Line 49:
* [[The Hulk]] has his nemesis Emil Blonsky, The Abomination. A gamma radiated one at that.
* In the Marvel ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' comics, [[Boisterous Bruiser]] Horror-show, the heavy weapons expert of the Oktober Guard, seems to fit this trope (His action figure was codenamed "Big Bear"), although he's technically Georgian. Subverted by the rest of the Guard, who have similar builds as other members of G.I. Joe and COBRA.
* The aptly-named Mother Russia from the second series of ''[[Kick-Ass (comics)|Kick-Ass]]''. Seven-foot woman with an eyepatch, arms like utility poles, and a cold, murderous disposition.
== [[Film]] ==
Line 57:
* Though not technically an Ivan, Boris the Blade from ''[[Snatch]]''
* Ivan ([[Running Gag|What a surprise]]) Vanko in ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man 2]]'', who can take a car ''crushing him against a wall repeatedly''. The exoskeleton he's wearing barely gives him any protection either. He also nearly managed to beat Tony Stark in his Iron Man suit.
* "The Russian" from ''[[The Punisher (2004 film)|The Punisher]]'' (2000's). [[No Name Given]] if memory serves, but probably named Ivan.
** [[No Name Given]] indeed. He has no name other than "The Russian" in the comics, and he is a recurring villain with some decent evolution. Knowing that he suffered several brain damages (punches, bullets, ''airplane crash''), it's arguable whether ''he'' knows his own name.
* One of those rare non-Ivans is Nikolai from ''[[Predators]]'', a beefy Spetznaz commando who's also one of the nicer dudes in the cast. He may be partially based on the Heavy Weapons Guy (see below), since he befriends a bespectacled doctor, wields a minigun, and has a son named Sasha (which is what the Heavy calls his gun). Also one of the (formerly) rare cases where such a character is played by an actually Russian actor/bodybuilder.
Line 85:
*** ''[[Punch-Out!!]] Wii'' turns this [[Up to Eleven]] by making him, 6'6", the tallest character in the game even taller than [[Final Boss]] [[Scary Black Man|Mr. Sandman]] {{spoiler|although he might be shorter than [[Donkey Kong]]}} and he does the cossack dance when he wins. Also, in a possible [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Rocky IV]]'', after losing to Mac, scientists create a chemical formula to make him faster and stronger. ''* COUGH Ivan Drago COUGH!* ''
*** The funny thing being that the contender mode montage (instead of the tougher Title Defense mode) features him performing rustic workouts like Rocky did in that movie.
* Likewise, Bayman from the ''[[Dead or Alive (franchise)|Dead or Alive]]'' series, although his character seems to be a touch more intelligent than the usual. But just a touch.
* Molotov from ''[[Facebreaker]]'', [[Lampshade Hanging|a stereotype he's]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsxMqJs4uT4 quite sick of].
* Mikhail in ''[[Psychonauts]]'' is a kid version of this. He wants to fight bears, thinks that American girls aren't any good for wrestling, and eventually becomes Maloof's body guard. It doesn't hurt that he's telekinetic. Also physically huskiest amongst the kids.
Line 122:
* In ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]'', [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture|Jumba fits this trope, despite being a purplish, four-eyed alien.]] Being a [[Mad Scientist]], he's the [[Genius Bruiser]] variant.
* The Russian alleycat in ''[[The Aristocats]]''.
* Agent Grizzlikof of ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]''.
* ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'': Red Star is the same height as Cyborg.=
* Boris from ''[[Lady and the Tramp]]'', who is the largest of Lady's inmates while she is still in the [[Pounds Are Animal Prisons|dog pound.]]
* The Trunkovs and Ivan from [[
* Moosk from ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'', one of the few adults whom Numbuh One befriends.
