"Captain, the logical course of action in this situation is to let the inhabitants of Pupolon fend for themselves. We need the device keeping the planet's orbit stable, or risk endangering the very existence of The Federation. I am aware of the consequences for the local population, Doctor, but simply rushing in to 'save the high priestess' will leave us open to a Klingon ambush with a 78.52% probability of outright destruction. I realize this is a hard choice, Captain, but the needs of the many must outweigh the needs of the few."
The Spock is an archetype that can be loosely summed up as the tendency to apply rules, reason and the greater good to all of their decisions — in other words, a character who will always think before acting. This character can exist by themselves, but more often, they will have a more emotional and humanistic counterpart to contrast their decisions. The main difference between the two archetypes is that while The McCoy will leap before looking, The Spock's solution to problems will have a balanced and well-thought out approach. When put in a Power Trio (or Freudian Trio) with The Kirk and The McCoy, this character becomes the Superego.
The Spock's relationship with their crewmates/comrades is often tense, because this character type is willing and able to ruthlessly consider ethically troubling situations without batting an eye — especially situations where people might be ordered to die. While their counterpart The McCoy is interested in doing the right thing regardless of cost, The Spock is more interested in the end result. For them, everyone, (including themself) is expendable if it is necessary to complete the mission, and they have no problem treating people as such.
The Spock maintains audience sympathy by being willing to Take a Third Option and also by being as ruthless about their own life as the lives of their crewmates, if not more so. Even better, they are utterly unflappable in the face of serious problems or danger; their friends know that no matter how terrifying or hopeless things get, they will never lose their cool and will not stop working on a solution to save everyone (which The McCoy does respect about them). And finally, they are perfectly willing to hear out The McCoy.
The Spock will at times become a Tin Man, though this varies with the writing, and will often have No Sense of Humor. When they have emotion, they may sometimes express it with a Fascinating Eyebrow and nothing more. Since Smart People Play Chess, if The Spock plays a game, it will invariably be a variant of chess.
Closely related to The Stoic, Agent Scully, Emotionless Girl, and Little Miss Snarker. Often becomes a Straw Vulcan, but occasionally ends up on the winning side of Emotions vs. Stoicism. Probably sides with the Enlightenment in Romanticism Versus Enlightenment. Well Intentioned Extremists often come across similarly when they believe they're working for the greater good. See also Spock Speak.
This character type is Shoot the Dog personified.
Named (obviously) for Spock from Star Trek. Compare their eternal opposite, The McCoy.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Nelson has little time for humor and makes his decisions based on data and which option seems safer to him, regardless of whether they put people in danger or make him him seem unfeeling. He rarely, if ever, takes the time to apologize or reflect on his actions. However, he's usually right, and occasionally he'll compromise with people who oppose him if he thinks it won't ruin his plans.

In Shinrai: Broken Beyond Despair, Raiko is the Spock to Rie's The McCoy and Taiko's The Kirk. She's stone-faced and unemotional, resulting in Mika repeatedly trying to scare her, and keeps a cool head no matter how bad things get. She ends up being the Only Sane Man in the climax, in which she is the only survivor who doesn't accuse Kamen of the crime, so getting the right ending depends on her solving the mystery and convincing the others of her theories.

Advice and Trust: Rei always tries to be logical and rational. Her mindset is: logic makes things clearer and simpler. And thanks to that mindset she starts out to break Gendo's control upon her. She was being ordered to take a bunch of pills whose purpose was turning her into an emotionless doll. Asuka and Shinji warned her that her medication regimen was hazardous to her health. She researched, and her research proved Asuka was right. Ergo, Rei stopped taking her medication.

Taken: In "Jacob and Jesse", Jacob Clarke is a quiet and withdrawn boy who seldom expresses any real emotion regardless of the circumstances or the stimuli. However, he proves to be Not So Stoic when he is forced to leave his mother Sally after his family fake his death. He cries profusely since he knows that he may never see her again. These qualities diminish by the time that he becomes an adult. In "Maintenance" and "Charlie and Lisa", he is much more open about expressing his emotions, particularly his love for his daughter Lisa.

