* [[Doctor Doom]] is a pro at this trope. Unlike his contemporary and rival, [[Fantastic Four|Reed Richards]], Doom has a thorough understanding of not just earthly sciences, but magic as well, due to his mother having been a witch. He's actually used this advantage on a number of occasions to one-up Reed (and most of the [[Marvel Universe]] at various points), although the inherent weaknesses of magic (usually, bartering/stealing the energy from a higher power) typically come to bite Doom in the backside.
** Doom also blends magic and technology. For example, he use the sensors of his armor to copy the exact hand movements of spells when he sees them cast for the first time, and his gloves can automatically guide his hands through them. Thus allowing him to [[Mega Manning|copy other wizards' spells]] far more quickly than it would normally take to master them.
* [[Green Lantern|Hal Jordan]] in the early [[Silver Age]] run of his book did quite a bit of this to discover the exact limits and potential drawbacks of his [[Green Lantern Ring]]. And the tests themselves often kicked off the events of a story.
