* ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'' exaggerates this trope to its logical end-point with Jadis, the Demiurge of Sloth. Though she was once the second most powerful member of the Seven (and therefore in the top five of most powerful living beings in the Multiverse, period), Jadis desired more and sought to become TheOmniscient. [[GoneHorriblyRight She succeeded]], becoming aware of ''everything'' -- [[PrescienceIsPredictable including the future, and therefore everything that will ever happen to anyone, ever, including herself]]. As a result, Jadis barely counts as a 'person' anymore and is more of a living plot device: [[AndIMustScream Capable of perfect knowledge of everything and perfectly incapable of changing anything]], [[EmbodimentOfVice she is the perfect image of]] ''Acedia'' because she is incapable of being otherwise. The other members of the Seven find Jadis nigh-impossible to deal with and [[spoiler:Allison eventually realises that there's no real point in interacting with her at all, as Jadis isn't really 'experiencing' the interaction so much as she's simply physically present, while her consciousness is unmoored from space-time and has always known about it.]]

* In ''Webcomic/JupiterMen'', Quintin's PhotographicMemory should make it trivial for him to succeed in school. But he pays so little attention in class that he gets poor grades anyways. When he is paying attention, he's surprisingly gifted at making IndyPloys and can memorize complex passcodes with a glance.

* Tarras Douberg from ''Manhwa/WitchHunter'' is shown to be very powerful and capable as an A-ranked WH, but he isn't seen as such for a period of time, and is regarded an extra from his lack of participation in a fight. At one point in time, he claims he shouldn't waste his energy fighting the underlings. He also later takes a period of time to join into a fight when he is troubled by his own personal, and considered somewhat pathetic, problems.

* Brutally deconstructed with ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'''s Scar -- while his brilliance goes to the point of providing the page quote for BrainsEvilBrawnGood and he's clever enough to plan one assassination plus subsequent coup then play XanatosSpeedChess when the original plan fails, when it comes to actually ruling a kingdom he lets the place fall apart by not even trying. In part, this is due to him coveting the title of king mainly for power and privilege - when he discovers that it requires actual work on his part, he has less than zero interest in doing anything other than sulking in his cave.

* ''Franchise/BillAndTed'': Most of the time, the title characters are content to act like dumb slackers, but when properly motivated, they're remarkably clever. In [[Film/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure the first movie]], they figure out how to manipulate the mechanics of time-travel within a few hours of discovering it exists, and successfully persuade numerous historical figures -- many of whom don't even speak English -- to help them with their project. In [[Film/BillAndTedsBogusJourney the sequel]], they become the first people in history to outsmart both TheGrimReaper ''and'' {{Satan}} and return from Hell back to the living world.
