A character is stout, overweight, or even obese, but quite strong. This trope is common for a Boisterous Bruiser who enjoys good food and drink as much as he likes cracking heads. The Big Guy might also be packing on a few extra pounds. Muscles aren't the only thing that makes you big, after all! It's also common in older characters who are nowhere near as trim and athletic as they were in their youth but are still as strong as they ever were. Strength, in reality, does last much longer than your cardiovascular endurance. Sometimes the trope will be played for comedy, with a common fat character suddenly displaying surprising strength. Other times the character will be an unmistakable mountain of muscle and fat. This trope was especially common in older television and film before bodybuilding became as popular as it is today. Large, bulky actors were much more easy to find than large, chiseled actors. This is, in fact, Truth in Television (to a point), which is why Olympic shot putters, powerlifters, and competitors of World's Strongest Man don't resemble Arnold Schwarzenegger. A layer of cushioning fat is naturally an asset in a fight as long as you can move it, and also large quantities of calories are often necessary to maintain muscles and energy. See the Analysis subpage for details. Note that this trope doesn't necessarily mean that a character is obviously fat or out-of-shape despite their strength, as some characters that fit this trope (such as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises) can still be primarily muscular and fit despite having some bulk, fat or otherwise. See Kevlard, for vitality and stamina instead of strength. Contrast Muscles Are Meaningless, where the muscles are visible on a character with only average strength. Often overlaps with Mighty Glacier. The most likely explanation for the Acrofatic. (Trivia: The "strong" meaning of "Stout" was the original — a "stout warrior", a "stout defence". The "plump" meaning came from the fact that many stout warriors are also stout men.) |

Ganondorf in Twilight Princess, Wind Waker and Hyrule Warriors has put on some weight since Ocarina of Time due to his age, and not all of it is muscle. In particular, Hyrule Warriors and Super Smash Bros. make him shorter and stouter, presumably to balance his size with the other characters. He's still extremely buff, strong, imposing and not laughably fat in the least, with Hyrule Warriors even depicting him as a wild Lightning Bruiser. His classic depictions as anthropomorphic pig Ganon take this even further, where he's obviously very fat and just as strong. | |

A Link Between Worlds gives us Rosso, a miner and one of the era's Seven Sages. He's a miner for a living, so while he's very large and carries extra heft, he can pick up and break rocks without any sort of effort (something that the Bishōnen Link needs special equipment to do). It's implied that he might be a descendant of Darunia, the Goron Sage of Fire from Ocarina of Time, given both his association with the color red and Goron-like features including all-black eyes and a notably rounded stomach. | |

Atlantis got rather stocky late into his career, compared to some of his long-running rivals like Ultimo Guerrero, who still retained some of their shape. But while there was much criticism of CMLL for keeping the aging Atlantis in the main event he could still deliver tiltawhirl backbreakers to members of opposing trios in rapid succession. | |

In Samurai Jack the Scotsman's wife obviously qualifies. Despite being overweight, she was able to knock out the Master of the Hunt and slaughter an entire army of robots by herself that Jack and the Scotsman couldn't defeat together, unarmed. As for how that same army managed to kidnap her in the first place, it appears she possesses little to no combat ability or at least no desire to ever use it... until someone calls her fat, at which point she enters Unstoppable Rage mode. Even Jack would rather turn tail and run than fight her in this state. | |

Earthquake from the Samurai Shodown games is a McNinja who mixes this with Acrofatic. There's also Wan-Fu who depending on the game ranges from ripped but wide to having a noticeable potbelly who nevertheless is still strong enough to lug a massive pillar around with just one arm. |

King K. Rool, the immensely fat Kremling king from the Donkey Kong Country series. When you're one of the strongest beings in a land where Donkey Kong is considered average, that's saying something.

Subverted in Avengers: The Initiative, where to all initial appearances the rotund Butterball seems like a wall-busting powerhouse. In reality, he's invulnerable to harm... and that's it. He can't lose weight or build muscle, meaning he'll never develop any useful offensive capabilities. Due to the fact that, accordingly, the Initiative can't use him as he is and he doesn't respond to training, they're forced to let him go. | |

The Simpsons: The fat Homer Simpson is very much Strong as They Need to Be. In one episode his punches don't discomfort a fly, while in another episode he picks up a boulder. Another episode has him start to lift weights, gaining a more muscled physique, but when he defiantly tells his kids to try to find any fat on his body, they quickly find a whole lot. Barney is even fatter than Homer but strong enough to carry a grown man or full beer keg under each arm. |

Futoshi Shimano from Like a Dragon is basically the Kingpin (see the Comic Books folder above) as a Yakuza boss, whose seemingly fat with the suit on but reveals some impressive muscle when he takes it off for a beatdown with his fists or katana. Hiroki Awano from Yakuza 0 is noticeably pudgy, but his arms are bulging with muscle. It is mentioned that he used to be a serious fighter before he let himself go, but it quickly becomes apparent that he hasn't lost much. Sakakiba from Judgment is quite a Fat Idiot but he's almost as dangerous as Honda and Koga. Shigeru Nakahara from Yakuza 3 is a short, pudgy, grey-haired grandpa, who is also strong enough to wrestle a bull into submission and call an ambulance for himself after being shot three times at close range. A villainous example would be Tsuyoshi Kanda, the current boss of the Nishikiyama Family, who's a screaming wall of flab but also physically strong enough to rip off a massive stone plaque from a wall and swing it around as a weapon. |

He's baby-faced and built like a fireplug, well ahead of the rest of the cast in terms of raw strength, and is stated to look chubby in baggy clothing.

