I agree with you he has potential , but do you know one thing with great wisdom comes the ability of being humble and seeing smart people and appreciating their works and even motivating them greatly and also comes the feeling that the person can be greater , so you can see Richards always being humble and down to earth with smart people, I think even this is the way he thought and said about Valerie.

[@zero11010]

Marvel has rated characters for things like intelligence. Peter Parker is rated at 4 out of 7. He's on par with people like Doctor Strange and Forge. 5 is people like Beast, Black Panther, Mister Sinister. 6 is people like Hank Pym, Goliath, the Leader, Bruce Banner. 7 is a pretty small group. You have to ignore most of what is written in comic books. Most of it is due to bad writing and bad editing. It's hard to actually figure out where a character's abilities actually are. But, Marvel rated their own characters. So, you have to assume they know what they're doing. That being said, there are lots of entries with no ratings at all, and a few that seem to accidentally have all 7 out of 7. And, for some reason Misty Knight is listed with a fighting capability of 6. Above Daredevil and tied with heroes like Iron Fist. So, Daredevil and Iron Fist spent their whole lives just learning to fight. Misty was a normal kid ... and then a cop ... and then did the heroes for hire thing or whatever ... and somehow ... she's just as good as Coleen Wing and Iron Fist and Gamora.

I can distinctly remember a comic where Reed was forced to confront his inability to comprehend magic by Victor. It simply didn't make sense to him. If you're judging intelligence by how many different fields of study a given person can master, Victor wins. That being said, Reed has achieved through science things that border on, if not exceed the bounds of, magic.

[@Hypersonicmind]

Doom built a time machine, not Reed. He also "cured" Ben, which Reed couldn't do. The time machine means he is much older (thousands of years) ie more experienced ie (more opportunity to be)smarter than someone approaching a half century in age. Doom has experienced far more than Richards, albeit Richards has more knowledge about aspects of Physics- niches like the negative zone. To me, intelligence includes occult knowledge, and hence tips the scales.

[@DHworldwide185]

@@Hypersonicmind At the level that Reed and Victor operate on, emotional intelligence can make all the difference. Reed, in the face of things he cannot understand, has expressed humility. That's a very alien emotion to Victor. On the other hand, Victor's patriotism and loyalty has led him to places Reed has never dared to try. It's a tossup, which is really part of the fun as comic book fans.

Eternity chose Hank Pym for the title of Scientist Supreme not because he is the smartest, but unlike Richards or Stark who are mostly inovators and inventors, explorers and engineers, Pym's approach to science is similar on how a magician works with magic (the pym particles, the underspace, the macroverse and the overspace, etc) as he seeks to expand the capacity of science until it almost resembles magic in its application..

He’s matched nearly ALL of Reed’s intel feats and has MANY he (Reed) can’t come close to matching...like the fact that he (Doom) actually succeeded in taking over the world, ending ALL war, hunger, disease etc.. but eventually gave it back because he got BORED [Yes that’s some real ish] or how he’s the runner up for Sorcerer Supreme, has taken nearly every cosmic level character’s powers or the fact that he saved the multiverse during the incursion event, went on to actually obtain ULTIMATE POWER as god Emperor Doom and built battle world 🌍 or the fact that he’s actually immortal. He learned how to transfer his consciousness into new cloned bodies by an alien race called the Ovoids. How about the fact that Thanos sees him as the only human that can pose potential threat and therefore keeps constant surveillance on him (Doom knows this btw). The list of Doom’s feats of top tier intelligence go on and on... Plus Reed needs his team to win, Doom needs NO ONE.

DERR DWUHEMMMM

[@danielebowman]

I agree. In fact Doom always seems to beat Reed Richard with many inventions and when there is something cosmic and universe threatening always outdoes Reed and everyone else. however the flaw of many "intelligent super genius'" in comics today is they are written so unrealistically, they are no longer humans who have an amazing specialism in science or tactics or something. They are above what anyone could realistically be ever. One time Reed Richards needed Doc Coks help in Biology/medicine, now he's a master of it as well as all science. They all are and it's just not credible. IMO Reed should be the best engineer and problem solver but have limitations elsewhere for simply not having had the time to study it.Same for other super genius characters. Intelligence isn't simply ranked, it is something you can excel in different ways.

