A common form of Wish-Fulfillment among those who are out of shape. Most people would exercise or get Training from Hell if they want an amazing body like those characters in TV shows, comic books, or cartoons. Well, if one gets this sort of makeover, he or she won't have to! We have ourselves a scrawny, chubby, maybe just plain ugly person. But then some supernatural event happens. This character has either been bitten by something radioactive, met a dying alien, ate a special type of food, or maybe made a deal with the devil. Now that unappealing person has superpowers and a brand new sexy body! Fanboys and Fangirls are now screaming just to see more of him or her on screen or page. May have something to do with the Most Common Superpower. Sub-Trope of Power Makeover. Often the Justified Trope of a Heroic Build. Compare Frilly Upgrade, Bishōnen Line, Progressively Prettier, and Sexier Alter Ego. Contrast Power-Upgrading Deformation and Evil Makes You Ugly. May involve Transformation Sequence and/or Growing Muscles Sequence, and may be part (or all) of the awesome in Cursed with Awesome. If power feels good, it's a Power High. |

Hal Stewart from Megamind is a fat lazy loser with a childish personality. After getting Metro Man's powers from Megamind, he is granted the hero's Heroic Build! His body is literally part of his power set: when Megamind depowers him after his Face–Heel Turn at the end, he reverts back to being fat and slovenly. | |

In Heralds of Valdemar, magic Power Dyes Your Hair, permanently bleaching Mystical White Hair and causing an Eye Colour Change to Occult Blue Eyes. How characters feel about that depends as to some it does cause an impression of greater age, which, again, is welcome to certain characters like Elspeth. She's glad to get some distance from her childhood reputation as a Royal Brat. The Tayledras, the one people most inundated with magic in the setting, see the inevitable coloration changes as a natural indication of adulthood and celebrate how powerful young mages bleach out early. The Last Herald-Mage Trilogy has a round-faced Farm Boy who was taken in by a Tayledras clan who trained his powerful Mage-Gift and led him to a Meaningful Rename completely transform in appearance over a decade or so, not just changing coloration but facial features, until Moondance was a Long-Haired Pretty Boy who didn't stand out in any way from the others. However, when mages in the setting deliberately change their appearance, generally making themselves more attractive, only the villains ever do it and it's always regarded with dismay or disgust by the heroes. Real Women Don't Wear Dresses and Beauty Is Bad when deliberate effort is involved, to the point where Van Helsing Hate Crimes can come into it, and Vanyel even goes as far as making a Makeup Is Evil comparison. |

Totally Spies! had a very smart and Adorkable guy figure out how to siphon the coolness of other guys and transfer it to himself. The problem is, it's only temporary so he has to keep doing it. The coolness gives him all sorts of abilities he never had as himself and makes him extremely attractive. Once caught, even Sam Clover and Alex lament that it's a shame because he was "Almost Dateable". | |

Stormwatch PHD: The new Diva, Isabella Fermi, used to be overweight and unattractive. When her famous older sister Alessandra died, Stormwatch somehow turned Isabella into a near-perfect duplicate of her sister, complete with powers. This turns into a mixed blessing; on the one hand, she gets to enjoy all the fame and attention that Alessandra once enjoyed, but on the other hand, her teammates distrust her and her career comes to a sudden halt when she's blackmailed, after the media gets its hands on photos of her former appearance. | |

Subverted in Final Fantasy XIV with Calofisteri. She is a Mhachi sorceress who drank the blood of voidsent to maintain her youth and gain demonic powers. While she has the face and physique of a supermodel, her beauty is undercut by her mass of incredibly sharp Prehensile Hair that undulates like tentacles, her Undeathly Pallor, and inhuman size. Calofisteri has also gone mad from her rituals, constantly boasting about her beauty while believing herself to have Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence. | |

Protagonist Hiiragi Seiichi from The Fruit of Evolution, originally a very gonky character who is notably overweight and has legendarily terrible body odor that can kill certain monsters, is transformed into a handsome, slender Bishōnen after eating the titular Power-Up Food. It's perhaps the human equivalent to the same side-effect that causes animals which consume the fruit of evolution to assume human form, as was the case with two members of his harem; Salia the gorilla and Rurune the donkey. | |

In Risk It All, Ren notices that he gets noticeably more muscular while increasing his Strength stat. This is most noticeable after he decides to dump 30 points in Strength all at once, resulting in him packing on twenty pounds of muscle all at once overnight. Upping his Charisma also makes him look better in general, removing pimples, giving him a more pronounced jawline, and making his hair shinier following his six-month coma. | |

Disturbingly parodied in Ayakashi Triangle: Lippy is normally a Cephalothorax whose only human features are a small tuft of hair and disproportionately large lips on an Eyeless Face. When she's corrupted and empowered, Lippy becomes "sexier" by gaining a hyper-exaggerated Big Beautiful Woman's figure and long wavy hair, but still has the same face. | |

