* Franchise/DocSavage was raised from birth to be the pinnacle of [[GeniusBruiser human physical and mental achievement,]] to the point he could be the TropeCodifier. He is [[SuperDoc the world's greatest physician and surgeon]] (in the very first book, he is shown to be able to heal life-threatening wounds ''without leaving scars''), [[OmnidisciplinaryScientist a Nobel-level scientist in every field]], [[GadgeteerGenius a prolific and brilliant inventor,]] an [[BoldExplorer explorer and cartographer of the wildest regions on every continent,]] an unequalled {{Omniglot}}, a BadassDriver, an AcePilot, a MasterOfDisguise [[MasterActor and acting to go with it]], a GreatDetective -- to sum up, here's what he's ''not'' great at; dancing and cooking.

* Professor John Kenner of the Creator/MichaelCrichton novel ''Literature/StateOfFear'': graduated from an MIT engineering course and a Harvard Law course both at higher than average speed, became a professor at MIT at 25 and still manages to be a hot-shot federal agent. Oh, and he is apparently able to quote geological surveys from memory. The only thing keeping him from being absolutely perfect is him at one point confessing he isn't good at languages and a major WhatAnIdiot moment.

* While on the subject of ''Franchise/StarWars'', [[Literature/JediAcademyTrilogy Kyp Durron]] averts The Ace, at least in ''I, Jedi''. Yes, he grew up in a penal colony, where he was a slave. Yes, he is extremely powerful as a Jedi, rivaling Luke in raw talent alone. Then things go downhill: he gets possessed by the spirit of Exar Kun and goes on an anti-Empire rampage, killing his brother and twenty-five million innocents with the help of a superweapon. At the end of it, Luke lets him rejoin the Jedi after he breaks free, which causes Mara Jade and Keiran Halcyon[[note]]aka Corran Horn[[/note]] to resign as Jedi students.
