental special attacks, which is much more useful (Or annoying) then the abilities possessed by the previously mentioned monsters, due to how prevalent such attacks are. Considering how ridiculously over the top some of the stronger attacks are, it can be quite comical to see these monsters get healed by things like disintegration, world ending explosions, or being sliced in half. |

Marvel Universe: Sebastian Shaw of the Hellfire Club in X-Men has powers that work like this. He absorbs the energy from attacks, so punching him makes him stronger. There is a limit to how much he can absorb and when it is surpassed, he can be harmed, but it takes a lot to reach his limit. Strong Guy of X-Factor has a similar power-set to Sebastian Shaw; he absorbs kinetic energy from external sources, and can then redirect it through his body, meaning the more you hit him, the stronger and tougher he gets. However, his version is a case of Blessed with Suck, as he also suffers a form of Power Incontinence; if he doesn't expend the energy quickly, it makes his body bloat with distended musculature, which is putting him in constant pain. Invoked in Immortal Hulk: Bruce Banner is trapped in a military base filled with ultraviolet emitters that prevent him from Hulking out. Joe Fixit takes over Banner's body and works out a solution: he can't turn off the emitters, but he can boost their power, which turns the ultraviolet rays into X-rays and from there, to... gamma rays. Cue the mother of all Hulk-outs. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Some monsters benefit from certain attack modes. Electricity and lightning cause shambling mounds to increase in size and Hit Points. Hitting an iron golem with magical fire restores lost Hit Points — apparently, it's because it softens them up, allowing them to reforge themselves. Many golems, particularly those with the "immunity to magic" trait, behave in a similar manner, like clay golems absorbing acid and flesh golems absorbing electricity (for the Frankenstein connection). Cutting off one of a Lernean hydra's heads causes two to grow in its place, increasing its Hit Points and number of attacks. Arcane oozes are healed by any magic that deals acid damage, while lightning damage will grant them a haste effect. In one of the more literal applications of this trope, trying to burn brown mold causes it to grow explosively. Fire trolls take no damage from fire-based attacks, but will instead regain ten hit points of health for every round during which such an attack covers at least half their bodies. When a giant strider is subjected to an attack or hazard that deals fire damage, it gains an amount of Hit Points equal to those that would otherwise have been removed. Striking a zeugalak with electricity-based attacks doesn't harm it, and instead limbers it up by granting temporary points to its Dexterity. As such, they cavort during mountain thunderstorms, giving bellows of excitement that can be heard for miles. |

Played straight many times in Stargate SG-1. An alien time-capsule absorbs staff blasts to help it grow. An Ori shield generator absorbs the orbital fire directed towards it and uses it to expand. Intervening in the internal politics of the Goa'uld System Lords has frequently backfired, causing a consolidation of power where before there were fragments and internal fighting. Heroic example in the season 10 finale, when the team absorbs enemy fire to power a time machine. |

The maze game Monster Hunter (PC) contains ten different types of monsters, each having only one weapon it's vulnerable against, and using a weapon which isn't their weakness will either stun them briefly, or outright empower them. For instance, against Man-Eating Plant enemies (the most common mooks in the whole game) you need to blast them with weedkillers; using a flashlight (meant for gremlins), dousing the plant with Holy Water (only compatible with ghosts) or solvents (weakness of Blob Monsters) will make the plant glow red and become faster. | |

In the manga version of Super, Vegeta gains a Super Mode called Ultra Ego. In it, any damage he takes during battle makes him stronger, but it is a double-edged sword because he gives in to his blood lust and becomes extremely reckless, plus his injuries do not heal on their own, so he'll likely end a fight incredibly injured and exhausted. | |

In Fate/Apocrypha, Berserker of Red aka Spartacus has a Noble Phantasm called Crying Warmonger: The Howl of the Wounded Beast. This causes him to become more powerful with each injury he takes. He has a powerful Healing Factor as well. Eventually, all that power causes his body to warp into a humongous blob with multiple heads and limbs. There's a limit to how powerful he can become this way, and when it is reached, he explodes. | |

In Dragon Ball Super, Goku Black seems to have an upgraded form of the Saiyans' ability to become stronger after near-death, in that any damage he sustains at all makes him stronger. This leads him to occasionally make comments that make him sound like a masochist; he revels in the sensation of pain whenever he feels it, since he knows it will only make him stronger. | |

The most common are the Flame (also known as "Fire"), Frost, and Storm varieties. Each type of Atronach is is immune to magic of their respective associated element, and in some cases, can even absorb it to increase their health/power. | |

Pokémon: The move "Bide" increases its attack power with every point of damage taken during the time your Pokémon "bides its time," and "Rage" starts out as a weak move, but each hit your Pokémon takes pumps its Attack stat as long as it keeps using the move. There are also some Pokémon abilitiesnote Water Absorb, Volt Absorb, Flash Fire, Motor Drive, Lightningrod, Storm Drain, Justified, Sap Sipper, and Dry Skin that heal a Pokemon's health or raise a stat when the Pokémon is hit by a certain type of attack, instead ofnote with the exception of Justified damaging them. |