[@commanderclown8620]

@@danielebowman I personally think Tony should be the best engineer and multi tasker while Reed should be the best physicist. Beast should be the best geneticist. Doc ock should be the best in bio organics. Doom should be just barely behind both Tony and Reed but able to match them through his sorcery. Although overall, you're completely right, they shouldn't all be experts in everyrhing.

Personally, I believe Doom is number 1 because he, unlike Richards, was able to find a cure for The Thing. Of course, he only did this to piss Richards off, and took away the cure, but still is smarter in my eyes.

[@preetpalsingh5104]

While he doesn’t always shows it Peter Parker should’ve been on the list. At the very least an honourable mention. He just doesn’t gets the time to show off his smarts because of typical Parker luck. Peter's college IQ scores were the same as those posted by Reed Richards at the same age. Peter was also able to hack into Stark Industries system to override Tony Stark's control command over the Iron Spider Armor. He also discovered some energy while working at Parker Industries which is more powerful than the freaking Phoenix force.

Wasn't it stated that the only thing keeping the hulk at bay and rampaging to destroy everything is Bruce banner's intellect and suppressing the Hulk.

[@jamiebanner3000]

Pretty sure it's been stated "The Leader" by far has the most brain power. And stated the most intelligent. The Leader also considers Doctor Doom a lesser mind. Also The Leader has been shown to be more intelligent than Mephisto. Basically Samuel Stern has had a massive amp to his brain that makes him by far the most intelligent. So I don't agree with the list. Sorry but Reed Richards and Doom just don't have the brain power Samuel Stern has. Also I think MODOK is up there. What I've seen in recent years Bruce Banner is ahead of Tony Stark. Also people always based on technology. People don't look at characters like Professor X, and Doc Samson because their expertise is not technology. Archaeology or psychology.

[@kingghidorable931]

I think there being real specific with their human characters, so like no mutants or anything which is why beast isn’t on this list

[@ooffordays566]

I think most of those statements come from the Leader himself, who doesn’t have nearly as good feats as Reed, Doom, Hank Pym, or hell, even Bruce Banner. He’s a pretty unreliable source when Hulk’s alter ego is usually credited as smarter. He should at least be in the top ten though. As for MODOK... maybe? He’s usually treated as a bit too much of a joke to have any serious stake in the top ten. It’s at least clear that Doom, Ultron, Leader, and even Tony Stark rank higher.

[@stephenbell830]

Doctor Strange? I’m not familiar with how he is portrayed in the comics, but he seems pretty smart in the movies, just with a focus, as you say, that is not technology.

[@jamiebanner3000]

@@stephenbell830 yeah agree Dr Strange is one of the most intelligent. One of the most knowledgeable comic book characters in general. Also having great knowledge of space, time the universe and mystical things. And being a talented Doctor surgeon and physician. There's nothing to say that Strange isn't more intelligent than Tony Stark. Because he's not in the-tech game having more knowledge than Tony stark doesn't come into it... People think technology is be all of things these days. And people don't see being a biologist, chemistries, physicist, a doctor or an archaeologist, or psychiatrist as gifted or intelligent as a technologist... That's kind of mentality of world. Like Victor Frankenstein creating the monsters is not seen as intelligent as Hank Pym creating Ultron... Even though Hank Pyms was an accident...

[@zyxyx6754]

"The Leader also considers Doctor Doom a lesser mind" That's fine. Doom also considers the leader a lesser mind, so it balances out.

[@parthgadhavi8083]

Honestly, Dr Doom should be number 1. I base it on the fact that Reed has explicitly stated that he cannot understand or find logical ground behind magic and the mystic whereas Dr Doom is a master. They both pretty much have the same proficiency in the sciences but doom wins due to his mastery of magic.
