I don't know if this is the proper trope to use, but this troper would probably qualify. He always scored high on exams, and can pretty much master anything with ease due to him being a very quick learner with genius level intellect. Whenever his family/friends needed help with anything, they would ask him for it, and usually brought about success with minimal effort. Now, if only he weren't so lazy, he probably would've done even better. ^_^

LOL SmallNameBigEgo

My name is not small... ^_^

I'll be completely honest here, so bear with me. this troper knows he isn't anywhere NEAR the level of an Ace, but has made it his goal if life to eventually be one, major reason I'm a huge 'hero' fanboy and merely want to achieve this trope for the sake of it's coolness. FYI, while the above is a true heartfelt wish, I only bothered posting it in the first place to practice my editing. LONG LIVE TV TROPES! ^___^

I wish you luck, good sir! ^_^

Same for me. Not to get my butt off TV Tropes and back to work!

Me too! ^_^

This tuba player named David. Gets great grades, flirts with tons of girls (even those who aren't single), and is friends with everybody. My friends all love him, but I see him as an arrogant {{Marty Stu}}. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Update: David has now stolen another guy's girlfriend.

This troper's main WorldOfWarcraft RP character occasionally strays into this territory. He's a human paladin (and that's already dangerous), ridiculously smart (yes, this troper can pull it off), extremely strong for being on the short side of average, and a ''handsome blue-eyed blond''. What drives him into Ace mode is that he has Social Anxiety Disorder, and thinks the only way he'll get any respect is by being the very best at everything. As a character, he's very heavily influenced by Ace Rimmer, actually. (Usually he just lives in BadassBookworm land, though.)

This troper has a friend who strays into Ace territory some times. Probably exemplified by several occasions, such as when the girl I had a crush on admitted to me that she had a crush on him out of nowhere (they are still toghether eight years later), and when I got a ninty-seven percent on my term paper and he got a ninety-eight.

Not me, but my brother. An organized list:

He's smarter than me.

He can do complex math problems in his head.

He's super-diligent about his homework.

He gets straight As.

He's funnier than me.

He's more creative.

He's wittier.

He's better at telling jokes.

He's very popular.

He has a very wide social circle.

He has friends over about half the time.

The other half, he's at their houses.

He's athletic.

He works out at the gym.

He's a soccer star.

He does situps and pushups before bed.

He's on the track team.

He's religious. (That's a good thing in my family.)

He attended Sunday and Hebrew school regularly.

He can speak and read Hebrew pretty fluently.

He had a traditional bar mitzvah.

He always wins arguments.

He's maddeningly calm and rational. (I tend to get tongue-tied and resort to "Well, you're stupid!")

He never gets stressed or angry or sad.

He does charity work regularly.

He's sort of a leader at the charity he volunteers at.

He has no mental disorders (in stark contrast with my plethora).

He used to be flat-out middle of every bell curve, which was bad enough since IJustWantToBeNormal.

He's a better actor than me, despite me being the aspiring actress.

He can improvise and memorize anything on the spot.

He can sing decently.

He's into science- and math-type subjects.

We're from a family of accountants, bankers, doctors...my preference for the arts puts me at odds with pretty much all my adult relatives, minus my paternal uncle (an artist, and therefore the ''other'' black sheep -- although he has actual talent).

He's into computer programming, which is what our dad does.

He's also pretty attractive. (I say this as his sister). His ''{{asexual|ity}}'' sister.)

His hair is scruffy; mine is frizzy.

He doesn't have the acne problems I have.

He's tanned; I'm pasty. (Although I don't mind being pale. Geek cred!)

So basically, he's the kind of guy that people can ''approve'' of. He impresses everyone he meets. (It says a lot about my relationship with my parents that I ''still'' find it easier to put up with him than with them.)

Subverted by This Troper. I think it's funny to act like I am this trope, the result being that most of my classmates actually believe me to be the Ace.

The exact same for This Troper, who probably was a minor BrokenAce in the past (put simply, he did very well in elementary, but on top of the typical bullying, never learned good social skills). He's neither now, and wishes he could be again.

This troper once had a one-sided rivalry with one dude that totally fits the bill for one. He's a NiceGuy who's athletic (he plays sports and walks home all the time), smart, hyperactive, charismatic, sensitive, handsome, jokey, kids love him, and he's very defensive of his friends. I hated the dude with a passion for no good reason. We actually more or less had a FriendlyEnemy relationship; I was the one who did the bullying, really. He didn't fight back at all and that allowed us to be friends... sometimes. Funny thing is, after hanging out for the first time in a long time, he actually thought that I was awesome because I drew better than him, finished college, more intelligent than he was, and at one point held a job (he's still at school, unemployed, and has a long way to go when it comes to drawing).

This troper has experienced 3 Aces, one at home, one at school, and one at work. They're all named Sara(h). They aren't all the same person, there's three different girls named Sara(h) who are Aces. This troper just can't win.
