* Hiccup in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' seems like an overthinking klutz of a Viking, but once he befriends Toothless and seriously studies Dragons, he is able to handle the species and use inventions with them in battle that leave his warrior contemporaries agape.

* Edna and Violet in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''. Edna is a no-nonsense fashion designer who uses all sorts of advanced sciences in designing custom costumes for superheroes. Violet reads a lot and writes in cursive. Her smarts also come in handy when fighting alongside her family, such as when she used her force field to escape the electrical bonds she was in, and easily deactivated her family's restraints.

* Besides her strength in geometry, Tip from ''WesternAnimation/{{Home}}'' also builds Rube Goldberg machines as her security systems (and they work).

* ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'':
** Most heroes are a bunch of science nerds who use their talents in various fields (Wasabi's laser-generated plasma, Gogo's mag-lev wheels, Honey's chemistry expertise, and Hiro's robotics know-how) to become superheroes. Although Fred could still qualify for this, as he is an English major at his college. The villain, being [[spoiler:a robotics professor who's implied to be a pioneer in the field]], could also qualify for this.
** Baymax is programmed with over ten-thousand medical procedures, with expansion slots for much more. And when he realizes that Hiro is suffering from Tadashi's loss, and he doesn't know how to treat his patient, he quickly downloads a database on treating someone who is suffering the loss of a loved one. The Badass part comes in when he is given programming on karate and a set of carbon fiber armor plates and wings and thrusters for flight.
* The title characters of ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman'': They are both focused on knowledge, yet they can be quite heroic.
* Dr. Jumba Jookiba from ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'' is smart enough to create an incredibly powerful genetic experiment, and strong enough to go toe to toe with said experiment in order to obtain amnesty for the crime of creating him. He did better against Stitch than a 20-foot tall whaleman who was an expert in combat.

* Outside of [[AscendedFanboy Fred]] and [[TeamPet Baymax]], the heroes of ''Disney/BigHero6'' are a bunch of science nerds who use their talents in various fields (Wasabi's laser-generated plasma, Gogo's mag-lev wheels, Honey's chemistry expertise, and Hiro's robotics know-how) to become superheroes.