The Night Unfurls: Kyril isn't some robot whose pet phrase is "logic this, logic that", but the decisions he makes in both versions of the story evokes the image of the pragmatist who prefers cold reason, commits to a task and does what he has to do without batting an eye.
Original version: During the war against the Black Dogs, Kyril always chooses to take as few prisoners as possible (i.e., killing those who surrendered) rather than adhering to "battlefield courtesy". Faced with a rebellion in Ken, he chooses to quell it with force rather than to discuss terms with the rebels (it doesn't help that they are supporters of an Army of Thieves and Whores). When playing the role of flag officer, he puts emphasis on mapping out plans large and small, maintaining discipline and achieving results. Not glory or "fighting with your heart and soul".
Remastered version: After finding a den in Chapter 1, Kyril is more interested in dispassionately reporting the amount of orcs to kill as well as how the killing will proceed, in contrast to Alicia's concern for the orc victims. After dealing with an ambush in Chapter 2, Kyril's decision is to tell the others to stop grieving for their deadnote his reasoning being that i) the orcs will return soon, so if they keep staying, they all die, and ii) the dead are dead anyway and nothing will change that, take the reins, and continue on heading to the desired destination. In later chapters, he emphasises the importance of getting the job done, rather than saying things like "I believe in my heart" or "I don't want these people to suffer" or "it's the right thing to do". Even though he gains allies due to a lingering Good Samaritan instinct that he thought he had lost, he has not forgotten about weighing his optionsnote For example, he believes his allies may have a part to play in the uncertain times ahead, so he sees the act of abandoning them a wasteful action. This differs from something like "I won't leave them no matter what! It's wrong / They are my friends!".

Transformers: Generation 1:
Prowl, more so in The Transformers (Marvel) comics. IDW's take deconstructs this- Prowl's lack of empathy and I Did What I Had to Do attitude alienate him from the rest of the Autobots, even those who were previously his friends. During The Transformers: Robots in Disguise and The Transformers: Combiner Wars, it's show that his "logical" behavior isn't even that logical — he's motivated as much by a desire for revenge and lingering mental instability over his torture by the Decepticons and being made a part of Devastator.
Shockwave, though he's a villain. Typically it's considered his strength, as he can remain emotionally detached and not get distracted like Megatron or Starscream are prone to doing. Subverted in IDW's Spotlight: Shockwave, when he's unable to figure out a logical reason for why the Dinobots attacked him and begins losing the fight, only to realize that their reason is illogical: they're after revenge and he's only able to turn the fight around by deliberately activating an illogical rage mode.

Juror #4 (the stockbroker with wire rim glasses) from 12 Angry Men. He's one of the longest holdouts against Juror #8, but unlike #10, who is motivated by bigotry, or #3, who is projecting his family issues onto the case, #4 is simply not convinced by the circumstantial logic that #8 offers as reasonable doubt and sticks to the defendant's inability to remember the movies he claimed to see. He only changes his vote when #8 quizzes him on the last double-feature he saw and he's unable to remember basic details himself, proving that the defendant's claim is plausible after all.

Kane is this on The 100, always putting the rules of the Ark and The Needs of the Many ahead of everything else. However, he seems to recognize that sometimes a more warm-hearted approach is needed; he just can't provide it himself, and so prefers acting as second-in-command rather than The Leader.
Lexa is another example. She believes that love (and emotions in general) are a weakness, and is ruthless about sacrificing anyone, even herself or those close to her, if she believes it's what's best for her people.

The Dresden Files:
Mab to the extreme, in contrast with her sister Titania, who is The McCoy. Mab is utterly ruthless and pragmatic in pursuit of her goals of protecting reality from the Outsiders.
However, Mab is also The McCoy to her mother, Mother Winter, the ultimate pragmatist. Mother Winter calls Mab a softy because Mab won't kill Mab's own daughter Maeve when Maeve has become a traitor. Mab has just enough emotion and humanity left to find herself incapable of acting as she knows she should.

An episode of The Fairly Oddparents had Timmy wish he had no emotions, turning himself into this. He realizes he has nothing to do but think and answers famous questions, like why they couldn't build a boat on Gilligan's Island because it would end the series.

In Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida: Ulysses on the Greek side, with Agamemnon as The Kirk and Ajax as a fairly thickheaded variation on The McCoy. On the Trojan side, Hector fills this role, to Priam as Kirk and Troilus as The McCoy

Galaxy Angel: The Valfask, the main antagonists of the second and third games, are actually a subversion. They certainly believe they are this trope, as they consider that emotions are worthless, but constantly display arrogance, cruelty and triumphalism.

