* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has a number of geniuses, who rotate through their areas of expertise.
** Loki tends to take anything magic or politics related, though in the former regard he's superseded by Doctor Strange (who may not have forgotten more about magic than anyone else has ever learned, but only if he ever actually forgets anything).
** Tony takes anything tech related, while Bruce is more expert on super soldier stuff, biochemistry, and radiation.
** Natasha is the espionage genius.
** Dumbledore is the magical world's resident genius, and something of a hobbyist polymath.
** Jane is the astrophysics genius, with her home-made stargates.
** Doctor Strange, meanwhile, is an ImmortalGenius who started out as a brilliant medic, sorcerer, and Mozart-plus musical prodigy, and has spent the intervening millennia becoming an expert in almost everything (in some very specific fields, similar immortals are more knowledgeable than he is.

He nearly graduated from college when he was nineteen and is an eloquent speaker with an eidetic memory, a wide range of arcane knowledge, and keen social insight. That being said, he is also far more dangerous and unstable than Beckmann]].

Removing trope misuse. No-one on Team RWBY plays The Smart Guy role. Blake likes books, and knowing about the history of Faunus-Human conflict is just foreshadowing she's an ex-White Fang member. The academic one is Weiss, but she doesn't play The Smart Guy role either.

Pretty much every actual ''strategy'' mentioned in relation to UsefulNotes/TheTrojanWar starts with him, including (ironically) both one of the reasons for the war (the Achaean kings agreeing to protect whoever married Helen, to keep them from fighting over her) and the reason it ends (the TrojanHorse, of course). Naturally, Athena favors him and helps him out a lot (against the wishes of her uncle Poseidon, whom he had somehow offended).
