The Teen Genius is just that: a genius who happens to be a teenager. This character is responsible for coming up with the magical answer to any given episode's problem, while at the same time being generally angsty and teen-like. May be exposed to discrimination by those that don't know them, because they're Just a Kid. Oddly, the Teen Genius will not normally have any of the odd behavioral quirks of the TV Genius, even if the series lasts long enough to let them mature into an adult. A version of where smart kids and teens can relate to their maturity, they are Wise Beyond Their Years. On a show with an ensemble cast, the teen genius is usually included as a (generally misguided) attempt to appeal to a teen audience. On a show with a teenaged Competence Zone, this is about the only way for the Five-Man Band to include The Smart Guy. A Teen Genius may sometimes also be Book Dumb, despite the apparent contradiction. A younger version is the Child Prodigy. |

Homura Akemi, from Puella Magi Madoka Magica initially appears as this trope, being able to complete all sorts of difficult classwork despite just transferring from the hospital. This is later revealed to be a result of her "Groundhog Day" Loop, since she has done all the work in previous timelines. | |

Astrid Ellison of the GONE series) Has a IQ of over 150, can quote whole passages of classical literature (Including Dickins, Shakespeare, Hemingway, Bronte) and learnt to read aged two...Did we mention she's only 14 when first introduced? She's more a literary and book-based genius than a scientific or mathematical one, though. While we're on that series, Computer Jack is just twelve and he's handling all of the FAYZ's tech issues. |

Kiyoshiro Higashimitarai in Digimon Ghost Game is 14 years old and has a Master's degree from a university in America. He chose to still attend middle school in Japan because he's also a massive otaku who wanted the "authentic Japanese school experience" like in his manga. He's shown to be a talented computer engineer, to the point that he was put in charge of an entire power plant he helped develop and works as an IT consultant for a major corporation. | |

In Get Backers, most of the major characters are this. Though two extreme examples that have been countlessly lampshaded are Ban Midou and Makubex. Ban has been called a brilliant genius in fighting (though, according to his witch grandmother, "worthless in everything else") ever since he was a kid, and is currently the strongest character in the entire series. And Makubex is a 13 year old computer genius that other characters constantly claim is a Teen Genius. | |

Bleach: Uryuu Ishida is the top academic performer in a 300-strong year group with Bunny-Ears Lawyer tendencies. When he fought Mayuri, who had spent decades studying Quincies and their powers, Mayuri observed that his abilities were way beyond what he'd expect of a 15 year-old...in fact he used some techniques Mayuri had never even heard of before and one-shotted Mayuri and his bankai with a single arrow. It's been made clear by Uryuu's father, Ryuuken, that Uryuu's power still underdeveloped, meaning that what we saw was only a fraction of his real ability. Orihime Inoue is the third best academic performer in Uryuu's year group and a full-blown Ditzy Genius. She also has spiritual powers that may directly manipulate space-time, which are so unusual and have so much potential that Aizen was interested. So unusual, and so much potential, that Aizen kidnapping her was enough for Soul Society to mobilize against him. It's been stated that the limit of her ability is defined by what she believes she can do with it. In the Everything but the Rain flashback arc, Uryuu's father Ryuuken seems to be a Teen Genius as well. Even Aizen admits that Urahara is the smartest person in the series, but Ryuuken, as a mere human teenager, is able to follow Urahara's thought processes well enough to startle him into praising the boy. |

