** Sokka from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' doubles as a BadassBookworm as he accumulates CharacterDevelopment. He also averts the 'no romance' part of the trope; throughout the series, he's had two girlfriends (Yue and Suki), [[PerkyFemaleMinion Ty Lee]] flirts with him on a few occasions, and [[LittleMissBadass Toph]] secretly harbors a crush on him. Sokka also manages to be both the smart guy and the {{plucky comic relief}}.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' has Mako (who doubles as TheLancer) as the StreetSmart and strategic one, and Asami as a GadgeteerGenius who can fix, drive or fly seemingly anything. Together, they're the ones who are the brains of Korra's team.

* Twilight Sparkle takes the role in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', though it's subverted more often than not due to [[ButIReadABookAboutIt her lack of real world experience]]. She's certainly capable of some AwesomenessByAnalysis however, along with some hardcore exposition.
** Her EvilCounterpart, Sunset Shimmer, is only implied to also be one in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'', with her being Twilight's predecessor as Princess Celestia's student and her rubbing that fact in Twilight's face. Her status as this is only made apparent after her redemption in the first movie, and she's shown to be more of a [[TaughtByExperience hands-on learner]]. Her expertise in magic is also emphasized in order to contrast with the science-focused GadgeteerGenius that is the human world's native Twilight.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'':
** Cyborg is a GeniusBruiser, and normally can work out with machinery to help out during fights.
** Raven has elements of this, too, despite primarily being TheLancer. Of course, Cyborg also sometimes fills the role of TheLancer despite primarily being TheSmartGuy, so it all evens out.
** Robin, being TheStrategist and Batman's apprentice, can fill this role as well, especially when assessing new threats or being [[MrExposition Mr. Exposition]].
