* ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'': Protagonist Roark "Rocky" Rickaby is an erratic, eccentric violinist, poet and general nuisance who seems barely competent at anything he does and is, on the surface, about as threatening as the pasta everyone keeps comparing his physique to. Then you put him in a stressful situation, something inside his brain goes "ping", he begins to [[LaughingMad laugh, if you can call it that]], and the mayhem starts, because Rocky under severe stress is less "violinist and general nuisance" and more "{{Pyromaniac}} and MadBomber". His record has included driving a burning truck into the house of some rival bootleggers and, in the pilot animation, hurling lit sticks of dynamite at the Marigold Gang's most ice-cold killers from atop hijacked earthmoving equipment.

* Xykon in ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''. He's funny and a fan of what one might call "[[LeeroyJenkins Leeroy Tactics]]". However, if you challenge his reputation, he'll smash the whole ceiling on you. And gods help you if you lose his phylactery...
** Also, Elan. He may have [[TookALevelInBadass literally taken a level in badass]], but he's still TheDitz most of the time.
*** Ah, but he's a [[TheDitz Ditz]] with a firm grasp of [[GenreSavvy "bardic tradition,"]] so much that he has accurately predicted future events based solely on how good a story they'd make.
** The Monster in the Dark is also a nearly textbook example. He's pretty much a moron [[spoiler: (although he has been thinking a bit more lately since his friendship with O'Chul)]], and a MinionWithAnFInEvil, but he's been shown to actually be ridiculously powerful, to the point where stomping his foot causes a major earthquake.
** Redcloak most of the time plays Xykon's chief minion. Tsukiko considered him an easily cowed malicious sycophant serving the lich and nothing more -- despite being the prophet of the Dark One and whatnot, but she's rather oblivious in general. When she really crossed him, Redcloak simply [[spoiler:politely explained how much of an idiot she is, murdered her and told Xykon "I didn't think it was a big deal"]].
** Thog is probably the most blatant example of this. On one hand, he's a complete idiot who rivals Elan for the lowest Intelligence score in the comic; on the other hand, he has the strength to toss people around like beanbags, and is mentioned to have solo-killed a stone giant ''with PC class levels'' at one point.

** Riff is a milder (or more complicated) example. He's superficially cool much of the time, but under that "strong and silent" act he rivals Torg in stereotypic male dumbness (and beats him in insensitivity); in the presence of the opposite sex, whenever he tries to do anything but look cool, he puts his foot in his mouth and becomes a total fool. However, he's right at home being a badass action hero or heroic leader when the right opportunity arises.

* The main charactersufficient amount of ''Webcomic/{{YOSH}}'', Phil, used to be your average dopey romantic-comedy type protagonist. Loyal to his friends, unprejudiced and open-hearted, possessing nothing [[BrainFood braaaaaains]] (or just one really GOOD brain, even resembling a temper... or a clue. Then the comic took a right on the corner of [[CerebusSyndrome Drama and Cerebus]], and his proven ability to survive comedic injuries was revealed to be the result of him being some kind of destined, indestructible AntiMagic superhero, thrusting him if it's cybernetic), she turns into a supergenius capable of out-thinking everyone from the center of events that will determine the fate of the world. His personality has barely shifted, but by now, he's happy to walk up OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness on down, often dissecting their GambitRoulette in front of [[MechaMooks killer robots]] and [[OurLichesAreDifferent demonic undead creatures]] them. So basically, a crouching moron, INTELLECTUAL badass. Her team-mates even pointed out how, considering that can threaten master-class {{Ninja}} and PoweredArmor Mercenaries, calmly declaring "They can't she still has her superhuman strength in this state, she's a lot like one of those runs of ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk where he gets to keep Dr. Banner's intellect even touch me", while hulked out. Other than the 'brainy' aspect, she's otherwise a straight example, right down to forgetting everything once the braaaains wear off. (She's occasionally resorted to writing notes ''to herself''... with mixed results, since her normal persona is as likely to turn a note into an origami dinosaur or a quick snack as to read it.)

* Sgt. Schlock of ''WebComic/SchlockMercenary'' is a goofy ManChild BloodKnight ComedicSociopath, and isgenerally a source of the webcomic's humor. However, one who has to do the boring stuff like actually try to TALK to their clients. Or... [[DoubleEntendre pumping people for information]]. [[AnythingThatMoves Regardless of gender and species]]. But when the going gets tough, Schlock becomes an effective soldier and has shown keen insight and foresight.. This exchange is what the rest of Tagon's Toughs think of him;
-->'''Murtaugh:''' I don't understand him. Sometimes he seems to function like I expect a grizzled sergeant to. You know, correctly.
-->'''Dr. Bunnigus:''' And sometimes he functions more like an overstimulated child? Yes,things have gone thoroughly pear-shaped, it takes some getting used to.
** This applies to about half the Toughs, though more the thinkers being surprisingly tough than the grunts being surprisingly smart.
* ''WebComic/OnePunchMan'' is heavily built around this trope. [[ComicallyInvincibleHero Saitama]] should by all rights be TheDreaded, but between his silly costume, his bald head and his carefree demeanor, neither heroes nor villains can ever seem to take him seriously. Hell, his hero codename is "Caped Baldy"! Much of his behavior is due to him being jaded from being '''too strong for anything to bequickly turns out that he's actually a challenge anymore'''.
* Dr. Phage in ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'' is a ditzy {{Mega Microbe|s}}full-blown AgentPeacock -- with a colossal ego, an infinite collection of bow ties, decorated military background and highly dubious medical qualifications. a compact, yet powerful HandCannon concealed somewhere on his person at all times.

** Torg, despite [[TookALevelInBadass taking a few levels in badass]] over the years, is still mostly just a goofy, not-too-bright guy that everyone treats as pretty harmless. Probably best exemplified in [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=090205 this]] strip:

'''Torg:''' I've been taking an Internet college correspondence course in kickass.\\
'''Riff:''' You have not.\\
'''Torg:''' But I ''so'' want to teach one!
** Riff is a milder (or more complicated) example. He'salso a front-line care provider for ''anything'' superficially cool much of the time, but under that "strong and silent" act he rivals Torg in stereotypical male dumbness (and beats him in insensitivity); in the {{Multiverse}} that gets sick enough presence of the opposite sex, whenever he tries to end up do anything but look cool, he puts his foot in The Hospital, shows exceptional competence when his mouth and becomes a total fool. However, he's dealing with life-forms he's right at home being a badass action hero or heroic leader when the right opportunity arises. So in this case you might actually miss the "moron" part of the trope if you only saw the superficial everyday coolness and the hero mode.

When he's called back into the field to track down Edward Bay, the notorious arms dealer using Website/EBay to cover his illicit dealings, Schaefer kicks his ass and looks good doing it.

** Jake may be a bit slow on the uptake, and kind of a crybaby, but don't mess with him -- his Hope powers are among the most powerful in the game. When he unleashes the full extent of his powers in [[spoiler: the Game Over Timeline]], angels begin physically manifesting around him, he effortlessly overwhelms [[NighOmnipotent Jade]] with his sheer power output and eventually blows a huge chunk out of a planet ''completely by accident.'' If not for the fact that his insecurities were holding him back from using his power to its limits, he would have [[StoryBreakerPower effortlessly dismantled every foe thrown at the heroes.]]

* Arthur Wight of ''{{Suppression}}'' is introduced getting ordered around by his daughter, who looks to be all of ten. He mopes, chain smokes, and trails around behind Maxwell, right up until he takes on Red Cerene and [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe cuts her in half]] without once showing more effort than "yeah, I'm evil, cause...yannow."
