Today's trope is the Brilliant, but Lazy
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrilliantButLazy

More than capable of taking care of any situation that the heroes have to deal with, but doesn't care. They'd rather relax and do nothing to help. This character will likely Refuse The Call when it comes, feeling that, whatever's going on, it's not their problem. Expect them to be very sarcastic as well.

Expect such a character to be indifferent, uncaring, and, at worst, obnoxious or self-centered.
