Line 1: {{trope}} '''Basic Trope''': A character who looks like [[The Big Guy]] reveals himself to be [[The Smart Guy\|exceptionally intelligent]] as well. * '''Straight''': [[The Big Guy\|Pike]] wears armor, fights skilfully with [[Blade Onon a Stick\|a polearm]], and is taller than [[The Hero]], but prefers to read philosophy and learn about science off the battlefield. * '''Exaggerated''': Pike is a twenty foot tall stone Golem and the nation's leading expert in microbiology. * '''Justified''': Line 9: [[Badass Bookworm\|Pike looks like your typical smart guy, but under all that scrawniness, he's quite the muscle]] Alternatively: Pike has his talents, but he's neither very smart nor particularly strong. * '''Subverted''': Once the gang realizes Pike is a [[Know -Nothing Know -It -All]], they regard him as [[Dumb Muscle]]. * '''Double Subverted''': Until Pike's field of expertise is needed and his intelligence saves the day. * '''Parodied''': Pike is an eight foot tall wall of muscle as well as an expert in several fields including [[Real Men Wear Pink\|ballet, wine tasting, and interior decorating.]] Pike is an [[Absent -Minded Professor]] who [[Does Not Know His Own Strength]]. Needless to say, his attempts at a Small Hadron Collider turn out poorly. * '''Deconstructed''': Pike spends so much time training his mind and body that he has no friends and is too busy to really aid the heroes or affect the plot. * '''Reconstructed''': Until he realizes that not using his talents to help others is as good, builds an [[Impossibly Cool Weapon]], and joins the [[True Companions]]. * '''Zig Zagged''': Pike's level of intelligence is portrayed inconsistently [[Depending Onon the Writer]]. In some episodes, he can fix a downed spaceship [[Memetic Mutation\|in a Cave. WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS.]] In others, he punches down doors because he can't figure out the handle. * '''Averted''': ** [[Dumb Muscle]]
