* ''Series/BlueHeelers'':
** For the first five seasons, the second-in-command of Mt Thomas Police Station was Senior Constable Nick Schultz, promoted to Sergeant around the same time that his boss Tom Croydon was promoted to Senior Sergeant.
** After Nick left, Senior Constable Maggie Doyle was made Acting Sergeant, but asked to step down in Season 6, in favour of Snr. Constable Ben Stewart.
** In Season 7, Sgt. Tess Gallagher was assigned, taking Ben's place in the chain of command. After she left in Season 10, Ben was named Acting Sergeant again and promoted permanently at the beginning of Season 11.
** Partway through Season 11, Sgt. Mark Jacobs was assigned by an Inspector with a grudge against both Tom and Ben, in hopes of him taking over the station when the former retired. Mark and Ben divided duties between them for a few months before Ben left, leaving Mark as second-in-command.
** After Mark left towards the end of Season 12, Tom named Snr. Constable Susie Raynor Acting Sergeant [[QuicklyDemotedWoman only for the aforementioned Inspector to override him in the next episode]], in favour of Alex Kirby, who remained in that position until the final episode.

* In later episodes of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' [[spoiler:Zuko]] would fill the role as Aang's Number Two. While Sokka is defacto TheLeader because he's the master strategist who mostly calls the shots, [[spoiler:Zuko]] is the only other unifying force of Team Avatar besides the Avatar himself. [[spoiler:When Aang goes missing, Zuko is the one to step up and take the reins]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' Asami becomes Korra's Number Two during Book Three, where they spend the most amount of time with each other than any of the other members of the cast. With Korra as TheLeader, Asami serves as her confidante, right-hand woman, and go-to girl for planning and strategy. [[spoiler:It is one of the factors that leads them to becoming an OfficialCouple towards the end of the series.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': [[BadassNormal Applejack]], because of being the TeamMom and the ([[ConflictBall usual]]) voice of reason among the Mane 6, is the go-to second-in-command of [[TheHero Twilight]] [[BadassBookworm Sparkle]]. The cowgirl always takes up the reins whenever Twilight is absent or otherwise unable to lead, something which no pony (not even [[BoisterousBruiser Rainbow Dash]]) complains about.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. Never outright stated in the show, but [[TheLancer Cyborg]] seems to function as leader whenever Robin is AWOL or otherwise unable to lead, e.g the Season 1 finale. Except during the finale of the fifth season story arc, when the role falls to Beast Boy. True, for most of it this was by default of him being the only core team member still free and active, but when the others show up, he still seems to be calling the shots until Robin's freed from the Brotherhood. There's also the fact that to most of the team the Brotherhood are new enemies, while Beast Boy had already faced them numerous times when he was a member of the Doom Patrol before joining the Titans.

Being a lot more serious as well as rational than her hot-blodded captain, she balances him out quite a lot. Due to her sharp intelect, she is also the chief strategist of the crew.

* ''Fanfic/FateRevelationOnline'':
** Early on, Asuna decides to take on the role of "battlefield commander" to support her guild, like in canon. In canon, this was because her guild was so huge that multiple commanders were needed. In this fic, her guild is tiny, but her guildmaster is Ilya, who is most politely described as "capricious."
--->'''Shirou:''' She is pretty busy, anyway, as the Guild Vice Commander.\\
'''Kirito:''' You can call her [Guild Babysitter]. It's fine.\\
'''Shirou:''' You don't. Not to her face, anyway.\\
'''Kirito:''' Or in front of Ilya.
** Diabel's second in command is Kibaou, a hot-headed but good-hearted man who serves well as a battlefield commander. Asuna mentions she has to deal directly with him pretty often, partly because of their similar roles and partly because he just really doesn't get along with Ilya. However, Diabel's official heir is actually Thinker, a NonActionGuy who isn't even in the same guild. This is because Diabel sees his role as "leader of the hostages" as more important than his role as "leader of the biggest guild." Essentially, Thinker is the Vice President of the players, while Kibaou is merely a General.

This is the position he's most comfortable with on teams since he doesn't mind coming up with plans, strategizing and working out tactics but he doesn't really like being the actual leader.
