In any decent team, someone's gotta be the powerhouse. Like the name implies, they're usually the largest and/or the strongest member of the team, in charge of heavy lifting. If someone needs to bust open the door, hold the line against the enemy, break down boulders, or help you move your furniture, they are the one to turn to. In a fight they're often the one who holds off the army of Mooks while the others challenge the Big Bad. While The Leader and The Lancer often fight side-by-side, The Big Guy can be a One-Man Army. Against stronger enemies they might end up suffering The Worf Effect; i.e. getting trounced to set up the villain as an unusually grave threat. While most are passionate and unflinchingly loyal, what holds them back from leadership among the core team is being Dumb Muscle. They know how to knock heads together but don't do much in the way of strategy. Despite this, as renowned warriors, they may still exercise authority over the supporting troops. Note: The Big Guy may not necessarily be the strongest on the team (and usually isn't by the end). They just have to be the one who specializes in fighting or physical duties. Common traits and subdivisions of the Big Guy include: Class 1: The typical tough guy. Gruff, mean, sometimes scarred and withdrawn warrior. Could go so far as to be a Berserker. In an entire Five-Man Band of ass-kickers, their big guy will most likely be ready to punch you in the face for smiling at him. Class 2: The Gentle Giant who you don't want to push too far. They can be a calming element in the group, offering both experience and wisdom, or just able to pull two others apart easily. In this case he may show signs of The Heart or Mentor Archetype. Despite, or because of, their size, they're among the least aggressive and nicest of the bunch. They might be a Bruiser with a Soft Center or even a Lovable Coward. Class 3: The Boisterous Bruiser, whose presence is larger than his physical size. This can range from being Big Fun, to an Emotional Bruiser, Blood Knight, or generally being Hot-Blooded and loud. This guy can be as large as the other types, but those with short and Stout Strength are usually here. Class 4: The Pint-Sized Powerhouse, a child or otherwise unimposing person that still packs a punch. If they're not a great athlete their power may come from raw determination. In cases of truly great strength, you may be dealing with a cyborg, mutant, alien, or some other justification for unusual power. This type is more common with female examples who may be a Cute Bruiser or Girly Bruiser. Class 5: A Genius Bruiser who can also fill the role of The Smart Guy. This character is rare (presumably also for balance reasons), as The Smart Guy is traditionally unimposing and the Non-Action Guy. The polar opposite of the Dumb Muscle, this version uses their strength intelligently, and may be diligent in their training and studies. Class 6: The Brute, an exaggerated tough guy to the point of being a bully, and normally Evil Counterpart to any of the other Big Guys. He may be dumb, or too savage to do anything else for the team, but he's kept around because he's good in a fight. Powers and skills common to the big guy: The Big Guy will often be the band's "tank"; a Mighty Glacier who serves as the strongest physical fighter, but also the slowest and least proficient at magic or other specialized skills. Alternatively, he's just a Stone Wall taking the hits for others. The lucky ones are those who are as fast as they are strong. Due to taking on the role of tank, he's also more likely to be the Designated Point Man. Most Big Guys tend to prefer big, heavy weapons like axes, maces, or hammers (or oversized guns like bazookas or chainguns if in a modern/futuristic setting). Others are powerful martial artists who clobber the bad guys with their bare hands. If it's a magical setting, they may also be adept at Dishing Out Dirt or have a Green Thumb, as the "earth" element can be seen as tough, strong, and/or sturdy. Ice and Metal may have similar connotations. More rarely, electricity will be used since it's loud and powerful raw energy. Originally, this trope was Always Male, but in modern times, more and more women are filling this role, which used to be a rarity unless the whole team was composed of women. Since physical strength is usually a masculine trait, she may be a Tomboy, Lad-ette, or mannish, but you can flip this on its head by making her a Girly Bruiser, allowing her to be both strong and feminine, or by making her the Amazon, big and beautiful. If she's playing the tough guy straight, her softer side is often a secret cache of girlish habits which she finds embarrassing. On rare occasions, she may be revealed to be a Butch Lesbian, a Tsundere, or even a Violently Protective Girlfriend. When there are Two Girls to a Team, the Big Girl is often the tomboyish half of a Tomboy and Girly Girl duo. Not to be confused with The Strongman (though overlap is not unheard of) or that other Big Guy. Can have some overlap with Scary Black Man, The Strongman and the Proud Warrior Race Guy, especially when dealing with dwarves. Due to their status as the biggest, most physically dangerous person on The Hero's team, they often fall victim to Big Guy Fatality Syndrome. They often form a Brains and Brawn relationship with The Smart Guy in the group, or will be used as a Foil for them a la Brains Versus Brawn. |

