* [[TabletopGame/{{Chess}} The Queen]], anyone?
** Although somewhat evened out in Battle Chess. The queen gets magic whilst the king... [[{{Hammerspace}} pulls out a bazooka from his robes.]] Among other standard comedy trope weaponry.
* Commissar ''Literature/CiaphasCain'''s aide, Gunner Ferik Jurgen, probably qualifies somewhat. Cain himself isn't so much incompetent as merely lazy, fobbing off most of the boring office work onto his aide unless his personal involvement is absolutely necessary. Also the BattleButler -- Ciaphas is annoyed that none of the official histories mention Jurgen's part in his numerous victories.
* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' can let you do this with the Leadership feat. It gives you a "cohort" who is a couple levels lower than you, and acts as a sidekick. However, thanks to CharacterTiers, it's perfectly possible for this character to be significantly more powerful than his higher-leveled "boss". A [[LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards fighter with a wizard cohort is almost certainly overshadowed by mid-levels]].

* Between [[EvilDuo Korg and Zet]] of ''TabletopGame/MagiNation'', Zet is by far the more intelligent and capable of the two, both in the animated series and in the game. However, for some reason Korg is Zet's superior; Korg's poor planning in both mediums results in much suffering for Zet. In the game at least, when Zet is finally alone, he not only proves to be smarter, but also much, much stronger.
