* ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'': Many of the officers of the Kingdom of Jin are the brightest strategists and shrewdest politicians of their generation, and they are firmly convinced it's their right to rule China because the other realms are headed by unimaginative and unworthy fools. What stops this from being misplaced arrogance is that by the time of their campaign many of the greatest officers of Shu and Wu were slain in battle or died of old age years ago, and their successors are clearly not of the same quality. And it is telling that canonically, Jin did ''win'' the War of the Three Kingdoms over Wu and Shu (through military conquest of the former, and politically outmaneuvering the latter).

** Princess Shuri has a moment in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' when she asks Bruce why he didn't find a simpler configuration for Vision's neural structure. Bruce, who is a gamma radiation physicist and not an engineer or neurologist, mentions that it didn't occur to him and Tony. Shuri sardonically says she's sure he tried his best.

* ''WebAnimation/EpithetErased'': Sylvie is, academically, a very clever guy, having a doctorate at age 15 that, despite some ambiguity relating to his stat card, WordOfGod consistently treats as legitimate. On the other hand, as a ''person'' he's such an obnoxious, entitled dork that it becomes very easy to understand [[FriendlessBackground how he got to 15 without making any friends at all]], to the point where he decides to stay behind in a museum after closing hours for no reason other than that he thinks he's better than regular museum-goers and as such shouldn't ''have'' to wait to see the Arsene Amulet. When [[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/702337926079692800/the-sequel-to-epithet-eraseds-first-season info cards]] were released as part of the leadup to ''Literature/EpithetErasedPrisonOfPlastic'' coming out, each character got a unique stat, such as [[HarmlessVillain Giovanni getting 1 for Pure Evil]]; Sylvie's unique stat is "Um, Actually," and it's simply listed as "MAX". He is, at least, a JerkWithAHeartOfGold version, proving to be a surprisingly loyal friend to Molly within about 20 minutes of their first encounter.
-->'''Sylvie:''' ''I'' am a highly trained epithet user who graduated college and became a psychologist at the age of 15! Like I'd ever cooperate with criminal scum like you!\\

* The last DC Comics story of ''ComicBook/ThePowerpuffGirls'', "Smart And Smarter" (Issue #59 of Cartoon Network Block Party) had Blossom being admitted to a school for exceptionally smart children. Of course, this goes to her head as after Bubbles draws a rainbow, Blossom details what causes rainbows in a condescending manner. When she starts ragging on Buttercup and Bubbles on their battle techniques against Mojo Jojo, breaking down every movement to a science, even Mojo has had enough and challenges Blossom. Eventually at the end, [[TeamRocketWins Mojo outwits Blossom]], with Bubbles' and Buttercup's blessings!
