* Sokka from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' doubles as a BadassBookworm as he accumulates CharacterDevelopment. He also averts the 'no romance' part of the trope; throughout the series, he's had two girlfriends (Yue and Suki), [[PerkyFemaleMinion Ty Lee]] flirts with him on a few occasions, and [[LittleMissBadass Toph]] secretly harbors a crush on him. Sokka also manages to be both the smart guy and the {{plucky comic relief}}.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' has Mako (who doubles as TheLancer) as the street-smart and strategic one, and Asami as a GadgeteerGenius who can fix, drive or fly seemingly anything. Together, they're the ones who are the brains of Korra's team.

* Sypha Belnades in ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'' overlapping with TheHeart and team mage, she’s extremely book smart and figures out how to control Dracula’s castle. Alucard is almost as smart as Sypha being very well read making a him a GeniusBruiser, both Sypha and Alucard make Trevor Belmont look like DumbMuscle in comparison despite his [[TheLeader leadership skills]].

%% * Franchise/{{Batman}} in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' is, as in the comics, a mix of this and TheLancer. [[ComicBook/MartianManhunter J'onn]][[TheSpock J'onzz]] is a purer example.
* Tech from ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheBadBatch'' is this and BadassBookworm.



* Buckwheat on ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleRascals'' is a GadgeteerGenius, in one of several departures from the ''Our Gang'' theatrical shorts.



* Tanya of ''WesternAnimation/MightyDucksTheAnimatedSeries'' is the resident GadgeteerGenius and overall tech expert, although [[BadassBookworm she's no weakling on the battlefield or the hockey rink]]. She tends to stutter and lisp a bit, since her brain is moving faster than she can speak.



* Gus from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' is this to [[FiveManBand the Hexsquad]]. He's repeatedly described as a ChildProdigy due to his incredible affinity for illusion magic, and while [[TheLancer Hunter]] is generally more book-smart, Gus has an ''incredible'' eye for detail and performs AwesomenessByAnalysis ''constantly''. Due to being moved up a few grades, he's the youngest of his friend group at 12 years old (Luz, Amity and Willow are 14, Hunter is 16), and because his illusions are intangible, he mostly focuses on distracting or confusing the enemy (i.e. creating illusory duplicates of himself and his friends, casting darkness across the battlefield, making the enemy relive their most traumatic memories) while his friends do the heavy hitting.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'', Kowalski is both TheLancer to Skipper, and the smart guy. While not short, he is notably the slimmest of all the penguins, and their TechnicalPacifist. He's notably the MadScientist and GadgeteerGenius types.
* Blossom and Professor Utonium on ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' both show some moxie in the intelligence department, but they will often get Flanderized (Blossom as egocentric, the Professor as a haplessly overconcerned parent) to keep them from being too one-dimensional.
* Sean from ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'', who is a ChildProdigy and the smartest one of the group, sometimes acting as the VoiceOfReason.
* Egon Spengler in ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'': All the characters are very intelligent, after all, they are all scientists,[[note]] or more exactly: Peter is a social scientist as he’s a psychologist, Ray is never specified but is implied that he’s a physicist like Egon but his main usage is as TheEngineer, Winston does not have any college title but is an expert in mechanics, has military training and is very versatile in non-scientific endevours, so even when not all are officially scientists (unless you count that they all are technically parapsychologists), they all are very intelligent[[/note]] but Egon is so intelligent that he makes the other characters look dumb in comparison. In the SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeGhostbusters'' the role lands in Roland.



* Mr. Hal Gibson from ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo''. He's the team's resident scientist and genius.



* Wildcat in ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' is an exceptionally good mechanic and plane engineer, albeit a little crazy. Some could say that Rebecca is also the "Smart Girl" of the show as she's the more grounded, but at the same time some of her GetRichQuickScheme do not work.

%% * Lisa Simpson in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Marge as well, in a few cases, but she is just a bit too oblivious to what constitutes as normal human behavior to do any discrediting.
%% * ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'': Sally, Uncle Chuck and Rotor take up this role, mostly Sally though. Sal also qualifies as TheLeader.

** Her EvilCounterpart, Sunset Shimmer, is only implied to also be one in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'', with her being Twilight's predecessor as Princess Celestia's student and her rubbing that fact in Twilight's face. Post Her status as this is only made apparent after her redemption movies, shorts in the first movie, and books show that she indeed is one, but she's far shown to be more of a [[TaughtByExperience hands-on learner]] compared in order to contrast with the generally more [[ButIReadABookAboutIt bookish and theoretical]] Twilight.

* Tanya of ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyDucks'' is the resident GadgeteerGenius and overall tech expert, although [[BadassBookworm she's no weakling on the battlefield or the hockey rink]]. She tends to stutter and lisp a bit, since her brain is moving faster than she can speak.