Fire Emblem has several of these, some of them being very important in their plots: Roy of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade is possibly one of the best examples of a Guile Hero lord in the series, having a knowledge of politics and how to manipulate them, as well as being able to lead a 50-or-so strong army, despite being one of the youngest ones ever at the ripe old age of 15. Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade has Nino, a fourteen year-old prodigy that, if trained correctly, can demolish most bosses. In her supports with Erk, he wonders at how she can use magic, since she Never Learned to Read. She replies that she "just" watched her mother use magic and memorized the chants, which take years of study to learn normally. It's possible for The Avatar/Robin in Fire Emblem: Awakening to be this with either the default or the younger builds; while it's unknown how old he/she is, they don't look any older than in their late teens. Fire Emblem Fates has Prince Leo of Nohr, Prince Takumi of Hoshido, and potentially The Avatar again. The three are in the mid-to-late teens age range, with the Avatar as the eldest of the three, and yet the three are seasoned and talented fighters. The first two are explicitly referred to as geniuses. Lysithea von Ordelia from Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the youngest student of the Garreg Mach academy, as well as one of the smartest, hard-working and most capable magic-wise. She also gains experience at double the usual speed thanks to her personal skill. Since she was a subject for experiments by a shadowy cabal that boosted her magic abilities at the cost of her health, Lysithea knows that she can't afford to waste her remaining time and feels compelled to work intensively to fulfill all of her plans and goals. |

Great Teacher Onizuka: Urumi Kanzaki was a Child Prodigy, doing differential calculus in elementary school, and as a teenager has an Improbably High I.Q. of over 200 and speaks 5 languages. Unfortunately, she was also an Insufferable Genius as a kid, and has turned into a Manipulative Bitch by the time she meets Onizuka. She eventually comes around, and becomes one of his strongest supporters. Until Urumi was introduced, Kikuchi was this, though afterwards he was relegated to The Smart Guy. |

Since Gotham is a Batman prequel series, the show has a few of these in the form of future heroes and villains. Bruce Wayne is an adorably precocious kid/teenager at the beginning of the show, who eventually grows into a frighteningly competent older teenager and young adult. Several of the villains also count. Jonathan Crane is a teenager when he helps his father test and develop the first fear toxin, and is later able to make other toxins without his father's help, even though he probably didn't make it far enough into his formal education to get a high school diploma, unlike his comic counterpart. Jerome Valeska, a Captain Ersatz of the Joker, is also a teenager when he first becomes a terrifying monster clown terrorist. Even though he doesn't seem to have traditional intellectual interests, his ability to plan widespread destruction and outsmart older and more experienced characters when he's only eighteen shows that he probably has a genius level of intelligence. Not to mention that his identical twin, Jeremiah Valeska, was enough of a prodigy to become an engineer by the age of fifteen, and their inborn talents probably aren't different, despite what Jeremiah likes to imply about his twin's intelligence. (Jeremiah himself, though a former teen genius, was introduced in the show when he was slightly older.) | |

Naruto: Naruto has Shikamaru Nara who has an IQ over 200. He's so smart that everything seems boring to him. Also Itachi Uchiha who had done everything from reaching the very top of his career (Anbu Captain), to joining the most powerful criminal organization as a spy by the time he was only 13 years old. Kakashi Hatake and Minato Namikaze (who would later on become the Fourth Hokage) were also teen geniuses when they were young. Orochimaru, too. The ninja world has a lot of geniuses, which is to say prodigies. Over 50% of them go violently bananas. Sakura Haruno deserves a mention in this category for passing the first Chuunin exam test, which was deliberately designed to be so difficult as to force the participants to cheat, simply by understanding the questions and working out the answers. She was the only test-taker shown to pass without cheating, which is saying something considering that one of said test-takers was the aforementioned Shikamaru. |

The fact that Shiori "Robo" Saginomiya of Wasteful Days of High School Girls may have been among the national top ten in middle school breathes of this trope. Funny Background Event further indicates she is somewhat of an Omnidisciplinary Scientist as well, as she seen playing with petri dishes, soldering a PCB, and measuring chemicals on a scale, all on her school desk. | |

Harry Potter: Hermione Granger. Though never directly shown, Dumbledore, Voldemort, Grindelwald, McGonagall, Lily Potter (née Evans), Severus Snape, and the Marauders (who became Animagi by their fifth year at Hogwarts!) are all implied to have been Teen Geniuses in their own times. McGonagall even had a paper published in Transfiguration Today while she was still a student. Fred and George Weasley may have earned three OWLs each, but they are capable of advanced magic and become successful businessmen after dropping out of Hogwarts... at 18 years old. While Percy is a pompous Jerkass, he had to have been pretty smart to have become Junior Assistant to the Minister of Magic... also at 18 years old. Though that whole 18 years old thing may be justified, as we never read even a single mention in the series about any Wizarding Colleges. |

