** Dr Green, the scientist Duff Killigan [[KidnappedScientist kidnaps]] in [[Recap/KimPossibleS1E7NumberOne "Number One"]], [[ZigZaggingTrope plays it both ways]]. His actual career was in ballistic missile systems, which turns out to be irrelevant, because it's become obsolete and classified in the decades since. What Killigan actually wanted was his plant super-growth formula, as after retirement Dr. Green apparently dabbled with superscience in a totally different field ''as a hobby''.

* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'':

** Played straight with Doctor Drakken. While attended college (without graduating) specializing in physics and robotics, he became a MadScientist, which is an anything-goes doctrine. He dabbles in chemistry, mindswapping, radical geology and any number of other fields. His actual plans can be awful, but his science is quite brilliant, even if he steals a lot of his inventions. The series does seem to imply there's a difference between real science, which is specialised and predictable, and mad science, which can do anything but is likely to blow up in your face.
** His arch-rival Professor Dementor seems to be more of a straight physicist, but that may be due more to his relative lack of screen time. Ironically, unlike the {{polymath}} Drakken, he is very competent and fairly successful, to the point that Drakken often steals from him (or at least tries to).

** ComicBook/{{Shuri}} from ''Film/BlackPanther2018'' continues this tradition. She builds devices that can force engines to stall, bullet-proof armor that compacts into a small tribal necklace, magnetic suspension trains, communicators that work across the entire planet without any latency, shoes that completely negate all sound, and repairs Ross's spine while she's at it. In ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', she also criticizes Bruce's and Tony's work on Vision, pointing out how the Mind Stone could've been connected more efficiently. (Note also that Shuri is still a teenager, meaning she mastered all these disciplines in substantially less time than any of the other MCU geniuses.)

* Creator/{{Aristotle}} knew everything there was to know in his time. He proved the Earth was round, catalogued every known animal (along the way, he was the first to differentiate whales from fish), advanced all natural sciences, organized legal knowledge, and made art commentaries that are still quoted in colleges (particularly his problems with "Deus Machina" endings), and the list goes on... He wrote the book on every discipline of his time and made new advancements in almost every one of them.
