A very specific type of superpower. The character has the ability to change their size. Usually, this starts off one way, such as only being able to [[Incredible Shrinking Man|shrink]] or [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever|grow]]. Eventually, this starts to seem a little lame (unless the change comes with added [[Super Strength]], or other [[Required Secondary Powers]] in order to offset that pesky [[Square-Cube Law]]), and they probably end up being able to do both with an upgrade of some sort, or a [[Hand Wave]] about training.
 
Compare [[Make My Monster Grow]], where a character makes a monster grow to great heights.

* ''[[Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas]]'' has [[Big Bad|Eris, Goddess of Chaos]], able to shift between [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever|normal and absolutely massive with no problem]]. It seems to mostly be for the sake of intimidation and just because she can, as she favors [[Batman Gambit|manipulating people based on their flaws]] and sending the occasional minion over stomping on random things herself.
 
 
Line 79:
** [[Big Bad|Bowser]] had occasionally became a giant in some games, and [[Super Mario Galaxy|Rosalina]] actually has the ability to grow to the size of a planet!
** ''[[Wario Land]]'''s Wario, in symmetry with his redder counterpart -- but he also loses most of his hair when he shrinks.
* ''[[Touhou]]'': Suika Ibuki's most famous use of her density manipulation comes in the form of her 'Missing Purple Power' spellcard, which causes her to roughly triple her size. [[Fanon]] depictions sometimes show her becoming a literal [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever|50-foot oni]] and beyond. What makes this even more noticeable is the fact that Suika is one of the shortest characters in the series at normal size. She also has the shrinking variation: She can generate mini-Suikas which are roughly 3 inches tall.
* In ''Super [[Pac-Man]]'', Pac-Man could eat a Super dot and temporarily become enormous. The super-sized Pac-Man was much faster and could pass through locked doors and ghosts without a problem.
* In [[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]], the title headgear enables Link to shrink down to mouse-size.