Final Fantasy XIV deconstructs this with Urianger, who at first seems to fulfill the role perfectly; over time, however, he finds the emotional toll of repeated Shoot the Dog choices too much to bear, and laments his own failure to seek a third option to take.

Jusqua of Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light thinks that he's this. When Horne is petrified, he doesn't go with Brandt and Yunita because they can find a way to lift the curse.

Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory. Lampshaded, as Sheldon considers his circle of friends one doctor short of a landing party, and has proclaimed himself the Spock. Sheldon might not be a full-fledged example of this trope, though. He's too self-centered to be detached from the situation, so to speak - but Leonard's mother, Beverly, fits this trope very well.

Ready Jet Go!:
Sean is studious and smart, and wants to grow up to be a great scientist and lead the first human mission to Mars. Sean is also concerned about his grades most of the time and uses the Scientific Method, as well as logical reasoning, to solve problems. Due to this, he has a terrible imagination.
Mitchell fills in this role in the Freudian Trio with Mindy and Lillian. Mitchell is socially awkward, a Perpetual Frowner, highly intelligent, and doesn't easily believe in the supernatural.
Dr. Rafferty serves this role in the Freudian Trio with Skelley and Bergs. While Rafferty is more open and friendly than most examples of the trope, she's the most intellectual of three and even though she's a Nervous Wreck at times, at least she has more self-composure than Bergs.

Alchemical Exalted have a trait called "Clarity" that tracks how much of this personality they accumulate; as they grow in Clarity, they become increasingly focused on pragmatic and efficient solutions and will place lower priority on compassionate activity, at the cost of becoming increasingly less emotional and having difficulty relating to other people (they also have some Charms that can harness Clarity to grant increased cognitive ability). Clarity is reduced by prolonged meaningful interaction with normal human beings (or, in the case of some Alchemicals, immersion in memories from their past lives).

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Ferdinand is very result-oriented and coldly rational to the point of caring more about the results than other people's feelings. He sacrificed the taste of his Mana-regenerating potions for efficiency to the point that others shudder at the thought of drinking them, while his idea of teaching others about the protagonist's poor health is having them spend time with her until she collapses in front of them. The two childhood companions with whom Ferdinand still spends a decent amount of time grew into a Manchild with a soft-to-a-fault side to him, and someone comparatively well-balanced in regards to the two other members of the group.

The Irregularat Magic High School has protagonist Tatsuya Shiba as a stoic master of battle tactics, magic, martial arts and engineering. He was designed to be this even before he was born as the result of a very large scale eugenics program conducted by his family. This is necessary considering his magic can literally disassemble and reassemble matter, leading to his emotions getting neutered and his relegation to serving as a bodyguard for his genetically altered sister, Miyuki.

Farscape:
Aeryn Sun is a minor tactical genius and never loses her cool...perhaps to her detriment, as the path of her relationship with Crichton is rocky and convoluted. She becomes more The Kirk as she goes along.
Sikozu and, after his Heel–Face Turn, Scorpius are perhaps the purest Spock members of the crew, having a tendency to be coldly pragmatic about problems.
Rygel is a slight subversion, as he has a tendency to on occasion claim his actions are for the best of the crew as a whole, but more often than not he's just being a greedy self-interested Jerkass. He has his moments, however.

Teal'c of Stargate SG-1 is sometimes The Spock, in that he has the same unflappability and (usually) rational thinking, though he's more The Stoic than a person who actually doesn't experience emotion (several episodes demonstrate he experiences emotions quite intensely, especially in relation to his family and in relation to his cause of freeing his people).

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc has Kyoko Kirigiri, who is coldly aloof, calculating, and emotionless. Celestia Ludenberg is one as well, saying they should abandon all attachment to the outside world and just accept their fate living in Hope's Peak, though ultimately subverted when it's revealed that she's so desperate to get out that she orchestrates a double murder. Byakuya Togami is a milder, crueler version.

Voort "Piggy" saBinring from Wraith Squadron. He's a Pig Man from a species more known for violent aggression and stupidity, but brain tampering made him into a Genius Bruiser, Good with Numbers and tending to be logical and calm. We see a bestial side exactly once, and it takes getting gut-shot to bring it out. Sort of similar to Vulcans, who practice emotional suppression precisely because their emotions are so violent and difficult to control compared with other species.