Dark Souls: Executioner Smough wears armor that makes him look morbidly obese. In fact, the art book shows that underneath the armor he's a lot more muscled than he appears, though he's still wide and stocky. Of course, he would have to be extremely strong to walk around in full plate armor and swing his Humongous-Headed Hammer around. | |

In Justice League Unlimited, Steven Mandragora, one Villain of the Week, was effectively a Tobius Whale Expy and then some: Black Canary's Canary Cry — which could kill someone if she uses it too close to them, even at a distance can flip a truck end over end, and once destroyed an entire arena — does no damage besides ripping off his shirt. (Thanks for that.) Then again, his son eventually became a high-powered psychic, so. Foreshadowed in the beginning when Canary punches him for one crass remark too many. She winces in pain afterwards, since it was like hitting a brick wall and she doubts there is even an ounce of fat on him. |

Brick in the first one, and Salvador in the second. Brick's weapon outside of the uncountable guns the game provides is a huge sledgehammer, and he is built like a bouncer. Salvador is similar in build, but the shortest of the playable characters in Borderlands 2. He is also the only character in said game able to dual-wield any combination of guns, from pistols to sniper rifles to missile launchers! | |

Jean Tannen from the Gentleman Bastard Sequence was fat as a child, but spent most of his teens in intensive martial arts training. He never lost the fat, but put on a lot of muscle underneath it. The narrative tracks when Jean has gained or lost weight based on his activity level. He serves as the Bastards' chief enforcer and is perfectly capable of dismantling minor street gangs on his own. | |

Numerous characters from Dragon Ball. Notable examples include Majin Buu, Champa, and Toppo. note This only applies to the "Fat Buu" and "Mr. Buu" forms of Majin Buu, though. The other forms are either slim, scrawny, or buff, but all quite strong.. Yaijrobe deserves a mention, despite being known as a cowardly fat comedic relief, his introductory arc put him on par with Goku, made him achieve feats that Goku couldn't achieve in a day faster than him, and made him to be a powerful lonesome warrior. The next arc had him taken out someone who was essentially God in that narrative, and after that ... Dragonball Z happpened. |

Rubeus Hagrid from the Harry Potter series is described in his introduction as being "twice as tall as a normal man, and five times as wide". His enormous size is attributed to his being half-giant. His displays of strength are few and far between in the series, but he is seen alternately knocking a door completely off the hinges by simply knocking, picking up a grown man with one hand and pinning him to a tree, single-handedly hauling 50-foot Christmas trees across the grounds every year, and knocking pursuers unconscious with a single blow. He even offhandedly (and quite dismissively) mentions altercations with "Mad trolls on the Polish border" and "a vampire in a pub in Minsk" that are never described in detail but are nonetheless... intriguing... Dudley is a less extreme example, being a Muggle and a pre-teen when the series starts out but is still capable of some pretty impressive physical feats for a Fat Slob. In the fifth book, when he takes up boxing, he very quickly becomes quite formidable, and a growth spurt helps him shed the weight. As an adult, Dudley is described as being large and muscular. |

In Saints Row, you can turn the Boss into one of these — the option to be a huge Fat Bastard is there and the Boss is powerful enough to pick up and throw the average human being or snap necks with minimal effort. More canonically, Genius Bruiser Oleg Kirrlov is first seen in the third game held captive and naked, and it's very clear that he's an individual of considerable girth. However, it's also patently clear that he is a main battle tank of a man and could probably crush a human head in his hand like a pea. The Brutes from the same game are actually imperfect clones of him, lacking his speed, intelligence, and ability to demonstrably kill the Boss dead with a single punch if angered. | |

Farkus "Bulk" Bulkmeier from Power Rangers. On the other side of the Pacific, while its source material, Super Sentai, has only had a handful of Rangers who were fat, their defining trait was that they were the physically strongest of their team. Incidentally, four of them were male Yellow Rangers: both Daita and his temporary replacement Daigoro, Kijima, and Raita. The last, Ramirez, was a rare Cyan Ranger. Out-of-universe, veteran suit actor, Jiro Okamoto, is renowned for his belly despite being no less physically capable than his fellow stuntmen. It's most obvious when he wears the Shinken Gold suit, which is noticeably wider at the waist compared to the face actor. | |

In an episode of King of the Hill, Bill needs to exercise to get in shape for his army physical. However, he befriends a group of bodybuilders who get him fixated on building muscle without doing anything else, meaning Bill ends up with beefy arms and legs but the same beer belly he always has. Back in high school Bill was a powerful, heavyset football player nicknamed "the Billdozer," who could push back multiple opponents at once. He occasionally shows he still has his strength in his middle age, like when he can force a large pile of furniture to keep from sliding out of a semi-truck. Hank Hill himself counts. He has a thickset build and a noticeable beer belly but has also outrun charging bulls and kicked through a chain link fence to chase down a man who almost got his son hurt. In one episode, him not being able to lift multiple propane tanks at once is a sign he's having serious back problems (which he solves with yoga, regaining his strength). |

