* Izuku Midoriya from ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' is a hero {{Otaku}} to the nth degree, to the point that he memorizes the favorite foods and ''trees'' of the world's most famous heroes. After obtaining One For All, he eventually becomes a brawler who rushes into the middle of the fight to deal serious hurt and overpower his opponents with his SuperStrength, going so far as to break a limb if he needs to use 100% of his new power. But his greatest strength is his nigh-encyclopedic hero knowledge and knack for strategy.

Can also be a WorkingClassHero if the nerdy hero is also from the lower working-class backgrounds.

Cisco is a GadgeteerGenius who has some combat training (and picks up metahuman powers as well), [[spoiler: ''both'' versions of Harrison Wells are pretty badass]], and Patty Spivot is an {{Adorkable}} police detective who enjoys reading Barry's lab reports [[spoiler: and leaves to become a CSI herself]]. Barry Allen himself evenly splits the difference between being a {{Nerd}} and an ActionHero -- he catches bad guys both as a CSI tech and as the Flash.

* Billy, the Blue Ranger of the ''[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers]]. A walking stereotype of a nerd, complete with a {{Technobabble}} way of speaking, NerdGlasses, and overalls. Becoming a Ranger actually improves his nerd cred, since now he gets to tinker with the super-advanced technology of the Command Center and and thus is able to create a horde of impressive machines, as well help make minor upgrades to their Zords, that aid in their fight against the forces of evil. In subsequent seasons, he gets much less stereotypically nerdy, reducing his technobabble speech, and wearing less baggy clothes[[note]]subsequently revealing the actor's impressive physique that the overalls only mostly hid[[/note]], as a result of CharacterDevelopment and becoming a much more confident fighter.
