* Terry McGinnis in ''[[
** Of course, it just led to the Joker {{spoiler|introducing [[Escalating War|HAND GRENADES]] to their fight. And then Terry uses the Joker's own joybuzzer on him to short out the microchip, so it all balances out}}.
* In one of their encounters in the ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' CG movies, Snake Eyes defeated Storm Shadow by pulling the pins off the grenades he was wearing across his chest.
** He also dispatched a Red Ninja in the comic by tossing a grenade at him; [[Larry Hama]] did the scene as a homage to the Indiana Jones Cairo swordsman scene.
* ''[[
** the Season 3 episode, "Sokka's Master" has [[Badass Normal|Sokka]] learn sword fighting from a [[Master Swordsman]]. He's be praised by the teacher for his resourcefulness (e.g. taking advantage of his greater agility compared to someone who is older, attacking from higher ground, pulling bamboo shoots so they'll fly back and distract his opponent, throwing sand in his eyes).
** Princess Azula gleefully pulls [[I Surrender, Suckers|false surrenders]] on, ambushes, [[Transformation Is a Free Action|interrupts]], and gangs up on her enemies. Because of this, she's the only person who {{spoiler|fought the Avatar in Avatar State and won, hitting Aang with a lightning bolt in the back as he [[Transformation Is a Free Action|completed the power up]].}}
** [[The Legend of Korra
*** A specific example, when Korra challenges Amon to a fight, she expects him to come alone as she did. Instead, he waits for her to start to leave when it appears that he's not coming and than has a few dozen of his [[Elite Mooks|chi-blockers]] ambush her from the darkness with bola whips and subdue her in seconds. [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|The only reason he doesn't just beat her right there is that he doesn't want to turn her into a martyr.]]
* Rattrap from ''[[Transformers]]: [[
{{quote| '''Rattrap:''' You fight with a rat... ([[A Handful for An Eye|kicks sand into Waspinator's eyes]]) ...you better fight dirty.}}
** He also [[Groin Attack|knees Waspinator square in the gearbox.]]
* Starscream from ''[[
** Soundwave also qualifies. Though he isn't as underhanded as Starscream (as far as we know,) he is [[Genre Savvy]] and ''very'' pragmatic, always looking for the simplest and most effective solution to a problem. He has no problems with {{spoiler|[[Kick Them While They Are Down|sending Laserbeak to attack a weakened Airachnid]]}}.
* Of the three main characters in ''[[
* An early episode of ''[[The Simpsons (
* Sasha of ''[[
* The karate instructor in this ''[[
* The [[Big Bad|Shredder]] in ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003
* In the Season 1 episode of ''[[Justice League (
** [[The Question]] in ''[[Justice League (
* ''[[Jonny Quest:
** In the Season 2 episode, "Thoughtscape", Lorenzo and some of Surd's [[Mook|mooks]] break into the Quest compound and capture Race and Hadji while Jonny, Jesse, and Benton are trapped in Quest World. While tied up, Race says to Lorenzo, "Too bad you don't have the guts to face me man to man", however, Lorenzo [[Genre Savvy|knows better]] and doesn't let it bruise his ego, instead just firing back an insult of his own.
* Many of the villains in ''[[Teen Titans (
* ''[[Batman:
* In ''[[
