Actually, Julian Bashir underwent the forbidden 'upgrade' to his intelligence long before his teens; he was about seven or eight, ten at the most. (I'll have to watch the episode again; but I remember his mother saying how it tore her apart to see her little Jules struggling to read and write "cat" when his classmates were well along with their reading; which implies to me that the procedure took place well before his adolescence. Bashir was always one of my favorite characters
Well, depending on how old you are, one could refer to their teen son or daughter as the little so-and-so:

In 2348, just before Julian's seventh birthday, the Bashir family left Earth for Adigeon Prime. At first, he was excited to see all the aliens in the hospital, but then they gave him a room and started a series of treatments. These treatments, known as "accelerated critical neural pathway formation," were a method of genetic engineering that involved the resequencing of his DNA. Over the course of two months, his genetic structure was manipulated to accelerate the growth of the neuronal networks in his cerebral cortex, and a new Julian Bashir was born.
The focus of his "enhancements" were to increase his mental abilities and as such, his IQ jumped five points a day for over two weeks. Further treatments led to improvements in his hand-eye coordination, reflexes, vision, stamina, height, and weight. In the end, everything but his name had been altered in some way, which led Julian to do so himself by refusing to ever again answer to the name "Jules."
Great list. Almost all of the Star Trek officers were not only book-smart, but situationally smart and extremely adaptable. However, I never found Wesley to be a credible character, he was just too awesome to be real. It would have been nice if there had been a reference to him in DS:9.
Thank you. And that's true what you said about all starfleet officiers, but what about the one guy(I can't think of his name right now) who temporarily became a genius and had his right brain and left brain connection enhanced by an alien probe?(Such a cool episode. ) Well, he had to have been smart enough to make it into starfleet, but he was so bumbling and had such low self confidence. But I think that his name was Reggie.
Richard Kimble. Not only could he do almost any job from veterinary assistant to operating heavy machinery, he always had all the bus schedules memorized for wherever he was.
Well, I guess you got a point. Plus, he was a doctor.
And which reminds of of Richard Kimble's parallel character in a different show, Dr. David Bruce Banner from the Incredible Hulk. Kind of like the same thing that you said about Richard Kimble... except for the bus schedules because he was all thumbs.
P.S. And I would have repped you for that, but I must have already given you one recently.

Reginald Barclay... that's his name.
So I guess we could include the 'enhanced' version of Reginal Barclay in this list.
Jarod from The Pretender. He was a genius who was so smart that he could master a job such as a medical doctor, an engineer, or lawyer in just a few days of preparation. He was also humble and wanted to help people.

I'm not familiar with the show, but he sounds interesting.
Leopold James "Leo" Fitz was a Scottish-born former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and scientist. A genius engineer, he is one of the youngest and most prominent members of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Sci-Tech division, and inseparable from his research partner and friend (and later wife), Jemma Simmons

The show was from the 1990s. Ended around 2000. Look it up in Wikepedia. They give a good explanation of it there.
Michael T. Weiss was the actor who played Jarod.