Gundam ZZ's Glemmy Toto is a villainous example, being a competent (if not spectacular) mobile suit pilot, a superb chessmaster, capable public speaker, and a political machinator of the first order at the ripe old age of seventeen. Haman Kahn is all but stated to have been one, too. At age 16 she was put in charge of the Axis Zeon leadership and became the caretaker of little Mineva Lao Zabi. At age 20, she has become The Chessmaster and a foe to fear. |

Technically, the entire cast of Food Wars! qualifies, being world-class chefs in spite of still being in high-school, but even here there are some standouts. To wit: Alice Nakiri holds a dozen patents related to molecular gastronomy and has been a fixture in Totsuki's R&D division for years. She's 16 at the time of writing. Eizan Etsuya is 17, and not only the holder of the ninth seat on the Council of Ten Masters, but also implied to be a significantly better cook than several of his nominal superiors. He also runs a food consulting business on the side, has handled over fivehundred cases in total, and made enough money to cover all Totsuki students' (that's about 1000 in high-school and an unknown number in middle school) tuition fees in his freshman year. Viciously deconstructed by Jouichiro Saiba. He became very good early on, and was pressured by his surroundings to reach even greater heights, but no-one acknowledged the hard work that made him who he was, and chalked all his successes up to 'genius'. The joy he had experienced evaporated in the face of pressure, and experimental cooking which he used to rediscover the joy and bring the expectations of his surroundings down a little didn't fill the hole. In the end, he had to leave both Totsuki and cooking behind to not suffer a complete nervous breakdown. |

Rose from Power Rangers Operation Overdrive was this in the backstory, but by 18 years old, she was already out of Harvard and working in a university in London. If she's 18, she's technically still a teenager. Also Dr. K in Power Rangers RPM. She starts with "abducted into government think tank by age 6" and goes from there (she's about 18 at the time of the series). |

Whateley Universe: A lot of the devisers and gadgeteers at Superhero School Whateley Academy. A good number of the exemplar kids also qualify, due to that nifty "exemplar mental package;" Stopwatch (a Crazy-Prepared Clock King type) comes to mind, as does Diamondback, who has been alluded to as having one of the highest IQ's in the freshman class, if not the whole school. Also Ayla, naturally; he's a teen financial genius, having been learning the ways of business and high finance roughly since he was able to talk. Jobe Wilkins, who is not only a frighteningly powerful bio-devisor but also has scads of patents in biological areas. He just developed a cure for dysentery. Problem? He's an amoral monster with all the empathy of a tarantula. Kaiju, however, is a genius that doesn't have any powers helping her. She just has the ability to transform into a reptilian form of some kind. As said in The Big Idea: |

While several characters of Hayate the Combat Butler are 13 and thus between this trope and Child Prodigy Hinagiku is 16 and thus qualifies for this one, as does Athena (supposedly). Maria is 17 at the time of the series, so she also falls here, though during her time at the school she was a Child Prodigy, having graduated at the age of 13, setting a school-wide record that has yet to be broken. |

And Dave manages to keep track of several said time loops in his head. (Granted, he does have help from Terezi.) While the Alpha kids are about 16, they still count. Dirk is an accomplished roboticist who designed an AI that very nearly passes the Turing Test. Roxy is a hacker and possibly the only protagonist to come close to Nannasprite's knowledge about Betty Crocker. Jake built Liv Tyler, aka the Uber-Bunny and he's only the third most talented roboticist. Jane hasn't quite shown her credentials yet, but she is the heiress to a multi-global empire. |

