I think there exist a tradition that the lest powerful guy/girl physically or energywise is the smartest ,best strategist. I'm thinking Cyclops of the X-men, Robin/Nightwing of the Titans, Challenger of the Justice Machine ect. He is the piece that sees how all the other bigger pieces go together. He/she has the wider vision to see the whole.
Then again, "those tht can't DO teach, Those that can't teach...teach gym."
