* After spending the second game in an uneasy alliance with Shepard, the Illusive Man becomes this in ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'', with Kai Leng acting as [[The Heavy]]. It's kind of like they split the role Saren had in the first game into two people - Shepard and the Illusive Man constantly try to talk the other around to their way of thinking, while Leng is an exclusively physical threat who {{spoiler|ends up on the wrong end of Shepard's omni-blade.}} |

* Dr Neo Cortex of the ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]'' series, he's a super genius and at least arms himself with a deadly laser gun, but he's also a weedy midget with a head almost bigger than his stick-like body. Granted [[Rule of Funny]] applies on occasion, in ''[[Crash Twinsanity]]'' he actually ''brawls with Crash toe to toe''. |

* Similar to ''Deception'', your character in ''[[Evil Genius]]'', much like the typical [[James Bond]] villain cannot fight enemies and has to leave most of the dirty work to minions. The sequel Downplays this, as you can fight and defend yourself, but making a habit of it is unadvisable. It's a [[Strategy Game]], after all. |
