Unsorted (/50)

1. Statuesque Stunner: They are also quite common in the Superhero genre, where they also often have a Heroic Build and the Most Common Superpower. As with those tropes, tall heroines can be more the norm than the exception. Tall heroines have to be extremely tall to really stand out. Looking at published Canon references like DC's Who's Who and Marvel's Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, one gets the impression that the average height for female heroes is something like 179 cm or 180 cm (between 5'10" and 5'11") (and that for male characters, it's about 191 cm (over 6'3")).
2. Characters.FablesLiterals:
   • The bustiest of the sisters.
   • "Romance" fills out her tight, slinky dress most impressively.
3. AppropriatedAppellation.ComicBooks: In PS238, the Most Common Superpower isn't big boobs, it's F.I.S.S.. Cute Bruiser Julie is the eighty-fourth of these documented and as such feels a little inferior until she gains some confidence. She then registers "84" as her official hero name, possibly because Moon Shadow was the first one to call her that.
4. Tarnishing Their Own Beauty: Magical Puberty (NSFW) has witches and wizards undergo a second puberty before their seventh year, giving strong improvements in... certain bodily attributes depending on the person's magical power. Once Hermione sees the scale of Most Common Superpower and other changes she got overnight, she goes to Hogwarts and asks McGonagall to help hide them with illusions so as not to draw too much attention and let people appreciate her for herself. Turns out the Headmistress is using the needed spells herself for the exact same reason.
5. JusticeLeague.TropesMToZ:
   • Wonder Woman is very buxom. Lampshaded when the Atom found out in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Dark Heart".
   • Lampshaded with Galatea, which makes sense since she is pretty much a villainous expy for Power Girl.
   • Otherwise mostly averted with any female character (except for Black Canary, Zatanna, and Vixen) due to the art style used in the series.
6. Characters.MarvelComicsShiar: Prone to getting drawn this way from time to time. Her profile pic above, by Mark Kuettne, is a particularly rich example, as her jumblies are indistinguishable from balloons.
7. Characters.AdventureQuestWorldsChaos: Even though AQ Worlds is a kids' game, she seems to be pretty well-endowed.
8. Glacier Waif: From Neptunia, Blanc/White Heart. Looking at her, especially compared to some of the more well-built characters, you'd be forgiven for thinking this petite, soft-spoken girl, bordering on Token Mini-Moe, was the local White Mage... until she snaps and reveals she's actually the Mighty Glacier: the lowest speed, but the highest physical attack and defense. Averted in Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online, where she switches role to a Priest, and thus becomes a Squishy Wizard.
9. Characters.MarvelComicsEmmaFrost: Frost is one of the very few superheroines known to have breast implants.
10. FanDisservice.WesternAnimation: In The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the buxom Wasp suffers major Clothing Damage, with most of her costume torn up and leaving her near naked. Unfortunately, this happens as a result of her being exposed to gamma radiation and mutating into a giant humanoid wasp, making it anything but sexy.
11. Characters.BatmanBeyondMainCharacters: Despite the fact that she is a 17-year-old high school student without any powers, she's noticeably very stacked. Case of a character within superhero media but who's not a superhero of any kind
12. Characters.HereticalEdgeCrossroadsAcademyStudents: When they first meet, Flick wonders if she's smuggling actual cantaloupes under her uniform.
13. Characters.XMen80sMembers:
    • Fanservice Pack: She started out in Uncanny X-Men as a skinny woman with a crew cut and a penchant for leotards and legwarmers (probably since it was the 80s). After a Wolverine-related injury, she was taken to Spiral's other dimensional "Body Shoppe" and subjected to a never-elaborated-upon process (the Body Shoppe usually specialized in cybernetics), so that when she reappeared in Excalibur she looked like a porn star and wore a spike-studded red leather catsuit (granted she had a mullet, but to be fair, it was the 90s). She also wore a similar catsuit in flashbacks (when she was a brainwashed slave of the anti-mutant Sentinels), though that was more a case of Evil Is Sexy/Evil Costume Switch. Part of it might also be that Alan Davis (co-creator of Excalibur) is a better artist, and/or that he noticed various characters had mentioned Rachel looking a lot like her mother Jean Grey and decided he should make that actually be true.
    • Originally averted: in her first appearances, Rachel was skinny, flat-chested, and rather unattractive, since she came from a concentration camp, being explicitly compared to a Holocaust victim by Wolverine (who, having served in WWII, would know). Of course, she filled out eventually (which, considering that her mother's vast power-set includes the Most Common Superpower, is not exactly surprising) - something helped by her visit to the Mojoverse's Body Shoppe.