Discworld series: Sergeant Jackrum from Monstrous Regiment. To call Jackrum fat would be to miss out on an opportunity to use the word "gross". To call Jackrum dangerous would be to miss out on an opportunity to use the word "badass". To a lesser extent, Agnes Nitt in the Lancre Witches subseries. It takes her split personality to notice that she's much stronger than she believes herself to be because the fat hides a lot of functional muscle mass. Also notable is that her heavy build is considered desirable in Lancre, where a woman is expected to be able to carry a pig under each arm and a young man is given to consider the evidence of how well a family enjoys its food. (As some older married men in Lancre are known to say, over the years kissing loses its fire, but cookery tends to just get better.) It is her emotional isolation and personality that keeps her single, not her looks. Mustrum Ridcully is a pretty large individual, tall and carrying the sort of weight large University dinners produce as a matter of course (if nowhere near the size of the Dean). He is also a vocal advocate for fresh air and exercise, a keen outdoorsman, angler, hunter, boxer, and quarterstaff fighter, and is in pretty terrific shape all told. The Upwright brothers, Harry and Jim, who run the Ankh-Morpork's mail carriages are this, with their apparent obesity looking even more so due to their heavy clothing. Willie Hobson, the owner of a large stable complex, described in Going Postal as "what you would probably get if you shaved a bear". Reacher Gilt is described as wearing clothes fit for two men and being capable (though he deliberately refrains from it) of a bone-crushing handshake. Lady Sybil as well. When she draws herself up or inhales such that her bosom moves, metaphors involving continent drift are used. She's also capable of whacking a werewolf with an iron bar so hard that she bends the bar. |

Boba Fett's bulkier in The Mandalorian than he was in the original Star Wars movies, and sports a noticable gut on his otherwise muscular frame.

Po, the panda protagonist of Kung Fu Panda, is frequently underestimated due to being overweight, but is actually much stronger (and, after some intensive training, much more agile) than his chubby appearance would suggest. In fact, his excess fat turns out to be a major advantage in his fight against Tai Lung, since it protects him from the latter's nerve strikes. | |

Guilty Gear -STRIVE- introduces us to Goldlewis Dickinson, the Secretary of Defense and right-hand man of the U.S. President. Despite being so massive and hefty, he's still strong enough to swing his coffin around like a flail and at one point in the story mode, he manages to catch a rocket bare-handed moments before it hit some soldiers and toss it away. | |

In his current incarnation, he has a much more classical strongman build◊ and is notably hirsute and with a belly instead of a six-pack.

Warcraft The Ogres in the first game were slabs of lean muscle, but in Warcraft II, they gained a second head and a big ol' belly, which carried on into Warcraft III and World of Warcraft. A patch shortly before The Burning Crusade suddenly made them much leaner again — though they're still pretty rotund — and gave them significant muscle definition. Also, the Pandaren. Their culture considers being fat a good thing, but this doesn't stop them from being extremely capable fighters. The Kul Tirans are noticeably fatter than most playable races (beaten only by the above Pandaren,) but one of their racial abilities allows them to deck an enemy so hard it knocks them back. |

Asgore in Undertale is a giant of a goat-person, and while his sprite doesn't give that much detail on his physique, he's strong enough to wield a trident that's as tall as he is, and is tied for having the highest stats of any monster in the Underground (80 atk and def, same as Toriel). His build is not obvious in your first encounter with him, given that he wears a bulky cape and heavy plate armor, but when he wears casual clothing◊ in the True Pacifist ending of Undertale and in Deltarune, it's clear that he has both a prominent belly and sizable muscles. | |

Schlock from Schlock Mercenary looks like he's made out of mush, but is pretty fast ("you're faster than you look" is almost a tagline) and incredibly strong (that shield looks to be at least 6' * 3' and at least 4" thick, and it's solid hull-plate). The only other members of Tagon's Toughs who can match Schlock for raw strength also fit this trope: Chisulo, an uplifted elephant. And Elizabeth, a member of a race that can best be described as a shaved gorilla built to four times normal scale. |

Sesus "The Slug" Nagezzer from Exalted.

However, just because he can't run anymore doesn't mean he hasn't kept up the other parts of his old training, and mistaking him for a fat lazy slob is a good way to get killed. | |

In Plus-Sized Elf, three of the monster girls, despite being overweight, are still considered quite strong. The best example is a cyclops girl known as Hitome, who is not only the tallest monster girl, but despite looking stocky appearance, all her fat is firm padding for her well-muscled physique. In fact, unlike most of the monster girls, she seems to have always had a bulky figure, barring the paunch and plumpish thighs she developed from her stay on earth. Oga is another example as, despite the beer belly a majority of abs melted into from bar hopping, she is still quite beefy with muscle power. And is the only one who can match Hitome’s bulk and raw strength in a battle. Oeda also lost a portion of her strong abdominal muscles as she indulged in soft serves and grew a plump potbelly like her niece. But despite being somewhat out of shape like her niece, Oeda is still considered a very robust and athletic woman who is more than capable of utilizing her centuries of combat experience. |

Willow Park in The Owl House has a stockier build compared to her peers and is shown to be capable of heavy workouts. She also shows more physical prowess in fights without the use of magic, being able to manually whip with her vines and even holding down Hunter possessed by Belos with her bare hands. To be clear, she manages to pin down one of his arms with only one of her own, despite it being several times larger than her entire body and Belos struggling the entire time. Hexside student Viney has a similarly stockier build than most characters and is strong enough to manhandle her pet griffin Puddles, who is several times larger than her. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Thor: Volstagg of the Warriors Three is a classic version of this trope, being the most heavyset of Thor's companions, as well as a Boisterous Bruiser who shares Thor's love of drink and battle. The Avengers (2012): Hulk has a spare tire around his gut, in contrast to previous versions. Black Panther (2018): M'Baku and his fellow Jabari warriors are formidable Badass Normals and have notably stockier builds than most of the other Wakandans. This fits the tribe's Animal Motifs, as gorillas aren't known for washboard abs. Thor himself becomes this after the time skip in Avengers: Endgame, having spent five years depressedly gorging himself on booze and food. It makes him no less dangerous or capable on the battlefield, however. |

