Kevlard	comment	In fiction, body fat doesn't need to be just an extra encumbrance: for certain people, it's body armor. A fat character will often be resistant or even completely impervious to damage because of their layers of blubber. The flesh will either act like a heap of dough to absorb the punches or like a rubber ball to bounce everything off (often with a comedic "BOING"), and in rare cases bullets or other projectiles will be negated. The character might even go out of their way to build up fat so they can fight more effectively. This is Truth in Television, but not to the extent that fiction portrays it. For humans it might add some cushioning against a punch or two,note it also protects against cut wounds and shields nerves and blood vessels in a fight but it does nothing against a bullet.note To have enough body mass to stop, or at least ablate, small arms fire, you'd need to be the size and build of a literal hippo. When applied to fictional characters, the protective properties of fat tissue can be exaggerated to superhuman levels. Kevlard often, but not always, overlaps with Acrofatic, Stout Strength and/or Mighty Glacier. More often than not, it's applied to villainous characters rather than heroic ones, usually because it's meant to be an intimidating display of size trumping skill. Often played for laughs, and almost always a set-up to having the characters discover the Achilles' Heel of the tub of lard in question. Usually, in its less serious incarnations, the ability to repel damage with fat is presented as an inhuman superpower. It's important to make the distinction between this and Mighty Glacier: Mighty Glacier characters are simply those who are strong and slow, and it more often applies to huge, muscled characters. Kevlard, however, refers specifically to when a character's body fat is the source of their durability. That said, a Kevlard has a high probability of ending up as a Mighty Glacier or a Stone Wall regardless, as it's often difficult to envision such a character as fast or fragile. Since the goal here is to make a fat character look strong, Weight Taller is often applied in conjunction with it, as a character who's both extremely bulky and able to tower over others in the cast can make for some rather imposing shots when handled properly. In Video Games, many Giant Mooks and Smash Mooks will use this trope to justify their toughness considering that they are usually wearing less armor than their counterparts. Characters with a Trampoline Tummy often also have Kevlard in order to protect their internal organs from damage as a Required Secondary Power.

Kevlard / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons, "Homerpalooza": Homer Simpson uses his body fat to stop cannonballs when performing in a freak show. His body still accumulates damage over doing this repeatedly, which would have inevitably killed him if he continued. In "King-Size Homer," Homer successfully stops a nuclear meltdown with his morbid obesity. And in "Homer the Smithers" when the two title characters get into a fistfight, Smithers' fist gets stuck in Homer's stomach, which prompts Homer to laugh and push Smithers' head. Until he gets angry and bites, at which point they both separate. Defied in "Homer Badman": Once Rock Bottom is forced to display a list of corrections to their many erroneous reports, one of them is "Bullets do not bounce off of fat guys".

When using a layer of fat equivalent to what the fattest man their researchers could come up with would have had protecting his vital organs as a baseline, the bullet went right through both the layer of fat and the simulate for the internal organs. The MythBusters thus conclude that fat could eventually stop a bullet, but not in anything human.

Kevlard / int_366a284d	comment	Mister Heart is one famous example from Fist of the North Star. He was, in fact, the first enemy shown that Ken couldn't simply kill in one blow; his body fat protected him from Ken's fatal Finger Poke of Doom. Ken had to resort a kicking attack made specifically to fight this kind of opponent and force the fat out of the way before striking forward with his killing blow. Shin, on the other hand, says that he would have had no problems with him as his Nanto piercing and slicing techniques would gone through his fat as easily as any other flesh — and proves it by casually cutting his cheek without even touching him. In the movie, Ken was travelling with Rei at the time. Rei, also a Nanto practitioner, offered to fight on Ken's behalf, but Ken refused simply because he wanted to prove his style wouldn't be shut down by blubber.

