Stronger Than They Look	comment	So you meet this character. He looks weak somehow. He's either small and scrawny, or meek, peace-loving and/or gentle, not heavily armed, lazy or untrained, frail and/or sickly, or unassuming. Either way, everything that you see about him doesn't strike you as "strong". But then, said so-called "weak" guy starts lifting something many times his size/weight or breaking something hard without much effort. This "character" may sometimes not be a person; an animal can be this too. Good chance of being in a Mugging the Monster scenario. Related to Hidden Badass. See also Badass Bookwormnote which contrasts with the Genius Bruiser, a big, strong guy, Pintsized Powerhouse, Strong Ants, Killer Rabbit, Cute Bruiser and Glacier Waif for the subtropes of this. (Note, examples that fit in the subtropes would be listed there rather than here.) Compare Badass on Paper, Muscles Are Meaningless and Lightning Bruiser. Contrast Muscles Are Meaningful.

Stronger Than They Look / int_186f724a	comment	Rurouni Kenshin: Sanosuke. Though, his speed has generally been downplayed due to it being a specialty of the main character. From the beginning of the manga, he's been noted to be very quick, even with a massive zanbatou. After abandoning that weapon, he's been able to trade blows with fellow Lightning Bruiser Anji and block gunfire with a well timed Futae no Kiwami. Kenshin himself is every bit the hard-hitting speedster. While he's taken to striking with the blunt edge of his blade, he still manages to cause knockouts and broken bones. He's also managed to keep fighting despite suffering grave injuries.

Stronger Than They Look / int_1a12bbee	comment	The Mighty Thor: The Enchantress is, to all appearances, simply a tall, impossibly-attractive woman, usually wearing either expensive, designer outfits in the style of Midgard, or ornate and revealing costumes suitable for the most decadent assemblage of courtly nobility. In neither case is she carrying any sort of weapon, and her bearing is one of elegantly-graceful poise and sensuality, not anything that implies physical danger or even dangerous athleticism. However, she is Asgardian, which means the tall slim woman you and your mugger friends just cornered on that darkened street is significantly stronger than Spider-Man, and has the speed and endurance to chase you down and destroy you with her bare hands, all without even bothering to use her immense array of magical abilities (and also while wearing 6-inch stiletto heels)

They are rather scrawny and small in stature but the former has a massive Super Power Lottery array of Psychic Powers at his disposal, ranging from Psychokinesis, to Pyrokinesis and more, and is easily the most powerful Player in the story while the latter can summon holy beams of light to rain down on his foes, as well being revealed to be a Physical God.

Stronger Than They Look / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Wolverine isn't exactly scrawny, however, this trope still comes into effect because of his Healing Factor. One side effect is that it increases the density of both his muscles and bones, allowing them to exert more force than would be possible for an ordinary human being without tearing them off their ligaments, breaking their own bones, or liquefying their muscles from over-exertion. His unbreakable adamantium skeleton removes one of the key limits to the amount of muscle power a normal human can exert. X-23 for much the same reasons, though not to the same extent since her bones aren't bonded. However, in her case, it's much more exaggerated since rather than a short but heavily-muscled man, she's a short, slight, pretty teenage girl. Nightcrawler is skinny as Spider-Man, yet he can lift an entire woman above his head one-handed and has even given Sabretooth a run for his money in a close-quarters fight. Storm is a willowy African woman, who can pull Stonewall (who apparently weighs over a ton) one-handed out of a swamp, even he couldn't believe it. The first guardian of the M'kraan Crystal seen during the original Phoenix saga in the X-men looks like a small and fairly weak dwarf, Wolverine quickly learns otherwise after mocking him as with one punch he sent Wolverine into space at escape velocity. Rogue is a slim lady, most X-Men tower over her and Rogue's love interest (now husband) Gambit is much more muscly than her. Of course, Rogue is actually far stronger than him and most X-Men to boot being a Flying Brick able to go toe to toe with the freaking Juggernaut.

Stronger Than They Look / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: Soifon is the main example of the series. She's a tiny woman but is one of the fastest captains in the Gotei 13. Her attacks are based on her exceptional speed and use it to full advantage. On top of that, however, the Official Bootleg confirms that her strongest ability is actually her physical strength rather than her speed. As a result, she's the unarmed combat expert of the captains, something that allows her to use her two strongest abilities together and to their maximum potential. In the manga, her great physical strength manifests in bankai form. As a nuke. Yoruichi is Soifon's mentor and idol. Soifon has spent a century try to surpass Yoruichi in both speed and strength but hasn't made it yet. Yoruichi's reliance on her strength and speed together is so great that, unlike even Soifon, she doesn't even bother to use her zanpakutou in battle.

