In the world of fiction, physical impairment = scientific credibility. The world is actually an RPG Mechanics 'Verse, and when this Munchkin rolled up their character, they were Min-Maxing. Anyone in a wheelchair will possess super intelligence to compensate for his disability. This allows the character to remain a vital part of the cast without being expected to do anything physical. They are the exact opposite of Dumb Muscle, which exist on the same principle. A form of Disability Superpower. See also Evil Cripple for when a Genius Cripple turns out to be evil. Examples will often be a Squishy Wizard, Blind Musician, Blind Seer, or Deaf Composer. See also Ironically Disabled Artist, when physical impairment doesn't stop creative skill (as opposed to brains). Also compare Handicapped Badass for the physical counterpart of this trope, and Genius Bruiser if both tropes overlap with each other. Sickly Neurotic Geek and Geek Physiques can be similar to downplayed versions of this trope. |

Doctor Octopus in Ultimate Spider-Man (2012). Because of an accident, he lost the use of his limbs. He uses his metal arms to work, fight and move around, as his human body is basically pulled along for the ride like a talking puppet. He's still menacing and looks rather creepy, partially because of, rather than despite, all this. Doubles as an Evil Cripple. Eventually gets upgraded into a cyborg by Hydra, and eventually restored to a healthy normal body just in time to be the surprise Big Bad of the two-part Grand Finale. | |

X-Men: Professor Xavier is paraplegic and not just smart, but also the most powerful telepath in the world. His Marvel 1602 counterpart Carlos Javier has to be carried everywhere. Wheelchairs did exist in his time, but they were rare enough that he's probably never heard of such a thing. There's a minor mutant called Whiz Kid, a boy genius with the ability to turn his wheelchair into any machine he can think of. |

Doom Patrol: Niles Caulder is a paraplegic (for reasons that have never been explained) who moves around in a hovering wheelchair. His genius shows in that he was able to devise means for which the Doom Patrol can control their powers while being as presentable as possible to the public (like putting Robotman's brain into a robot body or wrapping Negative Man in lead-lined bandages). Depending on the iteration, he may also be an Evil Cripple as he triggered the accidents that gave the Doom Patrol their powers in the first place. His genius further shows in JLA: Year One where he builds devices to give the Leaguers (who have been crippled by an attack by the Doom Patrol's nemeses, the Brotherhood of Evil) temporary substitutes for their lost powers (such as an Arm Cannon for Green Lantern and an artificial voice box for Black Canary). |

Honor Harrington: While not a scientific genius, Lady Emily Alexander, senior wife and political advisor of Lord Hamish Alexander, 13th Earl of White Haven and First Lord of the Admiralty, certainly qualifies. Crippled by an aircar accident and using an advanced life support chair (and flying to boot) for the rest of her life, she's easily the most shrewd and cunning single politician in the whole Kingdom of Manticore. It might be argued, though, that it was the injury that forced her to switch from acting to writing, and that it's her extremely long and successful career as a playwright and producer that gave her the scheming skills and understanding of the human character prerequisite for a good politician. Less obvious is Honor's own treecat partner Nimitz. Due to an injury sustained in In Enemy Hands, Nimitz is rendered telepathically mute. He can hear other treecats telepathically, and his empathic sense is fine, but he can't communicate beyond that. However, with a bit of help, he's instrumental in adapting human sign language for 'cat use. |

Subverted in The Big Lebowski, when the title character spends most of the movie posing as a bad-tempered, handicapped disabled self-made millionaire ("I didn't blame anyone for the loss of my legs! Some Chinaman took them from me in Korea!"), and turns out to be a phony. That is to say, he's not a genius, as Walter learns the hard way; he genuinely is crippled. | |

Grand Theft Auto V has Lester, who has to use either a wheelchair or a cane to move around due to a degenerative muscular disease, but does most of the planning behind the protagonists' heists. The one time he doesn't plan a heist, Trevor almost ends up selling a nuclear superweapon to the Chinese, which would have put the group on the government's hit list for the rest of their lives. That misadventure serves to show exactly why he's so crucial to the heists' success. | |