Resident Evil is a big fan of this trope: Rebecca Chambers had graduated from college and joined up with the elite S.T.A.R.S. police force as a medic by the time she was eighteen. William Birkin became Umbrella Corp's top scientist at sixteen. Carla Radames obtained her Ph.D. in genetics at fifteen. Chris Redfield joined the United States Air Force and became an accomplished pilot and marksman at the age of seventeen. Worth noting, it usually takes three years at minimum to achieve that. Due to conflict with his superiors, Chris was even apparently about to retire at just twenty five before joining S.T.A.R.S. |

Your Lie in April is full of middle schooler musical prodigies: Fourteen year old Kousei has been considered a Child Prodigy since age five, however after his mother's death at age twelve he quit due to the trauma. Thanks to Kaori's encouragement he is getting back into his groove. Takeshi and Emi are the same age as Kousei and have been playing for almost ten years. They get overshadowed by him though and that has made them both become his Unknown Rival. Takeshi's thirteen year old younger sister shows prowess at the piano, however unlike him she only began playing to get him to notice her and doesn't want to become professional. Kaori is quite a skilled violinist, however due to the fact she is Secretly Dying she doesn't get to do it much. |

After becoming Papillon, Chouno retained all his intelligence, and by the end of the series his research enabled him to create black and white kakugane, something only one other alchemist in history had been able to so. | |

The most recent examples are from Gundam AGE: first-generation Flit Asuno and his grandson Kio from the third generation. Flit was 14 when he built his Gundam from the blueprints left by his dead mother, Kio began piloting when he was 13 (though in a subversion, his grandpa had been sort-of training him via the videogames that he brought for the kid.) | |

Various flavors of this show up in The Owl House: Willow and Gus are prodigies at their chosen schools of magic. Willow was able to turn a single seed into a vast network of vines that covered the whole school without any formal training; meanwhile Gus is a natural illusionist who skipped two grades in school, and considers becoming a Master of Illusion so easy that it's the bare minimum he wants for his future. Amity Blight is the star pupil of the Abomination track, was chosen to be Grom Queen (i.e. having the responsibility to fight for the fate of the entire Boiling Isles single-handedly) and has been marked out as a potential future Head Witch or member of the Emperor's Coven. This is due to a combination of natural talent and working incredibly hard. Luz Noceda has no inherent magic, but has studied all schools of magic, and essentially invented/discovered glyph magic by herself. Zig-Zagged by The Golden Guard/Hunter. Regime propaganda depicts him as a teen prodigy and master of all forms of magic although he's actually powerless. However he's a self-taught expert in the theory of magic and has even studied Wild Magic against the orders of Emperor Belos. A flashback shows that Eda Clawthorne, Lilith Clawthorne and Raine were all this. Eda was the Brilliant, but Lazy variant while Lilith had less natural talent but was much more hard working and studious. Raine was also incredibly gifted and kind of struck a balance between the Clawthorne sisters, they didn't goof off all the time like Eda but didn't work themself to death like Lilith either. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: The Iron Man movie confirms that Tony Stark was already a genius back when he was a teenager; he graduated top of his class from MIT with a prize-winning invention when he was 17 and cracked the Pentagon's firewall on a dare at the same age. Shuri from Black Panther is 16 and already the head of the Wakandan Design Group, in addition to having several inventions under her belt — including T'Challa's "Sneakers" and the usage of vibranium as an energy source. Peter Parker from Spider-Man: Homecoming is 15 and, without any previous exposure to a lab or engineering, managed to make unprecedented synthetic webs (and web-shooters) with supplies he scrounged from the dumpster and his high school chemistry lab. He also seems to possess an aptitude for physics, and mentioned designing, building, and programming computers with scraps from the garbage in his spare time. |

Iron Man: Tony Stark. While all comic stories featuring him show him as an adult, it's said he graduated from MIT with double majors in physics and engineering at the age of 17, having started college when he was 14. Tony also mentions discovering sterile neutrinos on a bet at some point in his teenage years, and he has three doctorates, which he apparently earned at Cambridge University between the ages of 17 and 21. | |

