SubTrope of VictoryPose. Compare CrueltyByFeet when a character stomps on another with the intention of causing harm or death, CaptainMorganPose, which can look similar but is only done on objects, as well as AtopAMountainOfCorpses, where the character stands or sits on multiple enemies who may or may not be dead. Contrast HoistHeroOverHead where someone, usually a hero, is lifted into the air after being defeated to show the strength of the winner, usually a villain.

Bob defeats John in a fight. To bask in his victory, as well as to rub it in, he puts one of his feet on John's chest and assumes a VictoryPose.

This trope applies whenever one character has defeated another and proceeds to place their foot on a part of their body as part of their VictoryPose. Other parts of the VictoryPose can include raising their fists into the sky, lean on the leg they're using to pose on the defeated or simply looking down at them with a pleased expression on their face.

Note that this is usually not done to cause the defeated physical harm but rather to show dominance and humiliate them further. It is also not uncommon that the defeated is already unconscious or close to unconsciousness when this is done. It also doesn't have to be malicious in nature and can be done after a round of friendly sparring to tease the opponent a bit. Still, it can be seen as a form of UnsportsmanlikeGloating.

It is most commonly found in Superhero-media, where both heroes and villains engage in it, but can also occur in other forms of media, as well.

It might be preceded by a FinishingStomp.

SubTrope of VictoryPose. Compare CrueltyByFeet when a character stomps on another with the intention of causing harm or death, CaptainMorganPose, which can look similar but is only done on objects, as well as AtopAMountainOfCorpses, where the character stands or sits on multiple enemies who may or may not be dead. Contrast HoistHeroOverHead where someone, usually a hero, is lifted into the air after being defeated to show the strength of the winner, usually a villain.

Please note that this trope does not include a hunter posing on a killed animal. Rather, it is solely about a person posing on a defeated person.