In Spider-Man, like in the comics, Peter Parker is a scrawny nerd until he's bitten by the spider, which leaves him in a groggy haze until he goes home and collapses on his bed. He wakes up with muscles and fixed eyesight that he refers to as a "big change" but hides underneath his baggy sweaters and pants. | |

Exalted: Zig-zagged with the Abyssal Exalted, who start to become either repulsive and necrotic or unearthly beautiful when they receive their powers. It's a Slow Transformation that becomes more pronounced as they grow in strength. The Lunar Exalted gain an even more full transformation upon their Exaltation, their bodies permanently changing to be what their ultimate inner perception is like. For many, of course, this means metamorphosing into someone who's hot. The undead can learn the ghostly arts of Moliation, which allows them to mold their ghostly corpuses into different shapes. Rich and powerful ghosts frequently purchase the services of the greatest moliators in the Underworld to keep up with the times. |

In The Warcrafter, when Taylor's trigger event goes awry, she not only gains a different powerset from the original story, but also gains an athletic build and an increase in her breast size. This also happens with main character Adrian and other characters, however, so this is hardly exclusive to her. | |

Warbreaker: A rare few humans who die heroically Come Back Strong as "Returned" with new, idealized bodies, and are worshiped as gods in Hallandren. Most are seven feet tall, beautiful, and perfectly muscled, with some variation — Blushweaver gets an extra helping of the Most Common Superpower, while Allmother looks like everyone's favourite granny. It's eventually revealed to be a subconscious use of their latent Humanshifting power. | |

She-Hulk: Somewhat plain, mousy Jennifer Walters becomes perhaps the definition of Amazonian Beauty, to the point she most often prefers to remain as She-Hulk, once even regarding losing the ability transform back into Jennifer as not an issue. While Jen is sometimes drawn to be more "comic book" attractive in human form, it is generally accepted that her She-Hulk form is more appealing, both in and out of universe. | |

Grrl Power: In the Grrl Power universe, superpowers always make a person who gains them incredibly good looking, regardless of how they looked beforehand. Men gain a Heroic Build, women gain the Most Common Super Power. The fact that Sydney is short and skinny as a board is an instant indication that she doesn't have powers to the other characters. | |

In Fushigi Yuugi, Miaka is told that she gets Three Wishes as the Priestess of Suzaku, and that she can use them for anything she wants. She thinks about the possibilities, and one of them is becoming thinner and prettier and more popular with boys at school. Her decisions as to what to wish for evolve over the course of the series from entirely selfish, to a combination of selfish and selfless, to entirely selfless... and even though she gets three wishes, she only actually uses two. | |

Smallville: Greg Arkin from "Metamorphosis" is initially depicted with pimples, unkempt hair and round glasses. After being mutated by meteor-rock infected bugs, Greg literally sheds his previous skin and becomes more conventionally handsome, ditching the glasses and now having smoother skin and straighter hair. Invoked with Abigail Fine from "Facade". The episode's flashback shows her with a severe case of acne that earned her the nickname "Scabby Abby". Abby underwent a procedure done by her mother using meteor rock which made her more conventionally attractive but also gave her the ability to cause hallucinations in anyone she kissed. |

In The Flash (2014), after Barry Allen gains his Super-Speed, he finds his body is also more toned than it used to be, leading to the page quote. In this case, his powers come with a faster metabolism that burns fat quickly (but with the drawback that he needs to pack in extra calories to compensate, lest he pass out from hunger). | |

My Hero Academia: Subverted with Izuku. Being given One For All didn't turn him from a scrawny nerd to muscled and athletic, it forced him work his ass off to get that way so he could survive using his own power. Even after becoming strong enough to receive it without exploding, he has to continue working out and refining his body so he can handle larger and larger fractions of its power without breaking his bones. Fat Gum has a variation of this: in his normal form, he is Big Fun, being cartoonishly rotund and stout, but when the need arises, he can burn off his fat to gain a massive power boost, transforming into an athletic Hunk. Afterwards, however, he always eats to bulk back up to his usual size and regain his Kevlard. |

Dr. Laura MacKenzie got her powers from a Venusian energy reactor imbedding itself in her chest, causing her breasts to grow comically large. She takes full advantage of this, calling herself Super MILF and openly admitting that she's a superhero because it's a fetish for her. |

My Super Ex-Girlfriend: The titular girlfriend goes from unattractive (well, as unattractive as Uma Thurman can be made to look) to as beautiful as Uma Thurman can be made to look when she gains her powers. Special focus is given to her gaining the Most Common Superpower. | |

