** Subverted with Bouncing Boy, who is treated as PluckyComicRelief but rarely is his weight ever used for jokes.
** Played straight with Lightning Lad in the third issue when he switches powers with Bouncing Boy. Bouncing Boy finds it hilarious that "fathead's fat" and Saturn Girl (who gains Superman's Kryptonian powers and strength) acknowledges her new muscles with "I'm ripped! And so is Lightning Lad's underwear." The issue ends with him unhappily learning he'll be stuck this way longer than the other Legionnaires because the virus which swapped their powers lasts longer on "beings with greater weight and mass."

Keep in mind that just because a character is both fat and a ButtMonkey, that does not mean they apply for this trope. [[ButtMonkey Butt Monkeys]] can be played straight or for sympathy, in which case they are not seen as AcceptableTargets, and so do not qualify. Additionally, their status as a PluckyComicRelief or ButtMonkey must be related in some way to their fatness. For example, a ButtMonkey who is picked on ''because'' he is fat would qualify (''if'' PlayedForLaughs), but a ButtMonkey who is picked on for some unrelated reason (such as for being a {{Nerd}}) without consideration for their weight would not.

He stars in the titular war movie as a way to boost his credibility.
