* On HBO's Series/{{Peacemaker}} Vigilante is socially awkward, dorky, has some very odd beliefs about friendship and mask etiquette and works as a busboy at a chain restaurant. But drop him in the middle of a prison and he'll take out three to four members of the Aryan Brotherhood with ease and will only stop when guards rush in to hold him at gunpoint.
Added DiffLines:
*Series/TheShield Dutch Wagenbach, sad-sack, butt-monkey, perpetual loser, take your pick of the terms, they all fit. But when a prisoner tries to toss a friend off his off of a balcony he goes in to a rage so fierce that even Vic Mackey has an [[OhCrap Oh Crap]] moment and has to pull him off.

* ''Series/AshesToAshes2008'': WPC Shaz Granger is hardly a moron, she's just sweet and isn't as badass as the rest of CID. It's kind of hard when you're a plonk in your mid-twenties, trying to live up to the examples of Gene Hunt and Alex Drake. Even Ray and Chris are pretty badass, holding their own in gunfights and having multiple BigDamnHeroes moments - Shaz doesn't even ''carry'' a gun. And then 2.08 hits, where [[spoiler: a bent copper is holding Chris hostage, about to shoot him. A gunshot sounds, and it's Shaz, holding a smoking gun and wearing her wedding dress. To cap it all off, she quips "How you doing, baby?" to Chris.]]
* ''Series/BabylonFive''
** Vir is introduced as a timid and shy comic relief, used to being pushed around by his boss Londo. However as the show goes on he gradually shows more and more backbone, first by not backing from a huge monster (a hologram, but he didn't know that) when sent to deliver a message to technomages, then by telling off an emissary of {{Eldritch Abomination}}s in the most awesome way, and finally by retorting to an insult and a spying attempt by borrowing Londo's duel sword and trashing the offender's stall and forcing him to confess at swordpoint.

There's also the time when he invented Abrahamo Lincolni and created an underground railroad to transport Narns to safety. This while his government was fighting an extermination war against the Narns. Considering how insane the emperor was, it's likely that Vir would have been killed if anyone had found out about it.

*** Londo Mollari, Vir's boss, also has this trope in spades. Originally portrayed as a [[LargeHam hammy]] UpperClassTwit and unabashed [[TheHedonist hedonist]] who made no bones about considering Babylon 5 [[ReassignedToAntarctica his own personal Antarctica]], he is also a surprisingly deft politician and negotiator, master poisoner, decorated fighter pilot and perfectly capable duelist (whose dueling society nickname was "Fights Like A Madman", no less).
