whos the better inventor of weird new devices?

FORGE. Without a freakin doubt. He blows Reed out of the water.

Forge because he can build any type of machine that he wants.

Forge take an idea from someone and bring that idea to life far faster than Reed can. No contest.

Reed can come up with better ideas. No contest

Hmm...gonna need some help remembering some good stuff Forge made...I remember he made a gun to take down Hulk...I dont know if he actually made a time machine or just operated them? Not really a fair comparison though...Reed has his own comic and has been inventing something crazy every issue since 1961.

Forge made an inhibiter devise that cut off Prof.X's telepathy. And les not forget the famous gun that take away mutant powers. But you are right Wynndar. Reed has been in way more comics to invent things. Its not really much of a comparison considering all of Reed's appearances.

hmmm yea...

Sums it up perfectly...

nope i think forge needs determination or motive to invent something.

forge still wins tho

Forge does have the advantage of having the "invent anything gene" but I think Reed would be better overall because he actually knows the how? behind the devices.

I look at it this way:

If the contest was - figure out a way to beat Silver Surfer I have odds on Reed over Forge. Reed is a master planner and versed in all areas of science. Forge can't make that claim (though he's a pretty good magician).

If the contest was - build a gamma absorbing ray gun, I definitely think Forge takes it first.

Now imagine Forge, Reed and Magneto mindlinked through Xavier. Anything Reed thinks of, Forge can blueprint and Magneto can build in seconds....

I think Doom and Magneto have something similar to this

I have to go with Forge. His power is to create any machine that he can think of. I know if I had that ability I would make another machine that makes me have other powers as well. What's to stop him from making a machine that gives him celestial like powers?

Yeah Reed is great and all, but Forge's power is to do it.

would forge bulid himself a love robot?....

anything he wants is hyperbole. The kinds of stuff he builds is still one or two tiers below Reed/Doom type tech. Like I said. Forge hasnt been in many comics and only has a handful of impressive inventions. Reed literally comes up with something more advanced in every issue...this honestly isnt close.

On paper, Forge is better for actually building a device but Reed has so many other applications. Say you wanted to rig a homing device to work backwards or gut some advanced technology or have self inflating basketballs then all signs point to Reed.

Forge "I wanna make a machine that can beat Reed R" PUFF !!!!

Theres the machine............

Forge: "Hey Reed, what did u do today?"

Reed: "I watched the creation of the universe with the assended being that sent the cosmic rays that created the F4 (actually happened last issue)...how about you?"

Forge: "Oh I made device that looks like a backpack but it actually takes away Gambit's creole accent."

Reed: "Oh...the F4 have nanotechnology that already does that...but ur back pack thing is neat."

Forge can't build ANYTHING he wants, His mind just works out everything subconicusly, as aposed to Reed acualy thinking it.

Reed wins beacuse he acualy understands how his inventions work.
Forge might make a weapon and not know how to use it afterwards.

BTW, the forge and magneto thing dosen't work nearly as well since there are many non-metal objects many of his devices need.

here's one nice showing of forge:

In Uncanny 301 there is an exchange between Forge and Fitzroy that goes...

"Fitzroy: Nice Gun. Before you fire it, there's something you should know. The body armor I'm wearing is made out of omnium mesh. It is impregnable. It was created one hundred years in the future.

Forge: Fair enough. Before I fire it, there's something you should know. This geo-thermal .960 I'm holding is constructed out of a vibranium polymer. It hurts like all get out. It was created by me. This Morning. Over breakfast."

forge just owned fitzroy.

lol @ over breakfast.

^ Sweet.

As previously stated, Forge can design and build something faster than Reed can, he may even have the edge in quickness at reverse engineering advance technology that is of futuristic/extra-terrestrial origin.