RWBY: Volume 7 introduces Pietro Polendina, one of the most brilliant minds in the Kingdom of Atlas. He is a paraplegic robotics engineer who gets around in a customised chair with four mechanical legs that move like a spider's. His speciality is creating robotic prosthetics, such as Yang's arm and Maria's eyes; he spends much of his spare time volunteering in the disadvantaged mining community of Mantle, who wouldn't otherwise have access to prosthetics and engineers of his quality. His crowning achievement is the P.E.N.N.Y. Project, where he created the world's first synthetic lifeform capable of generating an Aura; she is better known as Penny Polendina, his daughter. His project has been so successful at bridging the divide between man and machine that Penny is even capable of inheriting the soul and magic of a Maiden, which can only be inherited by young women. | |

Harry Potter: Over the course of his career as an Auror, Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody has lost a leg, an eye, note though this wasn't crippling at all, as he got a magical replacement that allows him to see in all directions and through solid objects and part of his nose, and acquired a series of nasty scars. He's still an extremely skilled wizard and strategist, albeit something of a Bunny-Ears Lawyer due to being Properly Paranoid all the time. He's also an incredible Dark Wizard hunter, and it's said that half the cells in Azkaban are filled because of him. | |

Lord Vetinari from the Discworld series is uncannily clever at manipulating people and creating plans that work to his advantage whatever happens. Fairly early in the series, he gets shot in the leg with a prototype gun and uses a cane to walk for the rest of the series, and after that point, he seems to get even more scary-smart than he was before. | |

Fallout: New Vegas's Mr. House is a 200-years-old person with a physical constitution to match — he can't even exist, not to mention move, outside his capsule, as the diseases would kill him in less than a year, and he has to do everything through his interface and you, if you decide to join him. He's also an absolutely brilliant mind and the reason New Vegas is still standing — it is stated that Luck in this game actually stands for capacity to compute statistics and probabilities, and his is maxed. | |

Green Lantern: The Silver Age version of villain Hector Hammond. Unusual for this trope, his handicap and intellect are not natural, but the result of exposure to a strange meteorite, which caused Hammond's brain to mutate, but also crippled his body and took away his ability to speak. He instead relies on telepathy to communicate. | |

However, he was the most clever and cunning of his brothers and led them to many a victory, as his stratagems usually won the day when the brute strength of his brothers failed. | |

The Movement: Discussed when one of the captured cops asks the wheelchair user Vengeance Moth if she's the one who set up the headquarters to be off the power grid with an internet connection, which she denies. This may also be a Mythology Gag to Gail Simone's earlier work on Birds of Prey, which features the wheelchair user super hacker Oracle, and a reference to the fact that people made comparisons when Vengeance Moth was first introduced. | |

Batman: Barbara Gordon started out as Batgirl, being presented as reasonably sharp. Then she was shot and paralyzed by the Joker, and suddenly remembered that she had an eidetic memory and world-class hacking, strategic, and organizational skills, and she became the information broker Oracle. The reboot version of Barbara, on the other hand, eventually regained the ability to walk after three years of being paralyzed, but flashbacks show that Barbara's smarts were there well before she was shot. Harold Allnut was a mute hunchback who served for years as Batman's mechanic and was a genius with gadgets and technology. In Red Robin the original Anarky becomes Tim's Voice with an Internet Connection while recovering from being poisoned and temporarily paralyzed. One of the cruel animal experiments performed by the villain of the Ace the Bat-Hound story "Hounded" in Batman: Urban Legends was to remove a chicken's legs while teaching her to play chess, to see if the lack of motor functions meant her neural pathways could be rerouted. She gets around in a little wheelchair she controls by pecking at a computer, and her creator has no idea just how smart she's become. |