Stronger Than They Look / int_31a8701b	comment	The Flash, whenever the writers don't forget how much it sucks to be punched by someone going that fast.◊ This has varied over the years, and still varies with the writer. In Wally West's first hundred issues or so, he could usually hit no harder than a typical athlete — his aura absorbed most of the energy. As the editor pointed out, Wally would break his hands with every punch otherwise. When the Speed Force was introduced, it quickly became a catch-all answer to physics gripes; thus Wally's been delivering super-punches again, apparently using the Speed Force to sneak around Newton's third.

In Sonic Unleashed, he does indeed play this straight, as he is able to move fast, destroy tough enemies, and lose only 20 rings per hit. Sonic's "Sonic boost" ability also contributes.

One character even comments upon meeting him that Cas is scrawnier than he expected. Castiel can easily lift several hundred pounds and punching him is more likely to break the attacker's hand than hurt him. This trope applies pretty much universally to all angels and demons in human bodies, as well as any monsters with outwardly human appearances, such as vampires or shapeshifters.

Stronger Than They Look / int_57ad0c07	comment	Several characters in Resident Evil. Jill Valentine stands at a slim 5'5 and weighs at â€Ž50.4 kg yet Jill can still push heavy stone blocks around, overpower numerous foes with She-Fu and in RE3 she's strong enough to shove the hulking Nemesis off a bridge and lift a huge portable rail gun (although it took a great amount of effort on her part) in the remake. In RE5 Jill becomes outright superhuman thanks to Bio-Augmentation. Claire Redfield clearly isn't as bulky as her brother being 5'6 tall and weighing only 52.4 kg. Regardless Claire is still strong enough to kick zombies around, grapple with monsters and in the RE2make Claire wields the Minigun (the average Minigun weighs over 85 lbs btw). Helena Harper from RE6 looks as petite as other RE heroines, but she's strong enough to wrestle zombies and monsters, easily climb a vertical cable wire hand-over-hand and help Leon push a boulder. Albert Wesker is a male example, especially Resident Evil 5. He can move faster than a human eye could perceive, yet is able to punch through a metal wall (not mentioning a ribcage and spine), lift and hurl a missile like a dart, and has a Healing Factor on the verge of immortality. He often hides it behind a normal business suit, a labcoat, or a black longcoat. Maybe the most laconic summation of all his Lightning Bruiser features in one move: he can catch a rocket fired at him and hold it still; said rocket then exploding in his hands merely dazes him. Leon Scott Kennedy in most games is pretty skinny and looks like a real pusheover, however Leon has strength to kick heads off with one Roundhouse Kick, suplex villains so hard their skulls explode, hold open the jaws of mutated shark, push a boulder over, stagger a Monstrous Humanoid with an ax kick to the head and support the weight of a grown woman and her massively mutated brother while danlging from a metal bar. Even as a rookie Leon walks off getting shot and when he's professional agent, he tank tank direct hits from Tyrants.

Stronger Than They Look / int_57f80079	comment	Jace, Isabelle, Alec and Clary from The Mortal Instruments are shadowhunters. They are also teenagers, and do not look very strong, but each of them is superhuman strong and hunts demons. Simon, who is a vampire, also qualifies for it. Actually, it applies to most vampires, werewolves, fairies, and nephilim. Sometimes, however, one is underneath, who looks quite muscular.

Stronger Than They Look / int_5b344855	comment	Wolverine isn't exactly scrawny, however, this trope still comes into effect because of his Healing Factor. One side effect is that it increases the density of both his muscles and bones, allowing them to exert more force than would be possible for an ordinary human being without tearing them off their ligaments, breaking their own bones, or liquefying their muscles from over-exertion. His unbreakable adamantium skeleton removes one of the key limits to the amount of muscle power a normal human can exert.

Therefore your PC could be a delicate elven maiden in full adamantium plate swinging a zweihander that is longer than she is tall.

In-Universe almost everyone thinks Saitama is a weak pretender, and the Hero Association ranks him as a B-Cass hero; only a handful of people learn of Saitama's true, unimaginable strength, often just before they are one-punched into bloody smithereens. Inverted with King, Saitama's counterpart who looks very threatening, and is intimidating enough to make a villain melt with pure fear. However, King himself is a complete Non-Action Guy who became an S-Class hero thanks to taking credit for Saitama's victories. When not "in character", King is a wussy nerd.

And can lift cars above his head, dropkick people to send them flying a block away. And let's not even go into his blades, tentacles, claws, clubs, or shapeshifting powers. It helps that he has a ton of mass hidden beneath that lanky physique, to the point where a four-foot drop to the ground will result in cracked pavement and simply standing on a tank will noticeably slow it down; definitely a hard-hitting speedster. The sequel [PROTOTYPE 2] gives protagonist James Heller similar powers, and a comparison between the two reveals that Mercer is stronger, but Heller is much faster.

Fellow hololive member and real-world roommate Coco Kiryu has repeatedly affirmed Kanata's inexplicable strength and how useful it is around the house, and even her doctor was confused by it relative to her lack of muscle mass.

