Brains and Brawn	comment	Teaming up The Smart Guy with The Big Guy (or the Evil Genius with The Brute). Sometimes, Brains and Brawn serve as heroes, but other times they're villains (forming an Evil Duo, often the Quirky Miniboss Squad or part of a Terrible Trio, sometimes being Bantering Baddie Buddies, and very frequently a Bumbling Henchmen Duo). Either way, there tends to be some element of comedy inherent in their natures. If the Brain is ever condescending or mean to Brawn, it's because Dumb Is Good. Usually, in such a pair like this, The Smart Guy would usually communicate vital information to The Big Guy, so that The Big Guy would utilize this information to his advantage. Other times, The Smart Guy would provide items and equipment for The Big Guy to utilize. Regardless, while The Smart Guy provides resources and information, The Big Guy must protect The Smart Guy with his life, so that he could gain more information and resources from The Smart Guy. Typically, since one person has brain but not brawn and the other brawn but not brains, the brawn half of this trope is also an example of Dumb Muscle. When you have one character with both Brains and Brawn, you've got yourself a Genius Bruiser or a Badass Bookworm, depending on which element is dominant. Sometimes both characters form this dynamic. If combined with Big Guy, Little Guy, the Little Guy is almost always the Brains and the Big Guy the Brawn. See also, Beauty, Brains, and Brawn, a feminine variation of the Trope with a third member — a Beauty — added, Strong Girl, Smart Guy, for when the Brawn is a girl and the Brains is a guy, and Smart Jerk and Nice Moron where the Brains is the Smart Jerk while the Brawn is the Nice Moron. A Technician/Performer Team-Up often has the "technician" as the brains and the "performer" as the brawn. A Sub-Trope of Brains Versus Brawn. Be sure, when adding examples, that the non-brainy one does have great strength. If he's not superior when it comes to physical activity then they're not an example.

Heenan had Haku, Brain Busters, AndrÃ© the Giant, Mr. Perfect and Rick Rude.

Brains and Brawn / int_15c6ea92	comment	Wonder Woman (1987): The khund Ectreba plays the brawn to Sakritt's brain. The two started out as antagonists who'd decided they would jump at the opportunity to kill other slaves in order to provide more food for their faction but quickly allied with Diana during the Slave Revolt and stayed loyal to her throughout the war against the Sangtee Empire even if they questioned her tactics. Rough, tumble and superstrong Wonder Girl Cassie Sandsmark is best friends with clever hacker extraordinaire George Redmond. They've even teamed up to take on supervillains before, though George prefers to act as Cassie's confidant and avoid heroics herself.

Frank was taller, leaner and more calm and logical. Joe was shorter, more muscular, and prone to being impulsive and hot-headed. Only a partial example as they're both shown as very tough and very clever, they just finally started to complement each other's personalities better.

Coco regularly provides physical assistance as well, though Crash usually plays the main bulk of the game due to either stronger abilities or being able to access more areas and vehicles. Crash Twinsanity: Crash Bandicoot and Dr. Neo Cortex share this relationship, though Cortex initially considers it a combination of his brilliant intellect and Crash's vacuous stupidity at first. In the end, most of the time, Crash just winds up whacking things with Cortex.

One is big, clunky, armored, and sub-sentient, the other is small, agile, and has tactical skills. They are apparently named after Beany and Cecil. Among the X-Men themselves, one of the more iconic romantic pairings was between computer geek Kitty Pryde and team powerhouse Colossus. And their enemies, Juggernaut and Black Tom Cassidy. They're of comparable intelligence, but Black Tom is a plotter and Juggernaut is an enforcer.

Neither is portrayed as especially bright — they're at a Stone Age level at best — but Bokoblins are portrayed as more technically skilled than Moblins; they're the only ones of the two to make ranged weaponry (Moblin will use other races' bows, but on their own only make crude clubs and spears) and to tame and ride horses. Additionally, while both purely Bokoblin and Bokoblin-Moblin groups can be found inhabiting structured camps and forts, Moblins found by themselves simply live in the wilderness without even the simplest shelter, implying that only Bokoblins know how to build and maintain even crude buildings and structures. Moblins, however, are a lot bigger and a lot stronger than Bokoblins, and serve as the main combat muscle and damage sponges in mixed bands.

Downplayed since brawns are also required to be pretty damn smart in order to come close to the pilot's abilities, though the brainships do tend to regard themselves as the smarter partners.

