We've seen a lot of the eight smartest guys and so on. But who would you rate as the eight dumbest?
a) Not including people who lost intelligence through brain damage, retardation/mutation etc like Hulk and Drax. Just the naturally stupid?
b) Everyone for consideration? Including Drax, Hulk etc.
Rhino must be a contender.
1) ?
2) ?
3) Rhino?
4) ?
5) ?
6) ?
7) ?
8) ?

I would say hulk but he has done some pretty clever things I guess

He's still pretty dumb though
Omega Vision
Rhino is 1 through 7 while Sally Floyd takes number 8.

They'd all be women.

Oh you and your misogyny.

Which despite the dancing banana, isn't funny.
TheTyrant
Rhino, Gargan, Sandman. The rest don't matter.
batdude123
It's hilarious.
basilisk
Also Orca and Wundarr were pretty dumb for the (b) category.
For the (a) category I wonder if Juggernaut is a candidate?
JakeTheBank
Absorbing Man is kinda stupid.

Tiger Shark.
All of the Wrecking crew.

Not all of the Crew. Thunderball was an actual physicist.

Grundy... he was stupid beforehand, correct?
Rounding out the top 10 of stupid characters would have to every single one of Superman's rogues gallery. They're all dumb 'cause they've all had ample opportunity to kill the guy on multiple occasions but always do something stupid. I realize most of it is writing, but still; making grandiose speeches is pretty dumb.
JakeTheBank
This is Marvel, though.
marwash22
btw, i thought the women comment was kinda funny. Not true, but funny.

Nonsense. Dancing banana makes everything funny, even prejudice.

Wild Shadow
isnt herc pretty stupid as well since he is out of his time
Omega Vision
Herc isn't stupid, he just looks that way because he's always next to Amadeus Cho.

Hercules stupid? Far from it.
Who do you think taught Amadeous what he knows?
One of his lesser known powers is the fabled God Math.
Wild Shadow
did herc ever learn to read on panel? i know herc mastered the window and mouse click
WickedDynamite
Hulk and Blob will always reign in the top 3 spot.
Another dumbass would be The Walrus.

Comical but still a dumbass.

The classic savage hulk is child like not really stupid. He has displayed pretty impressive cunning
Rage.Of.Olympus
The Savage Hulk isn't stupid at all as stated. That's why hardcore Hulk fans hate it when his written with the dialogue of a green mental retard but at this point so many writers have done it outside of the Hulk comics it doesn't really matter.

It's the kind of thing where it gets 'joked' about so often it loops back around to 'hey, this is simply acting like a jerk being written off as humor. When you do it this much it really is just misogyny.'
Rage.Of.Olympus
I thought it was rather funny as well. And accurate too.

Based on this being the first time, i thought it was innocent sarcasm and not indicative of actual thought.

Not necessarily specifically from him, but in general. It's the kind of thing where once you start bothering to notice, it shows up often and it's hard not to notice.
"Oh wah, people are actually being called on acting badly, I'm going to complain about it!"
C'mon, if he can make the comment, then I can point it out.
Q99
On the main topic, how about Reed Richards?
Sure, he's one of the smartest too, but he also does really dumb stuff
"My uncle got persecuted unfairly under McCartheism... therefore McCartheism against Superheroes is good and we should all support it unquestioningly!"

Fine, then you can complain about it, but I'm going to keep bringing it up when people do it

Ares?
Wild Shadow
he has done some pretty stupid things and his behavior is retarded... especially for a war god.
Omega Vision
^ It should be noted mythological Ares wasn't too bright either. He was basically the Olympian Pantheon's dumb jock.
So much so that Hephaestus pulled a Revenge of the Nerds type moment on him when said forge god caught Ares with his wife Aphrodite.
All things considered DC Ares is a bit too smart for a War God and Marvel Ares being a bit dense is understandable.

DC's is basically implied to have grown up over time as war modernized, or at least that's the impression I get.
Marvel's is more true to the myths.

But Ares understands all modern weapondry & will use it. He can relate to modern soldiers.
It's Hercules & Thor, in their respective pantheons, that have the reputation of being brawny over brainy (look at how Loki has mocked Thor over millenia for his 'few brains'), and just using their 'hammers' to smash their way of of trouble.
(With Thor, that's literal; with Hercules, that means seducing the female in charge.