The criminal Roadhog in Overwatch is very fat but has very developed arms. His main skill has him throw a chained hook at an enemy and pull them into close range with a single tug on the chain, one-handed. This is equally effective on every character in the game, whether they are a man-sized robot, an adult gorilla wearing armor and a jetpack, a Mini-Mecha, a giant of a man clad head-to-toe in Powered Armor and carrying an enormous hammer, or another Roadhog. Similarly, Torbjorn is a lot rounder than his squadmates from the original Overwatch strike team, but he's far more muscular than all of them save for Reinhardt and capable of kicking ass even as an old man. His first comic story even has him infiltrating and disabling a gigantic mech before effortlessly defeating its pilot. |

As for humans, there's two notable Gym Leader examples, Chuck and Crasher Wake. Chuck is an older man, and it's implied that he use to be in fantastic shape. While he still trains, he clearly settled down after marriage, and his Big Eater appetite, once needed to keep his strength up, is now a determent to his slower metabolism. Wake, meanwhile, is a masked wrestler, which are typically a bit doughier around the middle. Hikers also fit this trope, being overweight in all generations but having the stamina to explore mountains and canyons. One in Hoenn even tells you post-battle how to get in shape by carrying a full, heavy backpack and really stomping through rugged terrain. | |

Baymax from Big Hero 6 is rather round and pudgy for a robot, but he's still capable of lifting up to 1000 pounds and can deal even more damage while wearing the armor Hiro makes for him. | |

Jackie Chan Adventures: Tohru is huge and heavily built, like a sumo wrestler, but he has strength like....well, a sumo wrestler. (He claimed that he was "too small for sumo", although his stated weight of 480 pounds is actually typical for the sport.) He's been seen taking on demons, ninjas, and all manner of monsters, both when serving the Big Bad of the series, the dragon-demon Shendu and being Uncle's apprentice after seeing the error of his ways. He is also more intelligent than one would think based on his size and strength. El Toro Fuerte is another example. He has a noticeable gut, but his arms and pecs are quite impressive. Although he's smaller than Tohru, they are roughly equal in terms of strength. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: It is very easy to see General Iroh as a largely harmless old butterball (especially in the first two seasons). When it suits him it is also very painful. Even more so in Season 3, when he trades his keg for a six-pack. Also the Hippo, one of the competitive earthbenders in "The Blind Bandit." |

Hugo Strange from Batman: Arkham City apparently trains his body to the limits every day in an attempt to be as physically fit as his hero/obsession Batman, to the extent that he could punch a dent in steel and not feel it. He dies before we find out if this was empty boasting or not. | |

Borderlands: Brick in the first one, and Salvador in the second. Brick's weapon outside of the uncountable guns the game provides is a huge sledgehammer, and he is built like a bouncer. Salvador is similar in build, but the shortest of the playable characters in Borderlands 2. He is also the only character in said game able to dual-wield any combination of guns, from pistols to sniper rifles to missile launchers! Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!'s Wilhelm might also count, as despite being quite portly in build he can carry just as many guns and kick just as much ass as all the other playable characters. |

The Legend of Zelda The Gorons are a race of these. Strong as boulders, most have big bellies to go with their strength. In Twilight Princess, they practice sumo wrestling (a common sight of Stout Strength), and the only way for Link to beat them is to strap on Iron Boots so that he can more easily stay in place. Ganondorf in Twilight Princess, Wind Waker and Hyrule Warriors has put on some weight since Ocarina of Time due to his age, and not all of it is muscle. In particular, Hyrule Warriors and Super Smash Bros. make him shorter and stouter, presumably to balance his size with the other characters. He's still extremely buff, strong, imposing and not laughably fat in the least, with Hyrule Warriors even depicting him as a wild Lightning Bruiser. His classic depictions as anthropomorphic pig Ganon take this even further, where he's obviously very fat and just as strong. King Dorephan of the Zora in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He may be round, but it's the roundness one gets from being built like a barrel full of muscles. He's incredibly strong, even having destroyed a Guardian by picking it up and hurling it off the edge of a cliff. A Link Between Worlds gives us Rosso, a miner and one of the era's Seven Sages. He's a miner for a living, so while he's very large and carries extra heft, he can pick up and break rocks without any sort of effort (something that the Bishōnen Link needs special equipment to do). It's implied that he might be a descendant of Darunia, the Goron Sage of Fire from Ocarina of Time, given both his association with the color red and Goron-like features including all-black eyes and a notably rounded stomach. Queen Oren of the Zora is a Zig-Zagged example. For most of the game, she's a slim fish-like woman, but when Link first meets her, someone has stolen her Smooth Stone, a voluntary Restraining Bolt; without it, she bloats to a massive size and is said to be overflowing with power. It's not entirely clear which form is Oren's natural one. |

