** Elan. The advantage? He's ''unbelievably'' GenreSavvy, such that he even sticks out in the NoFourthWall world of the comic. The catch? He's [[SpoonyBard a bard]] (and a poorly optimized one at that). Well, and a [[TooDumbToLive total moron]]. Then he [[TookALevelInBadass Took a Level in Dashing Swordsman ]] and started [[LetsGetDangerous taking the quest seriously]], so he's starting to balance out a tad.

** Celia may also count, more literally than the other examples. Most of the time she's a GranolaGirl whose fighting skills are negligible, and whose righteous ardor for [[FriendToAllLivingThings small woodland critters, as well as the sanctity of life in general]] borders on infuriating, but get her in front of a lawsuit, or two conflicting parties in need of a settlement, and she is hard and cold business right away.
*** She's more of a fairy wings lawyer.

* Rayne Summers from ''Webcomic/LeastICouldDo''. Marcy [=McKean=] - Rayne's boss and CEO of the company - puts up with his Red Bull addiction, childlike behaviour, and non-existant attention span because he is genuinely good at his job.

* ''Webcomic/{{Collar 6}}'': Sixx is the very successful owner of a chain of hotels, so no one really cares that she has a harem of hundreds of (willing) lesbian slave girls.

* A number of the characters in ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'' fall under this, from Math (lecherous but unspeakably talented martial artist), to Heatwave (capable of sublimating tanks, but dumb as a brick), to Sydney (has a suite of eight orbs that give her unique and strong powers along with comic book knowledge to apply those powers properly, but severe ADHD, trouble with authority, and overall a PR nightmare). This is explicitly justified; powers are rare enough that they can't pick and choose their team. As long as a super doesn't have an actual criminal record ([[BoxedCrook and possibly sometimes even then]]), they're invited to join, since it's better to have them on the team where they can be monitored and trained than off it where they can get into trouble.

** First off, Megaman himself. Before [[MadScientist Doctor Wily]] betrayed Doctor Light, he sabotaged Megaman's programing to make him an idiot so that Light would not have anything to face his [[KillerRobot Robot Masters]]; Doctor Light did his best to program him to fight the robot masters, but could only re-prioritize "To be an idiot" as his ''secondary'' mission. He is frightfully-effective at stopping Doctor Wily, but outside of that he's a huge moron obsessed with ice cream and drinking beer until he pukes - ''in spite'' of being a robot.
** Doctor Wily is one of the greatest experts on robotics in the world, his genius is only outmatched by his ego and insanity; robot masters are [[OneManArmy capabable of taking out entire armies]] with an arm tied behind their backs - ''each'' - and yet every last one of them has a... strange quirk that sends them straight into this trope. He also made [[EvilCounterpart Bass]] to be greater than Megaman in all aspects; Bass is stronger, faster, and an even bigger idiot.

* In ''Webcomic/OtakuDad'' Despite being an immature anime obsessed otaku in daily life it turns out that Jack is a savant who manages to turn a tidy profit on unlikely businesses

* When Mr. Mighty of ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes'' [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=171980 needs a lawyer]], he gets one who wears denim, rides a Harley, and looks like he escaped from the 1960's.

** Doctor Light is one of the few capable of matching Doctor Wily's genius, and his program for X is incredibly advanced even for those standards. He's a massive [[TheAlcoholic drunkard]] and BrilliantButLazy - in that he'd rather build an [[SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaid exceedingly-powerful robot to be his lab assistant]] rather than do the chores himself.

** Lalli, the Scout, is just plain weird. Basically, he acts as much as a cat as is possible without growing a tail, has huge problems with verbal communication and tends to sleep in strange places. He is also an extremely competent scout, capable of finding his way in unknown territory with no apparent effort, very good at reading non-verbal communication (in fact being able to have several meaningful conversations with Emil, in spite of them not having a word of any language in common) and a mage of frightening power. So far, he has shown himself to be able to spirit-walk, control the weather to some extent and combat hostile spirits in the waking world.

* Apparently, this is a requirement to be a [[DemolitionsExpert demoman]] in Tagon's Toughs in ''WebComic/SchlockMercenary''. Corporal "Pronto" Pontucci had rare moments of weirdness, but was basically intelligent, competent, and most of all, relatively sensible, aside from an odd tendency to use DuctTapeForEverything. His replacement, Lieutenant Shore "Pi" Pibald, is nutter than a pistachio plantation and several orders of magnitude more eccentric than Pronto ever was, on account of needing significant amounts of medication to come ''down'' to the level of calling himself "GodEmperor Pi the First." Pi might be every bit as irrational as his nickname suggests, what with being a paranoid schizophrenic megalomaniac, but he demonstrates a level of explosives knowledge and technique second only to [[OmnidisciplinaryScientist Kevyn]], and he has Kevyn beat for pure MadBomber tendencies--he's thus far the only person shown to have personally blown a hole ''through'' a [[TheBattlestar battleplate]] through a simple combination of having both an excessive amount of explosives and no self preservation instinct whatsoever.

