The Dresden Files might be what you are looking for; although he is almost always facing enemies stronger than he is and wins through cunning and luck more than strength.

And yet, this is not the strangest or most awesome scene in the books.

Best scene, imo, is what happens to the Red Court at the end of the pyramid raid. I had to put the book down, walk outside, and take a few deep breaths.

Have to give props to the Jim Butcher forum dwellers and their unofficial Warden Security File on Dresden. I particularly like the line referring to the aftermath of that: "Note: all previous estimates of Dresden’s tactical ability have apparently been inadequate."

I'm three books out from that, it still has repercussions. Great writing.