The Wraith Squadron novels had Voort saBinring, a Gamorrean with altered brain chemistry that let him be a Genius Bruiser. He had somewhat less fat than most Gamorreans, but he still had a thick layer of it and was very strong. As in, after using a desk to flatten an assassin against a wall, the impact dented the wall and knocked a person lying in the bunk on the other side of the wall onto the floor. The wall was evidently thick enough to hide all sounds of the fight, including a blaster shot, from the people in the bunk room. | |

The Grunts of Halo. They may not look like it, as they're shorter and stubbier than your average human, but those who've read Halo: First Strike remember how ODST Cpl. Locklear struggled to lift a Fuel Rod Cannon before the Spartans decided it was too heavy for him and took it from him. Now notice that Grunts heft these things around no problem. In fact, Grunts are shown to be quite capable of tearing humans apart with their bare hands. | |

Banjo-Kazooie: Despite being routinely considered fat by other characters, which is reflected in how he's not a fast runner, Banjo himself is undeniably strong, being able to carry Kazooie in his backpack with ease, along with any other heavy things he scoops up with the Taxi Pack, and despite their short range, his fists pack quite a wallop. This is further emphasized by how, despite being rather hefty, he has a V-shaped back to represent his muscular abilities. | |

Steven Universe: This appears to be a common trait amongst Quartz Gems: Rose Quartz is by far the biggest member of the Crystal Gems, both in height and girth. Amethyst and Steven are much smaller (due to Amethyst being "overcooked" and Steven being half-human), but are also plump and strong (although Steven may just be strong by human standards). Jasper has muscle upon muscle, and is tough enough to take on a highly synchronized two-Gem fusion alone, and mainly loses because of her opponent using her environment against her. On the human side, Sadie is short, stout, and can break a screen door in half with one kick. In bunny slippers. |

Most incarnations of Musashi from Getter Robo. Pretty much all who fill the coveted "fat guy" position (pilot of Getter-3/Poseidon), are of this trope. Benkei's a gentle beast, and Gai's pretty tough from what we can get. The Musashi/Benkei amalgamation in New Getter Robo is very powerful. The only exception may be Professor Saotome if you're going from the earliest manga. |

In General Protection Fault, the badly-overweight programmer Dexter demonstrates superhuman strength on a couple of occasions - most notably during the Battle of Liberty, when he took on C.R.U.D.E's Giant Mook, Mr. Inertia, singlehandedly. Despite Inertia being a literal giant, at least 12 feet tall and nearly as wide across the shoulders, Dex somehow managed to knock him out. In a more recent arc, while trying to lose some of his mass to avoid health complications, he's seen knocking punching bags straight off their ropes, and into the wall hard enough to leave cracks. Mr. Inertia himself also qualified as a particularly extreme example - he's not just tall, he's MASSIVE. Later hints, however, seem to point to there being more to him than meets the eye... |

Super Mario Bros.: Wario is the strongest of all the mustached plumbers. He is also the fattest. Bowser isn't so much fat as he is naturally large, which comes from being the King of Koopas. He was originally an ox, in fact. While not plump in the literal sense of the word, his minions reference his natural mass by calling him "Your Chunkiness", "Your Chubbiness", etc. Mario himself, though nowhere near as fat as Wario (in fact, Mario may not be fat per se and could just be round design-wise, but it's worth noting he's stouter than his brother Luigi), and he can lift and throw Bowser by the tail; not to mention his jumps, flips, and somersaults that would impress an Olympic gymnast. He's not slow, either. Sledge Brothers are overweight versions of the Hammer Brothers that can jump way higher than Mario and shake the ground upon landing. Also, Sumo Brothers, who carry enough horsepower in their feet to stomp with and shake a flame-spreading lightning bolt down from whatever row of blocks they occupy. Tubba Blubba is another example. His name says it all: he's a fat, but powerful Clubba. |

Believe it or not, The Incredible Hulk used to be this. Never fat, but early on he was lacking in definition, which has become almost a trademark of the character. This may be the result of time marching on; when the Hulk was first made the popular idea of strong men still had a bit of fat on them and didn't care about being as cut. While the Hulk may be extremely ripped, he's still occasionally drawn to fit the trope. Dale Keown◊ is a good example of an artist who draws a Hulk with lots of definition and a thick rectangular mid-section. |

Let's hear it for Lauren Zizes of Glee fame; she's a big girl and a Big Eater, but she's also the Ohio state champion in Greco-Roman wrestling and she wrestles on the boys' team. She's shown practicing in one episode by tossing aside an endless stream of challengers onto the mat, she's an unshakeable stone wall in the episode in which she takes to the football field, and she wipes the floor with tough-talking Santana Lopez in a fight over Puck, without even breaking a sweat. | |

Harold Sakata (famous as hat-throwing henchman Oddjob in Goldfinger) only measured at 5 foot, 10 inches, and came in at a billed 230 pounds. A lot of that was muscle, hence his Olympic silver medal in weightlifting at the 1948 games. | |

Cibus Esculentus Madoka Magica is an alternate take on Puella Magi Madoka Magica, in which all Magical Girls have both muscle and fat alike expand upon making their contracts. The real purpose of their fat, though, is to make them more wholesome for Esurientes, the flesh-eating monsters they fight in place of Witches. | |

Goof Troop has a father/son pair of these. PJ has fought off bullies and is required to do a lot of difficult manual labor by his hardass father which he is shown to be quite capable of doing even in rapid succession. Meanwhile, Pete can carry his overweight 11-year-old son wherever he wants with ease. | |

