  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Basic Trope: Someone (usually a Villain) lifts someone else (usually a stunned or unconscious hero over his head.

  • Straight: Major Mayhem grabs Zack and lifts him over his head in a threatening display of strength.
  • Exaggerated: Major Mayhem lifts Zack with one hand.
  • Justified: Major Mayhem most likely has Super Strength, or maybe Zack is just a lightweight Kid Hero.
  • Inverted: Zack lifts Major Mayhem above his head.
  • Subverted: Mayhem has Zack cornered and wounded in front of a ledge on a high building. Despite this being an ideal time to show off his strength and finish off Zack, he doesn't..
  • Double Subverted:..Until Zack throws a punch, which Mayhem catches and pulls him in to an overhead lift.
  • Parodied: At first, we see Zack desperately struggling in someone's grasp who has lifted him over their head. Then the camera zooms out to show that his pissed-off girlfriend is the one doing the lifting.
  • Deconstructed: Zack is easily able to strike at Mayhem while he's being lifted.
  • Reconstructed: Which is why Mayhem makes a point of knocking him out before picking him up.