Kevlard / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Buyon, the Monster of the Week from Episode 40 of the original Dragon Ball series, was the first monster to deflect Goku's Kamehameha without taking even a scratch and could only be defeated by freezing him. Mikokatsun in Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest is an artificially-created combatant who's incredibly rotund, but his torso is apparently also completely boneless. Though a very agile fighter in his own right, his belly deflects nearly all attacks aimed at it. It takes Goku a tremendous amount of effort to finally tear through it. When Goten and Trunks flub the Fusion Dance in Dragon Ball Z and fuse into an extremely fat Gotenks, the team wonders if having this is a good thing considering how strong the similarly obese Majin Buu is, and that its a sign of power. While Buu may be powerful, Fat Gotenks was just fat and out of shape. To outside observers, Botamo in Dragon Ball Super appears to be this trope, with any Ki Attacks that reach his belly disappearing into it, with no known limit to how much he can take. The truth is that his belly has a means of transporting kinetic energy to another dimension, where it harmlessly dissipates. It requires Goku and other such fighters to think of unconventional ways to defeat him—and luckily for the heroes, Botamo fights only in fighting tournaments with Ring Out rules.

The Shugoki's defensive bonus manifests in the form of an Uninterruptable Stance: the first hit a Shugoki takes doesn't stagger him the way other characters are outside of certain special moves or combos, which allows them to punish overly aggressive opponents with a mighty strike from their spiked kanabo. However, subsequent hits while this "hyperarmor" is down deal increased damage, forcing the Shugoki to time their slow attacks with it. While his Uninterruptible Stance is up, the Shugoki also takes a 90% damage reduction, meaning that they can shrug off attacks that would kill literally any other character in the game, including direct hits from catapults.

More bizarrely, in Adventure Mode you can repeatedly set yourself on fire and put it out after a while to remove all the fat in your body. If you survive you become effectively fireproof because heat does not kill you through burning, it kills you by melting tissue (which except at very high temperatures is usually fat) to make you bleed to death.

Kevlard / int_7aefccf3	comment	Hotline Miami: The game's main example of this is the Thugs, a type of mobster who are notably fatter than normal ones. They're immune to melee weapons and take a while to die from gunfire. The sequel Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number adds the ability for melee-only characters to knock them down and spend several seconds brutally beating them to death. The Thugs succeed the game's first boss, the Producer, from a few levels earlier before their introduction; said boss behaves almost the same way as them, the difference being that he can only be damaged with a shotgun. Averted with the Dodgers, who first appear in Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. They essentially serve as an inversion of the Thugs, being immune to gunfire and only killable with melee strikes. However, said immunity merely comes from the fact that they dodge any incoming bullets (hence their name), since they're not fat and die from a single melee hit like any normal enemy.

Kevlard / int_8995846f	comment	Sylvia Scarlett from 2Dark is very fat, and is the boss with the highest amount of health in the game, who actually says "Hee hee hee! That tickles!" or "Try a little harder and I might just feel a little sting", in response to getting shot. To offset that, her level is the only one in the game where the player can get a machine gun (though this all-but-requires killing her security), so that they can still bring her down in head-on combat. (Though poisoning her food is the preferred alternative.)

Presumably, he can suffocate people in there, but he's too much of a Nice Guy to do it and uses his powers strictly to disarm or neutralize his enemies. In the Yakuza Raid, it's revealed that he also can absorb and store impact towards his fat body, allowing him to reverse it as a Counter-Attack which instantly burns all the fat on his body, leaving him mostly defenseless if this didn't finish a fight.

The truth is that his belly has a means of transporting kinetic energy to another dimension, where it harmlessly dissipates. It requires Goku and other such fighters to think of unconventional ways to defeat him—and luckily for the heroes, Botamo fights only in fighting tournaments with Ring Out rules.

He sustains the injury after reveling a bit too much in his subtle punishment to the Freys. There's also Strong Belwas, an ex-gladiator whose signature was to let each enemy cut his massive, scar-covered belly once before killing them. His fat also sort of served him as a protection when he ate a bowl of poisoned food intended for Daenerys. It would be lethal for a smaller person, but Belwas survived, though he became horribly ill and lost most of his weight. Fortunately, he is starting to recover.

