I want to remove most of the Star Trek examples, more because they qualify for Badass Bookworm. Genius Bruiser implies a tough looking guy that is incredibly smart. These guys, while highly intelligent and capable fighters, don't have the build for them to qualify for the "bruiser" part.

Can a character qualify for this Trope if he's streetsmart rather than booksmart? I've always got the impression that this trope implies that the character has to be an intellectual on top of being Bad Ass but I'm not sure. Would like some opinions.
