Top 10 Heroic Boffins

EDIT: Let's just say after playing Sly 4: Thieves in Time, certain.... events in the game convinced me to remove Penelope from this meme.......

EDIT: Corrected Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs date (2009).

Another meme, this one is my Top 10 protagonists in films, cartoons, series and games that have proven themselves to be intellectually superior to many of their friends.

This was adapted from a meme I found LONG ago... but I can't remember what it was..

I really enjoy using the smart-alec type of character in my works, as I enjoy showing how eccentric, enjoyable and knowledgable they can be, and I love how smart characters are established.

I was going to put Victor Frankenstein from Frankenweenie on here, but he just about lost out to Francis from Felidae.

So, we have -

10. Francis - Felidae
9. Abraham Van Helsing - Bram Stoker's Dracula
8. Flint Lockwood - Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs
7. Mac - Chicken Run
6. Professor Cuthbert Calculus - The Adventures of Tintin
5. Rupert Giles - Buffy the Vampire Slayer
4. Bentley - Sly Cooper Series (......... )
3. Wallace and Gromit (Again, you can't seperate these two... )
2. Sandy Cheeks - Spongebob Squarepants
1. (Say it together now....)
Basil of Baker Street - Basil the Great Mouse Detective (He's BOUND to be my fave intellectual hero... )

If you want to try this meme out yourself, you're welcome.
Also, if you want to know why I like these characters so much or if you want to suggest one or two I missed, you're free to ask.
