Mine is light and L from death note . They were potrayed as some kinda of super genius characters but in reality it felt like every other characters shared one braincell and light and L were average .

EDIT : I have come to the conclusion that so may of lemmings didn't get what my post was about . I don't care if a charecter is an asshole or isn't very good in other aspects of their life.

He was never a genius?

True, but he was a rich opportunist with good timing, so that made him look like a genius, as opposed to the serial fabulist and racist POS he ended up being.

He’s been portrayed as one in the media though

A lot of people sure think he is though.
