* ''Series/TheBoys'' has [[BewareTheSuperman Homelander]] who besides being a nigh-unkillable FlyingBrick SmugSuper is also highly intelligent and calculating. Not only does he immediately deduce fowl play when Translucent goes missing before even uncovering the guy’s body stuffed in a trunk, he also uncovers most of the identities of The Boys near the end of the season. Homelander also has a great grasp of the laws of physics, carefully explaining to Queen Maeve why [[RequiredSecondaryPowers he can’t just carry]] the falling aircraft since he needs leverage for his SuperStrength [[note]]though keep in mind he had no interest in saving the passengers anyway[[/note]]. Subverted at other times where Homelander has let his insecurities and HairTriggerTemper get the better of him and even people with no superpowers have outsmarted him on occasion.

--->'''Sam:''' I ''am'' smart, and so are you. You're not a grunt, Dean, you're a genius--when it comes to lore, to--you're the best damn hunter I have ever seen. Better than me, better than Dad. I believe in you, Dean. So, please--please believe in me, too.

** Lt. Commander Data is also this trope, having the processing power of a supercomputer alongside strength that would make some superheroes jealous. {{Justified}} as he is an android specifically constructed with near-infinite memory storage and (literally) the strength of ten men. During his quest to be "human", he learned how to paint, dance, perform Shakespeare, play the violin, and play poker well enough to fleece a bunch of [[CardSharp card sharps]] when he got tossed back to 19th Century San Francisco. As for strength, he can effortlessly lift a person with one hand, instantly beat a Klingon in arm wrestling, go toe to toe with Borg drones, and pick up a large anvil with ease.

* ''Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined'': Lee "Apollo" Adama, one of the most famous Mr.Fanservices of the show, is very intelligent and is often put in situations wherein he has to use his brains rather than his muscles.

* Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke from ''{{Series/Arrow}}''. While his genius side isn't seen much in the flashbacks, it takes a [[SmarterThanYouLook certain]] kind of intelligence to [[TheChessmaster engineer his entire plot]] in the present, and to [[XanatosSpeedChess constantly adapt to changing scenarios]]. The [[LightningBruiser bruiser]] part is [[BadassinCharge pretty much self-explanatory]].
