Line 28:
* [[Teen Genius]] Amadeus Cho from ''[[Incredible Hercules]]'' can do advanced physics in his head, complete with glowing diagrams around him. He's claimed to be good enough that he can use math to stop a charging rhino with a grape seed, and proved it when he fought [[Incredible Hulk|the freaking Hulk]].
* ''[[Superman: Red Son]]'' establishes that Lex Luthor is a super-genius scientist at STAR Labs. This isn't really surprising, but this trope comes in when he casually hands his OSS handler a formula to balance the economy. However, he says it's just the principles, and the Treasury will have to do the number-crunching for the specifics.
== Fan Works ==
* Hermione Granger in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fic ''[[The Arithmancer]]'' and its sequels is a math prodigy and instant calculator who's already taking college-level math courses when she enters Hogwarts at age 11. She tests into Arithmancy in her first year, and things start diverging from canon rather dramatically from the start.