Zera from Lychee Light Club is a certified genius at the age of 13. His sanity may be questioned but he came up with a thinking machine that somehow runs on lychee fruits, his chess skills are superb. More, the prequel shows that in elementary school he constructed a robot all by himself which makes him a Child Prodigy too. Dentaku is also very smart, he programmed Lychee. And against all odds Jaibo may also qualify. For the most part he acts like the psychotic pretty boy but he did manage to frame the original members of the club in such a way so as to completely fool Zera. Unfortunately his psychotic tendencies downplay his intelligence. | |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls Sunset Shimmer is described as a genius in the tie-in novels. She's good at just about everything she tries, including creating a cell phone app that lets someone digitally see what they would look like in a set of clothes, and is at or near the top of all of her classes. Also, she's pretty much the human world's only real authority on magic, having to help guide her friends on its power once it starts showing up. When she appears, Twilight Sparkle's human-world counterpart is shown to be even smarter than Sunset. One of the music video shorts shows her using mad science to create a robot pal for her dog, Spike. And when she and Sunset Shimmer competed in a math competition in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games, both were solving a complicated math problem at an equal pace, but in the end Sunset only barely loses by being just a few digits off, while Twilight gets the correct answer. The difference is that while Sunset is good at everything but the best at nothing, Twilight is mentally peerless, but is incredibly shy and The Millstone in any kind of physical activity. |

Agatha Heterodyne of Girl Genius is a Spark (AKA a super Mad Scientist). She is eighteen when her Power Limiter is removed and her power awakens, which makes her a borderline example of this trope. She had briefly been a Child Prodigy in her youth as well, as it was her abnormally early breakthrough that made the Power Limiter necessary. | |

All the teen-aged fighters in The King of Fighters have elements of this, but some are more notorious: The Protagonist, Kyo Kusanagi, is said to have properly dominated his pyrokinetic powers and surpassed his father's own skills when he was 15 years old (which is also the time when his Big Brother Mentor and cousin Souji almost lost himself to his darker side and thus asked Kyo to replace him as the family leader). Then, he became the winner of the All-Japan Martial Arts Tournament at age 18, and the Team Japan leader at age 19. The rest is history. A subtler example is Yuri Sakazaki. She only started training when she was 16-17, and yet she mastered the basics and low techniques of the Kyokugenryu Karate within a year. She didn't stop there, but started imitating other people's techniques as seen above - and developed her own. (Like the infamous Hyakuretsu Binta and her own Super Special, the Hien Hou-oh Kyaku.) The biggest one, however, is Ash Crimson. He becomes the Villain Protagonist, depowers the much more experienced Chizuru and Iori, brews one HELL of a Batman Gambit and reveals himself as a Good All Along figure via saving the world from Those Of the Past when he gets himself and his ancestor ret goned... while being only in his mid-to-late teens. |

All children of Athena in Percy Jackson and the Olympians , although most notably Annabeth Chase (who starts off a child prodigy but evolves into a teen genius in book 2). She is a archaeological based genius, who knows of every great building in the world along with its exact measurements, perimeter, area, when and by who it was built, and its historical significance. She also possesses an adept talent for general knowledge, being able to answer every question the Sphinx asks her in book 4 and complaining that it was too easy, while the rest of the rather intelligent group couldn't answer one question. She is such an insanely smart architect that the literal GODS made her Olympus's official architect. She builds palaces for divine beings. That's how badass smart she is. |

Actually, the Gundam metaseries has several of these. Amuro Ray and Kamille Vidan were gifted Gadgeteer Geniuses at age 15 and 17, with Kamille even being well-known as an amateur engineer which is vital when he actually designs the Zeta Gundam itself. Judau Ashta piloted his mecha at age 14 (a little younger than the Wing boys), and Usso Ebin straddles the line between this and Child Prodigy got his's at age 13 (Justified Trope: he was trained by his parents beforehand). Gundam ZZ's Glemmy Toto is a villainous example, being a competent (if not spectacular) mobile suit pilot, a superb chessmaster, capable public speaker, and a political machinator of the first order at the ripe old age of seventeen. Haman Kahn is all but stated to have been one, too. At age 16 she was put in charge of the Axis Zeon leadership and became the caretaker of little Mineva Lao Zabi. At age 20, she has become The Chessmaster and a foe to fear. The most recent examples are from Gundam AGE: first-generation Flit Asuno and his grandson Kio from the third generation. Flit was 14 when he built his Gundam from the blueprints left by his dead mother, Kio began piloting when he was 13 (though in a subversion, his grandpa had been sort-of training him via the videogames that he brought for the kid.) |

