The trope of "Extremely capable, but otherwise has a disability" is as old as time. You have a bunch of comic book characters with this trait: Charles Xavier, Daredevil, Oracle, in anime you got Edward from Fullmetal Alchemist, Venom Snake is missing an arm, So are Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, ancient greeks depicted the god Hephaestus in a chair with wheels, Toph from Avatar is Blind, Bran Stark is Paralyzed, Eli Vance is missing a Leg, Furiosa is missing an arm, Hiccup from how to train your dragon is missing a leg, Captain Hook, Barret replaced his arm...
So it happens in both classic stories (all the way back to ancient greeks) to modern ones. Giving a capable character a disability is just a pretty common way to balance them out and make them memorable at the same time. Hell, technically Mother brain fits this too. Being literally just a brain dependent on machinery to do anything.