Naturally, Hawking beats everyone. After all, how could you tell if he's bluffing? His tone of voice?. Star Trek: Discovery: The character of Aurellio, who was introduced in the episode There is a Tide, was born with a birth defect that confined him to a hoverchair.note The character was created to allow Kenneth Mitchell to appear in Season 3 after ALS confined Mitchell to a wheelchair. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Doran Martell uses a wheelchair due to extreme gout. And yet, he's more dangerous than many of the other great lords who are on their feet. Even Tywin speaks of him with respect. Dwarf Tyrion Lannister is at least the second most intelligent person in the series. Willas Tyrell has a crippled right leg from a jousting accident, and if it weren't for Obern Martell screaming for the maesters to help Willas, the heir to Highgarden would have lost his leg. So instead of being a knight, as his father wanted, Willas indulges in scholarly studies, with him even writing letters to Oberyn (to whom he bears no ill will) about horses. |

In Futurama, Stephen Hawking is part of a group of nerds who travel in a school bus and use murder to solve many of their problems. In other episodes, Hawking's head shows up in a "way cool rocket" equipped with lasers. Oh, and he's at a huge science convention. And apparently has lasers in his eyes. Even he didn't know he was that awesome. | |

Code Geass: Subverted with Nunnally vi Britannia. While not a genius on the level of her brother Lelouch, blind and wheelchair-using Nunnally joins Schneizel, successfully convinces him to hand over the key to the F.L.E.I.J.A. warheads, and comes up with a plan that's eerily similar to Lelouch's, focusing all the world's hatred on a single target (in this case, Damocles). However, this is actually all part of Schneizel's latest Xanatos Gambit, which he starts off by lying to Nunnally about Pendragon and his own motives, and later on intends to abandon Damocles with her on it after setting it to self-destruct in order to thwart Lelouch, and later on build another fortress and stockpile even more FLEIJAs, this time, with no one else to stop him or claim sovereignty over Britannia. So Nunnally basically becomes an Unwitting Pawn. Though she does wise up and then becomes a decent Empress after the Grand Finale. | |

Touhou Project: Although Patchouli Knowledge has no specific disabilities, she is depicted as having a very fragile constitution. "It seems that she's capable of very powerful magic of all kinds, using many elements in a single spell, but due to asthma and general poor health she's often unable to recite her spells." A popular fan observation is that she doesn't get nearly enough vitamin D. | |

In/Spectre: Downplayed with protagonist Iwanaga Kotoko, a genius young woman who was chosen by the youkai of Japan to become their "Goddess of Wisdom" (a Token Human advisor and mediator figure); one of the requirements for the post was for her to assume the image of a one-eyed one-legged deity (i.e. her right eye and left leg were amputated). She usually hides her disability with realistic prosthetics, and is athletic enough that she can still walk and run without much difficulty (while she does carry a cane, she says it's only at her parents' insistence). | |

Spider-Man: Alistair Smythe, the inventor of many a Spider-Slayer, at least until he turns himself into a cyborg. Probably best remembered as the Kingpin's snarky, Super Wheelchair-driving aide-de-camp in Spider-Man: The Animated Series. In his Rewritten origin story, Morbius was this before being "cured" by becoming a living vampire. He won a Nobel prize but couldn't attend the ceremony due to his frailty. He walked with a cane and lifting a full cup of tea would break the bones in his fingers. |

His intelligence is also more emphasised in the second game since he can no longer sell things past the start of the day. He's a kindergarten-aged Gadgeteer Genius who can modify or disarm a bomb, has a laser cannon in his wheelchair that he likely built himself, knows how to synthesise the drugs that Ms. Applegate is addicted to, and can read. | |

As per the source material, The Emperor in If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device is hooked up to a giant machine to "rule" his empire. Except he isn't near the brink of death and instead has been trying to communicate since the Horus Heresy, as his mind is still in control of his body despite a fragment of his soul shining in the Warp. Once he has a text-to-speech device installed, he immediately starts bitching about how terrible his empire has become and begins a plan to take control again, succeeding in playing everyone, including his "son", Fallen Primarch Magnus the Red, and the Inquisition, in a massive plan that hinges on everyone acting like themselves. | |