Lost contains a former Teen Genius: Daniel Faraday was a professor at Oxford and doing time travel experiments by the time he was 19 and he had already graduated sometime in his early to mid teens-explicitly said to be the youngest ever graduate. Then he did said experiments on his own girlfriend, something that went so badly that Oxford wiped any record of him ever having taught there-and by the time we meet him, he's 27 and has memory problems so bad he needs a constant caretaker. | |

Tangled: The Series has Varian, the 14-year-old alchemist and engineer. It turns out to be a Deconstructed Character Archetype. Varian is truly a genius the likes of which Corona hasn't known for ages, but he doesn't have the wisdom or emotional maturity to match his brains. He frequently doesn't plan things out, and often overlooks safety. Both of these lead to many of his inventions dangerously failing, and him accidentally encasing his dad in amber. He isn't willing to accept his part in the latter and can't see the moral issue with holding Rapunzel and Corona responsible. Ultimately his intelligence and the state of his emotional maturity are what cause him to pull a Face–Heel Turn, because he can't realize that he isn't as logical as he thinks he is. | |

17-year-old Shinichi Kudo and Heiji Hattori in Case Closed both have vast amounts of knowledge and mental abilities superior to most of the adults around them. Shiho Miyano, on the other hand, led The Syndicate's lab before she's 18. This trope tends to be somewhat obscured in Shin'ichi and Shiho's cases by the fact that they spends most of the series in even younger bodies, thus giving them the appearance of Child Prodigies. In the sister series, Magic Kaito, both Kaito Kuroba/Kaitou Kid and Saguru Hakuba also qualify as this. |

Code Geass: First and foremost, Lelouch Lamperouge, who planned on toppling a continent-spanning empire even before he gained Hypnotic Eyes. Nina Einstein also qualifies for inventing and (almost) building the first nuclear bomb from the contents of a school lab. She later succeeds when provided with some funding. Lelouch is also a subversion in that at the the start of the series, he is bored to death and extremely pessimistic. Mariel from the Alternate Continuity manga Suzaku of the Counterattack has a PhD and is described as being only a year older than Suzaku. |

Ciel of Mega Man Zero created Copy-X, a near-perfect duplicate of Thomas Light's greatest work, when she was six years old and devised a completely new energy source before she'd finished her teenage years. ZX's backstory indicates she also created the biometals sometime after the Zero series. Girl gets around, doesn't she? Tron Bonne certainly counts. Aside from the fact that she created the 40 Servbots, most of the machines she makes are made from spare parts, such as a train and Bruno in the first game. She was 13 in the first game (and her spinoff) and 14 in the second. |

After graduating, she starts going to an American university and studying alternate timelines and multiple world theory. | |

Bryce Lynch from Max Headroom. The original TV movie version of Bryce was completely unlikable and a bona fide villain but the version from the TV version is one of the most likeable examples of this trope, in large part because he was depicted as a normal teenage boy who happened to be a genius. The TV series Bryce could be a Ditzy Genius at times and had much the same sense of humour as any 15-year-old boy. He could just do cooler stuff. |

A.N.T. Farm: The ANTs are part of the Advanced Natural Talents, or ANT, scheme which allows gifted middle-school kids to go to High School several years early. Each child is talented in one particular direction, however: music, art, computers, an eidetic memory and so on. In Real Life of course it's unlikely that their talents alone would allow them to skip grades. The ANTs are teen geniuses in their individual specialism but not in a more general sense. | |