In Douluo Dalu, all of the protagonists get progressively hotter as they reach higher levels of cultivation. Tang San emerged from absorbing the Soul Ring of a Man-Faced Demon Spider with fairer skin, a lithe-but-toned physique, handsome features, and long blue hair. Ma Hongjun also goes from having a stout physique that got him called "Fatty" to a tall Bishōnen who could floor people with his noble presence alone. | |

In Rosario + Vampire, whenever Tsukune is injected with vampire blood to become a ghoul, he changes from an Unlucky Everydude looking guy to a Bishōnen. As he is slowly transforming into a vampire, his human appearance also slowly becomes Progressively Prettier over time, and human girls start to fawn over him for his looks. | |

Spider-Man: Peter Parker (Spider-Man himself) gets this treatment by getting bitten by a radioactive spider. He goes from a scrawny science geek to a muscular superhero. Lesser-known villain Stunner is, in reality, an extremely overweight woman named Angelina Brancale. She uses a virtual reality machine invented by Doctor Octopus to create a kind of holographic avatar that exists and interacts with the world. This false body is tall, muscular, almost impossibly busty, has an Impossible Hourglass Figure and long, flowing blonde hair (Angelina herself is blonde, though her real hair is much less glamorous). |

In Carrie, the title character is initially described as fairly chunky and acne-ridden. However, she slowly explores her Psychic Powers over the course of the story, and when Tommy arrives to pick her up for prom, he tells her that she's beautiful. It could be mostly psychological, though, as Carrie also grows more confident in herself until she eventually tells her abusive mother where to stuff it, and a big part of why she was an outcast was her crippling shyness. The film adaptations handle this slightly differently, casting conventionally attractive young actresses in the part and going the Hollywood Homely route until her Beautiful All Along makeover. | |

Daughter of the Titan and The Forbidden Drink, like other The Owl House fanfics that have Luz retain her ability to turn into, or permanently become her half-titan form, has Luz get hit by a double whammy of increased power and increased attractiveness by Boiling Isles standards. This is near-always included in gags involving Amity whose crush, attraction, or romantic attraction towards Luz, depending on the fic in question's placement in the series timeline, go into overdrive around Luz in this state. | |

In Voyages of the Wild Sea Horse, the already quite beautiful Nabiki Tendo undergoes a significant Breast Expansion after she eats a Devil Fruit that gives her vampire-themed powers. The author has admitted that this was done as a pastiche of both the ridiculous number of big-boobied ladies in One Piece and the tendency for female vampires to invariably be super-hot, specifically citing Seras Victoria from ''Hellsing. | |

Child of the Storm has Harry develop into this, with the lean Heroic Build of a dancer or a swordsman by partway into the second book — he's by no means bad looking at first, being considered cute in an adorable kind of way, and it's mostly a growth spurt or two, some magical eye surgery, and a diet to correct his malnutrition. | |

Cartoon animator Spazzkid created a cartoon called PowerTrip (which can be watched on YouTube and Newgrounds). It's about an unattractive geek who watches cartoons and gets superpowers by looking at the sun, giving him muscles and a handsome face. WARNING: DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN! | |

They become Volcana and Titania, the latter of whom becomes an Archnemesis for She-Hulk and the only one who can give her a run for her money in the strength, durability, and Amazonian Beauty departments. | |

In Amazing Fantasy, scrawny, nerdy Izuku collapses after being bitten by a spider and goes into a coma for two days. When he wakes up, he finds that he's muscled all over like a trained acrobat. When his spider-powers develop, he goes from being almost dead-last in P.E. to outpacing even the naturally athletic Bakugou in nearly every activity. | |

In The Gamer, Jee-Han's "The Gamer" ability normally prevents this, as like most MMO characters his appearance won't change just because his stats went up. But when he learns the Cheonbu Spirit Mastery skill from Cheonbumoon, his body undergoes "metamorphosis", upping all of his stats and making him much beefier all over. Unfortunately, the Growing Muscles Sequence also destroys all of his clothes, including his expensive magic-boosting earring. | |

Subverted in Ms. Marvel (2014). When Kamala Khan first gets her shapeshifting powers, she uses them to look like her idol, Carol Danvers (in her "swimsuit" Ms. Marvel costume). She quickly learns changing your outside doesn't change anything about who you are inside... along with many practical downsides of a typical superheroine outfit. | |

In Rental Hero, Junho begins the story as a man of average height and build. But as he uses Justice's powers, his body bulks up to handle the power coursing through it. By Episode 24, passerby comment on his impressive muscles and speculate that Junho is Chrome's boyfriend based on his looks alone when he visits her at the hospital. Even after getting a new wardrobe to accommodate his new size, his tops cling tightly to his broad chest and bulging arms, leaving little to the imagination. | |

In a dating app, Jen only lands her one Bad Date, while a profile for Shulkie leads to a stream of matches ("Well, that's demoralizing for Jen!"). | |
