Amazonian Beauty: Difference between revisions

This character can take her muscularity to [[Heroic Build]] levels. Sometimes starts out as a [[Super Strong Child]], and usually (if not almost always) is an [[Action Girl]]. Almost always has large breasts. And as mentioned above, is pretty much always a [[Hot Amazon]]. Her smaller (and equally dangerous) cousin is the [[Cute Bruiser]]. Given that these girls are often tall to further enhance their presentation of strength, romances with them are likely to result in [[Tiny Guy, Huge Girl]] and [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]].

{{examples}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* Tania from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh GX]]'', a literal Amazon. She is truly ''gigantic,'' towering over nearly every character in the show. Naturally, she completely blows Bastion's mind and he becomes hopelessly smitten with her (even [[I Choose to Stay|staying with her in her home dimension later]]).

* [[Power Girl]] has always been desirable and has the [[Most Common Superpower]] IN SPADES. But she also often has the muscle to actually hold them up.

** [[Up to Eleven|Even moreso]] as [https://web.archive.org/web/20101204083125/http://www.alexrossart.com/galleries/kingdom/full/kingdomcome_sketch11.jpg Power Woman] in Alex Ross' ''[[Kingdom Come]]''. Ross' bio for Power Woman even notes, "It is my contention that she has aged, but not terribly so, and that her physical stature has swelled to impressive bodybuilder-like proportions so that she represents the most aggressive superhuman attitudes from the female side."

* Grace Choi from ''[[Batman and the Outsiders]]'', despite being more [[Alien (franchise)|Vasquez]]-esque than most superheroines, [http://www.comicvine.com/grace-choi/29-3405/ can't exactly be called "unattractive" either.]

* Power Princess from ''[[Squadron Supreme]]'', who is [[Captain Ersatz|essentially]] a more muscular Wonder Woman.

* Giganta, a member of [[Wonder Woman]]'s [[Rogues Gallery]] and the second [[Secret Six]], [[Meaningful Name|is quite the]] [[Statuesque Stunner]] (6'6" by default, and she can [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|grow to several hundred feet tall]]), but is commonly drawn with a muscular build. This is accentuated by her [[Memetic Outfit|usual attire]] of [[Vapor Wear|a leopard print skirt and matching bra]], giving Giganta a very convincing [[Nubile Savage]] vibe. Unfortunately for fans of this trope, ever since DC's ''One Year Later'' storyline, Giganta dons a [[Hell-Bent for Leather|leather]] [[Spy Catsuit|catsuit]] and appears to be much slimmer.

* [[Supergirl]] is drawn with a considerably more [[Heroic Build]] than normal in ''[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5YsHcdKj67c/TOWTksl9WoI/AAAAAAAABaU/elFp05zTdJ4/s1600/ElseworldsFinest-12%2BSupergirl%2526Batgirl.jpg Elseworld's Finest: Supergirl and Batgirl.]''

* Frank Cho seems to like employing this trope with most women he draws. Most women have some sort of exposed musculature while still maintaining feminine proportions such as large breasts and rears. He also tends to employ [[Male Gaze]] to highlight these points.

* Like Big Barda above, Knockout, a supporting character of both [[Superboy]] and the [[Secret Six]], fits this trope quite well. Her main characterization is as a [[Blood Knight]] who enjoys an [[Interplay of Sex and Violence]] and once attempted put Superboy through a long sequence of [[Corrupt the Cutie]] to be her perfect lover.

* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]] [[Cute Monster Girl|Baalah]] from ''[[Pawn]]'', most prominently in her [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|giantess form]].

* From ''[[Grrl Power]]'', we have [[Chrome Champion|Maxima]] and [[Dark-Skinned Redhead|Anvil]].

* The Tiger girls from ''[[Draconia Chronicles]]'' Especially the "Big Cats" who are noticeably larger and more muscular than other Tigers.
