manlification

When an otherwise normal character (even a small creature such as a pokemon) is drawn with a very imposing, very manly face for comedic effect, often sporting huge muscles.

Characters depicted this way are often drawn in the style of manly series such as Hokuto No Ken, Jojo No Kimyou Na Bouken or Grappler Baki, or various specific characters (such as Gachimuchi actors or Dragon Ball Z's Broly), with only clothes or hairstyle as a sign of the original character.

Note that a character just being genderswapped into a muscular man or having extra muscles is not enough to qualify for this tag: posts falling into this tag must be obvious, outrageous parodies of the original copyright.