In Sonic Chronicles, Sonic is the Jack of All Stats except for being the fastest character in the game. In the usual gaming fare, he's a Fragile Speedster and somewhat of a Glass Cannon but it really just depends on whether you can hold on to a single ring. In Sonic Unleashed, he does indeed play this straight, as he is able to move fast, destroy tough enemies, and lose only 20 rings per hit. Sonic's "Sonic boost" ability also contributes. Amy Rose is an adorable pink hedgehog in a cute red dress who wields a large hammer like it's nothing, and has destroyed mechs several times her size with it on many occasions.

Despite that, as Peter Parker he's has been known as "Puny Parker" and treated as a skinny nerd. Most villains and even some heroes write off Spidey as a lightweight to their cost. During Secret Wars (1984) Spider-Man at one point dropped Bulldozer of the Wrecking Crew with a single punch right in front of the Absorbing Man (whose thought bubble acknowledges the "squirt" is trouble) who quickly absorbs some alien steel before he even tries fighting Spidey.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg; on another occasion, she kicked a fully grown dragon in the face hard enough to not only provoke it into going on the offensive, when the entire problem the dragon posed was that it refused to get up from its nap, but actually whine near-tearfully about it afterwards in conjunction with Fluttershy's amazing verbal beatdown. Big Macintosh can also be very fast and very strong when he needs to — being towed to a house doesn't even slow him down, when he's on the run.

Stronger Than They Look / int_ce50887e	comment	Dragon Ball Every Saiyan and half-Saiyan as a child, as well as characters like smaller characters like Krillin pack a massive amount of strength and power. Until he was a late teen Goku, for example, was a short messy-haired kid with a tail who in his first appearance lifted a car. Which itself is nothing compared to the amount of times he effortlessly defeats much larger opponents in tournaments or battles many of whom such as Pamput severely underestimated him due to his stature and age. In spite of his deceiving size, Goku as a preteen and young teen defeated the entire Red Ribbon Army by himself, almost won two world tournaments and killed the infamous King Piccolo whom not even Roshi could defeat. His and Vegeta's sons make his application of this trope look like nothing. Gohan his first son at first glance appears to be nothing but a normal gentle, cheerful, peaceful young boy with none of his father's strength or ferocity until you get him angry by threatening those he loves. At four he was strong enough through pure rage to wound Raditz, a feat Goku and Piccolo the strongest fighters on Earth had to team up to do. At only age 11 Gohan had grown so powerful he had completely surpassed Goku who in turn placed all his hopes in Gohan to defeat Cell. Like before, at first Gohan acts meek and holds back confounded by having to fight, but after Cell's cruelty awakened his inner rage and strength in the form of Super Saiyan 2 Gohan near sadistically, brutally and easily overwhelmed Cell who Goku had no chance of beating and eventually defeated him. Much like Gohan, Goten and Trunks are prodigies at a young age. Achieving the once only mythical Super Saiyan state at ages 7 and 8 respectively and were stronger than Frieza. Again, in spite of being cheerful, playful kids who were prone to bouts of immaturity. When Krillin and Piccolo fought in the 23rd Tournament, Piccolo wrote Krillin off as a "Nothing". Although he ultimately lost the match, Krillin proved to be far stronger than Piccolo expected. This trope is hilariously showcased as well in the world tournament during the Buu Saga. Krillin's first opponent is a much larger fighter who relentlessly mocks his size and strength even saying he'd get the first shot. Seconds later he regretted this decision when Krillin with a bored facial expression immediately rendered him unconscious.

Once Gyutaro became proficient with a sickle he played with by himself, he could overpower men bigger than him to collect debts; as a demon Gyutaro got big muscular arms but his torso remained extremely thin. In terms of build, Mitsuri looks to be about on par with Shinobu, who describes herself as the physically weakest Hashira. However, she has a unique muscle composition that results in her being eight times stronger than what said build would suggest, being capable of lifting a pickling stone with ease when she was a toddler and an image ranking the Hashira by who would win in an arm wrestling contest has her as interchangeable with Sanemi, Giyuu, and Rengoku. She was also strong enough to effortlessly rip one of Muzanâ€™s arms off with her bare hands during the final battle.

Rudy Roughnight from Wild ARMs is a small, thin fifteen year old who can hold his own in a fight and, in the original, can lug around several guns bigger than he is. A Flashback reveals he's had abnormally high strength since childhood, where he's shown throwing a large crate across the square like it's nothing, and accidently terrifying those around him as a result. Wild ARMs 2 has the protagonist Ashley Winchester who fits this trope like a glove. Even though his build is average, he's got a pretty good HP, can insanely be fast even without his Accelerator Force Action, can deal good damage, and yet wields a bayonet that looks like a BFS.