In the Fortunes of War books, Sarda ends up in this role in comparison to Piper, Scanner, and Merete, who become analogues to Kirk, Scotty, and Bones respectively in their interactions and their roles in the overall story. As a Vulcan, he looks at things from a logical standpoint and counters the more emotional arguments and actions of his comrades, but he slightly subverts the trope by being more emotional himself than normal Vulcans due to not having the necessary training in fine emotional control.

Robert McCall, The Equalizer, is very much this but has tempered it some on his own by choosing to stick to ideals he had put away for the greater good when he was part of The Agency. He always prefers logic, rationalism, and hard facts to intuition, and never lets his emotions rule instead of his head, always calculating and manipulating the odds, and willing to pay the cost himself to save someone's life.
Also, Control from the same series, the only person in the series to out-Spock McCall and to whom McCall could look like a McCoy next to.

Star Trek:
Spock from Star Trek: The Original Series. Gene Roddenberry went on record saying that Spock is an idealized version of himself, as he'd always bemoaned his own passionate and hot-tempered nature.
Almost every other Vulcan also falls into this trope, including Tuvok from Star Trek: Voyager and T'Pol from Star Trek: Enterprise. In fact, among Vulcans the half-human Spock ends up being The Kirk or even The McCoy by comparison. Tuvok especially is much more cold and humorless, being this by Vulcan standards.
Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Subverted, though, in that Data is actually aspiring to become more human, and makes significant strides toward that throughout the show and its films. Still, as Spock himself put it:
Dax originally had shades of this in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (this is lampshaded in a time travel episode where she unknowingly parrots Spock's statistical readings), but grew organically into a party girl and textbook case of Immortal Immaturity. The acerbic security chief, Odo, is much closer to this.
Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager, though she tries to overcome this in later parts of the show.
T'Pol fills out this role on Star Trek: Enterprise, being a Vulcan officer assigned to serve aboard Earth's first Warp 5 starship, mainly to keep the humans out of trouble.
Michael Burnham tries to be this in Star Trek: Discovery, but is The McCoy at heart. Saru, meanwhile, tends to be far more calculating, with the explicit goal (at least early on, of avoiding unnecessary risks.)

Even when on heavy drugs to keep his quantum senses in check he's capable of feats of extreme mental prowess, and after his drugs fade off he attains a state of nigh-omniscience and arranges the activation of the Cosmic Armor that saves all of reality from an Eldritch Abomination that eats stories. Only The Spock can stay calm and babble about the organic nature of The Multiverse while the universe-destroying evil emerges.

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality: Harry is too young and emotional to be this, but he sees it as an ideal, and always tries to ignore his emotions and make decisions based on pure logic. Occasionally a bit of a deconstruction, as his "purely rational" decisions often come across as cold or even cruel, and may be leading him to become a dark lord. For Example, when he rationalizes that killing a unicorn to extend Quirrel's life is no worse than killing a cow to eat, even though his gut instinct tells him not to.

Reservoir Dogs: Mr Pink is the most logical of all the crew, especially when he acts as the foil to Mr White. The first scene shows him refusing to throw in money to tip the waitress, giving his reason as to why. He is later distrustful of everyone, and disgusted that Mr White gave Mr Orange his real name and hometown, considering anybody, even the dying Mr Orange, could be the rat. Not only is he right about everything, but he is the only character to survive the film. Subverted in that Mr. Pink is anything but cool—he's both logical and wildly neurotic.

The Orpheans in Xenoblade Chronicles X are an entire race of these. While they can feel emotions, they mostly keep them in check in favor of finding the most efficient solution to their problems through pure logic.
Maurice Chausson always puts the needs of NLA above the needs of any individual person even to the point of leaving his own son on Earth. The only reason he shows Team Elma preferential treatment is that they're just so damn good at their jobs that losing any of them would be equivalent to losing 20 other BLADEs.

All Contractors in Darker than Black are said to be like this; part of their condition is that they always act rationally and with their own best interests in mind, dismissing emotional attachments. Throughout the series several counter-examples are shown, to the degree that whether the statement is actually true is up for discussion.