Damen is a warrior prince who is huge and muscular, and fights both as a calling and as a sport, but he has no head for the complicated court politics he is embroiled with, while Laurent has a much lither frame and Damen beats him when the two fight, but he has been playing court politics all his life and embroiled in a fight of wits to assert his inheritance and power for years, making him the brains of the operation. That being said, Damen is not stupid, he just has a very Good Cannot Comprehend Evil morality that makes him blind to the ruthless and manipulative measures others, including Laurent, are willing to take; and Laurent is not weak, as his skill with a sword is still very impressive to the point he takes down a man much larger than even Damen with a mix of hit and run attacks and Combat Pragmatism.

It initially appears that Edward is the brains and Alphonse the brawn, supported by the fact that Alphonse (in his human or armored forms) is stronger, while Edward is shown to be more intelligent and perceptive. Furthermore, Edward is the only one of the two who is a state alchemist, and admits he had never once beaten Alphonse in a sparring match. In actuality, both brothers embody both types. Edward is a Badass Bookworm, the more physical and belligerent (especially where his height is concerned), while Alphonse is a bit of a Shrinking Violet Genius Bruiser. Izumi taught them both that one needs to train their body in order to train their mind.

However, this doesn't mean Emai's not smart; she's very intelligent actually. She's just more willing (and happy) to get her hands dirty and to use her powers to get out of a situation, while he utilizes more creative, out of the box ideas while in a scrape.

Locke is a Satisfied Street Rat, cunning, quick on his feet and knows con artistry the way Mozart knew music. Jean is less quick-witted than Locke, and while a competent enough grifter, he's nowhere near Locke's level. However, Jean has a far better formal education, is something of a math prodigy and loves classical literature and theatre.

Brains and Brawn / int_35e05f2a	comment	RWBY: When the students first arrive at Beacon Academy, there are rumours they'll have to form teams, but they don't know much else. Weiss attempts to form a team with Pyrrha, who is open to the idea. Weiss' intention is to be the smartest girl in class and she knows that Pyrrha will be the strongest girl in class. She therefore believes that their "brains and brawn" combination will ensure they receive perfect grades. Her plan is scuppered by the process the headmaster actually uses to create the teams; as a result, Weiss ends up paired with Ruby on Team RWBY while Pyrrha ends up paired with Jaune on Team JNPR. For her plan to destroy the Kingdom of Atlas, Salem pairs together Dr. Watts and Tyrian Callows. Watts works through technology and hacking while Tyrian targets those they need murdered. Together, they sow chaos throughout the kingdom, turning the wealthy Atlas and impoverished Mantle against each other.

The two started out as antagonists who'd decided they would jump at the opportunity to kill other slaves in order to provide more food for their faction but quickly allied with Diana during the Slave Revolt and stayed loyal to her throughout the war against the Sangtee Empire even if they questioned her tactics. Rough, tumble and superstrong Wonder Girl Cassie Sandsmark is best friends with clever hacker extraordinaire George Redmond. They've even teamed up to take on supervillains before, though George prefers to act as Cassie's confidant and avoid heroics herself.

When you ask a scientist to follow you, he may say, "With my brains and your brawn, we'll make an excellent team." Which is quite the backhanded remark if there ever was one, considering Gordon is just as educated as any of them. In Half-Life: Blue Shift, Barney Calhoun is the Brawn to Dr. Rosenberg and his team's Brains. It's Rosenberg and his companions who are able to build the functioning teleporter that allows the group to escape Black Mesa. However, without Calhoun there to act as their bodyguard and retrieve vital equipment for their progress while killing every alien and soldier in the way, they all would have died.

In the backstory, this was the dynamic of Revan and Malak's partnership, though downplayed, as each of them were both skilled warriors and intelligent. Revan was a master of the Force, extremely wise despite his youth, and possibly the greatest military strategist in galactic history up to that point. Malak towered over his master, was the more martial focused of the two but, while far from stupid and a competent tactician, was nowhere near Revan's equal in long-term strategic thinking.

Brains and Brawn / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: In many games, Link, a Master Swordsman, is helped by Wise Princess Zelda. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Bokoblins and Moblins have a species-wide relationship of this sort. Neither is portrayed as especially bright — they're at a Stone Age level at best — but Bokoblins are portrayed as more technically skilled than Moblins; they're the only ones of the two to make ranged weaponry (Moblin will use other races' bows, but on their own only make crude clubs and spears) and to tame and ride horses. Additionally, while both purely Bokoblin and Bokoblin-Moblin groups can be found inhabiting structured camps and forts, Moblins found by themselves simply live in the wilderness without even the simplest shelter, implying that only Bokoblins know how to build and maintain even crude buildings and structures. Moblins, however, are a lot bigger and a lot stronger than Bokoblins, and serve as the main combat muscle and damage sponges in mixed bands.