Birdie's Street Fighter V incarnation gives him a rather large gut without sacrificing his developed musculature. While this does give him shades of the Fat Comic Relief to go with it (for example, his V-Skill has him drop banana peels or cans of soda to trip his opponents up), he's still very strong indeed. Several of his attacks involve snatching up the opponent with a chain and smashing them into the ground, which is equally effective on every member of the cast, including the resident Big Guys like Alex, Zangief, other Birdies and even Abigail, who's objectively even larger than him! | |

This used to be the norm in Professional Wrestling before WWE, WCW and TNA started requiring just about all of their wrestlers to have chiseled physiques. The extremely large wrestlers, however, often get a pass, such as Big Daddy V, Awesome Kong, and Mark Henry (whose "World's Strongest Man" gimmick comes from having legitimately won a World's Strongest Man competition before entering pro wrestling.) | |

He's also the powerhouse of Team Snakemouth, sporting enough strength to hurl solid blocks of ice in the air and shatter huge boulders by ramming into them. Fellow beetle Stratos of Team Slacker is even bigger around the middle and is so insanely powerful that he can easily be considered to be one of the strongest characters in the setting, bar none. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire Strong Belwas has a fat belly covered in scars—because he lets each opponent cut him exactly once before he kills them. Robert Baratheon is a powerful warrior gone to seed. He's put on eight stone in weight (112 pounds) from the time when he was "muscled like a maiden's fantasy," but has apparently retained at least some of his strength. At one point he shoves badass knight Jaime Lannister off his feet and laughs about how he can still push men like Jaime into the dirt. He also has enough strength to stab a wild boar to death with his guts ripped out. |

One Piece: The first example in the series is Alvida, a morbidly obese pirate who wields a massive mace-club. She only has this status for her first appearance, however; next time we see her, she's become completely unrecognizable due to eating the Sube Sube no Mi (Smooth-Smooth Fruit) Devil Fruit, which removes all friction from the consumer's skin. As a result, this made all of the fat slip off of her body, leaving her a strikingly beautiful, slender woman whose looks would put Boa Hancock to shame, and still wields that mace just as well as before. Butchie of the Black Cat Pirates from the Syrup Village arc fits this…and even more so when he's hypnotized into berserker mode. Brogy from the Little Garden arc fits this nicely…but considering the fact that he's a giant, he's not really expected to be weak at all. Mr 4 from the Alabasta arc. He looks like this and swings a 4-ton baseball bat. Yama from the Skypiea arc. Seriously, with the amount of weight he has on, he's so nimble that it's preposterous. Tom from the Water 7 arc (in a flashback). He's fat, but he can lift an entire ship with one hand! Fukuro from the Enies Lobby arc is very, very round, with comparatively thin limbs. But he's a master of Rokushiki, notable among which are Soru (Shave), Rankyaku (Tempest Kick), and Shigan (Finger Pistol), the last of which he's changed into a full punch, which only makes it more powerful. Blackbeard also qualifies. A massive gut, but hits (and takes hits) like a damn tank. Sentomaru from the Sabaody Archipelago arc is a very good example of this; not only is he masterful in martial arts, but he wields a large axe and utilizes Busoshoku Haki (reinforces physical strength and nullifies invulnerabilities granted by Devil Fruits). Boa Marigold from the Amazon Lily arc also uses Busoshoku Haki but also uses the powers of her Hebi Hebi no Mi (Snake-Snake Fruit) Model: King Cobra, along with a large halberd. Jinbe is an interesting-looking Fishman (a whale shark type) reminiscent of the Oni in Japanese mythology. A tough guy of large girth, he's a master of the distinct Karate of his people along with a variety of other martial arts. There's so much power behind his strikes that even their force can knock an opponent down without physical contact. He's got a good heart and is very honor-bound; he's also got a stylin' outfit. This seems to be rather common with Fishmen, in fact. Other notable examples from the Fishman Island arc are King Neptune, Prince Manboshi, and one of the antagonists, Dosun. Machvise from the Dressrosa arc actually has this as his superpower; he already looks heavy enough, but he can press down on his opponents with a force of up to 10,000 tons. Charlotte Linlin AKA Big Mom is an overweight elderly woman in her late 60s, but as one of the Four Emperors, she was able to earn that title due in part to her absurd physical strength. The same applies to her when she was only 5 years old, as she accidentally killed a bear by smacking it once during a scolding! Queen The Plague, one of Kaido's top subordinates, is large and very round but according to him, it's all muscle. While he hasn't had much chance to prove his strength, one doesn't get a bounty of over a billion Berries by being a pushover. |

