14
15	A common form of WishFulfillment among those who are out of shape. Most people would exercise or get TrainingFromHell 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!
16
17	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.
18
19	May have something to do with the MostCommonSuperpower.
20
21	SubTrope of PowerMakeover. Often the JustifiedTrope of a HeroicBuild. Compare FrillyUpgrade, BishonenLine, ProgressivelyPrettier, and SexierAlterEgo. Contrast PowerUpgradingDeformation and EvilMakesYouUgly. May involve TransformationSequence and/or GrowingMusclesSequence, and may be part (or all) of the awesome in CursedWithAwesome. If power ''feels'' good, it's a PowerHigh.

25	[[foldercontrol]]
26
27	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
28	* Disturbingly parodied in ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': Lippy is normally a {{Cephalothorax}} whose only human features are a small tuft of hair and [[GagLips disproportionately large lips]] on an EyelessFace. When she's corrupted and empowered, Lippy becomes "[[FanDisservice sexier]]" by gaining a hyper-exaggerated BigBeautifulWoman's figure and long wavy hair, but still has the same face.
29	* Akira Fudo from the ''Franchise/{{Devilman}}'' franchise was just a skinny OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent. After fusing with the devil warrior, Amon, he gets a super powerful body with muscles, a manlier face, and a six-pack. He becomes a ChickMagnet because of this.
30	* In ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'', Miaka is told that she gets ThreeWishes 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 [[HollywoodPudgy thinner]] and [[GenericCuteness prettier]] and more popular with boys at school. Her decisions as to what to wish for [[ComingOfAge evolve over the course of the series]] from entirely selfish, to a combination of selfish and selfless, to entirely selfless... and [[spoiler:even though she gets three wishes, she only actually uses ''two'']].
31	* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
32	** Subverted with Izuku. Being given [[SuperStrength 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 ''[[RequiredSecondaryPowers 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.
33	** Fat Gum has a variation of this: in his normal form, he is BigFun, 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}}.
34	* "Iron Mace" Alvida from ''Manga/OnePiece'' was a FatBitch who forced men to tell her she's beautiful. After she ate the [[SuperSliding Slip-Slip Fruit]], all her excess fat slid off her body, giving her an ImpossibleHourglassFigure and a pretty face.
35	* In ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'', whenever Tsukune is [[SuperhumanTransfusion injected with vampire blood to become a ghoul]], he changes from an UnluckyEverydude looking guy to a {{Bishonen}}. As he is slowly transforming into a vampire, his human appearance also slowly becomes ProgressivelyPrettier over time, and human girls start to fawn over him for his looks.
36	[[/folder]]
37
38	[[folder:Comic Books]]
39	* ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'': Steve Rogers turns from an asthmatic weakling into the pinnacle of human athleticism after being given the super soldier serum.
40	* ''ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew'': Roger Rabbit goes from scrawny and near-sighted to as muscular as ComicBook/{{Superman}} after eating a Cosmic Carrot to transform into Captain Carrot. It doubles as a way to help him keep his SecretIdentity, as no one believes that he's Captain Carrot because of their difference in physique.
41	* ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'': Inverted with Sistah Spooky. She found out that the {{Alpha Bitch}}es at her school had [[DealWithTheDevil sold their souls]] for massive hotness and did the same thing... except her Infernal Services Provider messed up and gave her far more magical power than he'd intended.
42	* ''ComicBook/Gen13'':
43	** Caitlin Fairchild's gen-activation changed her from a redhead ShrinkingViolet geek girl to an AmazonianBeauty.
44	** Ja'nelle Moorhead's gen-activation turned her from a short, overweight wannabe-rapper into a StatuesqueStunner, so basically the same as Caitlin's.
45	* Subverted in ''ComicBook/MsMarvel2014''. When [[Characters/MarvelComicsKamalaKhan Kamala Khan]] first gets her shapeshifting powers, she uses them to look like her idol, [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Carol Danvers]] (in her "[[LeotardOfPower 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.
46	* ''ComicBook/NewSuperMan'': Kong Kenan goes from a tubby 20-something-year-old to being as ripped as well, ComicBook/{{Superman}}, after being imbued with Superman's chi as part of the Chinese government's attempt to create its own party-loyal Justice League.
47	* ''ComicBook/SecretWars1984'': Invoked when Doctor Doom offers superpowers (which include attractiveness upgrades) to two unpopular college girls from the Denver suburb that makes up part of Battleworld. 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 [[SuperStrength strength]], [[NighInvulnerable durability]], and AmazonianBeauty departments.
48	* ''ComicBook/SheHulk'': Somewhat plain, mousy [[Characters/SheHulk Jennifer Walters]] becomes perhaps the definition of AmazonianBeauty, 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 [[DependingOnTheArtist 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.
49	* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'':
50	** [[Characters/MarvelComicsPeterParker 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.
51	** 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 [[ProjectedMan holographic avatar]] [[HardLight that exists and interacts with the world]]. This false body is tall, muscular, [[MostCommonSuperpower almost impossibly busty]], has an ImpossibleHourglassFigure and long, flowing blonde hair (Angelina herself is blonde, though her real hair is much less glamorous).
52	* ''ComicBook/StormwatchPHD'': 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.
53	[[/folder]]
54
55	[[folder:Fan Works]]
56	* In ''Fanfic/AmazingFantasy'', 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.
57	* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has Harry develop into this, with the lean HeroicBuild 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.
58	* ''Fanfic/DaughterOfTheTitan'' and ''Fanfic/TheForbiddenDrink'', like other ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' 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.
59	* This trope is par for the course among natural-born shipgirls in ''Fanfic/HarryAndTheShipgirls''. Even a woman who looks extremely homely tends to end up looking like a supermodel upon awakening as a shipgirl.
60	* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12101236/1/Magical-Puberty Magical Puberty]]'', wizards and witches undergo a transformation before their seventh year. The extent depends on the magical power, and usually involves some kind of improvement to certain attributes. With the kind of witches surrounding Harry, J and K are letters mentioned more than once. Thank Merlin for Featherweight Charms. Harry gets a lot of muscle and a serious case of BiggerIsBetterInBed.
61	* In ''Fanfic/RiskItAll'', 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.
62	* It's common among meta-humans in ''Fanfic/StuporHeroics'' to gain model-perfect looks and well-endowed figures for heroines as a result of their empowering, and even more so if they were ''already'' attractive. [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse Lori Loud]] admits that her already good looks got even better after gaining her powers.
63	* {{Averted\|Trope}} for Bree Daniels from ''FanFic/TalesOfTheCanterlotDeportationAgency''. She mentions that most mages she's met assumed that her breasts and other exotic-to-the-point-of-parody features were the product of Life magic, and they often find it hilarious when they realize that Bree has no real capacity for the [[TabletopGame/MageTheAscension Sphere]] and her appearance is 100% natural.
64	* Taylor's ascent into divinity in ''Fanfic/TheTasteOfPeaches'' came with a dramatic boost to her looks. People question why a trigger event also gives you a makeover. Inari passing down her Fertility domain to her probably helped a lot there.
65	* In ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse'', the already quite beautiful Nabiki Tendo undergoes a significant BreastExpansion after she eats a [[PowerUpFood Devil Fruit]] that gives her [[TechnicallyLivingVampire vampire-themed powers]]. The author has admitted that this was done as a pastiche of both [[WorldOfBuxom the ridiculous number of big-boobied ladies]] in ''Manga/OnePiece'' and the tendency for female vampires to invariably be super-hot (usually by having large breasts), specifically citing Seras Victoria from ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}''[[note]]although, in fairness, she was hugely buxom even before she became a vampire[[/note]].
66	* In ''Fanfic/TheWarcrafter'', [[spoiler: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.
67	* In ''Fanfic/TheWeaverOption'', Taylor's face is described as "angelic" after [[spoiler:she becomes a full Saint and gains her wings]]. Dennis notes that old scars and imperfections that made her look more human had disappeared, giving her a more regal appearance.
68	[[/folder]]
69
70	[[folder:Film -- Animated]]
71	* Hal Stewart from ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'' is a fat lazy loser with a childish personality. After getting Metro Man's powers from Megamind, he is granted the hero's HeroicBuild! [[spoiler:His body is ''literally'' part of his power set: when Megamind depowers him after his FaceHeelTurn at the end, he reverts back to being fat and slovenly.]]
72	[[/folder]]
73
74	[[folder:Film -- Live-Action]]
75	* ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'': Like in the comics, Steve Rogers gets this makeover after his infusion of super-soldier serum. He goes from short and scrawny to so buff it results in Peggy Carter (and Creator/HayleyAtwell) EatingTheEyeCandy.
76	* Creator/DavidCronenberg's shooting script for ''Film/TheFly1986'' played with this -- DoomedProtagonist Seth Brundle, an out-of-shape fortysomething, became much stronger and more attractive in the immediate wake of his TeleporterAccident before BodyHorror and mental decline set in. This was lost thanks both to a tight shooting schedule (December '85 start date for an August '86 release) and the casting of then-33-year-old, TallDarkAndHandsome Creator/JeffGoldblum as Seth, resulting in the character being a nerd with an unusually muscular body (i.e. what originally would have been his post-fusion appearance is that from the beginning). Interestingly, Seth's ''personality'' still noticeably changes -- he's dorky at the start, but in those "high" early stages of his transformation becomes confident and casually, darkly seductive -- which ''does'' make him appear more conventionally attractive, just in a villainous way.
77	* ''Film/MySuperExGirlfriend'': The titular girlfriend goes from unattractive ([[HollywoodHomely well, as unattractive as]] Creator/UmaThurman 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 [[BreastExpansion gaining]] the MostCommonSuperpower.
78	* In ''Film/SpiderMan1'', 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, [[TheGlassesGottaGo fixed eyesight]], and another [[BiggerIsBetterInBed unspecified endowment]] that he refers to as a "big change", but he hides his enhanced physique underneath baggy sweaters and pants when not dressed as Spidey.
79	[[/folder]]
80
81	[[folder:Literature]]
82	* In ''Literature/{{Carrie}}'', the title character is initially described as fairly chunky and acne-ridden. However, she slowly explores her PsychicPowers 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 HollywoodHomely route until her BeautifulAllAlong makeover.
83	* In ''Literature/DouluoDalu'', 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 [[LongHairedPrettyBoy long blue hair]]. Ma Hongjun also goes from having a stout physique that got him called "Fatty" to a tall {{Bishonen}} who could floor people with his noble presence alone.
84	* Protagonist Hiiragi Seiichi from ''Literature/TheFruitOfEvolution'', originally a very {{gonk}}y character who is notably overweight and has legendarily terrible body odor that can ''kill'' certain monsters, is transformed into a handsome, slender {{bishonen}} after eating the titular PowerUpFood. It's perhaps the human equivalent to the same side-effect that causes animals which consume the fruit of evolution [[HumanityEnsues to assume human form]], as was the case with two members of his harem; Salia the gorilla and Rurune the donkey.
85	* In ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'', magic PowerDyesYourHair, [[LockedIntoStrangeness permanently bleaching]] MysticalWhiteHair and causing an EyeColourChange to OccultBlueEyes. How characters feel about that depends as to some it does cause an impression of [[YoungerThanTheyLook greater age]], which, again, is welcome to certain characters like Elspeth. She's glad to get some distance from her childhood reputation as a RoyalBrat. The [[MagicalNativeAmerican 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.
86	** The ''Literature/LastHeraldMageTrilogy'' has a round-faced FarmBoy who was taken in by a Tayledras clan who [[TrainingTheGiftOfMagic trained his powerful Mage-Gift]] and led him to a MeaningfulRename completely transform in appearance over a decade or so, not just changing coloration but ''facial features'', until Moondance was a LongHairedPrettyBoy who didn't stand out in any way from the others.
87	** 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. RealWomenDontWearDresses and BeautyIsBad when deliberate effort is involved, to the point where VanHelsingHateCrimes can come into it, and Vanyel even goes as far as making a MakeupIsEvil comparison.
88	* In ''Literature/TheHouseOfNight'', those who survive the transformation into a vampyre become inhumanly beautiful. Of course, the [[LockedIntoStrangeness goddess-drawn tattoos]] they develop don't hurt.
89	* ''Literature/TheVampireChronicles'': People who are transformed into vampires [[VampiresAreSexGods become uniformly, preternaturally beautiful]]. For people like Armand, who looked angelic in life, the effect is dazzling.
90	* ''Literature/{{Warbreaker}}'': A rare few humans who die heroically [[CameBackStrong Come Back Strong]] as "Returned" with new, idealized bodies, and are [[PhysicalReligion worshiped as gods]] in Hallandren. Most are seven feet tall, beautiful, and perfectly muscled, with some variation -- Blushweaver gets an extra helping of the MostCommonSuperpower, while Allmother looks like everyone's favourite granny. It's eventually revealed to be [[spoiler:a subconscious use of their latent {{Humanshifting}} power]].
91	* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': The Exemplar power defines a template for the body image, making the person conform to it. Usually, it's hot.
92	[[/folder]]
93
94	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
95	* In ''Series/TheFlash2014'', after Barry Allen gains his SuperSpeed, 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 [[HyperactiveMetabolism faster metabolism]] that burns fat quickly (but with the drawback that he needs to [[CastFromCalories pack in extra calories]] to compensate, lest he pass out from hunger).
96	* ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'', like in the comics, once Jen Walters earns the same HulkingOut powers of cousin Bruce Banner the result is an AmazonianBeauty. In a dating app, Jen only lands her one BadDate, while a profile for Shulkie leads to a stream of matches ("Well, that's demoralizing for Jen!").
97	* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'':
98	** Greg Arkin from "[[Recap/SmallvilleS01E02Metamorphosis 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.
99	** Invoked with Abigail Fine from "[[Recap/SmallvilleS04E03Facade 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.
100	* In ''Series/WickedScience'', Elizabeth undergoes this after her transformation into a genius, going from geeky unpopular girl to confident and very good-looking. Although, she was already conventionally attractive, she just had to [[TheGlassesGottaGo take off her glasses]] and [[LettingHerHairDown let down her hair]].
101	[[/folder]]
102
103	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
104	* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'':
105	** Zig-zagged with the Abyssal Exalted, who start to become either [[EvilMakesYouMonstrous repulsive and necrotic]] or [[InhumanlyBeautifulRace unearthly beautiful]] when they receive their powers. It's a SlowTransformation that becomes more pronounced as they grow in strength.
106	** 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.
107	** 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.
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:Video Games]]
111	* Subverted in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' 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 PrehensileHair that undulates like tentacles, her UndeathlyPallor, and inhuman size. Calofisteri has also gone mad from her rituals, constantly boasting about her beauty while believing herself to have [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence]].
112	[[/folder]]
113
114	[[folder:Web Animation]]
115	* Cartoon animator Spazzkid created a cartoon called ''[=PowerTrip=]'' (which can be watched on Website/YouTube and Website/{{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''': [[DontTryThisAtHome DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN!]]
116	[[/folder]]
117
118	[[folder:Webcomics]]
119	* In ''Webcomic/TheGamer'', 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 GrowingMusclesSequence also [[NakedPeopleAreFunny destroys all of his clothes]], including his expensive magic-boosting earring.
120	* ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'': 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 HeroicBuild, women gain the MostCommonSuperPower. 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.
121	* In ''Webcomic/RentalHero'', 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.
122	* ''Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}'':
123	** Heather Brown gaining spider-powers gave her a six-pack she's immensely proud of, and she happily notes to her best friend Sahira that her bust has gotten bigger too.
124	** Dr. Laura [=MacKenzie=] got her powers from a Venusian energy reactor imbedding itself in her chest, causing her breasts to [[BreastExpansion 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.
125	* ''Webcomic/UnholyBlood'':
126	** Upon becoming a vampire, the majority of the vampirized great physical abilities. The majority of Angles of Death had become significantly better-looking after becoming vampires, with Lucien in particular having went from a LeanAndMean SpoiledBrat to having the physique of a fitness model simply because his willpower and ambition were so strong at the moment of his transformation.
127	** PlayedWith in Detective Hwang's backstory. [[spoiler: Euntae was already very fit and good-looking even ''before'' becoming a vampire. It is also shown that some vampires aren't particularly attractive even after their transformation]].
128	[[/folder]]
129
130	[[folder:Western Animation]]
131	* ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' 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".
