* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Of a sort. Dexter tends to fail spectacularly at any form of physical activity, particularly sports...until the backdrop changes from "sports" to "Deedee let a giant monster out of the wormhole machine." Basically, he's an exaggerated stereotype of nerds are wimps up until science is involved. He can also go from ''deflecting lasers with his wrench like a Jedi'' to ''slap-fighting his rival'' and somehow manages to be in character both times. [[Rule of Funny]] is involved, but still.