There's a ludicrous number of teen geniuses in Marvel. Amadeus Cho is probably the smartest, but there's also David Alleyne/Prodigy of the Young X-Men, Victor Mancha of the Runaways and Jonas/Vision II and Kate Bishop/Hawkeye II of the Young Avengers. And that's even without including the ghost of Alex Wilder (Runaways again) and the currently MIA Kristoff Vernard von Doom (the adopted son of Doctor Doom, and while he's aided by having the majority of Doom's knowledge downloaded into him, clearly Doom would never think of choosing somebody without brains of their own as his heir). | |

Legion of Super-Heroes: Brainiac 5. All Coluans are smarter than humans, and his family moreso than everyone else. The first Invisible Kid was said to be a genius by human standards as well and created his own invisibility serum. In the Reboot Legion it was established that, while Brainy was smarter, Invisible Kid combined his smarts with imagination - it was Brainiac 5 who created an anti-gravity metal, but it was Invisible Kid who used it to create flight rings. |

Tedd in El Goonish Shive is a Teen Genius overlapping with Mad Scientist. As time has passed, most of his wacky inventions have been retconned to no longer be his own, edging him out of this trope, but he's still the smartest member of the cast. He's still managed to adapt the technology a lot and the Aliens who gave it to him in the first place couldn't even begin to fix it, so his genius title remains. |

Billie Starkz, currently performing in Ring of Honor, started training in wrestling at age 13 and made her debut a few months later, working the indy circuit on weekends and school breaks before her high school graduation in 2023. Interestingly, she couldn't train or perform in her home state of Kentucky until turning 18, the youngest age at which anyone can train or perform in that state. Fortunately for her wrestling career, there was a wrestling school directly across the Ohio River from her hometown of Louisville in Jeffersonville, Indiana, a state where wrestling wasn't subject to regulation at the time. She arguably qualifies outside the ring as well; she was a high school valedictorian while enrolled in the rigorous International Baccalaureate progrem. | |

Dragon Ball has a few examples: Bulma starts out as one, particularly when it comes to machinery. She built the Dragon Ball Radar at age 15-16, without any leads and only with her hands and own knowledge, basically kicking off the events of the whole series-and shortly after graduating from college to boot. Future Trunks, who while a teen utilized Time Travel to inform the Z-fighters of the events that led to a Crapsack World. (And using a time travel machine that Bulma herself built before dying in that Bad Future, too.) Son Gohan has always been a scholarly type, and goes out of his way to attend school in his teen years. Tighs from Jaco the Galactic Patrolman had already graduated from college at 16. Fittingly, the manga's final chapter reveals she's Bulma's older sister. |

Dubious Company's Future High Priestess Sal. She is in her late teens and is easily one of the smartest characters in the comic's universe. Also, to a lesser extent, her bodyguard Leeroy. He branched into more physical training after realizing he Can't Catch Up. Walter and Izor might have been in their youth. |

Lou Thesz had already successfully "worked" a match in a legitimate amateur wrestling tournament without anyone catching on before he turned pro at 16. "The Strangler" Ed Lewis decided to instruct young Thesz in hooking, believing he had world champion material, although Thesz wouldn't become a world champion until age 21, which is still younger than anyone else ever had, just too old for this trope. | |

A surprising number of students at the Beacon Hills High School on Teen Wolf qualify for this trope. Stiles is extremely intuitive and exhibits a wide breadth of knowledge on many topics. Lydia is a brilliant chemist, and also knows both archaic and classical Latin (and probably other languages as well). Danny is a skilled hacker and knows how to write software. Matt is a photography/videography expert. Interestingly, in each of these cases there's something of a catch though. Stiles has ADD, meaning he's smart but struggles to focus, Lydia hides her IQ to avoid Intelligence Equals Isolation (and also seems to lose a chunk of mental stability with each season, Danny has a juvenile delinquent record for hacking something he shouldn't have, and Matt turns out to be a stalker and a serial killer. Sort of. It's complicated. |

The Gallagher Girls series has Elizabeth Sutton who is 13-18 throughout the course of the series, and was so smart she joined MENSA by the age of 8 and was published in Scientific American aged only 9.