Wonder Woman (1942): While Etta Candy was not the strongest nor biggest of the trio consisting of herself, Diana and Steve Trevor, she was the one who would confidently charge in and fight rather than try for sneakiness like Steve or talking the villains down or pretending to be captured in order to learn more about their opponents. For this reason she was often kept back to charge in once Steve and Diana's attempts at a less violent solution failed. | |

X-Men: Piotr aka Colossus of the X-Men is the poster child for Class 2, who replaced Class 5 Genius Bruiser Hank McCoy/The Beast when he first appeared. Sometimes they're both on the team together...at which point the bad guys should generally start running.

Mortality Watson is the Cute Bruiser type, as well as the Gentle Giant (that shouldn't be pushed too far) type. Go ahead. Mess with his friend. He will cause you a life of SERIOUS pain and agony and not show an ounce of mercy while doing it. Basically, you're dealing with someone who's ruthless if you mess with his friend. Mycroft is taller, but doesn't do the things Watson does, though he is loyal. |

Justice League of America: Superman is usually considered the big guy or the big gun for the team, and is a mix of Class 2 and Class 5, although he's simultaneously The Leader and The Hero. Wonder Woman arguably fits this better than Superman. She has strength comparable to his, which combined with her martial arts skills make her a force to be reckoned with. Batman has called her the best melee fighter on the planet. She has also occasionally been depicted as the team's Blood Knight. |

Hugh from The Night Unfurls is an unorthodox example, given his lean physique, his usage of skill-based weapons (Threaded Cane, Chikage, Simon's Bowblade) rather than power-based ones like BFSs, axes or hammers, and his graceful fighting style instead of brute force all the way. What makes him firmly this trope is that he is mute ("dumb", but not stupid), and that among the Five-Hunter Band, he is considered the most deadly, due to his proficiency in both swordsmanship and marksmanship that allows adaptability in close-quarters and long-ranged fights respectively. | |

RWBY: Yang is the power-fighter of Team RWBY, the only one to fight with her fists. She's designed her weapons to be shotgun gauntlets that increase the attacking and damge power of her strikes. Her Semblance allows her to tank damage from attacks, converting the kinetic energy to power her up and dish out even more powerful attacks than before. She therefore gets stronger the more she's injured. | |

Mr. Mighty from Everyday Heroes, at least in his current team. He could be either Class 2 or Class 5; in practice bouts with his teammates, he wins by strategy rather than pure strength. Has often fought solo in the past, and has learned to outsmart opponents. | |

Several characters in Tower of God fulfil this role. Giant alligator Rak Wraithraiser is the Big Guy (and also astonishingly keen and intuitive), Kurdan is a really big Big Guy for Yuri's team and Kang Horyang is the Big Guy for the season two team. | |

Reprogrammed Imperial security droid K-2SO from Rogue One is only a little shorter (being, probably coincidentally, 7'2" tall) and looms over all the other characters, especially Jyn Erso (whose actress is 5'3"). He's a type four: his actual job is strategy (while his vocation is providing snark and Brutal Honesty), and being huge and very durable is just a tactical advantage as proven when it takes a hail of blaster fire quite a while to kill him on Scarif. To a lesser extent, there's Baze Malbus, who is only 6' tall, but makes up for it with a giant gatling blaster; he's mostly type one. | |

Ultimate Marvel Ben Grimm/The Thing from Ultimate Fantastic Four is the strongest and largest member of the team. He's also pretty big when he's human, too. All-New Ultimates have Bombshell, whose power is to make things explode. The Ultimates: The whole team combined had a hard time dealing with Hulk, but then Thor came and smashed his head into the pavement. Ultimate X-Men: By far the biggest and strongest of the team. He is the "go-to" guy when physical strength is needed. |

The Order of the Stick- In most of the agreed Five-Man Band allocations, the role of The Big Guy goes to either Durkon, a hammer-wielding dwarf cleric whose signature spell involves growing to great size, or Belkar, the halfling Heroic Comedic Sociopath. Both fit the 'small guy, big influence' variant as well. | |

In Turning Red, Abby fills this role which is ironic since she's the shortest member of Mei's friend group. She acts as a bouncer for the group's red panda racket, and since she can knock down Mei with a single punch, they're aware that she's probably the strongest of the four. | |