Pokémon: Makuhita and Hariyama, given that they are strong Fighting types but they also look like they're fat (as opposed to the Machop line, which has obvious muscles). This is mainly because they're designed to resemble sumo wrestlers. In fact, Snorlax, who might as well be the official "Fat-type" Pokémon, can be a formidable physical powerhouse when trained right. Slaking is also quite fat, and has the fourth-highest base Attack of all Pokémon (so far), tied with Regigigas. Though Slaking is stuck with the physical equivalent of Brilliant, but Lazy, entire teams are built around removing this weakness, because, once it's off, Slaking can easily stand toe-to-toe with even the most powerful of Olympus Mons. Stoutland is a tubby (hence the name) dog-like Pokémon whose best stat is its Attack. Camerupt is a fat-looking camel (an animal whose most prominent features are its fat storage units) whose best stats are Attack and Special Attack. Pangoro looks like a pudgy panda-man but hits like a train with its 124 base attack points and with the Iron Fist ability increases punching attacks by 20%. Played with in regards to Throh; he's no slouch in Attack, but his taller, thinner, blue-skinned counterpart Sawk is significantly stronger. Justified with their martial arts styles: Throh, with his much higher HP and marginally higher Defense and Special Defense, is a Judo master, while Sawk, who trades endurance for Speed, is a Karate master. Conkeldurr is classified as the "Muscular Pokémon", hits extremely hard, can swing concrete pillars around like they were twigs, and is quite short and stout. His evolutionary line was based on circus strongmen, known for being large and muscular people. Charizard qualifies, particularly as Mega Charizard X, which is stouter, fatter, and more muscular than the slim, aerodynamic Mega Charizard Y but hits much harder physically. Tinkaton has a bit of a gut, but is still strong enough to swing around her giant hammer like it's nothing. As for humans, there's two notable Gym Leader examples, Chuck and Crasher Wake. Chuck is an older man, and it's implied that he use to be in fantastic shape. While he still trains, he clearly settled down after marriage, and his Big Eater appetite, once needed to keep his strength up, is now a determent to his slower metabolism. Wake, meanwhile, is a masked wrestler, which are typically a bit doughier around the middle. Hikers also fit this trope, being overweight in all generations but having the stamina to explore mountains and canyons. One in Hoenn even tells you post-battle how to get in shape by carrying a full, heavy backpack and really stomping through rugged terrain. |

X-Men: The Blob from the Brotherhood of Mutants, who had superhuman strength in addition to his girth and gravity power. In addition to this, Blob has the speed and agility you would expect of a fit man, rather than a man his size. It's come as a shock to many opponents to see him move. He was a circus performer before learning he was a mutant, and he did a lot more than just stand in place and show off his invulnerability. Beast, depending on the version. The Ultimate X-Men graphic novel that has him as one of the first students of Charles Xavier shows him as basically looking like the human equivalent of a gorilla, and as agile as a spider monkey. Which is part of the reason that his hair turns blue. Landslide of Cerebro's X-Men has this ability, which is fitting as he is an artificial construct molded after Blob as well as Beast and Sabertooth. |

Byte from Mega Man X3 is a Reploid with the build of a powerlifter: his body is designed to look muscular and imposing while also sporting a big belly. Why he'd be built with a round gut is a mystery since it doesn't seem to offer him an advantage in combat, but it sure as hell doesn't get in the way either. His punch combo can shave off a ton of health and makes him one of the game's most dangerous foes, especially if you're unlucky enough to run into him without any upgrades or Maverick weapons. | |

Seeq, from the Final Fantasy games revolving around Ivalice. You can tell right off that the intelligent and wiry Bangaa are physical powerhouses.

Which he aptly demonstrates by almost killing Viserys and tanking through the Targaryen's mad stabbing, as a fire rages around them. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Dr. Eggman, in some versions. In Sonic Riders, for example, his alignment is "Power," which means that he can bash through obstacles and successfully backhand a truck at one point. Big the Cat also fits the trope, being both fatter than Eggman and The Big Guy in Sonic Adventure, Sonic Chronicles, Sonic Heroes. E-123 Omega from Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic the Hedgehog '06, is no slouch either. Then again, he may not count considering that he's a robot. |

The four protagonists of Deep Rock Galactic are portly, chubby Dwarves with a prominent multi-chin under their beards, but they can sprint for an unlimited time without having to stop to catch their breath, can deal some serious melee damage with their pickaxes and two of them (the Gunner and the Driller) carry heavy weapons that do not weight them down in the slightest. Besides their weapons and tools (and the ammo needed to feed said weapons), all four of them can also carry a lot of minerals without slowing down and can casually pick up and carry objects almost as big as they are while only suffering a minor slowdown effect. | |

Asterix: Obelix is actually a case of Muscles Are Meaningless since his strength isn't muscular, but comes from the magic potion (even if its effects are permanent on him, after, as a child, he fell in a full cauldron of it, and drank it all...). He's also very sensitive about his size and insists that he isn't actually fat. Other notably stout examples include the village chief Vitalstatistix, who is a warrior chieftain after all, and Unhygenix the fishmonger, who in spite of his somewhat sedentary lifestyle (and intolerably awful stock of thoroughly expired fish) is still quite stocky and often seen getting the better of village blacksmith Fulliautomatix, who is far taller and more traditionally muscular. |

The Ogres of Warhammer, and their Ogor successors from its sequel Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, epitomize this trope. They regard a massive gut as the primary sign of strength, and the strongest Ogre character is the Tyrant Greasus Goldtooth the Shockingly Obese. This is actually a good indicator given their biology since the gut is actually a mass of muscle so strong they can devour pretty much everything. Dwarves are short, squat, and tend to have prominent pot bellies. And axes. And short tempers. And if the shirtless dwarf with the obvious gut has orange-dyed hair and a broken nose, what you have is a Slayer, one of the most brutal hand-to-hand combatants in the world, as more than a few clumsy bar patrons have learned just a little bit too late. |

Sergeant Snorkel from Beetle Bailey is a pretty extreme humorous example. His exaggerated bulk and strength together mean that, for example, while can't actually lift himself from the ground, he can do chin-ups one-handed by pulling the bar down to his chin, bending the supports. Subverted in one longer story where Sarge actually became skinny via hypnosis that made him a compulsive jogger and detest food. Everyone saw him as puny and unimpressive, but he still literally killed a bull with a single blow of his bare fist. In the same story, Lt. Sonny Fuzz effectively tried to take his place by first being stout and then becoming strong. That came to an end when he punched the re-obesified Sarge (he ate the bull) on the chin, and broke his newly acquired bicep. A more recent one spelled it out. He does a massive amount of working out and strength training in his morning routine and then has even more massive meals. |