Consulars, in-lore, are diplomats and strategists who rely heavily on Force abilities to defend themselves and their charges if diplomacy fails. Qyzen is a Trandoshan big gamer hunter and ex-Bounty Hunter on a spiritual quest and was originally specced as the Consular's tank. The Sith Inquisitor and Khem Val are the Consular and Qyzen's Shadow Archetype. The Inquisitor is an ex-slave who was shipped off to Korriban as glorified target practice once their Force Sensitivity was discovered, and therefore Had to Be Sharp to just survive. Khem isn't stupid, but he has been stuck in stasis for the last few centuries and is behind the curve on current events as a result. Played very straight if the Consular or Inquisitor are heal spec, but Subverted if playing an Shadow or Assassin tank spec. A Bounty Hunter, particularly of the Powertech tank class and Mako. Mako is a small woman who worked as Mission Control and an information broker for her adoptive father Braden (the Hunter's mentor), and was specced as the healer companion.

Brains and Brawn / int_8258e260	comment	Super Mario Bros.: Invoked in the manual for Mario Party, which describes Luigi as the brains, and Mario as the brawn. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, the two-character-kart system uses this dynamic. The driver is the Brains, being the one who navigates the kart, while the rider is the Brawn, being the one who throws the items. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars: Two examples, both cases of a Dual Boss: The first one is Queen Valentina (brains, seeing as she's the Evil Genius attempting to usurp the throne of Nimbus Land) and Dodo (brawn, as he's her Dumb Muscle bodyguard). This is also true as far as gameplay is concerned; during the Boss Battle, Valentina has powerful magical attacks, but is rather weak physically, while Dodo (brawn) has powerful physical attacks. Cloaker and Domino is the second pair. Domino (brains) has powerful magical attacks, but cannot use or withstand physical attacks, while Cloaker (brawn) has powerful physical attacks, but cannot use or withstand magical attacks. Wario and Waluigi. The latter is the brains while the former is the brawn. Bowser and his son Bowser Jr. counts when it comes to fighting. Bowser tend to rely on his natural strength and abilities (brawn), while the physically weaker Jr. mainly uses vehicles and gadgets (brains). This is especially notable in games such as Super Mario Sunshine and New Super Mario Bros. U, where the two fights together, as well as the Super Smash Bros. games, where Bowser never uses any kind of gadgets or weapons note aside from the usable items provided in-game while Jr. fights entirely from inside his Clown Car with only two physical attacks. Otherwise, things arenâ€™t played as straight; Bowser is generally the one who makes the schemes and leads the troops, while Jr. is a leader-in-training who follows his dad most of the time.

They're similar in many ways; they both have three stages, reach their final evolution when traded, and are more likely to be male. This is the exact name of a trainer duo, consisting of a Black Belt and a Psychic. Such a duo also appeared in the anime in a double battle against Ash and Paul. PokÃ©mon Scarlet and Violet introduces the duo Tatsugiri and Dondozo. Tatsugiri is described as being highly intelligent but physically weak, while Dondozo is very large (one of the largest PokÃ©mon, in fact) and powerful but lacks in brains. Tatsugiri lives in Dondozo's mouth and issues orders to it, while also helping Dondozo to catch food which the latter otherwise does poorly at despite being a glutton. This even extends in battle, as if the two are sent out together in a Double Battle, Tatsugiri can use its ability Commander to hide inside of Dondozo's mouth, protecting itself from damage while allowing Dondozo's signature move Order Up access to an additional buffing affect based on the variation of Tatsugiri that entered its mouth. The two PokÃ©mon together act as the False Dragon Titan at Casseroya Lake, albeit not as a Double Battle.

As a dwarf, Tyrion has had to use his wit and intellect to overcome the prejudice he has faced throughout his life and Bronn is his bodyguard-turned-friend who is a skilled and dangerous sellsword. Bran to Osha. Bran is a cripple after an accident left him paralyzed but is very perceptive and is also a "warg" - meaning he has the ability to enter the mind of animals.

