* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Peter Parker invented the web-shooters that allow him to BuildingSwing around New York, and often finds himself up against much larger and/or stronger foes that require him to think on his feet to defeat them, such as when he defeats [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Morlun]] by [[SpikedBlood irradiating his own blood]] in ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManJMichaelStraczynski''. He also invented a tracking device that's keyed to his own Spider-Sense and thus has no conventional radio signal to detect. Hank Pym was initially impressed by these inventions, and then amazed when he realized that Peter Parker created them at age 15 with virtually no resources.

* Zig-zagged with Benjamin Berg in ''Literature/WarsOfTheRealm''. Over the first two books, he is set up as a serious genius, but not a very practical one. The only reason Drew spends the first two books looking for him is so he can protect him long enough for him (Ben) to rebuild the LASOK. However, when Ben is left on his own in ''Light of the Last'', he not only survives but thrives through his smarts, [[spoiler:founding his own tech company to keep himself afloat and stay hidden]]. [[spoiler:And when Drew needs enough gear and technological know-how to save America, he comes to Ben--who doesn't disappoint]].