Danganronpa:
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc has Kyoko Kirigiri, who is coldly aloof, calculating, and emotionless. Celestia Ludenberg is one as well, saying they should abandon all attachment to the outside world and just accept their fate living in Hope's Peak, though ultimately subverted when it's revealed that she's so desperate to get out that she orchestrates a double murder. Byakuya Togami is a milder, crueler version.
Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair introduces Izuru Kamukura, who makes all of the above look hotheaded. He used to be a perfectly ordinary guy, until he accepted to subject himself to an operation in order to become as talented as the other Ultimates. The end result: he acquired every talent, but his memories and emotions are completely gone and he has no drive other than acquiring other talents.
K1-B0, the Ultimate Robot in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, supports logical courses of actions completely during trials, like checking all avenues of possibility just to be safe.

Kyoya from Ouran High School Host Club. He deliberately crafts a hardened, purely logical exterior, and gets pretty annoyed/confused when people (Tamaki, Haruhi) see through it. He's the one really running the club and making all the real decisions - slightly subverted, though, in that nobody fights him on his decisions since he never has to make life or death choices.

A rare main character example: Brutus from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, with either Cassius or Antony as The McCoy. A quiet, (literally) stoic, cool-headed intellectual who is a friend of Caesar's but is willing to do him in since, to quote the Trope Namer, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. ("Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more!")

Professor Arturo in Sliders is clearly The Spock of the group. Arturo is cold, logical and always put first the ethical action (especially regarding the alteration of the universe they visit) over the well being of the other characters and himself. When John Rhys-Davies left the show his Replacement Scrappy Maggie Beckett kept more or less the same role as a cold-hearted military-trained character that often thinks in survival than anything else.

C. C. from Code Geass is a particularly snarky variant, at least while the cold side of her Sugar-and-Ice Personality is the one being shown. Far from being emotionless, she has very strong feelings, she is just able to keep them under control most of the time.

Final Fantasy:
Squall of Final Fantasy VIII is a rare main character version. Raised as a mercenary, he's cynical about how the world works and tries to act solely according to duty rather than emotion. For the first portion of the game he seems like a lone Spock in a team of McCoys, but much of his Character Development is him learning how to healthily feel and express his emotions rather than acting like an automaton until he blows a gasket over, say, the execution of someone he knew from childhood.
Jusqua of Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light thinks that he's this. When Horne is petrified, he doesn't go with Brandt and Yunita because they can find a way to lift the curse. Later, he faces up to the fact that he was actually being immature by snarking at them when he himself was unwilling to try anything he thought he'd fail at.
Final Fantasy XIV deconstructs this with Urianger, who at first seems to fulfill the role perfectly; over time, however, he finds the emotional toll of repeated Shoot the Dog choices too much to bear, and laments his own failure to seek a third option to take.

Mass Effect 2:
Mordin Solus, though Hidden Depths reveal that he's way more compassionate than he lets on and feels incredible regret for his Well-Intentioned Extremist moment (though he feels it's still the right choice).
The Ruthless background Shepard also qualifies, doing whatever it takes to get the job done, no matter how horrific, and usually in the middle of the action himself—the military's go-to guy for the most vital and most morally compromising missions. The Renegade morality path also comes off as this in all the major decisions and in many of the conversations (with the rest of the time consisting of being a hardass, and in some instances in the first game, a bit of a xenophobe as well)

Bean of the Ender's Game series. The International Fleet is looking for the best student to command their entire navy, and the two runners-up are Bean and Ender. Eventually it becomes clear that though Bean is as smart as Ender and more ruthlessly logical (due to having been genetically altered for greater intelligence), Ender is the more effective commander because he empathizes and associates with his sub-commanders and troops. As a result, Ender's soldiers have greater morale and willingness to follow their leader into deep battle than Bean's, turning the advantage in Ender's direction even with identical commands.

Elinor Dashwood, the protagonist of Sense and Sensibility, in contrast to her sister Marianne. Possibly the Trope Maker, considering this is one of the first known intentional uses of it (Austen intended the sisters' Emotions Versus Stoicism to be a metaphor for Romanticism Versus Enlightenment). Also one of the few examples where The Spock is right, and The McCoy has to learn to be more reserved rather than the other way around.

When she herself becomes Flawed, this trait of hers gets thrown on it's head, as she no longer knows what is logical, and starts to think emotionally instead.

