* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'': As a fellow Seven Star, Iok Kujan is technically second-in-command of the Arianrhod Fleet and right below [[BigBad Rustal Elion]] in their hierarchy, but the reason he's TheBrute rather than TheDragon is because of how [[GeneralFailure utterly incompetent]] he is.

* Conroy Wu from ''VideoGame/SleepingDogs'' is the embodiment of this. He is the second-in-command of the Water Street Boys led by Winston Chu, but he is so much of a thuggish, ill-tempered, steroid using, and violent idiot that he makes his boss look worse rather than better by comparison, and as Charles Ho notes, represents Winston's inability to attract raw talent in the eyes of other Red Poles.

* Otis in ''Film/{{Superman}}'' is a plump, bungling sycophant and flunky, whose only noteworthy skill is to make Lex Luthor's criminal genius all the more evident by comparison. He can't even be trusted with the security of their subway hideout: Lex sees someone tailing Otis on hidden camera and mechanically shoves the man in the path of an oncoming train, then berates his henchman, saying it's not the first time he's ignored someone following him. When Luthor reveals a map of his "new" Western Seaboard, he notices Otis has scrawled "OtiƧBURG" -- [[RandomlyReversedLetters yes, backwards S included]] -- on an empty bit of land in marker, and demands it be removed. Interestingly, while he could more accurately be called a third-in-command behind the more valuable and skilled Eve Teschmacher, Otis is also Lex's direct subordinate because of [[TerribleTrio how small their gang is]].

-->'''Luthor:''' Bye-bye, California; hello, new West Coast -- MY West Coast.\\
''[Otis takes the plastic partition away, showing a reduced California coastline]''\\
'''Luthor:''' Costa del Lex. Luthorville. Marina del Lex. Otisburg...\\
''[He realizes what he's just said and turns to look at Otis in sheer contempt]''\\
'''Luthor:''' "Otisburg"?\\
'''Otis:''' ''[feebly]'' Miss Teschmacher, she's got her own place...\\
'''Luthor:''' Otisburg?!\\
'''Otis:''' ''[trying to defend himself]'' It's a little bitty place--!\\
'''Luthor:''' ''OTIS''-burg?!\\
'''Otis:''' ''[sounding close to tears]'' Okay, I'll just... wipe it off, that's all... just a little town...
** His tendency to screw up is even acknowledged by Lex in ''Film/SupermanII'', and he leaves Otis behind as literal dead weight during the prison escape when their makeshift hot-air balloon can't achieve liftoff. Otis isn't seen or referenced for the rest of the movie, [[ShooOutTheClowns thus affording more screen time to Zod]].