Brains and Brawn / int_b50cc7e6	comment	The Incredible Hulk: Bruce Banner himself and his various alters also act as this to each other as an actual dynamic: when he's more cooperative with his alters, Bruce takes on the role of Brain to their Brawn, and a moral compass as well. At times, Bruce has even been suggested to be working in Hulk's mind to direct all his actions to ensure there are no casualties. Joe Fixit (while also a Hulk and bruiser in his own right) sometimes has this dynamic compared to the more powerful but less streetwise Hulks, since he's more willing to think smart and strategically. This is also Rick Jones dynamic with the Hulk, with Rick generally being the smarter one of the two, directing the Hulk what exactly he needs to smash.

Brains and Brawn / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: It wasn't a consistent thing, but more often than not, army books in older editions would go for two special characters, generally a clever mage (or mage-equivalent in the case of the Dwarf army, who cannot use magic) and a big, beefy fighter hero: Lord Kroak and Kroq-Gar for the Lizardmen, Wurrzag and Grimgor for the orcs, and so on. The best known example in the lore is Tyrion and Teclis, High Elf brothers who are a physically gifted weapon master and a mystically powerful but physically weak (as in, needs healing potions just to stay alive) mage. They're also brothers. Darkly subverted with Vilitch the Curseling, who could have been part of one of these pairings with his brother (with Vilitch playing the "brains" role), except that his tribe spat on him for being a mutated weakling and adored his handsome, powerful brother...until Vilitch made a Deal with the Devil, fused his body with his brother's, and used dark magic to control his mind. Heinrich Kemmler is a frail and ancient (but extremely powerful) necromancer, and Krell is his physically imposing wight sidekick. In the fourth edition Kemmler could actually defeat Krell in hand-to-hand combat, but later editions would firmly put them in this dynamic. Krell can fight challenges for Kemmler, and gets more powerful if he does.

Tatsugiri is described as being highly intelligent but physically weak, while Dondozo is very large (one of the largest PokÃ©mon, in fact) and powerful but lacks in brains. Tatsugiri lives in Dondozo's mouth and issues orders to it, while also helping Dondozo to catch food which the latter otherwise does poorly at despite being a glutton. This even extends in battle, as if the two are sent out together in a Double Battle, Tatsugiri can use its ability Commander to hide inside of Dondozo's mouth, protecting itself from damage while allowing Dondozo's signature move Order Up access to an additional buffing affect based on the variation of Tatsugiri that entered its mouth. The two PokÃ©mon together act as the False Dragon Titan at Casseroya Lake, albeit not as a Double Battle.

Brains and Brawn / int_e7a9c06c	comment	Paperinik New Adventures: Xadhoom and Paperinik does this with a catch: Xadhoom is a Genius Bruiser and perhaps the smartest person in the universe, but she is also carrying around the power of the sun, so her strategies rarely go beyond being The Berserker since she very rarely needs anything else. Paperinik, on the other hand, is Book Dumb but also a Badass Normal who knows how to think on his feet and figure out plans that don't require Xadhoom to detonate half a solar system. Paperinik and One form a more traditional pair. One is a Badass Normal superhero, the other is his Mission Control and artificial intelligence. There is also a whole planet (Vanium) where each member of the strong but dumb race lives in symbiosis with a member of the weak but smart race.

Her best friend, Luna, is a confrontative bruiser whose strength was enhanced by her lightning power. Daigo is the face of his gang, and like Luna has had his strength enhanced by his superpower. By contrast, his girlfriend Melissa serves as the brains and manipulates the gang through him.

Brains and Brawn / int_eb3f769d	comment	Aubrey-Maturin: Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are a subversion that seems played straight at first. Stephen Maturin is a 5'6" ill-looking physician and naturalist who can never grasp details of life at sea. Jack Aubrey is a tall, heavily-built naval war hero, whose body is covered with scars from various boarding actions he commanded, and who constantly fails hilariously at quoting The Bible or classical literature. However, Stephen routinely kicks Jack's lieutenants up and down the deck during fencing practice, and sometimes follows it up with shooting the pips off a playing card at twenty paces. Meanwhile, Jack has very little natural curiosity and sees no value in learning for its own sake, but will hurl himself head first into any academic pursuit he believes to be useful. When the series ends, he is one of three RN captains chosen for their astronomical skills to observe the passage of Venus (a once-in-a-millennium occurrence), his papers and lectures on astronomy and oceanography have won him a Fellowship in the Royal Society, and he always builds all his own telescopes and spyglasses.