Warhammer 40,000:
Among the Primarchs, there was Ferrus Manus on the Imperial side and Perturabo among the traitors. Both tended to be the most dispassionate and calculating Primarchs, and their Legions followed suit - although Perturabo's claim is a little weakened by his towering resentment and susceptibility to brief spasms of uncontrollable fury. Ferrus' downfall was also caused by his emotions getting the better of him, leading to him charging to his death. Rogal Dorn and his Imperial Fists also fall under here as stoic, disciplined masters of siege tactics and defensive fighting. Still, some of his actions post-Heresy were very much emotionally motivated and colored by his deep seated idealism.
Adeptus Mechanicus supporting character tends to be this to whatever Inquisitor, Space Marine or Imperial Guard protagonist they follow around, especially if they have had the cybernetic surgical procedures of Clear Thoughts, excising the parts of their brains capable of emotions.

In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Twilight Sparkle takes this role in the first two episodes, not caring about "pointless" things like friends or fun. She ends up coming around at the end of the second episode, and the rest of the season documents her learning about just how kick ass friends are. She occasionally lapses into this when academic subjects are mentioned, especially magic. She has a very logical, scientific view of the world and though her excellent education means that she's often right, it does leave her rather inflexible. Her tendency to dismiss information that she finds illogical in particular has been called on more than once.
Celestia, the Big Good of the series, more than once put the main cast (whom she is said to treasure) in a dangerous position with a gentle smile, sometimes without telling them so. Of course, given her position and age it is somewhat expected...
Wind Whistler filled the role in My Little Pony 'n Friends. Her use of logic over emotion leads the other ponies to joke that she has no feelings, which does hurt said feelings.
Among the Cutie Mark Crusaders, this is usually Apple Bloom's position. She is a well-grounded hardworking filly like her big sister Applejack and has little problem with emotional matters (though there are exceptions; in which case this role likely falls to Sweetie Belle).

Journey into Space: In The Red Planet, James Edward Whitaker is cold, emotionless and never makes small talk due to his conditioning by the Martians. His shipmate Frank Rogers finds him creepy and off-putting and can hardly even stand to be in his presence after only two days. This presents a problem considering that the two of them must share Freighter No. 2 during the fleet's six month journey to Mars. Lemmy has much the same reaction to Whitaker as Rogers does. Several members of the Martian expedition, including Rogers, Grimshaw, McLean, Dobson and Harding, are later conditioned and display the same characteristics as Whitaker.

Inspector Lunge from Monster is a subversion. He is an unemotional workaholic, but he makes most of his decisions based on his Pride, and, because of it, he disregards mounting evidence of Johan's existence until it becomes overwhelming. A true Spock would have impartially re-evaluated evidence and circumstances as they changed and based his judgements purely on logic. Also, his big fight with Roberto shows that he does have an emotional Berserk Button, and while his handcuffing himself to Tenma after being badly wounded is admirably badass, it could hardly be called a rational decision.

The Avengers: Iron Man fits The Kirk, and Captain America fits The McCoy. Black Widow being the most calculating and logical of the group would fit this.
Although in terms of Iron Man and Captain America alone, these two show a different dynamic with Steve being this. He is the tactician of the team and less of an ideological hero than he was in his own movie, while Tony is clearly dismayed at how calm he is following Coulson's death and has a moment where he wins Bruce over through sheer compassion.

Dr. Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters (1984). In the sequel, he says that his parents did not believe in toys and he seems to be nigh-immune to the mood slime which makes the two most "positive" Ghostbusters try to kill each other. In the commentary for the original film, Harold Ramis notes that he deliberately played Egon as a Spock-like character. He also notes that there is only one scene where he actually shows emotion, when Walter Peck tries to have the Ghostbusters arrested for an explosion that he caused himself.
For the record, Egon was affected by the mood slime in the novelization and script of the movie. He was, however, the first to overcome its effects.

The Tower, one of the two books which inspired The Towering Inferno, has many of the leaders among the survivors adapting this mindset (most of whom were Adapted Out of the film). Most notably is Senator Peters and Ben Wilson, who are philosophical about their own poor chances or survival while struggling to keep things efficient enough to save others, and reflecting on past accomplishments respectively. Wilson in particular delivers bad news about the building (which he helped make) somewhat matter-of-factly and with a feeling of calm self-deprecation.

