Line 31:
* [[The Mighty Thor]] and his evil half-brother, Loki.
** Only in comparison to ''each other''. Loki is actually super-stong, durable, and able in combat by Earth standards. He's only weaker in that area by ''Asgardian'' standards, since the kids there are, by [[Word of God]], as strong as Spider-Man. And Thor is [[Guile Hero|not particurally slow on the uptake, either]], he's just surrounded by too many geniuses like Loki, [[Iron Man]], and Odin, for it to show.
* The prequel comic to ''[[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog]]'' reveals that this is the reason Billy decided to become a [[Villain Protagonist|supervillain]] in the first place. Another one also reveals that [[Smug Snake|Captain]] [[Dumb Muscle|Hammer]] has deeply anti-intellectual beliefs, telling kids that anyone who is "different", such as being good at math or science, is a potential supervillain and should [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop|be reported to the police]].
* Averted in ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]'': Ozymandias is reputed to be the smartest man in the world, but he's also more than a physical match for most other heroes. Dr. Manhattan, in turn, is the most powerful hero ''and'' a scientist too.
* M.O.D.O.K. and Captain America follow this trope as well. Although both are pretty smart, M.O.D.O.K. is essentially a living supercomputer. M.O.D.O.K. even mentions this trope in [[Marvel vs. Capcom 3|MvC3]].
* In ''[[Scott Pilgrim]]'', Scott isn't very bright but he is the "best fighter in the province" according to Kim. Gideon, on the other hand, is a genius inventor who cannot defeat Scott without stealing his sword or utilizing his technology.
* Granted everyone in ''[[The Tick (animation)|The Tick]]'' seems to have a few screws loose, but The Tick himself is most definitely Brawn=Good.
