* Connor Temple from {{Primeval}}. One hell of a geek, but managed to carry Cutter, who is at least as tall as him, maybe taller, out of a collapsing building. If you ever see him sleveless, you'll see why.

* [[{{Leverage}} Hardison]] is pretty fit for a guy who spends days at a time staring a computer screen. Even before the team formed and he had to do more physical stuff he was only lanky not out of shape.

Pothole correction in my own 4 Gregs example: It\'s a Stick Figure Animation.


* Open Source Greg of [[TeenGirlSquad 4 Gregs]] is fat. The other 3 are skinny-ish, but in a [[StickFigureComic Stick Figure Cartoon]] that's nothing unusual.

* Arguably, [[HotScientist Verde]], [[NerdsAreSexy Shouichi]], and Spanner, from KatekyouHitmanReborn. All three are rail-thin (especially Verde), and painfully intelligent (especially Verde) in their respective fields (Science for Verde, mechanics for Shou, and robotics for Spanner). The three of them hardly ever leave their labs (once again, especially Verde).

* Justin from ''ElGoonishShive'' works at a comic shop, and has pretty much the personality you would expect considering his workplace. Catalina's remark upon seeing him is [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2010-04-16 "Holy crap! Aren't comic book guys supposed to be grapefruit shaped?"]]

* In Cory Doctorow's ''[[http://baens-universe.com/articles/When_Sysadmins_Ruled_the_Earth When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth]]'', a major character is a "type-two sysadmin, over six feet tall, long pony-tail, bobbing Adam's apple. Over his toast-rack chest, his tee said CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON and featured a row of polyhedral RPG dice."

* Roy, form The IT Crowd. He is tall,oafish and slightly pudgy in the middle. His attire could be described as geek-chic, though somewhat boyish,and is shown to be socially confident to a fault. In fact, his love life cases him trouble on more than one occasion. Moss, however, is an example played hilariously straight.
