Line 14:
It is rare for a hunk to be an outright villain. However, a nasty hunk is often used to deliver the [[Moral of the Story]]. In this case, the (usually young, often teenage) heroine will imagine him to be a perfect [[Knight in Shining Armour]] type, but he's actually a [[Prince Charmless]], [[Jerkass]] or vain prick, thus proving that one should not judge another based on appearances.
[[Mr. Fanservice]] is usually one of these. Contrast [[Pretty Boy]]. East Asian pop-culture tends to use [[Bishonen]] as the go-to "hot guy standard" instead. Not (usually) to be confused with [[Hulk]]
{{examples}}
Line 21:
* Abercrombie and Fitch is built on this trope.
* The [[Old Spice Guy]] openly exploits and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this trope.
* Three Words. Bod Men Fragrance.
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
Line 58 ⟶ 59:
* [[Dwayne Johnson|Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson]]'s role as the name role of ''[[The Scorpion King]]'' was parodied in ''[[Mad Magazine]]''. Let's just say they named the parody ''The Scorpion Hunk''.
** The Rock is cast this way in virtually every role.
* In
* In the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]], the [[Hulk]] has always been portrayed with Mark Ruffalo's face, rather than the "troll face" mentioned under Comic Books above.
* Being played by [[Mark Wahlberg]], David McCall from the 1996 film ''[[Fear]]'' is not only a rare villainous example but one that's [[Complete Monster|pure evil.]]
* A lot of male pornstars, gay or straight.
** Lee Stone is a good example. Not only is he very muscular, but he is [[Bigger is Better in Bed|massive between the legs]], killing the "muscular men are [[Compensating for Something]] [[Teeny Weenie|small"]] stereotype. This made him one of [[Chick Magnet|the most sought after]] [[Sex God|adult actors]] in the industry until his retirement.
== [[Literature]] ==
Line 79 ⟶ 82:
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* Due to varying fan opinions and [[World of Badass|the nature]] [[Rated "M" for Manly|of the form of fiction]], it would probably be quicker to mention wrestlers who do not fit this trope.
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Bill from ''[[Bill of the Beach]]'' is super buff, so strong he tore a woman's top off just by flexing, extremely well-endowed, and has so much stamina it took sex with 63 women to get him to start limping. As a teenager he also had [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy|much longer hair]] and took to bodybuilding very quickly.
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 90 ⟶ 96:
* Ludger Will Kresnik, the main protagonist of ''[[Tales of Xillia 2]]'' looks like a typical [[Bishonen]], but during Chapter 15, "Brothers Forever" the anime cutscene shows that he's actually pretty buff when he watches television and arm wrestles with his {{Spoiler|half-brother}}, Julius in a flashback.
* Riku from ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' likely as a result of constant training on the Destiny Isles. Also doubles as [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]].
* A '''LOT''' of male fighters in tournament fighters are this. If we listed every single one, we'd be here for a long time. But some of the most famous examples are:
** Ken Masters and Ryu from the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' franchise.
** Liu Kang and Johnny Cage from the ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' franchise.
** Terry and Andy Bogard from the ''[[Fatal Fury]]'' franchise.
* Because he likes to exercise, Kana from ''[[Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns]]'' is the most muscular (albeit still lean) bachelor in the game.
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* [[Johnny Bravo]]. Despite having the looks, he repulses women because he is such a preening dumbass. [[Word of God]] says Johnny does get girls offscreen though and the cartoon only highlights his failures for laughs. It's even confirmed in "Johnny and the Amazon Women" that
* The aptly named He-Man from ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]''.
* Big Macintosh from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' is a pony version.
