* A story arc in ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' introduces Tilly, who is trying ''way'' to hard to be this to Hannelore. Tilly seems to actually ''be'' hypercompetent, the problem is they're trying to prove themself to someone who ''doesn't actually want or need an assistant'', and won't always take "I don't need you to do this" for an answer. They eventually become assistant to Hanners's dad, an AbsentMindedProfessor who needs an assistant who is "utterly relentless".

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' has one in the form of the reluctant Moloch von Zinzer, who will be very quick to point out that he is ''not'' Agatha's alpha minion while he's not busy leading the rest of the minions and mad scientists currently working for Agatha. Granted, he's only helping repair Mechanicsburg's defenses [[EnlightenedSelfInterest so that he can live long enough to get the hell out of there]], but when he steps up to lead a roving band of heroic repairmen halfway around and under the city in the middle of a siege, no one dares question his command. He's so competent that even Sanaa, a fellow ex-prisoner he had an [[EveryoneCanSeeIt obvious crush]] on, begins to take interest in him.