Warhammer: Although a fairly mild example, High Loremaster Teclis qualifies. Teclis suffers from considerable physical infirmity — highly unusual among the normally disease-free High Elves — such that he is only kept alive thanks to magical potions and the powers of his formidable magical items. Were it not for these measures he would probably have died in childhood, and even with them, he is still more feeble than any other elf in the game. Teclis is, however, the most powerful wizard in this age of the world, and possessed of a brilliant, obsessively analytical mind. Venerable Lord Kroak has perhaps the most crippling of all disabilities — he's dead. Not undead, just the ordinary not-moving-about kind. And although it has robbed him of most of his vast magical ability, he's still a very powerful wizard, even in this state. To a lesser degree, even the living Slann come under this trope, as they are all but immobile thanks to their bloated, lethargic physiques and the terrible psychic strain that living in such a chaotic and disordered world has wrought on their minds. However, they're far more intelligent than the other Lizardmen, serving as priests, wizards, and leaders. The Daemon Kairos Fateweaver is also a formidably powerful sorcerer, but shriveled and feeble thanks to his experience being thrown into the Well of Eternity. He's also blind to the present (although one of his two heads can see the past and the other the future), which means that he is virtually incapable of fighting in close combat. |

Doctor Who: The recurring villain Davros is usually injured/old enough that he can only control a single arm; his own wheelchair-like life support apparatus and cybernetic eye are implicitly the inspiration for the "travel machines" used by his infamous creations, the Daleks. Julian Bleach, one of the actors to portray him, called the character "a cross between Stephen Hawking and Hitler." The Cybus Industries Cybermen were created by John Lumic, also an Evil Cripple. He's a wheelchair user and has a wealth of life-support instruments hooked up. The Face of Boe is a virtually all-knowing entity that has been around for billions of years... and just happens to be a gigantic, withered head in a life-support tank. His probable identity — Jack Harkness after eons of Age Without Youth — is quite a shock. "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" features a brilliant but crippled scientist named Dortmund. Doctor Judson, the wheelchair-using computer scientist in "The Curse of Fenric". Who gets very grumpy about his medical assistant treating him as helpless: |

When brilliant scientist Seth Brundle allows Veronica to see him again after a month's estrangement, his ongoing, accelerating mutation into a Half-Human Hybrid having progressed significantly in the interim, he is using two canes to slowly walk because he's hunched over and cannot maintain his balance otherwise. When she sees him again a few days later, however, he has not only adjusted to a Primal Stance but is downright jumpy and spry — due in part to discovering an ability to Wall Crawl. | |

Katawa Shoujo: Rin Tezuka is an artistic child prodigy and a genius in every sense of the word (in real life, "genius" doesn't refer exclusively to people who are good with numbers) who gets accepted on a full scholarship to a prestigious Tokyo art school at the age of 18, and was born with a severe birth defect that resulted in both her arms being amputated just below the shoulder (and is heavily implied to also have an autism spectrum disorder on top of that). Shizune Hakamichi is basically perfect at everything she does except for interpersonal relationships, academically excellent, a master manipulator, and can effortlessly beat a chess enthusiast at her own game while giving her a psychological analysis based on her play style. She was also born deaf. |

Dexter's Laboratory has a Stephen Hawking send-up called Professor Hawk, whose software factory is a technological Willy Wonka send-up itself. And in a subversion, he's not actually disabled, just too lazy to walk. Once he comes under the influence of DeeDee, he sheds his jet-bird-shell-thing and takes up interpretive dance. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation's "Descent": Data plays poker against Holograms of famous geniuses, including Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Stephen Hawking (who plays himself and is famous for being so crippled that he can't even talk). Naturally, Hawking beats everyone. After all, how could you tell if he's bluffing? His tone of voice?. | |
