The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius: Difference between revisions

It follows the life of Barry Ween - the world's smartest human, a ten-year-old [[Gadgeteer Genius]] who hides his intellect from the rest of the world - and his friend Jeremy Ramirez, a hyperactive and sex-obsessed, but overall rather normal, boy of the same age who's the only one to know Barry's secret.

=== ''The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius'' provides examples of: ===

* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Barry has demonstrated to know enough anatomy to put most opponents out with a single finger. Just imagine what happens whenever he pulls out a weapon (of which he invented a lot).

** Winick never got around to discussing it in the actual comics, but if you read the single issues' letter columns, he discusses occasionally that part of Barry's super-intelligence is the ability to tap into his body's physical potential via biofeedback and other methods. Thus, when Barry has to, he goes flipping around the landscape like Spider-Man on a crack bender.

* [[Child Prodigy]]

* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: The series started out completely devoted to humor. A late story where he traveled to another world was significantly more serious.