Ruthlessly pragmatic, Jayne will always be the first one to suggest that the smartest course of action when in a bind would be to betray this person or abandon that cause. Rarely is his logic on these matters ever called into question, but no one else is willing to be that cut-throat.

The titular character in Goblin Slayer is basically emotionless with a practical and ruthless approach to slaying all goblins (which are Always Chaotic Evil) and any other monsters associated with them. He's willing to do some fairly dark things like killing goblin children, causing floods and trapping goblins inside burning ruins to get this done. Nevertheless, townspeople and other adventurers come to appreciate him since he basically takes out the extremely dangerous pests plaguing them.

Squall of Final Fantasy VIII is a rare main character version. Raised as a mercenary, he's cynical about how the world works and tries to act solely according to duty rather than emotion. For the first portion of the game he seems like a lone Spock in a team of McCoys, but much of his Character Development is him learning how to healthily feel and express his emotions rather than acting like an automaton until he blows a gasket over, say, the execution of someone he knew from childhood.

Piccolo of Dragon Ball Z became this after Character Development. He first appears as a raving, cackling lunatic hell-bent on killing Goku (justified, as he has all his father's memories, and is only a few years old). Despite that, he was intelligent enough to ally with Goku and kill Raditz. However, when he did kill Goku, the circumstances made him realize that he had no goal afterwards, though he ends up training Gohan. Gohan's large heart helps Piccolo discover his conscience and he ends up becoming The Strategist of the Z-Fighters though he is still often puzzled by the emotions of his friends and he often decides the smart and pragmatic decision among his comrades. Sometimes, though, he gets angry. Like if Gohan gets hurt. Then he goes from being The Spock to a Papa Wolf.

Prowl, more so in The Transformers (Marvel) comics. IDW's take deconstructs this- Prowl's lack of empathy and I Did What I Had to Do attitude alienate him from the rest of the Autobots, even those who were previously his friends. During The Transformers: Robots in Disguise and The Transformers: Combiner Wars, it's show that his "logical" behavior isn't even that logical — he's motivated as much by a desire for revenge and lingering mental instability over his torture by the Decepticons and being made a part of Devastator.

Senku from Dr. STONE ends up being a subversion. He's a brilliant scientist who frequently talks about logic, but he usually rejects the most logical course of action because he wants to save everyone and refuses to even entertain the idea of sacrificing someone for "the greater good".

Jade Curtiss of Tales of the Abyss, despite his Stepford Smiler outward persona, fits this trope when it comes down to actual decision-making. The one time that he does admit he'd rather not do the most coldly logical thing, would be to ask Luke to sacrifice himself rather than Asch.

In Babylon 5:
Ivanova among the crew, especially to Sheridan's The Kirk, Ivanova is very logical and detached and follows the rules strictly most of the time, though she does have some private outbursts. Contrast with much more emotional and intuitive Garibaldi as The McCoy.
Kosh among the ambassadors, a cold, cryptic super-advance alien worried only for the big scheme of things and coming from an entire race based on cold discipline and order. He can be very frustrating for Sheridan because of this, and he’s imply to be the most emotional of his specie.
The Spin-Off show Crusade has the techno-mage Galen as this. Galen is cold and logical and can be very ruthless. He can act irrationally though as when he kidnaps the ship in order to fulfill his dead wife's last wish.

Sunshine. When the crew out to save the sun (and the world) are down to five members and their oxygen supply is cut, they realize they only have enough oxygen for four people to make a return trip. Corazon doesn't bat an eyelid in suggesting they murder one of their own (whom happened to be already wracked with guilt for a mistake that led them into this predicament in the first place) instead of all five of them dying from lack of oxygen, and it didn't take much convincing for two other crew members to accept the idea.

All-American Girl (Meg Cabot): Rebecca is very reserved and matter-of-fact (save for her belief that aliens are real). She isn't worried by news that her sister has been at the scene of a shooting due to the statistical probabilities making it more likely that Sam is fine.

Transformers: Almost all versions of Shockwave are what you get when this type of character is a villain. Cold, calculating, and unflinching. The original comic version even decided to overthrow Megatron, because it was the logical thing to do. And later on, he handed back power to Megatron, again because it was perfectly logical for him to do so. Best encapsulated by this quote from another Shockwave:

Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Subverted, though, in that Data is actually aspiring to become more human, and makes significant strides toward that throughout the show and its films. Still, as Spock himself put it:
