• The former comedy duo Idan Alterman and Avi Grainik used to perform as a pair of characters named Tsakhi and Meir, respectively, in various skit shows, and between 2001-2003 they hosted a talk show named The Neighbourhood Stars^note  כּוֹכְבֵי הַשְּׁכוּנָה, Kokhvei haShkhuna; for some reason this show doesn’t appear on IMDb . At one point they had a segment on the show featuring the attempts to find a wife for Tsakhi, featuring videos sent by women from all over Israel who tried to win Tsakhi's affections. One of them was a prime example of this trope: a well-built and fairly attractive woman speaking to the camera while lifting weights and talking about training with Tsakhi. Meir wasn't too thrilled with her, but Tsakhi seemed to be more open to her, and even remarked it could be nice to say, "Watch out, or I'll call my wife on ya!" (Eventually he married another famous comedy character, though.)

• Belated Battleships has most of the battleships being this way, with its interpretation of New Jersey in particular consistently being described as muscular, tall and still attractive.

• Child of the Storm:
  • Sharon Carter, described as looking (when undercover) as like the prettier type of PE teacher and attracting fairly blatant stares. She also fights like a brawler, clearly having the muscles to back it up.
  • Her cousin, Carol Danvers, who despite being 14 going on 15 at the start of the story (she developed early, much to her chagrin, thanks to the resultant sexual harassment) and is both nearly six feet tall and stacked. When temporarily aged up, she's all this but more so, being more obviously muscular. Harry, despite being Just Friends with her (at the time), notes that aging had basically perfected what was already there.
  • Diana, when aged up in the same incident, is at least six feet tall as well as being both voluptuous and built like a tank, being considered jaw-droppingly gorgeous, with the narration remarking that her appearance was a living reminder that this young woman was the niece of Helen Of Troy.
• Alvida in Convergent Devil is explicitly just as beautiful as she was in canon after eating her Devil Fruit but is much more muscular as the fruit merely got rid of her body fat rather than the muscles she'd built up from swinging her mace around.
• Coreline: Multiple recurring characters in this Massive Multiplayer Crossover are alternate versions of notable Fictional girls like Rei Ayanami, Asuka Langley Sohryu, Misato Katsuragi and Mari Illustrious Makinami, Diana the Acrobat, Kairi and Rally freaking Vincent that have superpowers, more muscle, and as a result occasionally people make mention of how good they look if not flat-out lust for them.
• Dangan-Pinguino: Chisa Yukizome is already described as a beautiful woman, but it's later on revealed that she's also surprisingly toned and athletic beneath her inconspicuous housekeeping uniform. Her well-sculpted physique is proudly, and delightfully, given further emphasis as she lists off and admires the results from her exercises and housekeeping duty, with special mention on how her legs are perfectly fit and her stomach is at the right shape, but also soft enough to be cuddly. This is shortly before she goes to take a shower. Fritz gets attracted to her exactly because of that.
• In the AU My Hero Academia fanfic Villain Notebook for the Future Melissa Shield becomes this after being deemed by her godfather Toshinori Yagi as a worthy successor to One For All after seeing her admirable qualities and how quirklessness would prevent her from deteriorating from being its vessel like Mirio would have. And thus she immediately undergoes Allmight’s American Dream Plan and cleans up the littered beach, and while partly cleaned up thanks to Mirio, she still has enough of a workload put on her. And by the time she has cleaned up the beach and the UA Entrance Exam has rolled around, Melissa has gone from being a slender and fit girl to developing a muscular and outright brawny physique as Melissa remarks to herself in stunned surprise on how she looks like she can "throw around a grown man" when seeing how beefy she’s become. With Ochako later remarking how she got "guns like those" from her training regimen that Ochako herself is trying to follow as well, as it’s quite apparent Melissa is the most muscular girl in her class. If not in all of UA. Though when showing Shoto a picture of her mother to prove she isn’t Allmight’s lovechild, reveals Melissa’s mother was actually "built like a bodybuilder" and was very muscular, which may partly explain why Melissa became so buff as she seemingly inherited such genes from her mother. Unfortunately it just makes Shoto come with an even more ludicrous conspiracies theory. Heck, while preparing for her exams, Melissa is shown doing chest presses with Mei and Izuku sitting on the bar she is lifting. Without her quirk!
• The Discworld as envisaged by A.A. Pessimal builds on the canonical character of Officer Precious Jolson of the City Watch, well over six feet tall and explicitly described as "a girl with the muscles of a troll on her". On a mission to Howondaland, a horribly beweaponed and physically imposing native soldier makes the mistake of pointing an assegai at her with intent. After she punches him cold, he falls in love with her. Once, that is, he wakes up. For all her size and strength, she is a gentle soul whose passion is breeding exotic cage birds.
• DNMC Original character Nara-Jay Andes is six-foot-nine, muscular, and sports a midriff tank top.

  • Erza and Lucy are also described as having fit and toned bodies.
• The Equestria Girls version of Gilda in Featherfall (Equestria Girls) is quite muscular, tomboyish in appearance, and brutal in a fight. But she also has feminine curves and is quite well-endowed, much to the joy of her new girlfriend Sunset Shimmer.
• Hunters of Justice has during the House Of Mystery arc, reveal that Yang Xiao Long is not only well endowed but is also pretty muscular, as when Weiss was swapped into the brawler’s body, she was impressed when she flexed her arm and saw a well toned bicep pop. To which Yang in Weiss’s body is flattered and remarks she makes sure to work out well enough.
• In the Metroid/Worm roleplay quest Hatchling Quest, Samus has been described several times as being attractive and is physically fit.
  Taylor: I looked the girl over. Her waist-long blonde hair was an unbrushed mess, and she wasn't wearing any make-up. Still, if Emma could be called "attractive" enough for modeling this girl was stunning, she even had a natural beauty mark under her lip. Not only that but from when she was hanging I knew she was ripped, her shirt had fallen enough to reveal abs most of the jocks would kill for.
• Invader Zim Jungle AU: Downplayed with Tak, who is noted to be muscular but not to the point of being masculine-looking, with it not detracting from her otherwise classical beauty.
• Last Child of Krypton: After becoming Wonder Woman -or Supergirl if you are reading the rewrite Asuka is brawnier, more muscular, and still gorgeous. When Shinji saw her he thought she looked even more beautiful.
• Life Of The Legendaries turns Cynthia into this. She's a tall woman with enormous strength (she effortlessly scooped up her Garchomp in a Bridal Carry. That's about 209 pounds!), toned muscles and is almost constantly ogled wherever she goes (even by her own Garchomp!)
• In The Mare Who Once Lived on the Moon Rarity literally drools over Applejack's muscular body.
  • Also Twilight Sparkle after she spends some time in prison exercising. Several mares compliment her buff "warrior's physique".
• Metal Gear: Green: Razak's wife, Mirana, is considered this in Razak's eyes.
• Miraculous Ladybug fanfics often describe Marinette and her Secret Identity Ladybug as this, remarking both how strong (and sometimes surprisingly muscular) Marinette is (explained with both her physical activity as a superhero and baking without electric tools) while also pointing out people are openly attracted to her because of this.
  • Feralnette AU: Marinette has gained some serious muscle from fencing training with Kagami, boxing training with Nora, and sparring with Chat Noir as Ladybug. She also gains the attraction of Kagami, Felix, and Adrien. Felix in particular seems attracted to her because of how muscular she is.
  • In Ripped at first many believed that Marinette wore her loose and rather covering clothes because she was pudgy and had body image issues, but the moment Chloe's little scheme forces her to wear spandex in public and reveal she's ripped everyone can't help but stare in awe and attraction, with no gender difference; and when Marinette says that maybe Adrien was being scared away by her muscles Alya explains that the very muscular Ladybug has turned most of Paris into Amazon Chasers. The (for now) climax of the story has Adrien 80% worried about her safety and 20% impressed by her awesomeness when events force her to take on an Akumatized villain in a knock-down drag-out brawl without transforming… and wins.
• My Hero Academia: Unchained Predator: When the Slayer first sees Miruko in Chapter 2, he is completely entranced in the beauty of the rabbit heroine that reminds him of both Emily and Daisy (the former due to her personality, while the latter is based on her quirk).
• Yang Xiao Long is described like this in My Huntsman Academia. She's drop-dead gorgeous (and she knows it) with a flowing mane of golden hair, but she's also rather muscular, to the point that Ruby says that Izuku's hard-earned biceps from ten months of Training from Hell with Toshinori are "almost as big" as Yang's. She's also a Boxing Battler who weaves right into her opponent's faces and takes their best hits before hitting back twice as hard.
• The Naked Jedi: Yuuzhan Vong are taller and more thickly built than humans, and since they no longer practice ritual scarification or mutilation, Meelan Lah is a rather attractive example of her people. Description often pays attention to Meelan's thick, rippling muscles. And as a Nue Jedi, Meelan Lah's skin, muscles, tattoos, and everything else are on full display.
• Of Gemstones and Watches: Original character Ceres North is described as both very muscular and very attractive.
• Origin Story: It is remarked on that Alex is 6' 2” tall and is muscled like a bodybuilder. Louise, her girlfriend, is of average height and weight for an American woman, and is seen as “tiny” when standing next to Alex.
• Kara Zor-El in book two of the Our Own League series is taller and buffer than her comic self typically is, while no less of a blonde bombshell. In fact, Superboy, who is shorter and skinnier than someone with super strength should be, does a lot of jealous staring at Kara's biceps in narrations from his POV.
• In Pokémon Reset Bloodlines, Clair is described as having well-built arms due to her clan's training, which have driven away several of her dates. Despite this, several characters actually consider her attractive.
• The Pony POV Series has this with Dark World!Rarity. In addition to spending a thousand years as one of Discord's brainwashed Co-Dragons before being redeemed, she also spent it lugging around Tom and tons of rocks. As a result, she's ripped, but she's still...well, Rarity. Twilight even comments that Rarity looks graceful and lovely as ever. Spike also still considers her beautiful, and they finally end up an Official Couple.
• The Seventh Player: Machaira Mekhit, the titular seventh player of the Bad Kids, is incredibly well-built and muscular for someone of her age, and is also seen as attractive by many of the people she interacts with, including some of her own party members. Adaine in particular comes around to seeing her as this, and comes to appreciate it immensely, after a good stretch of time as her friend.
• Shattered Reflection: Rose, Robin's alternate self from another dimension, has a strong physique thanks to her time as a mercenary but still retains an air of femininity. It has gained her a not-small following of admirers within the army.
• In the Naruto fanfic Son of the Sannin, Fu of all people grows from her scrawny canon self into this by the time of Part II, surprising Naruto and his peers when they meet her again.
• Agent Carolina in the fic Stress Relief is described as having a muscular figure. Something that gets quite a bit of positive attention. It's something that York enjoys about her and one reason C.T. has a crush on her.
  Carolina: So, you wanna spot me?
  York: And be emasculated by watching you bench more than I could ever hope to do?
  Carolina: You know you like my abs.
  York: Fair enough. I’m in.
• Superwomen of Eva 2: Lone Heir of Krypton: The story makes an emphasis on Asuka gaining an impressive muscle build and Shinji being attracted to her.
  • The rest of the Superwomen of Eva series provides many examples of the Neon Genesis Evangelion female cast taking a level in this, and in some such as Superwomen of Eva: Emerald Fury (that turns Misato Katsuragi into the Savage She-Hulk) people going ga-ga at the super-stacked superhuman that suffers hefty amounts of combat Clothing Damage is almost a Running Gag.
• Thousand Shinji: Asuka's alternate form is described as spectacularly well-built, muscular and athletic and still downright feminine and womanly and stunningly beautiful. Shinji finds her even hotter than he did before.
  Of the many faces she wore in her divinity, one was as she would have been given another ten years time, of a woman in full bloom at the prime of her life, confident and mature, her body spectacularly muscular and athletic while not sacrificing a single drop of femininity.
• Teen Titans Tokyo: After becoming a Cute Monster Girl, Shampoo goes from being a cute Anime Chinese Girl with an above-average bust to a seven foot tall girl with breasts bigger than her head and visibly muscled. None of this stops Ranma Saotome, who is quite happily engaged to Nabiki Tendo, from finding her attractive.
• Total Drama Legacy: Storm Jackson-Wilkins. She's described as being very muscular, and her girlfriend Serena finds her extremely attractive. Her large breasts definitely help.
• Vow of the King: Isane's canonical height is coupled here with a deceptively-muscular build under her uniform, making her this. While she's somewhat shy about her physique, more than one character compliments her looks because of her muscles, particularly in the omakes where Chizuru unthinkingly says "Dom me, muscle mommy" when Isane flexes nude.
• Voyages of the Wild Sea Horse:
  • Miriam the tiger shark wotan sits in a strange overlap between this trope, Giant Woman and Big Beautiful Woman. This Cute Monster Girl is over 4 meters tall, with rippling muscles on her limbs, a soft potbelly, wide hips and breasts that are implied to be enormous even for her stature, with them being described as larger than her head. Despite her very visible muscles, she's beautiful enough that even Ranma Saotome, who has three very jealous would-be lovers, comments appreciatively on her beauty and bustiness, whilst the shyer Ryoga Hibiki passes out at the first sight of her in her trademark two-piece bikini. Future crewmember Harumi is also visibly smitten with her at first sight, blushing like a schoolgirl when she effortlessly lifts him to his feet and fawning on her when she shows off her strength by bulldozing a path through dense jungle, shoving aside boulders and pushing down trees with her bare hands. The two of them end up becoming a Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy couple, and are utterly devoted to each other.
  • Upon gaining his Gender Bender curse, Ryoga Hibiki's female form is described as tall, muscular, but also gorgeous and large-breasted, to the extent that even Ranma Saotome, who has every reason to not find Ryoga-chan attractive, still thinks she's beautiful upon seeing her up-close.

• Luisa in Encanto has a very muscular build while also being a Brawn Hilda, and during her reggaeton musical number she busts some seriously sensual dance moves with her donkey backup dancers.
• Ghost in the Shell (1995): In comparison to later depictions, Major Motoko Kusanagi is shown to have some muscle on her bones (such as when trying to rip open the hatch of a tank late in the movie, although she pushes her cyborg body past its limits, literally pulling herself apart). The extremely tight thermoptic camouflage bodysuit doesn't exactly leave much to the imagination either. The suit sticks pretty close to the manga as author Shirow Masamune is extremely fond of drawing statuesque women with an exquisitely detailed musculature.
• Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths features Wonder Woman's Evil Doppelgänger Superwoman, who is shown with a muscular yet curvaceous build. Between this, her outfit, the dominatrix-like attitude, her unrepentant insanity, UST-oozing scenes with Batman, the Designated Girl Fight with Wonder Woman, and the voice of Gina Torres (well-known for playing two other warrior women), she's a bona-fide Amazonian Beauty.

• There's a whole genre of films based on this trope. Most of them feature some girl or other flexing, beating up men, and sometimes wrestling with another girl. They generally run from about PG-13 to softcore porn (there are a few who do hardcore porn, however), depending on the girls participating and what their limits were.
• Aces: Iron Eagle III: Anna is attractive and very muscular. Her introductory escape features a lengthy close up of her toned physique as she lifts her body up by the chains restraining her.
• In The Adventures of Pluto Nash, Pluto and Dina go to see a body alteration specialist, who shows them different projections of what their bodies could look like. One of these is the pair as a male and female bodybuilder. Both of them are very impressed with their new potential bodies. Well, Dina is until Pluto has the specialist give her projection a way bigger chest and butt.
• Conan the Barbarian (1982): Valeria's a tall, muscular warrior woman who's downright gorgeous. Conan is very attracted to her, they become lovers, and she ends up being the love of his life.
• Conan the Destroyer: Zula is a lean, muscular warrior woman from a warrior tribe. Malak and Conan both find her quite attractive.
• Deadpool (2016) gives us Angel Dust (Gina Carano again). She goes toe-to-toe with Colossus and her outfit shows off enough cleavage to cause a Wardrobe Malfunction halfway through the fight.
• Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves: Holga is a tough, muscular barbarian warrior who's nonetheless attractive and has male admirers (including having a former husband).
• Pretty much the entire point of Haywire was to showcase the main character, Mallory Kane (played by former MMA fighter Gina Carano), beat up everyone else in the movie. Especially in the hotel fight, she is in a cocktail dress while doing so, with her arms and legs exposed while doing some rather intense chokeholds.
• Love Lies Bleeding: Deconstructed. Jackie is a beautiful, muscular woman and flexing in skimpy bikinis is her stock in trade; she also provides fanservice via her multiple love scenes with Lou, who's smitten by her at once. However, as Jackie depends on steroids to maintain her physique she becomes increasingly mentally unstable in spite of her beauty, eventually reaching murderous levels of psychosis.
• A Marine Story: Alex is attractive, and shown many times in her bra or a couple times a tank top. Her abs and muscular arms are shown off, including when she arm wrestles men once or flexes. Two women in the film find her appealing, with one becoming her girlfriend, and she previously was seeing another secretly. Being a recently discharged Marine, she keeps very fit.
• My Lucky Stars: The second film of the trilogy notably had a henchwoman (played by real-life bodybuilder Michiko Nishiwaki) with muscles bulging from her shoulders and back and in a one-piece antagonizing the good guys. Against Sibellu Hu said henchwoman puts up a brutal fight, but against Sammo Hung the henchwoman gets knocked out (non-lethally) in a Single-Stroke Battle.
• The sequels to Nemesis, starring bodybuilder Sue Price, feature her as the protagonist. They start off innocent enough, if somewhat cheesecake-ish, but by the fourth one, they get into borderline hardcore.
• Perfect Addiction: Sienna is a very fit MMA fighter and trainer, which leaves her with visible muscles on her body, while also being quite pretty overall. Two men are into her at the same time. She is shown multiple times while working out in revealing clothes or having sex with them, which shows her muscles.
• The Running Man (2025): Laughlin's played by former bodybuilder Katy O'Brian, and her wardrobe is to die for. One sex worker she's seen with is clearly very into her.
• In Skin Deep, Zach (John Ritter), a guy who basically hasn't met a woman he hasn't wanted (or in many cases tried) to have sex with, picks up an attractive woman, Lonnie (Raye Hollitt, who has a bodybuilding background), and goes home with her. When they get naked, he discovers she's a really dedicated bodybuilder, muscles and all. He still finds her attractive and the two have sex.
  Lonnie: I hope you're not frightened now, Zach.
  Zach: I'm not, but fortunately my cock is scared stiff.
• Star Trek V: The Final Frontier has Vixis, the Klingon lieutenant who had some powerful looking arms. Sulu and Chekov seemed to be interested, the latter even commenting on her "wonderful muscles".

• Kaseya in The Amazon's Pledge and The Amazon's Vengeance by Sarah Hawke. She is essentially what Chewbacca would be like if that character were a statuesque, musclebound and buxom human Amazon who feels that she owes the equivalent of a life-debt to the male hero, Jorem, because of a good deed he did for her, including her sexual favor.
• Later volumes of Baccano! have Aging, a roughly seven-foot-tall woman with a physique resembling Michelangelo's David, only with breasts and 50% more muscle definition. While she intimidates the hell out of most men (it's somewhat reasonable to be afraid of a woman who uses a minigun as a one-handed firearm), the text makes it clear that the muscle makes her no less attractive.
• Beware of Chicken: Rou Tigu is consistently noted to have a "sculpted" or "carved" physique, with prominent muscles and a relatively small bust (not flat as a board, by any means, but definitely nowhere near the ample tracts sported by women like Xiulan or Rizu). While the predominant standard of beauty in Xianada leans more towards the delicate and refined (for both genders), quite a few characters are noted to nevertheless find Tigu's build quite attractive.
• Junapur from Cerberon is large, well-muscled, and beautiful. She is also a Little Bit Beastly, but George sees her as strong, swift, and beautiful as the Amazonian ideal.
• The Change Room:
  • Shar is described as lean and having lots of muscles as she swims frequently. Eliza is very attracted to this about her, saying she's nearly got six pack abs, and this is one of Shar's defining physical traits to her, whom she dubs "the Amazon" before they get introduced.
  • Eliza reflects that her first girlfriend Thalia had a lean, muscular build as well, and was attractive to her based on that.
• Codex Alera has Mistress Cymnea, the resident Miss Kitty and later Tribune Logistica of the Battlecrows. Cymnea is a very shapely woman, which she loves to emphasize with form-fitting, sheer and provocative clothes. She also happens to be taller and broader at the shoulder than most men, and is perfectly capable of bodily tossing out a legionare in full armor should he try any funny business with her girls.
• The Courtship of Princess Leia: Teneniel Djo is described as having a lean, muscular build and an earthy beauty to her that Isolder finds attractive despite himself. It helps that she strips off and washes herself right in front of him quite casually.
• Deathworld: Meta is this courtesy of being a Heavyworlder. She can snap a normal man's arm like a twig and can hit a fly with her gun without even aiming. She's also incredibly beautiful and catches the protagonist's eye almost immediately. She's also a Hot Mom (not that her kids are ever mentioned except for that one time) and an Ace Pilot.
• Doom (1995): Fly describes Arlene as being the best-looking woman he's ever seen, but not in the conventional sense of beauty. In particular, he loves her muscle tone. One newbie to the squad once tried to pull down her pants and while the whole squad was interested in seeing more of her ass nobody else was stupid enough to piss her off.
• Earth's Children: Ayla is tall for a woman (nearly six feet) and has an athletic build — her love interest Jondalar even thinks she's one of the strongest women he's ever seen — backed up by her physical strength and skill as a hunter and horsewoman. She's regarded as incredibly beautiful by just about every Cro-Magnon who meets her, though by Clan (Neanderthal) standards (and in her own opinion), she's seen as more of a Brawn Hilda due her unusual height and engaging in activities not usually seen as appropriate for a woman.
• The Expanse: Bobbie Draper is a Martian Space Marine who's curvy, muscular, pretty, and well over six feet tall. Protagonist Jim Holden thinks she looks like a Polynesian beach bunny scaled up 150%.
• Her Wolf in the Wild: Micah is a lean, muscular Butch Lesbian whom Christiana gets attracted to almost immediately, with her muscles being a turn on for her.
• Honor Harrington: Thandi Palane is from the hell planet Ndebele, and is described variously in Crown of Slaves as "statuesque", "an ogress", and "very big and easily the most powerful-looking woman she had ever seen". Of course, she is also described as having a "grin which bordered on dazzling", and especially "That smile. The one which, along with her voice, put the goddess body to shame".
• Hunting in Another World with My Elf Wife: Saran, the eponymous "elf wife", is tall, muscular, and heavyset, which makes her unattractive to the elves of Kopoli (her late parents were from a different tribe). Shin, however, thinks she's gorgeous.
• Hurog: Tisala is tall, muscular and badass. Ward, the protagonist, has been unable to forget her after seeing her once. His brother is at first surprised that Ward remembers her, and then admits he "likes her", too.
• The Iron Teeth: Vorscha is a muscular warrior woman who is also described as good looking.
• The Isle in the Silver Sea: Vina is described as a muscular woman, with her naked body highly arousing Simran. It's the main feature we get described of her body when she's nude.
• Judge Dee: Ms. Violet Liang is a Mongolian wrestler as tall as the judge himself who effortlessly subdues three crooks attempting to abduct a young woman and sends them to confess in front of the court. Cheng Pa the chief of the Beggar's Guild (no small man himself) is constantly sending people to put in a good word for him, claiming he can't make an official proposal via matchmaker in case she refuses. She doesn't seem opposed to the idea, but... states she won't do anything without an official proposal from a matchmaker.
• Last and First Men: The women of the Second Men share the chiseled features, towering height and heavy frames of their brothers, but it's stated that the First Men would have still found their vitality and expressiveness to be beautiful.
• The Last Legion: Livia Prisca has some serious muscles, but is also beautiful. She is also Aurelius' love interest.
• Legends of Ithyria: Talon's torso and arms are quite muscular from her constant physical training. Shasta is quite turned on by seeing these while Talon's topless.
• In Love Over Gold, the field hockey player Katrien is 186 cm tall, muscular, and beautiful. Diane compares her to an Amazon.
• Make Room for Love: Isabel is portrayed as beautiful, partly because of being muscular, which turns Mira on greatly.
• Millennium Series: The tall, muscular, and pretty Monica Figuerola is described as this by the author and Blomkvist.
• Muddle Earth (Stewart): Brenda the warrior princess is described this way by the narration, with the narration in particular calling attention to her "powerful physique", "firm muscles" and "muscular arms". The illustrations by Chris Riddell portray her with a toned physique, with very powerfully-built legs and toned arms, an appropriate countenance for an experienced barbarian adventurer and heroine and clad in a tunic which displays both her shapely legs and her arms, all of which serve to make her look very attractive indeed.
• Neofeud Short Story Collection: Cindercat uses an artificial body for her Lady Thor cosplay, which is muscular, busty, and stands at 6'2". The protagonist, Gem, refers to her as an amazon goddess and notes that the Lady Thor body is probably strong enough to kill her.
• The Occupation Saga: The Shil'vati women Jason has sex with are all large while also muscular, given they're Marines. He finds seeing their abs clench while they're thrusting down on him very appealing.
• Outlander Leander: In the second book, Axe is over 7' tall and extremely muscular. She's shown lifting heavy objects and tossing them around with ease. Leander also mentions that a lot of people would probably find her attractive if she wasn't a terrifying murderer.
• Pool of Radiance: Due to an errant wish, Shal becomes one. She went from being frail to someone stronger than Tarl, and close to Ren's strength. Both men are instantly attracted to her, and never saw her original self.
• So This is Ever After: The party's female warrior, Sionna. She is a tall, beautiful woman, whose rippling muscles have caused what Arek has described as very inconvenient boners for him and Matt.
• Sphere: Beth Halpern is a very attractive weightlifter. One of the other characters describes her as "Mother Nature with muscles".
• Tales of the Pack: Archer has a lean, muscular form which Lexie finds quite attractive, lovingly describing her stomach's abs when Archer's naked.
• To Be with You: Leah has developed a lot of muscles on her arms and stomach by 2005 when she sees Victoria again. Victoria finds this just enhances her attractiveness.
• Valeria in Tsun-Tsun TzimTzum is a tall, burly warrior woman, and the narration spares no effort in expressing both how big and strong she is and how super-hot she is.
• Wake of the Bloody Angel: Jane Argo is a former pirate turned former pirate-hunter before becoming a Sword Jockey. She's as tall as protagonist Eddie LaCrosse and is described as being wide-hipped and very busty but with a ridiculously small waist. She also has wide shoulders that are as muscular as those of a galley slave. Despite being in her late 30s or early 40s she appears much younger, especially when she lets her hair down and in crowds men constantly have their heads turned her way. Jane favors using an enormous great sword that she can easily swing with one hand. One time Eddie picked it up and had difficulty lifting it even with both hands.

• Most of the female members of the American Gladiators were pretty ripped and their clothing did very little to hide it.
• Hercules: The Legendary Journeys:
  • Atalanta, a muscular blacksmith who wears a leotard-like outfit which shows off her buff arms, most of her chest and butt (really not too different from most of the female clothes in the show). While her physique makes it difficult for her to find romance, a couple of characters, including Hercules and Salmoneus, do find her physically attractive.
  • Hera's Enforcer walks out of the sea and assumes the form of an attractive, raven-haired, muscular woman (who spends her first minutes flexing nude in front of a crowd of onlookers).
• She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: She-Hulk is shown with a clearly muscular (but not bulky) shape, and she's considered very attractive by men and women, even if his dating results are not as satisfactory as she would want. (Titania, on the other hand, is shown as having comparable strength but she doesn't show obvious musculature.)
• The Hexer: The duo of Zerrikanian bodyguards are on the "brawn" side of the trope, but still capable of working as Fanservice. To further drive the point home, two professional athletes were cast for the roles, rather than trying to build the required muscle on any given actress.
• Cara Dune from The Mandalorian is quite a hulk of a woman. She's tall and muscular, and can throw around both the armored Mandalorian and the Klatooinian raiders with her bare hands. And yet she's still an attractive woman who Kuiil wastes little time lightly flirting with in Chapter 7.
• Spartacus: House of Ashur: Achillia. While she's still lean, she is very toned, strong and is considered beautiful by other characters such as Celadus and eventually Tarchon. Pompey is attracted to her as well.
• Special Ops: Lioness: Bobby and Josefina are both fit, muscular women in the US armed forces. Both of them are shown nude in Season 2, with their muscles probably the most notable feature as they're shown at length. Both also are quite attractive and have other people who want them.

• One strip in "A MAD look at the Olympics" has a man fall in love with a muscular discus thrower who stands head and shoulders taller than him. In panel one he notices her, in panel 2 they're dating, in panel 3 they're getting married... and in panel four he's cowering behind a chair while she wings plates at him.^note the joke is that the plates are deadly weapons in the hands of an olympic level discus thrower

• Josie Wahlford "Minerva", a circus strongwoman turned pro wrestler through the 1890s to 1910s who measured at 5'8 165 lbs when "discovered" and reached 6'0 230 lbs in her physical prime, which would be quite large for any time period, especially that one. She received more mainstream publicity than any other woman of her fields during the time and was written about glowingly in San Antonio Daily Light and National Police Gazette, the latter of which was notorious for its pictures of scantily clad women, which included a prime Minerva. Although given the time period visible collar bones or uncovered tights could be considered "scantly clad", the surviving pictures suggesting she preferred Lady Legionnaire Wear.
• The majority of Mildred Burke's promotional photos focused on her bicep, trapezius, deltoid, rhomboid or teres muscles but she was always dolled up and presented as glamorous or accessible wherever the focus was.
• The look Wendi Richter was going for, described by herself as "twisted steel and sex appeal". She rarely forgot to flex in her photos.
• On some level, the large majority of women wrestlers count, not just giants like Minerva or those chiseled like Burke. Even with WWE's branded "divas", who are encouraged to become much skinnier than other wrestling women in the name of "sexy", still tend to be noticeably more muscular than most of the celebrity guest hosts the company brings in.
• Terri Poch was a downplayed case. She had gotten into wrestling after bodybuilding when someone suggested she had a good look for it, but she mostly wrestled for promotions trying to distance themselves from T&A such as LPWA. Zenjo, as was their custom, covered up most of her up, as showing off muscles was still showing off skin in management's eyes. She was then recruited specifically to show what she had, as X-Pac apparently wanted a muscular woman to be his valet. But for whatever reason, she ended up debuting as Loony Fan Tori-who instead went into WrestleMania in a disgustingly ugly body suit-though her entrance video still played up her attractiveness.
• GLOW had Olympia, who had a bodybuilder gimmick, and flexed in her intro rap and entrance. Plenty of promotional photos have her posed sexily while also flexing.
• La Tigresa was a standard setter in Puerto Rican pro wrestling. Not as quite buff as some later examples but by no means slim, able to throw around most men with ease and the subject of many admirers(even though she wasn't single).
• Miss Texas/Ms. Tennessee/Sweet Georgia Brown/Queen Moesha/Sgt Rock, though pretty short, was noticeably cut and had numerous suitors across the territories.
• Mariko Yoshida was above average for her size but wasn't particularly buff compared compared to the rest of the AJW roster either(in her own promotion she's overshadowed by trainee Hiroyo Matsumoto). However, during her runs through shallow rosters, such CMLL(which only had one women's division when she first showed up) or the periodic ChickFight tournament, she got to play it up.
• GAEA Dojo graduate turned trainer and later Sendai Girls co-owner Meiko Satomura. She wrestles in singlets and leotards but she is perfectly fine with donning a two piece to show off her buff body for the camera◊.
• Chyna was initially presented as a Brawn Hilda but kept attracting suitors throughout her wrestling career. As her looks became more feminine through plastic surgery, she attracted Eddie Guerrero. What's more is that he courted her.
• Princesa Sujei initially competed in a singlet that she cut a hole out of to show off her six pack. While she eventually patched it, up Sujei later became known for competing in bodybuilding annually in an effort to break a winning streak of her rival Dark Angel(see below).
• Angel Williams was known as "The Hard Body" and boasted "Perfect" biceps and abdominal muscles. Later, she also boasted "All New 36 DDs".
• This was in fact one of Jim Ross's calling cards in WWE, as he would recruit fitness models for the company, two of which became very successful wrestlers, though Victoria already had a wrestling background.
• Dark Angel moved to Mexico to become a better wrestler but she got just as much attention for her looks as she did for stretching opponents suspended across her back after her mask was removed by Princesa Sujei in LLF. AAA used unmasked Dark Angel almost exclusively for her beauty but she jumped ship to CMLL who also had a great interest in seeing her wrestle. No mistaking that CMLL also wasn't interested in Dark Angel's beauty, as she became staple of their body building contests during her time there, winning seven. But as that implies, CMLL had no problem showing everyone that Dark Angel was cut all over in addition to having a pretty face. She later formed "El Sexy Team" with Goya Kong and Estrellita.
• American Angel's career seemed to be going down a similar path as Dark Angel's after she was also unmasked in LLF by Tsunami and Larry Sweeney thought she'd be perfect for the WWE women's division, whose marketing slogan at the time was "Smart, Sexy, Powerful". Sara Del Rey actively defied his and other's wishes by slapping on scary looking face paint and then getting another mask.
• Beth Phoenix who started her career lecturing fans about what "a real wrestler looked like" and was nicknamed "The Glamazon" in 2005. She calls herself "The Perfect Combination Of Strength And Beauty". When she was in a relationship with Santino Marella, he would sometimes celebrate his wins by leaping into her arms.
• This worked against Torrie Wilson on Thursday Night Smackdown, as she ended being harassed by Dawn Marie, who said she was into Torrie for being so "strong and soft"...though Dawn was also into Torrie's elderly father, so...
• Black Rose was so named by El Profe because of this trope, and this trope was the entire reason Los Compadres recruited her into WWC in the first place, as Rico Suave was looking for a woman who could hurt someone but was still pretty enough to be disarming. Black Rose became closer to Suave's Tag Team partner Bronco #1 however, so when Los Compadres had a falling out Suave beat up Rose and had Demonique serve the same purpose in Poder Supremo, whom he dedicated to destroying all things Bronco(Demonique became closer to Disiple, though Profe was the one to boot them that time)
• IBUKI strong woman Hiroyo Matsumoto is just as likely to strike "sexy" poses as she is to flex and flaunt her muscles.
• Invoked by Nikki Storm, who flexed her muscles while trying to flirt with a referee in Pippa L'Vinn's Wrestling Factory.
• Irish wrestler Katey Harvey plays this up - particularly when she appears for Celtic Championship Wrestling. Her promos reference her muscles and how she's both stronger and more attractive than the other women. Her signature taunt as she enters the ring is a Hair Flip followed by a flex of her muscles.
• Katey's Spiritual Successor is Debbie Keitel, a glamorous model who is also quite jacked herself. Her debut vignette first had her lifting weights and then donning a Little Black Dress.
• Allysin Kay is 5'10 or 6' depending on the source, powerlifts and could hold two of her opponents on top of each other on her shoulders.
• Silvie Silver is a fitness model and wrestler, and likes to flex and flip her hair seductively as she makes her entrance.
• Aksana is a former bodybuilder and fitness competitor and was pushed as a Shameless Fanservice Girl during her time in WWE.
• Hania The Howling Huntress was a fitness model before getting into wrestling. She had particularly well-scuplted abs, and although they weren't part of her gimmick, glamour shots featuring them still regularly found their way into promotional material featuring her.
• Initially downplayed by Alexa Bliss — who is a former bodybuilder — as she was presented as a Cute Bruiser with a 'fairy princess' gimmick. After a Face–Heel Turn to become Hotter and Sexier, this was played up more.
• Dana Brooke had a series of introduction vignettes hyping up her fitness background. Her entrance consists of showing off her muscles in a seductive way.
• Nikki Bella was initially much daintier and waifier — which according to her was achieved by doing daily ab and cardio workouts to match her sister Brie's naturally thinner frame. But while recovering from a knee injury, she got into body building and returned far more jacked than she had been previously. She also wore plenty of skimpy outfits in the ring.
• Jordynne Grace has a powerlifter's phyisque rather than a bodybuilder's, but she wears outfits that show off her curves (both muscles and otherwise), flexes constantly and often incorporates using a workout band to pump he arms up into her entrances.
  • Played straighter in her later career, when Grace took up professional bodybuilding. She shed her firm fat and now has an extremely defined and muscular body and wears skimpier ring gear to show it off (and on social media, wears even less).

• An aversion is enforced in F.A.T.A.L.: high Strength stats in female characters cause equal penalties to Charisma, so even if some spectacularly high STR and CHA roles could technically make a character an Amazonian Beauty, she'd be considered even more attractive if she wasn't Amazonian.
• In Magic: The Gathering, the art for the Ice Age version of Counterspell◊ depicts an muscular woman casting the spell wearing a swimsuit-like outfit.
• Sentinels of the Multiverse's resident Green-Skinned Space Babe, Sky-Scraper. We get a good look at her ample muscle development with both her normal variant's costume (a tight-fitting top and shorts) and her Extremist variant's costume (even more tight-fitting Leotard of Power).
• In Werewolf: The Apocalypse, the official art depicts Zhyzhak (the signature Black Spiral Dancer) as tall, long-haired, very muscular, and wears dominatrix outfits that show a lot of skin.
• The majority of the Amazoness series of cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! are a clan of attractive women who are at least athletically built/toned. Their revealing attire doesn't exactly hurt in this regard either.

• In A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Pseudolus becomes infautated with Gymnasia, a statuesque, mute lady slave from the Island of Silent Women.

• Danganronpa:
  • Sakura Ogami, the Ultimate Martial Artist, in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is a mix of this and Brawn Hilda as she's built like an Olympic bodybuilder to the point where she was nicknamed "the Ogre" but still retains some feminine attributes such as her long hair and the biggest bust size in the trilogy. She was in a committed relationship prior to the events of the game, and in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony one of the fans in the "real world" calls her his "muscle waifu" in addition to bisexual Action Girl Tenko fawning over her in the Alternate Continuity bonus mode.
  • Akane Owari, the Ultimate Gymnast, in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is a more traditional example. Like Sakura before her, she's tall, tanned, and muscular but to a more attainable degree as she's only 5'9" compared to Sakura's 6'4" and most of her muscle definition is in her legs. This, combined with her having the third-largest breasts in the trilogy led to her being sexually harassed so much growing up she became conditioned to accept it as normal and repeatedly offers friends a chance to "cop a feel".
• Kokoro Baka Monogatari: The main character, Player Tuu, thinks jerk jock Soda Genki is sexy due to her muscular physique.
  Tuu: (thinking) Even her breasts look like they could beat me up.

Examples by creator:

• David C. Matthews has quite a few of these as leads to a couple of his webcomics. All of them are hyper-muscular yet busty, with feminine faces. They're either scantily clad or even if they are wearing something modest, it's always depicted as very tight fitting. For starters, there's Tetsuko (which contains a lot of explicit nudity), Contest Jitters, Satin Steele, and Dyna the Damsel Dynamo. This trope is deconstructed in the case of Tetsuko and Contest Jitters. Despite being the titular characters and Ms. Fanservice of their respective comics, not everyone finds either protagonist very attractive, especially their love interests. Tetsuko's boyfriend threatens to leave her because she's more muscular than him, while Janet's boyfriend in Contest Jitters (a prequel to Satin) likens having sex with her to "fucking a man with tits". Though, it's common in the genre to cast the first boyfriend as a Straw Critic who doesn't find women with muscles appealing.

Examples by title:

• Big Break (2019): Kris is a former MMA fighter who's over 6', is quite toned and has attracted the attention of both her roommate Troy and her workout partner Ai.
• Bloomin Faeries has Nadia. A tall muscular blonde beauty who towers over nearly everyone else, even after being turned into a woman. Baby the Orc would also count, though she wasn't so much of a beauty until she slept with the cursed sir Thane, and gained great looks to go with her size and strength.
• Gogo from Bomango, occasionally. She's very muscular and busty, multiple characters in series find her physically attractive (including the main character), and she's been depicted wearing little to no clothing in the comic and bonus art. However, she has poor hygiene, something that's explicitly pointed out and shown throughout the series.
• Zona from The Challenges of Zona is a muscular and tall warrior woman who wears a loin cloth and a top that shows off a lot of underboob. It was love at first sight for the protagonist, who describes her as "a six-foot plus goddess with a Ms. Olympia body".
• Alvida, the titular Demon King of Demon King GF, is a muscular woman with an impressive sixpack. Her husband, the Hero, finds her very attractive.
• Dolmistaska: PM is smitten when first encountering the 8 ft tall, musclebound, boisterous female leader of the hockey guys. Unfortunately she's more brawn than brains.
• Many characters in Drowtales, due to drow gender roles and sexual dimorphism being the inverse of humans, but post-timeskip, Ariel gets several mentions of how attractive she is with her incredible height and musculature, which results in a hilariously awkward moment when she meets a former enemy for the first time in 15 years, and he's immediately distracted by her nice butt.
• In El Goonish Shive, this is usually downplayed with Nanase. She has noticeably larger biceps than other females, but Dan wants to avoid drawing her as overly muscular. That's not to say Dan doesn't occasionally draw Nanase more beefy though. She is attractive enough to be mentioned as someone who several of the comic shop regulars have dreamt of dating. Even Tedd acknowledges her attractiveness.
• Darcy from Ennui GO! is tall, broad-shouldered, very muscular, very stacked, and frequently ends up in sexual situations. However, she tends to dress conservatively and her facial features are quite masculine. That doesn't detract from the fact that most people find her quite attractive, especially her girlfriends Izzy and Tanya.
• In Exiern, Typhan-Knee, an unrepentant barbarian, gets gender-bent by an evil wizard very early in the comics (since the whole theme is "transgender barbarian"). The resulting woman, "Tiffany", is every bit the powerfully-built, able combatant she was when she was still a man... as long as his/her rather misogynistic views don't synergize with the curse and make her a weakling. Even other barbarian women are envious of Typhan-Knee/Tiffany's looks, as Tiffany's brother's mate attests.
• The "Amazon Queen" Miseon Ma in The God of High School is a blonde American pro wrestler with a defined back and arms, as well as a large male fanbase.
• Zeetha from Girl Genius is a classic version, being tall (even relative to most of the men in the comic), beautiful and muscular, and hailing from a culture of sword-wielding women warriors. General "Mama" Gkika is an exaggerated version: as a Jägerkin general, she stands three meters (more than nine feet) tall and has the strength to wield artillery as a sidearm. She also happens to be the only publicly known Jäger general who is still conventionally attractive.
• Almost every superheroine in Grrl Power, with a couple of standouts mentioned below. Most of them are at least athletically built and busty, and there's a lot of Fanservice that shows off that fact. The main character, Sydney, is one of the few superheroines who has neither of those traits and is very self-conscious about it; this appears to be because her powers come from an ancient alien super-tech gadget, whereas any human born or empowered with innate super-abilities seems to get a perfect physique as a side-benefit. (The male supers are all handsome hunks.)
  • Maxima is a tall, muscular, golden-skinned superheroine who is extremely sensitive about her good looks because she feels men treat her like an exotic sex doll.
  • Anvil is taller and even more muscular, but still attractive enough to get hit on by the resident Lovable Sex Maniac. He even mentions her large muscles as an attractive feature. She provides a bit of fanservice, as one of the wallpapers for the series focuses on her sunbathing. The trope is deconstructed in a later storyline, where Anvil admits she's not excited about an upcoming promotional photo shoot. When Sydney sarcastically asks if it's because she's afraid of appearing "too physically perfect", Anvil points out that her body type is actually unattractive to a lot of people, and says that she's bullied for it a lot (especially on the internet). Word of God says that this is why Anvil tries to dress as femininely as possible and sports long hair; she's insecure about her body being seen as "manly".
• Parley from Gunnerkrigg Court has always been One Head Taller than her friends, but after her training as Knight of the Court, she bulks up noticeably and gains some amazing strength and combat skills. Her boyfriend thinks she looks incredible.
• In Hark! A Vagrant's take on the Cinderella fairytale, the Fairy Godmother dolls Cinderella up so she's attractive to the prince by giving her long flowing hair, a new beautiful dress and shoes, and making her extremely buff. This catches the attention of the bodybuilder prince, and they work out together instead of dance.
• Angrboda from Level 1 Housewife is very big and muscular, although there's some form of disfigurement, since her body is covered all over with battle scars from previous fights that she's won. The audience is also treated to shots of her naked or half exposed (for example, wearing sarashi while training). This is one of the things that caused a certain fruit merchant to become smitten with her.
• Mythed-Up: Maccus Normann has never been shy about his love for big, strong women, hence why a good majority of the women in this comic fit this trope, with the most prominent examples being:
  • May, a very large and physically strong oni woman who's very attractive, especially to her boyfriend/husband Jax Jensen. Indeed, much of their TikTok shorts involve the couple being sexually active, with her either wearing provocative roleplay outfits or not much at all, and the humor that comes from Jax regularly going to the hospital due to injuries from the resultant Destructo-Nookie.
  • Mina, a chimera and cook for the Birdcage nightclub, is also heavily muscled and towers over most people, including her own boyfriend Guy, who as attracted to her as Jax is toward May.
• In Nixvir, these kinds of female characters are all over the place, from the goddesses to the female minotaurs to even some faeries (Belphoebe, the daughter of the King of The Fair Folk, King Walbert, and her mother Nicnevin being prominent examples). It behoves us, owing to the sheer amount of them, to use Belphoebe as a prime example; while her physique isn't commented upon much, she is depicted with very well-defined, detailed muscular arms (with biceps, triceps and deltoids on full display), muscular legs and very prominent ab muscles, which can be seen through the Stripperific garment that she wears, a gown composed entirely of leaves. She also has not one Braid of Action but four of them. All of this especially serves to make her look very attractive, even if Erik does not make any form of comment upon this. This isn't entirely out of nowhere, though; her muscular physique is also a nod to the fact that her namesake in Edmund Spenser's 1590s classic The Faerie Queene was a virgin huntress and Action Girl.
• Mizuki from One-Punch Man is very tall and extremely muscular (fitting for a former Olympic athlete turned superheroine). She definitely stands out among the rest of the superheroines, but is still treated as very attractive, if not one of the most beautiful female characters in the series. Not to mention Mizuki has shown to be pretty strong when the need arises to take care of monsters using raw strength and sharply honed athleticism. Some bonus art of her features her undressing, and volume 20 of the series features her and other heroines in swimsuits, revealing her incredibly lean yet curvy body.
• Oni GF: In the present day, Kirika, the titular Oni girlfriend, is very tall and muscular, with rippling abs and bulging biceps. This is something her human love interest Billy very much notices (and takes interest) in.
• In Ramia-Yana: Hero and Demon Lord Chronicles, the titular character, Ramia, has an extremely muscular physique, especially her arms, abs, and back while still having a curvy hourglass figure with large breasts and a large butt. This all gets showcase by her really tight-fitting outfit and a lot of panels in the series a shot casing her butt, boobs and arms. Despite being covered almost head to toe in scars Alexander is easily charmed by her looks and sleeps with her not long after meeting her.
• In Slimy Thief, there's the tall, muscular, Chainmail Bikini-wearing Amazon who's a recurring character. Later on, in a Crossover arc, the character Red is introduced. She's another tall, muscular female warrior, but goes even further by being bare-breasted the whole time.
• Spinnerette:
  • Heather got a Heroic Build complete with large breasts and "girl abs" after getting into a Freak Lab Accident that gave her four extra arms and some superpowers. She decides to become the title heroine and 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.
  • Minerva the Cerberus's three-headed human form also counts, despite her belief that she feels "so weak." Then again, she's about nine feet tall in Cerb form, compared to "only" 7 and a half feet-ish as a human.
• Swolemates:
  • The main protagonist, Alex, is initially assumed to be just a normal gamer, and while she is a professional gamer, she is quickly revealed to be a very well-toned and beefy bombshell underneath her outfit. Like many characters comment in the series, she looks absolutely gorgeous, leaving many in awe with her impressively muscular physique. Even Brayden, the secondary protagonist and initially Alex's narcissistic frenemy turned friend, is always left amazed by her appearance. Yet Alex is still pretty insecure about her appearance overall but is encouraged by her friends to show off more and later has become much more confident showing off her muscles. However, during the second part of the story begins, Alex eventually notices that she's bulked up a bit more as she notices how more well-muscled she's become and even wonders if she's getting "too big" (the readers definitely don't think so).
  • Later, Alex's best friend Dani starts joining Alex in working out in the gym after desiring to get in shape once realizing that she's getting a little overweight from eating too much cake. Eventually, not only does Dani lose the weight, she starts to become very lean and well-toned, to the point that she looks almost rivals Alex physique. Just like Alex, many characters find Dani’s muscular and well-toned body very attractive, even though Dani was very beautiful even before she started going to the gym.
• Tomboy GF has a smorgasboard of hot, muscular women, but the most promient ones are Shion, the titular character, whose attention is always focused on her rock-hard abs (much to her boyfriend's delight) and her mother Akari, who is a professional wrestler, quite buff and tall and gets her own fair share of Fanservice scenes from time to time, even becoming the focus of a NSFW extra comic involving her and her husband.
• Tuesday Titans: The Titans are an entire manufactured species of this taken to its logical extreme: An all-female race of gorgeous, musclebound, anthropomorphic Kaiju.

• "GameGirlPower" is a YouTube channel centered on animations of very muscular female characters ranging from amazonian to gigantic. Many girls display Super-Strength and the stories generally tell a story of girls growing extremely buff.
• Metal Family: Victoria has a toned physique, but in the episode where she makes her debut, the viewer is treated to several close-ups of her well-trained body, including her thick, tree-trunk-like arms and her broad shoulders. This is perhaps fitting considering that she's long been a biker by the time the series starts, but it is something about her that Glam absolutely falls head-over-heels for. This doesn't stop him from idolising her; his drawings of her, which he sketches after their relationship has got off the ground, portray her as even more muscular than she already is. She's also shown in a photograph with Glam in the background, exercising in the gymnasium, having put on significantly more muscle.
• Mama Matsumoto from PUNCH PUNCH FOREVER! has a very muscular physique that is showcased anytime she's in her wrestling clothes. The outfit is already revealing, but the show takes it a step further in episode 3 which has a lot of sensual angles during her fight that focus on her muscles and curves.
• Hippolyta of the Whateley Universe is six feet tall and muscular. She wears tight, skimpy outfits even though she doesn't like guys ogling her. (She does, however like girls ogling her. That's why she is in Poe cottage.)
• Zuzana Light aka "Zuzka" and former "BodyRock Chick". While her clothing style isn't outside the realm of athletic gear, you'd be hard pressed to find her wearing anything that doesn't show off her abs and sizable cleavage and that isn't extremely snug from the waist down. When she was part of Body Rock, the provocative angles all of her videos were shot in added to this image. (After getting her new channel, this aspect of Zuzka's videos has been toned down a bit.)
  • Lisa-Marie Zbozen, the new "BodyRock Chick" (also: the new paramour of Zuzka's ex-husband). Lisa-Marie was less endowed when she started working as Zuzka's replacement, but one elective surgery later she's more or less a carbon copy of the former face of the channel, including the Male Gaze poses.

