Genius Bruiser is when a character looks like they'd be the Dumb Muscle, but they turn out to be highly intelligent and very intellectual people. Cultured Badass is a badass who has a refined way to them. They can overlap occasionally.
There are however, cases where they differ a lot. For example, a Cultured Badass could achive badassery with the power of culturedness! Say for instance a Guile Hero is an artist, and their paintings may be a big part of defeating the enemy (because of the influence it incites in other people).

Also, a Genius Bruiser could be a Gadgeteer Genius who has a degree in engineering and is also big and tough. A Cultured Badass is a badass who is knowledgeable specifically in art, literature, classical music, wine tasting, that sort of thing.
Is there any difference between this and Cultured Warrior? Seems like the same thing to me, or at least Ridiculously Similar.

What's the difference between the Cultured Badass and the Genius Bruiser?
The description describes both as tough guys who know more than they look.
