Which of these two characters is the smartest?

Overall i would go with Lex.

tony owned reed at like 6 different games of chess, all at once - imo, that certainly shows a degree of tactical genius. not to mention he's built time machines, etc.

Tony builds machines that can take on super beings, Lex is a manipulative coward.

At this moment, Stark is not smart. That aside, it's hard to pick a winner. I guess when Stark had the Extremis he was arguably smarter.

Lex Luthor

Current Stark is not smart... therefore in that case Lex is smarter... however if this were Classic or Extremis Stark he is smarter

It kinda sounds like Lex is being underestimated.

If he ever appears to be lacking in the smarts department, it's not his fault. He's surrounded by dumbasses, dipsh*ts, sh*theads, and f*cknuts.

Like Brain surrounded by a dozen Pinky's. If Lex could team with a few clones of himself, he'd probably get quite a bit further than he has in the past.

But this is a close call.

EDIT: I'll have to go with Lex here.

Is Pepper od'ing on crack?

I would say Lex.

Luthor's tactical abilities are much better than Stark's and he can at least match him in terms of tech.

So? He had blue-prints for it.

Tony could have done the same thing if he had blue-prints

this is a hard one. tony might be the victor here, but in an all out prep battle, i'd say Luthor would win.

Working on something doesn't mean anything.

Take the guy who created the camera, if he gives the blueprints for someone to create a replica does it mean that they are as smart as the creator? NO? You're wrong and I accept your concession

Blueprints or not do you really think just anybody could have made it? If that were the case Superman would have done it himself being a genius and superfast it would have made things easier.

Majestic could make it, don't think Supes can.

Not to mention Bush held the office for two whole terms. Does that make a difference? He's still a dumbass cokehead.


Like someone else pointed out, Tony could build a better, more complex, machine and sh*t, but Lex could write a better game plan. And he's smart. Anybody remember that giant robot with the magnetic stabilizers? Lex built that in his garage. So I say he wins.

Tony is imo a better inventive genius. Lex is a better scheming prep master.

so they are both really smart in their own way.

Good point.




Bush >>> Lex.

Arnold Schwartzeneger > Lex

Lex is more in Doom's class than Stark.

Lex destroys Stark, and it isn't close.

He was time travelling and independently creating life as a teenager.