The DCU: In Superman/Wonder Woman #2, Apollo hits Superman with a blast of concentrated sunlight. Superman asks him "You don't know much about me, do you?" before punching him straight back to Olympus. It comes back with a vengeance when Apollo intentionally powers up Zod and Faora. A similar thing happens when Superman is attacked by the Green Lantern villain Evil Star. His star blasts strengthen Superman, as the sun is a star. Hercules once beat up Aquaman and, unaware of his nature, tried to kill him by holding his head underwater. This healed his injuries and strengthened him enough to turn the tables. The Firestorm (DC Comics) villain Killer Frost fuels her An Ice Person powers by absorbing heat, so blasting her with heat or fire will make her more powerful. Ironically, she can be defeated by freezing her, as it takes away her energy. Dark Nights: Metal: The Dark Knights all have bodies made of dark matter, which absorbs solar energy. Because of this, they can endure Superman's attacks and become stronger by absorbing his energy. |

Magic: The Gathering: Some cards get more powerful in this manner, such as Fungusaur, which gets permanently slightly bigger every time it survives damage, and the Phytohydra from Ravnica which transforms damage directly into power. This can sometimes apply to players as well. Hallow and Purity can convert damage spells directly into health. Coincidentally, an awful lot of damage spells are fire-based. |

In Fairy Tail, all of the Dragon Slayers can eat their element (so long as they didn't directly make it and it wasn't created by God Slayer magic) to heal themselves and boost their attacking power. This results in a literal example of this trope's name: the main male lead, as a Fire Dragon Slayer, eats fire. He can eat other types of magic too, but it gives him indigestion — this is noted in-universe to be a very rare ability amongst the already rare practitioners of Dragon Slayer Magic. Of specific note is the Big Bad Acnologia, a Dragon Slayer who is now a dragon. His slaying magic has no specific attribute — rather, it's magic itself that he feeds off of. That's why he's so powerful in the present day, and why literally nothing the protagonists throw at him can affect him in any way. This ability is also shared by those who practice Devil Slayer Magic and God Slayer Magic, which gives all three styles a distinct advantage over more common Caster Magic styles. |

A Dearth of Choice: A semi-sapient wolf pack manages to break Timmy the Baby Bone Hydra apart, but they don't take the time to destroy the individual bones, so once they're defeated, he's soon back up and running — and he proceeds to add their bones to himself, giving him substantial stat boosts. | |

The Firestorm (DC Comics) villain Killer Frost fuels her An Ice Person powers by absorbing heat, so blasting her with heat or fire will make her more powerful. Ironically, she can be defeated by freezing her, as it takes away her energy. | |

The Ultraman Max kaiju, IF, is basically this trope embodied. It starts off as a harmless-looking egg, which the humans decide to destroy using missiles, only to result in the egg growing it's own organic missile defense system to retaliate and attack the humans back. Ultraman Max steps in and destroys IF's default organic form, only for the monster to take on a kaiju form the same size as Max and retaliate (complete with it's own version of the Maxium Cannon!), defeating Ultraman Max and going on an unstoppable rampage. Ultimately, that stops IF is a little blind girl playing her flute, which causes the monster to generate it's own organic musical form and slowly play away until it gets lifted into outer space, an organic musical kaiju. And the humans learns that very day, using weaponry, no matter how powerful, doesn't solve all problems. | |

In Kill la Kill, Gamagoori's Shackle Regalia uniform allows him to get stronger when struck. If his opponent decides not to attack, he'll simply whip himself to get the strength he needs, making it pointless to simply not attack Gamagoori. | |

In The Bridge and related spinoffs, the Guardian Beasts can all absorb fire to strengthen and heal themselves, and they can also absorb their respective element. For example, Yonggary is the Guardian Beast of Metal. In his guest appearances in Equestria: Across the Multiverse, trying to shoot him is useless as he just absorbs the metal bullets to become stronger. | |

Minor Urusei Yatsura character Shingo is not only immune to electricity due to growing up in the Mendou Electric Jungle, but actively feeds on it to fuel his strength. Zapping him with electricity, such as from Lum's Shock and Awe powers or from electrified fences, only makes him faster and stronger. Draining electrical charge from him, on the other hand, makes him weaker and more sluggish. He also has limited Energy Absorption powers, as he is able to drain electrical energy from Lum to fuel himself, even when she isn't actively emitting a charge. | |

Dragon Ball Z: Android 19 absorbs Ki blasts to increase its power through its hands. Vegeta killed it after popping its arms off. Cooler, from one Non-Serial Movie, tried to kill Goku and Vegeta by absorbing their ki, but they destroyed him instead by overloading his circuits. In the series proper, Goku also kills a minor minion in the Buu saga this way. Also, each time a part-Saiyan heals from a near-mortal wound, they come back significantly stronger. Vegeta dangerously, deliberately uses this to his advantage, in addition to the incidental uses by most of the other part- or full-Saiyans. Turns out that teaming up a guy who gets dramatically stronger after recovering from injury with a guy whose power is to heal other people's injuries works pretty well. In Dragon Ball Super, Goku Black seems to have an upgraded form of the Saiyans' ability to become stronger after near-death, in that any damage he sustains at all makes him stronger. This leads him to occasionally make comments that make him sound like a masochist; he revels in the sensation of pain whenever he feels it, since he knows it will only make him stronger. Any damage Bergamo takes causes him to become bigger and stronger. However, there is a limit to how much he can take. When it is exceeded, he reverts to his original size. In the manga version of Super, Vegeta gains a Super Mode called Ultra Ego. In it, any damage he takes during battle makes him stronger, but it is a double-edged sword because he gives in to his blood lust and becomes extremely reckless, plus his injuries do not heal on their own, so he'll likely end a fight incredibly injured and exhausted. In Dragon Ball GT, Goku tries to take down Super 17 with a variety of ki based attacks, only to discover that he can increase his strength level by absorbing them. |
