14	!!![[AC:Other Publishers:]]
15	* ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'': He's referred to as the best warrior in the village, is capable of snapping chains without being under the effects of [[SuperSerum magic potion]], prefers to try talking his way past problems, is noticeably smarter than everyone else in his village except Getafix, and regularly outsmarts the Romans' schemes.
16	* ''ComicBook/AtomicRobo'', a big, rough guy who fought in World War 2, battled giant crabs, giant ants and giant assholes. He's also a genius beyond compare, not least because he's well... a robot.
17	* ''ComicBook/BigBangComics'': Super-Frankenstein was created not only to be super-strong but super-smart as well. He has a doctorate in biological science, and is working towards degrees in medicine, physics, and English literature.
18	-->''With the mind of a genius, the strength of a titan and the heart of a giant, Frankenstein decides to devote his great powers to [[WeHelpTheHelpless defending the innocent and combating crime, injustice and terror!]]''
19	* ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'': Scrooge [=McDuck=], especially in his youth, was tougher than the toughies and sharper than the sharpies.
20	* Roadblock from the ''Franchise/GIJoe'' comic books. In the cartoons, he's an offensive rhyming stereotype. In the comics, he can snap handcuffs at will, is a genius in the kitchen, a brilliant tactician in the field and has deep philosophical beliefs. Granted, the Joes purposely recruit the strong and brilliant but Roadblock is a cut above a majority of the Joe team in both categories. The man carries a [[{{BFG}} crew-served heavy machine gun]] and uses it like it's an ordinary rifle. Later, he gets his own cooking show. Doesn't last long, but it was his.
21	* ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'' has the Mauler Twins, a villainous pair of hulking [[OmnidisciplinaryScientist omnidisciplinary geniuses]]. They're apparently the world's leading experts on cloning, and in all other fields are tied for 2nd smartest character in the book.
22	** And by "apparently" the leading experts on cloning, one means they are in fact a second and third generation clone created by their own process. Or maybe third and fourth... The memory imprinting process is so perfect that they can never agree on who cloned who.
23	* Axwell Tiberius, the titular "monkeyman" in Art Adams' ''Monkeyman and O'Brien'', is a ten foot tall super-intelligent gorilla from a parallel dimension.
24	* ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'': Xadhoom was once Xado, the leading astrophysicist of her planet. After [[PlanetOfHats Xerbia]] was conquered by the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Evronians]], she became a PhysicalGod and,while prone to be TheBerserker, she is intelligent enough to understand [[SuperIntelligence Uno]]'s TechnoBabble and acting as TheChessmaster.
25	* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
26	%% ** ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'':
27	%% *** The first variation of Dr. Robotnik proved to be no slouch either, fighting Sonic himself one on one in their FinalBattle. Robo-Robotnik did the same in their first encounter after Robotnik's death, but once he because Dr. Eggman, that was it.
28	%% *** This is now Rotor's schtick in the post- ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsCollide'', as he's shown charging through and tossing around Badniks like crazy, yet still has plenty of time to help build the top secret "Sky Patrol" project.
29	** ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic'':
30	%% *** Robotnik will when the chips are down and the robots destroyed, he'll fight Sonic with his bare hands.
31	%% *** Commander Brutus who has a copy of Robotnik's brainwaves as well as Grimer's.
32	%% *** Knuckles while not as smart as Porker or Tekno, he is able to understand and use advance echidna technology.
33	*** Vector who is balanced in both brawn and brains, His physical strength is significant and he tends to fight using his tail and teeth. He also possesses keen computation and detective skills.
34	%% *** Nack who created his own shrinking technology.
35	* ''ComicBook/StarWarsPurge'': Justus Farr is the biggest and strongest looking of the fugitive Jedi gathered on Kessell, and one of the most insightful.
36	* ''ComicBook/StarWarsDarkTimes'': Kai Hudorra has a quick and calculating mind, but it's also occasionally emphasized that he's quite burly and a good swordsman.
37	* Flynn "Flyin'" Ryan from ''ComicBook/SteelgripStarkeyAndTheAllPurposePowerTool'' is a blue-collar construction worker, former Ivy League student teacher, handles the team's logistics and finances, and his hobbies include animal tracking and Eastern philosophy. [[spoiler:Played up to eleven when it's revealed that he secretly developed the [[{{Magitek}} technalchemy]] behind the All-Purpose Power Tool.]]
38	* ''ComicBook/{{Superlopez}}'': Bruto is physically the second strongest member of the [=SuperGrupo=], after "Supes", but he's also the second smartest after el Mago. Superlopez is also supposed to be pretty smart himself.
39	* ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'': Donatello can re-engineer most any machine and invents some of his own, and he appears to be on par with the other turtles in brawn, even going as far to be the tallest turtle in the majority of versions. Interestingly, in the first TMNT VideoGame, he's the MightyGlacier of the group.
40	* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
41	** Computron, the gestalt form of the Technobots, takes this trope so far it's actually a detriment. Gestalt Transformers [[DumbMuscle who are stupid]], such as Devastator and Bruticus, tend to be very effective, because they don't have much problem trying to focus the five or six different individual minds that make them up. Computron, on the other hand, is massively powerful (like all gestalts) ''and'' intelligent, but has to think through the full effects of every move he tries to make, which weakens him in combat.
42	** Grimlock in ''ComicBook/TransformersShatteredGlass'' started off as DumbMuscle, but then got an upgrade that made him one of these, trading HulkSpeak for SesquipedalianLoquaciousness . To wit:
43	--> '''Grimlock:''' [[LampshadeHanging "Oh, yes, it is I, Grimlock... and so much more now. To be specific, that would be 'so much more than you, now'. It does appear that there are certain linguistic idiosyncrasies that I, Grimlock, am still stuck with, however. But mustn't complain too much,]] [[VerbalTic wot?]]"
44	** Grimlock is also very much DependingOnTheWriter either DumbMuscle or using ObfuscatingStupidity. In latter scenarios, he's the equal of Optimus Prime in intelligence and leadership skills, but prefers [[BrilliantButLazy not to be bothered]] unless he's [[BloodKnight in for a fight.]]
45	** On the Decepticon side of things, there's the [[OneManArmy one-robot army]] Sixshot. Yes, really. He's incredibly powerful--9s and 10s for strength, endurance, and firepower--but he's also wickedly intelligent, with a 9 in that stat too. Where most of the more brilliant Decepticons are on the physically weaker side, Sixshot ''kills entire planets by himself''--not just the inhabitants, but the entire planet clear down to the topography.
46	* From ''ComicBook/TheUltraverse'' title ''Sludge'' come the Bash Brothers (No, not THAT kind of BashBrothers, but they do come awful close); Burke (the lawyer) and Monroe (the doctor) Basherowski, complete with SesquipedalianLoquaciousness.
47	* Maul of the ComicBook/WildCATSWildStorm is a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who gets dumber as he uses his powers to get larger and stronger. For a while, he was also able to make himself smarter by shrinking, but [[UselessSuperpowers that turned out to have side effects]].
48	* In ''ComicBook/TheSecondLifeOfDoctorMirage'', Carmen Ruiz is both a trained capoeira fighter and a genius engineer.
49	* In ''ComicBook/{{Sinsationals}}'', Ashley Svensson was a brilliant biotech scientist before a gamma-irradiated protein shake turned her into the freakishly-muscular Gamma Sex Bomb.