Survival of the Fittest version one had Ian Hargrave, the baseball team's obese catcher. His profile explicitly stated that he was rarely bullied once other kids found out about his strength, and considering the Training from Hell the baseball team went through, it's likely that he had quite a bit of muscle under the blubber. Unfortunately, he was gunned down in his first appearance without getting a chance to use this strength. V4 also has Simon Grey, though he's merely pudgy rather than obese. | |

In League of Legends there are a few characters who are notable for this trope. Gragas, the Rabble Rouser, is pretty much the fattest character in the game by far and is stated in his background to loom over the tallest man. At first glance he's doesn't seem anything more than an uncouth though impressively large drunkard but nonetheless, he holds his own among the League's experienced soldiers and deadly assassins. After his relaunch, Sion also became this. While it's not as notable because of his size, he's quite portly now, and if one looks at his in-game character model, he has a very notable rotund shape. Which fits, as when he was alive he's described as "a human battering ram". Post-relaunch Udyr is also this, and to a fairly realistic degree. He's much portlier than the average male fighter in League (something made clear by his perpetual shirtlessness), but not only is he not out of shape, he's very muscular in the places that matter, namely his arms. If anything, his beefy physique is a tipoff to the fact that he's in fact immensely durable and can shrug off hits like it's nothing. |

Guts Man and Hard Man from Mega Man and Mega Man 3 respectively. The former can jump hard enough to create tremors and dislodge boulders to catch with one hand and throw at you, while the latter jumps pretty high up and launches its fists as boomerangs at you. Mega Man 8's Grenade Man and Frost Man also have some swift physical attacks for someone of their builds. And this says nothing about various other robots such as the Devil series. Byte from Mega Man X3 is a Reploid with the build of a powerlifter: his body is designed to look muscular and imposing while also sporting a big belly. Why he'd be built with a round gut is a mystery since it doesn't seem to offer him an advantage in combat, but it sure as hell doesn't get in the way either. His punch combo can shave off a ton of health and makes him one of the game's most dangerous foes, especially if you're unlucky enough to run into him without any upgrades or Maverick weapons. |

Purple Pikmin are very stocky. One purple weighs as much as 10 Pikmin of other kinds, and they can lift 10 times the weight. Their downside is being very slow, to the point where a purple Pikmin with a leaf or bud on its head simply cannot keep up with the Captains when on the move. | |

Peter Griffin of Family Guy fame is quite overweight, but he can give a beating just as good as he can take one. His son Chris is just as fat, but is also shown to possess great physical strength; many episodes mention him having strong arms (which "Bookie of the Year" reveals to be the result of years of masturbation), and "Stand By Meg" has a scene where he's shown lifting very heavy-looking weights with relative ease in his living room. |

Street Fighter: E. Honda and Rufus. They're also Lightning Bruisers. Honda has moves that grant him great mobility, and Rufus is a bit more of a traditional Lightning Bruiser. Ryu himself comes across as this in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U, as he keeps his exaggerated, overly bulky musculature while other muscular characters have sleeker and/or more realistic builds, and are usually taller too (except for Little Mac). Birdie's Street Fighter V incarnation gives him a rather large gut without sacrificing his developed musculature. While this does give him shades of the Fat Comic Relief to go with it (for example, his V-Skill has him drop banana peels or cans of soda to trip his opponents up), he's still very strong indeed. Several of his attacks involve snatching up the opponent with a chain and smashing them into the ground, which is equally effective on every member of the cast, including the resident Big Guys like Alex, Zangief, other Birdies and even Abigail, who's objectively even larger than him! |

Ryoukan Kurita in Eyeshield 21, who is explicitly the strongest lineman in the country until Gaou shows up. There's also Niinobu Kasamatsu of the Taiyou Sphinx, who is incredibly squat and wide, but as a member of the Sphinx' powerful offensive line, is tremendously strong. This is, however, inverted by Kengo Mizumachi, one of the more formidable linemen in the series, who is extremely tall and lanky. Then again, it's explicitly stated that he has a completely different kind of strength; His height and long limbs give him a lot of leverage against shorter opponents. Daikichi Komusubi also has roughly the shape and consistency of a four-foot-tall concrete pillar. |

Meg from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn appears to be chubby, but her description says that she's fat because of her large muscle. While not as strong as other Knights, Meg can still wipe floors with enemies if trained. Played straighter with her father Brom, who like her has worked on a farm his whole life, but is also a veteran from the Mad Kings War, and despite being a little heavier than in the last game is one of the top two best Generals in the game. There's also the Lion King Caineghis, who while in Lion Form has attack power matched only by his Nephew Skrimir, and it takes even Skrimir a fair amount of grinding to get there. | |

Sigismund Dijkstra from The Witcher is a textbook example, being one of two characters in the entire franchise who could be described as obese. He is also mentioned as being prodigiously strong, and his fighting skills are such that hardened spec ops veterans like Vernon Roche and Isengrim Faoiltiarna are leery about fighting him. King Henselt of Kaedwen is also a heavily built but powerful fighter, though neither as fat nor as dangerous as Dijkstra. |