X-Men Film Series Colossus is the strongest member of the X-Men and his power revolves around hitting hard and shrugging off blows that could take out most other mutants. Arclight in X-Men: The Last Stand. Fred Dukes in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In many ways. In X-Men: First Class, despite not being the largest or physically strongest, Alex's powers are much more destructive than the other young mutants and he's far more likely to pick a fight than the more docile Hank. |

Red vs. Blue: Maine of is a classic Class 1. He's huge, terrifying in combat, and can take unbelievable amounts of punishment. And he doesn't much care if you have a nice day or not. Tex and Sheila/FILSS also apply. Both pretty well fit in the Giantess category; one is only ever seen in full body armor and is an AI in a robot body anyway while the other is literally a tank (and a Cool Ship). Sheila is undeniably the toughest and best fighter in the series (she's a tank and a spaceship with an enormous gun), but Tex is one of the best as well. |

DC Extended Universe: Man of Steel has Nam-Ek, the biggest and most brutish member of General Zod's crew. Diana / Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. While she's physically similar in size to Superman and Batman, she is described by invokedWord of God as being "the best fighter" and is the one doing most of physical fighting in the final battle against Doomsday. Diana also fills this role for Steve Trevor's team in Wonder Woman, being the Token Super. Diana also fills this role in Justice League for the eponymous team in the absence of Superman — even with the additions of Aquaman and Cyborg, she's still stronger than them. Killer Croc for Task Force X in Suicide Squad. Pedro Peña's superhero form for the Shazam Family in SHAZAM!. King Shark for the new Task Force X in The Suicide Squad. |

The Water Phoenix King doesn't have a standard Five-Man Band, more an Ensemble Cast with shifting/shared roles, but Commander Corva has proven to be this this, having the size, the strength, the axe, the hick accent, but at once the Gentle Giant — usually quiet, almost unprovokable outside of battle with a MAJOR loyalty-to-friends loophole — a Lightning Bruiser in combat, and a Genius Bruiser — Deadpan Snarker and the leader of her own group, in her own right, with limited but real Theurgy powers as a priestess of the storm god making her practically a Paladin on top of it all. Definitely someone you want on your side and not the other! If it were a Five-Man Band setup she'd take turns with Anthem being The Lancer to Gilgam (except when he's being The Lancer to Anthem) but since it isn't and she's also a Amazonian Beauty without this being at all controversial it's unsurprising that they've ended up the Battle Couple now. More Meet Cutes should involve KillerRobots. | |

Tremors and it's sequel have a unique example in Burt Gummer, local survival expert and gun nut, when the giant worms attack. The reputation of the series of him being the main character would make some forget that he was the big guy in the first two films. A combination of him having some of the most iconic moments in the films, notably gunning down one of them with a Wall of Weapons alongside his wife, and Michael Gross willing to return to the role led to him being The Hero of the franchise. | |

Critical Role Vox Machina has Grog, a massive, hulking goliath barbarian who absolutely towers over all of his friends. What he does not have in brains, he more than makes up for in raw physical power. The Mighty Nein has Yasha, an aasimar barbarian. She's not the tallest of the Nein, as Caduceus has her beat in that department, but in contrast to his tall and lanky physique, Yasha is broad-shouldered and all muscle. Unlike Grog, she is a very soft-spoken Shrinking Violet, and tries to be as gentle as possible with those smaller than her... although you would do best to not find yourself at the wrong end of her five-foot greatsword. Bells Hells has Ashton, an earth genasi barbarian who, while not exceptionally tall, is still one of the tallest and easily the strongest of the Hells. On top of being large, broad-shouldered, and literally made of solid rock, Ashton wields a massive warhammer made of crystalline glass which they swing around like it weighs nothing. |

Grace and Nanase of El Goonish Shive are both female type 3. Grace because she's a powerful shapeshifter and Nanase because she is a skilled Supernatural Martial Artist. Justin, while not yet physically adept as Grace or Nanase, shows signs of becoming a Class 2 as of New and Old Flames giving him non-illusory magical powers, seemingly related to punching, when he is not acting as a back-up The Smart Guy instead. |

