* Although Shouta Aizawa from ''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia'' isn't as immune to acting on emotion as he wants everyone to think, he displays shades of his. He prioritizes logic and reason and rational thinking. He's fond of "logical ruses" with the students and even when he was shot with a quirk-erasing bullet, his reaction was completely logic-driven: Self-amputate the leg to try and save his quirk.

Faced with a [[TheMcCoy McCoy]] (like Claudia rebellion in Ken, he chooses to quell it with force rather than to discuss terms with the rebels (it doesn't help that they are supporters of an ArmyOfThievesAndWhores). When playing the role of flag officer, he puts emphasis on mapping out plans large and small, maintaining discipline and achieving results. Not glory or Alicia) "fighting with your heart and soul".

After dealing with an ambush in Chapter 2, Kyril's decision is to tell the others to stop grieving for their dead[[note]]his reasoning being that i) the orcs will return soon, so if they keep staying, they all die, and ii) the dead are dead anyway and nothing will change that[[/note]], take the reins, and continue on heading to the desired destination. In later chapters, he emphasises the importance of getting the job done, rather than saying things like "I believe in my heart" or "I don't want these people to suffer" or "it's the right thing to do". Even though he gains allies due to a lingering GoodSamaritan instinct that he thought he had lost, he has not forgotten about weighing his options[[note]]For example, he believes his allies may have a part to play in the uncertain times ahead, so he sees the act of abandoning them a wasteful action. This differs from something like "I won't leave them no matter what! It's wrong / They are my friends!"[[/note]].

* ''Literature/TheIrregularatMagicHighSchool'' has protagonist Tatsuya Shiba as a [[GeniusBruiser stoic master of battle tactics, magic, martial arts and engineering]]. He was designed to be this even before he was born as the result of a very large scale eugenics program conducted by his family. This is necessary considering his magic can [[ReducedtoDust literally disassemble and reassemble matter]], leading to his emotions getting neutered and his relegation to serving as a bodyguard for his genetically altered sister, Miyuki.

* Cyclops of the ''ComicBook/X-Men'' is mostly this as the team's field commander. He's an experienced leader who makes reasonable decisions in a fight. As time has passed though, he's gradually become more ruthless and has his moments where his stoic facade cracks to show the traumatized man benetah.

Rogal Dorn and his Imperial Fists also fall under here as stoic, disciplined masters of siege tactics and defensive fighting. Still, some of his actions post-Heresy were very much [[NotSoAboveItAll emotionally motivated]] and [[HiddenDepths colored by his deep seated idealism]].
