Smash Mook
The Smash Mook is the most single-minded enemy in the history of gaming (either Tabletop or Video Games). All it does is direct attacks without any real strategy. You can expect few, if any, fancy tricks when fighting it. It may be a major threat, or a minor one, but they all fight the same way, smashing, smashing, and more smashing.
What sets these apart from most enemies, whether regular enemies,
Greatness Mistaken For Failure
A character isn't just talented, they're too talented – so skilled that their abilities actually make them look inept. They're seen as mediocre or even utterly incompetent, simply because their brilliance defies comprehension.
How can this happen? Maybe the character refuses to do things the standard way, and thus is perceived as incompetent, even if their way gives better results. Maybe they're subjected to an exam, but end up with a failing grade because their genius-level knowledge doesn't fit into the standardized answer key. Or maybe any attempts at measuring their skills fail, because the in-universe ranking systems, skill tests, power meters, etc. aren't built to handle their might. Power meters either