It nearly slices the skinny one in two, but the fat one survives. TrÃ©bol gives off this appearance as well, with objects or attacks thrown at him having no effect, as they just get stuck on his body, but it's actually because of his Stick-Stick Fruit powers, which allows him to generate adhesives from his body. He's not actually fat at all, but is actually covered in a thick coat of sticky goop that he shaped into something resembling a fat body, which allows him to withstand devastating attacks—his goop takes the damage for him.

In general, heftier-looking PokÃ©mon tend to have higher base HP, notable examples including Snorlax, Slaking, Hariyama, Emboar, and Wailord. In a partial subversion, they don't always have the defenses to back that up (or at least specialize in only one type of defense, such as Snorlax, who's great at standing up to special attacks, but not so much to physical ones). Stoutland resembles an obese Scottish Terrier, and its best stats besides Attack are Defense and Special Defense.

(arcade) introduces Bear Hugger, a fat boxer who is immune to body blows; punching him in the stomach will just cause him to stick his tongue out at you, and you have to take him down with punches to the head. In the SNES version, Bear Hugger is vulnerable in the midsection when he taunts you; hitting him at the right time will stun him. Mad Clown in the SNES version is another fat boxer who plays similarly to Bear Hugger. They'll both shrug off body blows in most cases. In the Wii version, Bear Hugger actually takes some slight damage when punched in the belly, but it's still a better strategy to go for the face. Inverted with King Hippo in the NES and Wii games as his big belly is his weak spot. In the Wii game's Title Defense mode, he even tapes a manhole cover over it.

At a banquet, some folks decided to play a practical joke on him by slipping some Flesh to Stone potion in his wine, intending to turn him back after they had a good laugh. Hours later, L'Phall complained of stomach pain - it turned out that he ate so much at the banquet that it diluted the potion, and only turned his stomach to stone. He lived for many years after that, and his stone gullet was removed after his death as a curiousity. The Nameless One can eat it (it has the consistency of stale bread) to gain some resistance to (stomach) acid.

Kevlard / int_f7a71c3c	comment	Subverted in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine portrayal of the Blob (see the Comic Book example). While he does appear in his obese glory late in the movie, earlier scenes feature him as lean and muscled, while still an "Immovable Object" (he stops a tank from firing by blocking the barrel). Which, for all the film's liberties, actually makes sense, considering he's actually a mutant whose power is responsible.

Kevlard / int_f81101f2	comment	In the PokÃ©mon: The Original Series episode "Wake Up Snorlax!", Ash tries to catch a Snorlax that fell asleep and is blocking a river (actually, the riverbed was already dry because of an overgrown bramble thicket upstream from the Snorlax). The Snorlax's body fat causes the PokÃ©ball to bounce off without triggering. Though it's later revealed that this Snorlax actually already belonged to this episode's character of the day, so that might have also been a factor.

Kevlard / int_fd8ef85e	comment	Left 4 Dead provides a surprising subversion: while the heavily-muscled and aptly named Tank has the highest health, the next largest of the infected cast, the Boomer, has the lowest. Justified by its size being pressurized bile rather than fat.

Kevlard / int_fe8ef766	comment	Captain America: Another obese Marvel villain is the Slug. Like the Blob, his fat makes him hard to hurt through attacks to the stomach (though attacks to the head will do just fine). Unlike the Blob, he is unable to move without technical aid and his fighting skill is absolutely pathetic, so he's a Stone Wall at best. He can actually suffocate people using the folds of fat on his body.

Kevlard / int_ffe96c37	comment	Averted with the Dodgers, who first appear in Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. They essentially serve as an inversion of the Thugs, being immune to gunfire and only killable with melee strikes. However, said immunity merely comes from the fact that they dodge any incoming bullets (hence their name), since they're not fat and die from a single melee hit like any normal enemy.