14. WhateleyUniverse.TropesAToI: Bigger Is Better in Bed: The flip side of the Most Common Superpower for male Exemplars, often to Gag Penis proportions. An in-world sex manual specifically warns male Exemplars not to be too aggressive because of the risk of harming their partner due to this (the converse warning is made for female Exemplars with baseline male partners, as well, specifically discussing the possibility of of injuring them with their internal musculature).
15. Characters.AlphaFlightTitleTeam: As a female comic character of tremendous height, she definitely had this going on.
16. ComicBook.SavageDragon: Hypocritical Humor: When Dragon receives an offer from Marvey Comics to adapt his life story into a series of comic books, Jennifer responds "Have you seen some of those comic magazines? They're nothing but T&A! Every square is a cheesecake shot emphasizing a shapely body part of some overdeveloped bimbo". Note that Jennifer herself has the Most Common Superpower, and the panel in which she says this consists mostly of a shot of her ass. Heck, the comic does this constantly, so it's not just her.
17. Characters.WonderWomanRoguesGalleryAToL: Circe is quite buxom and busty, fitting for a seductive sorceress.
18. Characters.SpinneretteSuperheroes: Amazonian Beauty: She gets a Super Physique complete with larger breasts and "GIRL ABS" after getting into a Freak Lab Accident that gave her four extra arms and some superpowers. She decides to fights crime with an outfit that covers most of her body but still manages to be very revealing due to its form-fitting nature so her muscles and curves are quite visible.
19. VideoGame.LegacyOfHeroes: All female characters have this 'power'.
20. Oh, Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us!: In "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", Kim and Ron are recovering from a horrible ordeal (detailed in the fanfic "Buried") at the Yamanouchi Ninja School in Japan. While there, they were amused to discover that someone had created a Doujinshi manga based on their adventures. Among other things; Ron is depicted as carrying a BFG and rescuing a very well-endowed Kim, while Shego is depicted as a demoness who has fallen in love with Mr. Barken.
21. WMG.ManOfSteel: WMG: Allison Mack would eventually appear as Power Girl. Because this page needs more crackpot theories. But seriously, she voiced Power Girl in Superman/Batman: Public Enemies and even looked a fair bit like her (except, you know...). The bad thing is she is actually a year older than Henry Cavill now, but she looks young enough to pass as someone in her early twenties.
22. Characters.GalaxyQuest: The essay on her character is "About my boobs, and how they fit into my suit!".
23. Parody Sue: A story arc in Invader Zim: The Series (a fanfic adaptation of Invader Zim) involves a group of these, the leader of whom is named Sue, and murders Jhonen Vasquez for the cancellation of the original series, then becomes the girlfriend of Nick Grey (an admitted Fixer Sue) after his old girlfriend leaves him. During this, she also assists both Dib and Zim from behind the scenes, using her assistance to partly brainwash them into loving her to some extent. This leads to the two becoming vampires through having them eat something during the process of becoming vampires. Naturally, Zim and Dib become vampires that feed on Chinese food and corn, respectively, as well as taking on mutations related to what they feed on. After this, she reveals to Nick that her full name is Relationship Sue, a half-Irken, half-human with the power to draw an infinite amount of guns out of thin air, and that she plans to enslave Zim so that the two can conquer the universe as king and queen. She then kills him. This ultimately leads to an epic battle between the Sues and Zim, Dib, Gaz, GIR, Johnny C, and White, which concludes with Gaz crushing Relationship Sue to death with a monster truck.
    • And she still comes back later on, becoming a recurring villain onwards to the end of the story. In one chapter, Zim uses some of her DNA to create a date for the school dance, for some reason mixing it with Dib's DNA. Said date has huge "tracts of land", and it's pointed out that Zim is so enamored with her that he starts acting completely out of character to impress her. Then she becomes so obsessed with him that she tries to kill him to keep him, at which point Zim begs Gaz and White for help in dealing with her, which leads to her being killed by Gaz and flushed down a toilet. This is all just one entry that's super long
24. MsFanservice.WesternAnimation: The Wasp is an attractive female who often receives Clothing Damage and appears in a bikini in one scene solely to show her Most Common Superpower.
25. Creator.MrMendo: Buffy Speak: From Japanese Hell: "When I think of America, I think of Encino Man. I mean, is there a more patriotic film? It's a movie that shows that no matter what your background is, people will accept you! I mean, sure, it's not perfect, I mean, there are times when you just want to weaz the ju-uice, and they're like, 'Dude, need fundage, bro.' And yes, sometimes we spend a little too much time trying to edge some nug with nice cones to really focus on our problems, but America is a country that would never bag on a bro just 'cause he gets a little crus-ty!"
