* One mission in ''VideoGame/OsuTatakaeOuendan2'' involves helping a young genius doctor who moves to a small island town, only to be swamped with all manner of requests for help from the citizens. It seems that in addition to being a physician, he can also treat male pattern baldness, give therapeutic massages to animals, and repair microwave ovens. That's the whole joke, because he's doing [[OpenHeartDentistry non-doctor things]].

* In ''Franchise/MetalGear'' every scientist is this, especially Naomi, which is not only capable of creating a complex virus that targeted specific individuals, but also multipurpose nanomachines, both of which she injected Snake with at the beginning of ''Metal Gear Solid''; In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' she also shows great understanding of computers, being capable of creating an encrypted file that only Sunny was able to decrypt.

* In ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'', Dr. Catherine E. Halsey, Chief Scientist of the Office of Naval Intelligence, was the key mind behind all aspects of the [[SuperSoldier Spartan-II]] project, from the [[BioAugmentation augmentations]] to the [[PoweredArmor MJOLNIR armor]], and was also a major authority on {{Artificial Intelligence}}s, among other things overseeing the creation of the [=AI=]s who were to be uploaded to the Spartan's MJOLNIR armor (most notably Cortana, who was directly copied from a clone of Halsey's brain). She was also heavily involved in researching both [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Covenant]] and [[PreCursors Forerunner]] technology.
