A Brief Consideration Of Some Fictional Big Boys

Reacher is back, and in the first few episodes of Season 4 our enormous friend seems to be in fine form.

He's smooshing guys in libraries, escaping a CIA blacksite, and making sure a tiny kitten finds a good home.

While Reacher may be our current moment's most beloved answer to the question "What if a guy was really big?" he is by no means the only one.

Plenty of authors have explored the possibilities inherent in hugeness.

Fantasy writers in particular are enamored of this device.

So, if you are interested in meeting a few more fictional hulking men, here are some of my favorites.

Please note, I'm generally ignoring Romantasy protagonists (with one exception) as that list would be very long.

There are so many big men ravishing small women.

Honestly, it's better to just leave that whole dynamic alone.