** The Captain, Sigrun, is a BookDumb {{Motor Mouth}}ed GenkiGirl with strong BloodKnight tendencies, but has proven extremely capable as a leader, being able to effortlessly juggle TheStoic Mikkel, NewMeat Emil and just plain strange Lalli, [[AFatherToHisMen delegating, supporting and making the whole team feel useful.]] Also, when asked to pick a target for the team's first combat mission, she picks a the best target in a split second... namely the one that has the best fall-back options.
** Mikkel, TheMedic, has a dark deadpan sense of humor and a tendency to mercilessly troll everyone. However, he is also all-round competent, taking care of unglamorous stuff like decontamination, heavy lifting and cooking and is generally a much needed emotional anchor.
** Emil, the Cleanser, is [[NewMeat greener than grass in may]], a textbook SpoiledBrat and has the worst case of FootInMouthDisease since someone put a microphone in front of Prince Philip, but he knows his booms and from what we've seen so far his instincts and training are solid, and several of his interactions with Lalli and various kids show him to be quite a softie.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': oddly enough, the many variants of the Courtyard Droll, who is completely unprofessional, willingly dresses in the most ridiculous outfits possible (enormous and bizarre hat ''completely mandatory''), has a silly happy dance that he pulls out at the slightest opportunity, and hatches absurd plans involving things like wearing C4 on his head, smuggling a pumpkin full of knives into a prison cell, or constructing a bomb out of shaving cream...''which work''. Next to his boss, he was one of the quickest members of his gang to actually rack up a body-count.

* Danny Hua in ''{{Nukees}}'' is a sweet-tempered {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who [[LiteralGenie can't follow most basic metaphors]], is compulsively honest and has a phobia of speaking with contractions. He is also a brilliant nuclear engineer and one of the finest weapon designers in the world, being personally responsible for the creation of the Giant Robot Ant. There currently is a small contingent of groupies who have decided he is the Wise One for his incomprehensible, [[SeeminglyProfoundFool unintentionally profound-seeming]] speech quirks. He is also, according to author Darren Bleuel, based on a real friend of his, and there is a [[http://www.nukees.com/dannyquotes.html page full of quotes]] to prove it!

* Doug from ''FletcherApts.'' In high school, he was head of the Science Honor Society and #2 player in the chess club. In college, he's the vice president of the psychology club. Also, he's known for barfing easily and freaking out over female breasts.

* Rayne Summers from ''LeastICouldDo''. Marcy [=McKean=] - Rayne's boss and CEO of the company - puts up with his Red Bull addiction, childlike behaviour, and non-existant attention span because he is genuinely good at his job.

* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Hector]] in ''AntiheroForHire'', but it is later revealed that one of the people he's talking about is... [[DragonWithAnAgenda something quite different.]]
* When Mr. Mighty of ''EverydayHeroes'' [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=171980 needs a lawyer]], he gets one who wears denim, rides a Harley, and looks like he escaped from the 1960's.

* ''MSFHigh''. In an example that counteracts Doctor McNinja...the entire staff. The sanest people are the MadScientist who is addicted to coffee, and the [[VampiresAreSexGods Vampire with a harem]]. Name a staff member who is not certifiably insane, and frighteningly competant.
* Sarabeth Phoenix of ''WrightAsRayne'' is the fairly serious head of both a company and a criminal group, but is big on anime and dyes her hair blue.

* Gatemaster of ''SurvivorFanCharacters'' is a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who considers his alliance a group of 'friends', and is perhaps one of the most competent strategists in the game, managing the orchestrate (through a combination of blind luck and coincidence), the final four of his choosing. And he does this without even realising he ''is'' in charge.
* DubiousCompany's Walter. He is an MagiTek [[GadgeteerGenius engineering genius]], with some notable quirks. His self-built airship runs on [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum alcoholism]]. He's a [[TheCaptain good leader]], but learned pirating from [[AscendedFanboy comicbooks]]. An expert on [[AntiMagic magical]] [[AmplifierArtifact theory]], but bounces in and out of an [[TalkLikeAPirate uneducated accent]].

* Ekphobippe from ''Webcomic/{{Amazoness}}''. A fearsome ActionGirl with a long list of victories, she's also a clear parody of ''Manga/SailorMoon''. Her pink heart-shaped armor and InTheNameOfTheMoon speech is described as "the dumbest and most awesome strategy I've ever seen".

* Darkly subverted in ''Webcomic/{{Jack}}''. [[spoiler:Doctor Thalmus thinks that developing a cure for cancer entitles him to molest children, even going so far as to hold the cure hostage when Aurthor finds out. No one else seems to agree with his viewpoint.]]

* A truly astounding example: ''[[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja Dr. McNinja]]''. He's a doctor, and a ninja (and [[HighlyVisibleNinja constantly masked]], to boot). That alone should have been enough, as each profession is the bunny ears for the other. But he's also obsessed with ''Comicbook/{{Batman}}'', not to mention just about everything else about him.
** Dr. [=McNinja=] is self-employed. Judy, on the other hand, is a damn good receptionist who happens to be a gorilla.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': oddly enough, the many variants of the Courtyard Droll, who is completely unprofessional, willingly dresses in the most ridiculous outfits possible (ridiculous hat ''completely mandatory'', has a ridiculous happy dance that he pulls out at the slightest opportunity, and hatches completely absurd plans involving things like wearing C4 on his head, smuggling a pumpkin full of knives into a prison cell, or constructing a bomb out of shaving cream...''which work''.

* Othar Tryggvassen of ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' appears to be this. Despite his appearing mainly for comedic effect in the main strip, his adventures documented on his [[http://twitter.com/othar Twitter account]] as well as mention of him by pretty much every character other than Agatha are pretty clear on the fact that he's [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20121121 almost frighteningly competent.]]

* ''BladeBunny'' is a bunny ears assassin. She seems to be using [[ObfuscatingStupidity Obfuscating Bunnygirlness]] to put her targets off-guard. We hope.