Hoody takes on the role of the brains, being the one to set up the totheark puzzles, whereas Masky is the one to take up the brawn role, often going out of his way to attack things. Troy Wagner has said in pannels that Masky is basically like 'I'm gonna tackle that with my face', able to get Alex onto the ground, even with a bad leg. It should be noted that he often does this without thinking, leading to his right leg being broken and his identity being revealed.

Brains and Brawn / int_ef57d399	comment	The Mountain and the Wolf: Zigzagged with regard to the Wolf and his Tzeentchian sorcerer Sven Swordeater. While it's obvious the Wolf is the stronger of the two (being bigger than Gregor Clegane) while Sven has powerful magic, the Wolf isn't as stupid as he appears to be. Sven thinks himself able to manipulate the Wolf to their advantage, but the Wolf knows Tzeentchians well enough to know you can never trust one, and his frequent mistreating of Sven is justified with the fact that Sven will betray him someday, so he might as well do something to deserve it.

Brains and Brawn / int_f349915b	comment	Played with in Dragonlance with Raistlin and Caramon Majere. They are twins, and early in their lives they are described as one person split in two. Raistlin is sickly and slight of build but possesses a particularly keen intellect, while Caramon is powerfully built but appears dull. However, by the end of the War of the Lance, the two have fully become their own people and go their separate ways. As the most power archmage in Krynn's history, Raistlin no longer relied on his brother's brawn. In contrast, Caramon's friends realize that he is not stupid, he simply weighs all options overly cautiously, preferring to trust in his twin's cleverness and decisiveness. As Caramon gains confidence in himself, he loses this indecisiveness and proves himself to be a particularly skilled general.

Brains and Brawn / int_f3e1f424	comment	Merlin: Merlin (brains) and Arthur (brawn). Merlin is sort of defaulted into the position of brains because (unlike Arthur) he usually knows what's actually going on. Amusingly, Arthur seems to consider himself the brains and the brawn of their two man band and takes delight in calling Merlin an idiot, useless buffoon, girl's petticoat, etc. — although, if you don't know that Merlin has magic, his antics do seem a bit strange. Although in the later episodes, Arthur seems to be realizing how clever/talented Merlin is, but is extra mean to hide his fondness of his servant. In fact, as far as the magical side of the series goes, Gaius is the brains and Merlin is the brawn — Gaius knows everything there is to know about everything but doesn't like to use magic, while Merlin, the most powerful warlock of all time, manages to consistently not know anything about the evil magic of the episode until Gaius does the research for him. Granted, Gaius is his mentor, so it's sort of in the job description.

Brains and Brawn / int_f6975f08	comment	Horace and Jasper from 101 Dalmatians are a downplayed example. Jasper is the leader and marginally smarter than Horace, not that that's saying much. Horace does seem to be stronger given that he can carry the bag holding the 15 puppies with one hand, breaks down some boards that Jasper was having trouble with, and accidentally rips out their vehicle's steering wheel in the climax. His strength doesn't help him out against the adult dalmatians however, and despite being generally dumber than Jasper, he is shown to accurately guess most of the dalmatians decisions in a case of Dumbass Has a Point, only for Jasper to shoot down the assumptions.

Brains and Brawn / int_fdbace96	comment	Gravity Falls: Dipper and Mabel. She is a Cute Bruiser who cheerfully walks around with axes, grappling hooks and random blunt objects, while her brother is physically wimpy but usually the one who does the planning or utilizes the various supernatural objects they come across to their advantage. Eventually deconstructed as we see that both of them have become pretty fixated on their respective roles to the detriment of their individuality: Mabel is still very imaginative and by no means stupid, and Dipper once took down a Humongous Mecha unarmed while deprived of his usual source of arcane knowledge. Their great-uncles also used to fall into this dynamic, complete with the aforementioned caveat, with Ford having genius-level intelligence and Stan having been the mentally and physically tougher one when they were children. (As adults, they proved roughly on par in a physical brawl). By the time they were teenagers, however, years of being treated like a failure by teachers and their abusive father led the latter to develop a major inferiority complex toward his brother. When Ford considered going to a prestigeous college on his own, Stan doubted whether he could make it out in the world without his brother, and a few rash decisions later, their once close relationship was shattered for over 30 years. However, now in their 60, it has become more balanced. Grunkle Ford endured and survived in a hostile nightmarish dimension for several years and has become more physically impressive. Grunkle Stan also taught himself enough science to rebuild, operate and restore the Portal. Furthermore, Grunkle Stan is also Street Smart; hence why he has been a successful businessman and being able to con anyone, including Bill Cipher.