Justice Society of America: Hourman, being the physically strongest and toughest of the original line-up, is the original Big Guy of the Genius Bruiser kind (being a genius Chemist who achieves his power through a pill he created) for the team, since Superman was usually little more than cover-decoration. Though the magnitude of his power varies in how it is depicted, within his Hour of Power, the Man of the Hour has even fought Superman toe to toe. And, though not typically showcased, his Miraclo pill also gives him superhuman speed, making him the second fastest JSAer after The Flash himself. After acquiring his atomic powers and his Atomic Punch, the original Golden Age Atom, Al Pratt, also would qualify as the Big Guy of the JSA, of the Pint-Sized Powerhouse variety. During the Post-Crisis years Power Girl spent a long time as the strongest member of the JSA and the most quick to jump to a physical altercation, despite her fluctuating backstory. Atom Smasher (formerly Nuklon) was the Big Guy and Gentle Giant for the original Infinity, Inc., an incarnation of the Justice League of America and much of the Justice Society of America, until he did a Face–Heel Turn (he later turned back). His godbrother Damage has more or less taken up this role in the current JSA, who until Gog repaired his face was definitely a Class 1. Atom Smasher is presumably a reserve member and still drops in on occasion, usually when the team takes on Black Adam. |

Teen Titans: Like her sister in the Justice League, Donna Troy served this role on the team, being a Flying Brick and Lightning Bruiser with martial arts training. Starfire, Cyborg and Donna occupied this role in the New Teen Titans era. Cyborg was a Genius Bruiser while Donna and Starfire were Girly Bruisers. Starfire herself was a Flying Brick and had combat training since she was a child. Donna mentions that she frequently lost to her in sparring sessions. The Dan Jurgens run featured Risk who had enhanced strength, speed, agility, durability and regeneration. Unlike most of the team, he had no long range abilities making him the Big Guy. |

Muneca Powell from Pacificators is an interesting mixture of Class 2 and Class 4. She's not quite a Gentle Giant towards people she dislikes, but she's great with children. She's also smart (she knows the rules inside and out - and she can actually tolerate and understand all that legalese)... and dresses like a Proper Lady, complete in Victorian era style. But piss her off, and she'll curb-stomp you with her gravity powers. Oh, and did I mention that she's over six feet tall, fights with a Sword Cane (it's hidden in her Parasol of Prettiness), and actually is pretty strong to boot? | |

Cross Cases: Sam Winchester is the tallest character in Supernatural at 6'5" (195cm), a fact that he is evidently used to when he first meets the 6'9" (206cm) Harry Dresden and is surprised to have to look up at someone for once. This is Played With a bit in that the shorter of the two, Sam, fights like a brawler and is, in Harry's words, built like a brick wall, contrasting against Harry's aikido fighting style and lanky build. Sam lampshades it in his narration by calling the two of them a pair of scruffy NBA rejects. | |

At 6'7", Lucca Schmerler is by far the tallest member of Mental Cruelty, to the point of being the subject of many memes from the fandom (which the band regularly shares). He lampshaded it in a Digital Tour Bus walkthrough, where he admitted that he had to claim the largest bed meant for two people in the RV that the band was renting because he couldn't comfortably fit anywhere else. A photo that he took with Dave Simonich in front of a height chart showed that he towered over Simonich, who, at 6'1", is not a small man himself. | |

The Avengers had too many varied line-ups in their history, but their "classic" big guy is Thor. | |

Pokémon Reset Bloodlines: Iris takes this role as the most physically capable member of Ash's group, which is justified as she grew up in the wild raised by Dragon Pokémon. She is a mixture of types 2 and 5, as she's physically the tallest and most athletic of the group, but for the most part very kind and caring in her own way. Over the course of the story she takes to physically train Ash and the others in both physical capacities and the use of their bloodliner powers. | |

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014), all of the Turtles are much larger compared to their traditional appearances, but Raphael is noticeably the bulkiest of the four, standing at 6'5". Donatello, while thinner, towers over him at 6'8". | |

Transmetropolitan: Channon Yarrow is a relatively subtle Big Girl— to be fair, being physically imposing by comparison with Spider Jerusalem isn't that hard. Still, she doesn't easily fit into any of the subtropes. | |

The Pieces Lie Where They Fell: Vix-Lei the minotaur is the biggest and muscliest of the group, relying on raw physical might. Wind Breaker starts as a second one of these for the group, who sometimes fights up close but gradually becomes more of a Long-Range Fighter. | |

Evan of Everyman HYBRID, who is actually smaller than Jeff and Vince but knows martial arts, is always carrying a weapon, and is by far the most intimidating. Subverted, however, in that the only time the group has been antagonized by a human instead of an Eldritch Abomination, he got stuck holding the camera while Jeff tackled the security guard. | |
