When a character is '''primarily''' a [[Nerd]] (or possibly [[Geek]]), but still manages to pull off feats of [[Action Hero|Action Heroism]]ism, then he (or she) is a Nerd Action Hero.
 
Sometimes this is the result of [[Character Development]], where the character starts out as a [[Nerd]] but over time develops heroic skills. In other cases the character is a [[Hidden Badass]]
 
Sometimes a [['''Nerd Action Hero]]''' may be paired with an [[Action Girl]], and aforementioned [[Character Development]] may occur as a result of their interaction.
 
There is an overlap with [[Badass Bookworm]], but many of those are [[Badass]] first and bookworm only as a bonus. There can also be an overlap with [[Science Hero]], but a [['''Nerd Action Hero]]''' more tends to do ordinary [[Action Hero]] things (shooting, fighting, jumping, etc.) when the action starts.