Susan Sto Helit in Soul Music is something of an Insufferable Genius - a near-Straw Vulcan who knows she knows more than all her classmates and most of her teachers, but doesn't know is why pointing this out doesn't make her popular. (It doesn't even make her top of the class; she's doing badly at Literature because she doesn't see the point of poetry and fiction.) In later books she's both grown up and learned that believing in logic on the Discworld is fine as long as you don't expect reality to co-operate. | |

She also gains experience at double the usual speed thanks to her personal skill.

Considering that they are artificial life forms less than a year old, they are in fact very young. Molly's personality is overtly and unapologetically childlike.

The audience and female lead only meet him as a thirtysomething but according to another character, he was shortlisted for the Nobel Prize in Physics at the age of 20, when he led a team of fellow scientists on a project. The sequel The Fly II has his Spin-Offspring Martin, who ages mentally and physically at four times the normal rate, grow from a Child Prodigy into this. | |

He is only 15 when the entirety of humanity turns to stone and remains so physically and mentally when he revives, even though by now he is technically over 3700 years old. He is able to use his encyclopedic knowledge of chemistry and physics to bring back Lost Technology like metalworking, glassblowing, gunpowder, and eventually even wireless phones, all in a world that has regressed to the stone age. | |

Eyeshield 21: Hiruma Youichi, who first learned poker from American soldiers stationed in Japan. After losing the first hand, he figured out the rules without anyone telling him and proceeded to gamble his way into taking all of the soldiers' money. By high school, he can count cards in blackjack and earn a ridiculous profit and has managed to figure out a way to get blackmail material on nearly everyone in the country, and many outside the country. Subverted in the World Cup arc when it's made clear that even with all their abilities, most of the talented players in the series still aren't quite at the NFL level yet (though they're still incredibly talented for the high school and possibly college level). |

Sachi, one of the heroines of Sharin no Kuni, is explicitly said to have an IQ of 140, is a prodigy-level painter, and something of a math wiz. She pales in comparison to the protagonist, Kenichi, who's in the final stages of what amounts to government sponsored Ãœbermensch training, which means he has a college level education already, as well as having a resume of accomplishments that'd be impressive for a person of any age. He can expound on complicated concepts at the drop of a hat and has to consciously tone himself down so as not to be an Insufferable Genius. | |

Jeremie from Code Lyoko (though angst is more Ulrich's department). Aelita certainly also qualifies in this area (but she's older than she looks). She's only chronologically older. Being a Sealed Good in a Can made her not age past 11-13, and she was in stasis for 10 years, which makes one assume that she wasn't aging in any sense. |

Justified has Loretta McCready teenage daughter of the late Walt McCready and Bastard Understudy to Mags Bennett, Big Bad of Season 2. Since Mags' death, Loretta has secured control over much of Harlan County's weed trade, going up against the likes of Dickie Bennett, Hot-Rod Dunham, and Avery Markham in the process, and consistently coming out on top, due to her ability to play the odds and get U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens on side. | |

Theresa "Tessa" Testarossa, Sagara Sosuke, and Kaname Chidori from Full Metal Panic!. In fact, all Whispered are Teen Geniuses, as they are all exactly the same age to within three minutes. There's a reason for this. | |

Rakugo Tennyo Oyui's Suzu Koishikawa. She's already got a university-level degree when we see her at the start of the series, and as such her only friend is a scientist at least twice her age. | |

All For Luz: All For One sincerely considers his protege, Luz Noceda, to be this with her Quirks, able to do a lot of Ability Mixing combos on the fly during the various fights she constantly wins. Not only do the vestiges don't degrade her mind as they tried to do with him, due to not seeing them as human, She awakened the All For One Quirk within a month, something most Quirk users fail to achieve in their entire lives. | |