• In Arcane, Vi becomes this an adult, she's become quite attractive despite spending several years in prison, and has the well-muscled arms to go with it from years of training in her cell. After being freed from Stillwater by Caitlyn, she gets noticed by two Zaunite thugs — one of whom flirtatiously touches her shoulder and flicks her hair — before she beats them unconscious and steals their clothes.
• In Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures it's revealed that the arms of the famed Venus de Milo sculpture were actually very muscular because the sculptor based the statue off his very muscular Amazonian girlfriend, whom he is smitten over because of her muscles and strength. Bill and Ted are pretty impressed as well.
• The episode "Beef" from Dave the Barbarian has Princess Candy trying to woo away a potential suitor from the tall and muscular Bicepia the Warrior Woman by eating magic broccoli to gain a similar figure. However, this begins to go out the window as Candy digests more and more broccoli; she grows more and more buff, but her beauty and brains quickly get thrown onto the backburner.
• In Eek! The Cat, Sharky has a crush on a muscular female "Patriotic Warrior" named "Platinum".
• Futurama:
  • The Amazonians, from the planet Amazonia, are a race of gigantic, muscular, scantily-clad tribal women. There were male Amazonians, but they all died out in mysterious circumstances. The previous male visitors due to crushed pelvises from sex, or, as they call it, snu-snu. Both Fry and Zapp were equally horrified and turned on when they received the sentence of death by snu-snu. Kif is just plain horrified.
    Zapp: What are you, gay?
  • Amy and Leela become this in "The Butterjunk Effect" due to nectar, a steroid-like substance. Fry has a problem with their addiction, though it's more because of their new-found personality traits (distant, aggressive, etc) than their appearance. In fact, Fry seems pretty happy when he ends up sleeping with them.
• Gravity Falls: Although he's quite happy having a long-distance relationship with what's effectively a female version of himself (that is, chubby), Soos had a picture of a muscular woman in a bikini come out of the Mailbox That Knows Everything when he asked it about his dream woman.
• In the Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil episode "Bwar and Peace", the b-plot revolves around Kick's Big Brother Bully Brad falling in love with a seven-foot-tall muscular Viking woman who was too tall to even fit in the camera frame. The two even get married until Brad dumps her to save money for the plane ride home.
• The Legend of Korra
  • Korra has a realistically proportioned athlete's build, with a well-toned back, stomach, shoulders and arms, and she looks realistically stocky and muscular. (Especially by animated standards, being based off the robust builds of real-life female boxers, and she has a note on her model sheet specifically telling the animators not to draw her legs too skinny). She is considered attractive by at least three male characters, and as of the finale, one female, in the series. Unlike most examples, she is fairly short. But compensates with her well-muscled build. Yet In Book 4, following the Time Skip, while she's still very toned and has a swimmer's wide shoulders, Korra is noticeably lither than Books 1-3 and has lost a fair amount of muscle mass. This is intentional, due to Korra suffering a devastating injury at the end of Book 3 that first left her unable to walk for a long time and eventually required years of healing and therapy before she regained her full mobility and ability to keep up with training and physical activities, thus causing her to lose some bulk in-universe. In a meta sense, it acted as a physical representation of how Korra has matured and changed her outlook on the world; in Book 1 she was a hotheaded warrior with a brawny physique who almost always tried to solve problems with brute force and by direct action, whereas in Book 4 she has a lean yet lithe build that thematically fits a mature mediator who tries diplomacy first and chooses to fight when it is necessary or unavoidable.
    • Though after overcoming her mental scars and trauma Korra was able to continue training once again and regained most, if not all of her previous muscle mass eventually.
  • Kuvira has a well toned and muscular body and she is definitely a looker. Lampshaded by Prince Wu.
  Prince Wu: I hope I'm not out of order saying this, you're pretty easy on the eyes for a military type.
• My Adventures with Superman:
  • Supergirl is a leanly muscular Proud Warrior Race Girl with a design inspired by Android 18 from Dragon Ball Z, and in combat initially wears a skintight bodysuit that shows off her curves and athletic build. Her beauty causes Jimmy Olsen to immediately fall for her, with his kindness causing her to reciprocate.
  • Amanda Waller of all people was shown to have been this in her army years two decades prior, sporting a Heroic Build rivaling that of Lois' General Ripper father.
• OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes:
  • K.O.'s mother Carol is one of the main characters, and she easily stands out among the other action girls in the cast with her curvier, toned physique (no small feat, since the girls tend to have wide hips), which she's retained since her former prime days as Silver Spark. Unsurprisingly, she has an admirer in Mr. Gar, who's always been so smitten that he hesitates to even talk to her, and Enid called her a babe upon seeing a picture of her younger self.
  • Foxtail had Super-Strength and a Heroic Build, which also earned her Mr. Gar's admiration.
• By the end of The Owl House, Willow Park had grown into this, with defined biceps and a large chest.
• "Worth Her Weight In Gold" from the Police Academy cartoon gives us the aptly-named Phoenix Amazona, The World's Strongest Woman. Also pulls triple-duty as a Genius Bruiser (seeing as she's the mastermind and muscle behind a gold smuggling operation) and Statuesque Stunner. Oh, and she's a criminal. In fact, Amazona, knowing that the cops are on her tail, actually invokes her appeal to string along the cowardly and smitten-at-first-sight Carl Sweetchuck, flirting with him (including addressing him by pet names and showing up for a "date" in a slinky purple dress) and sending him on errands to unknowingly do the dirty work for her as she tries to cover her tracks.
• This seemed to be the character design standard for women in ReBoot. Dot Matrix, Mouse, and AndrAIa are all tall, muscular, beautiful women who wear tight and revealing outfits.
• Samurai Jack; the Scotsman and his wife sired several dozens of daughters during the Time Skip leading to Season 5. All of them having grown into tall, brawny redheads who go into battle wearing mini dresses.
• She-Ra and the Princesses of Power:
  • Adora is shown to be pretty jacked, and that's just in her regular form; her Super Mode as She-Ra is similarly beefy, and gains an extra foot or two in height. She's also shown to be attractive, particularly given the amount of Ship Tease she gets: her Foe Romance Subtext with Catra is the stuff of legends, she seems extremely close to Glimmer, even Mermista compliments her appearance a couple of times, and when Perfuma first sees Adora in She-Ra form, she practically sees rainbows.
  • There's also Scorpia and Huntara. Perfuma is clearly attracted to both of them, and Adora absolutely smitten◊ by Huntara when they first meet.
• The Simpsons: In "Strong Arms of the Ma", Homer buys a valuable weight-lifting set from a garage sale, and Marge develops anxiety problems due to an encounter with a mugger. Marge eventually starts using the weight-lifting set, and gains not only her confidence back, but also a nice, muscular body. Homer approves of it at first ("It's like I'm married to Shaft!"), but then Marge gets hooked on steroids and grows obsessed with getting stronger, turning her into a violent Brawn Hilda.
• Spider-Man: The Animated Series: While the Black Cat in the Spider-Man comics is usually traditionally femininely shaped, in the series, thanks to a Super Serum similar to the one used in the creation of Captain America, she gains the ability to morph into a taller, muscular, uninhibited Femme Fatale with increased human reflexes and strength clad in a very skin-tight Spy Catsuit (and of course like the comics, there was chemistry between her and Spider-Man).
