History GeniusBruiser / WesternAnimation

* Ed from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' is a [[{{ManipulativeBastard}} skilled manipulator]] and has a wide knowledge of pop culture. He’s also strong enough to tear a stump out of the ground.

* Helga From ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' is already fairly known among her classmates as a formidable bully. She's also a talented writer/poet, and quite intelligent for her age. An unusual case in that she's just a bully who happens to be a genius, as opposed to antagonistic Genius Bruisers from more action-oriented media.

* Zaheer from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' is a powerful and seasoned fighter who looks the part, but also a poetic and spiritually knowledgable man who knows a good deal about the avatar and the world. Made more obvious by the fact that he's voiced by RealLife genius bruiser Music/HenryRollins.
** Amon/Noatak, as well. Really good public speaker, social leader, and [[TheChessmaster master strategist]]; expert chi-blocker, prodigy waterbender and psychic bloodbender.
** Kuvira, too. Manipulative, charismatic, incredibly intelligent, and has [[DarkActionGirl all the skills]] to back it up.

** King Sombra and Lord Tirek are villainous examples. Sombra may come across as a simple GenericDoomsdayVillain and MightyGlacier... but he turns out to be more CrazyPrepared than any other villain in the series. Likewise, Tirek may be TheBrute most of the time... but he turns out to be surprisingly nifty at {{Manipulative Bastard}}ry and/or XanatosSpeedChess whenever simple force doesn't work.

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': Catra, though you can't tell at the first sight. She is short and slender, but is also strong enough to fight She-Ra herself in hand-to-hand combat and [[spoiler: dismantle Hordak’s cannon with a kick.]] She is also a good strategist and has a sharp eye for the enemies’ weak points.
** Horde Prime is taller and brawnier than his clones, who are already big for the Etherian standards. He’s also a manipulative demon that frequently anticipates his enemies’ moves.

* Garnet of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' is not only by far the strongest of the Crystal Gems, but she's also the savviest and always knows what to do next thanks to her {{Seer|s}} powers. Lampshaded by Steven in "Keeping it Together":

** Slade, who has more than enough combat skill and strength to take on the team 5-to-1 and keep up, and more than enough brainpower to stay on top in terms of gambits throughout the entire show. He rarely needs to directly intervene, but whenever a lot of violence is required, he's happy to do it himself.

* B from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' is shown to be both quite athletic and an excellent engineer. [[spoiler:It was fairly obvious that [[BigBad Scott]] had to get him eliminated early.]]

* Winsor from ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey''.

* Ed from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddnEddy'' is a [[{{ManipulativeBastard}} skilled manipulator]] and has a wide knowledge of pop culture. He’s also strong enough to tear a stump out of the ground.
