I believe Thanos excel at ever category, so its kind of unfair for the others, so I kept in mind and rank them in their favorable area of expertise.

95- Reed
90- Doom
80- Stark
90- Lex
85- Brainiac
80- Bruce
90- Mephisto - Prepping in "Fear Itself" arc
75- Uatu - RULK WTF PWN
75- Odin - Headbutt? Seriously?

No Pym? Pfft.

NO way is Reed smarter than Thanos when he's already expressed the fact that he is inferior to thanos in this area

Of all the classic characters, including Thanos, Reed and Doom are probably the two smartest.

I don't know if Thanos is top ten material. Maybe.

I reckon only Uatu has a higher sense of intelligence in this.

Though my idea of intelligence is quite abstract.

In regards to creative intelligence Reed and Doom are the beasts.

1) Reed Richards-100.
2) Doctor Doom-100
3) Tony Starks-90
4) Lex Luthor-100
5) Brainiac-150
6) Bruce Wayne-100
7) Mephisto-80
8) Uatu-200
9) Odin-90

Doom claimed one of Thanos's spy gadgets was more advanced than his.

Doom and Reed are good, but Thanos works on a grander scale. Dooms thinking about power jacking Big G or taking over the world, Thanos is supplanting the cosmic beings or becoming allfather of the multiverse...

The thing I thought was cool is Thanos improving the tech of the Rigellians in just a minute or so. They had the tech to teleport a planet.

So they're like Marvels version of Rannians?

Thanos thinks about getting roasted by Big G. Thanos being given THOTU isn't a feat. It was a trap designed for him. In the meantime, Doom took Beyonder's power and HoM Wanda's power.

Doom already admitted Thanos tech is more advanced. Period. No amount of spinning changes this fact.

^ Thanos has more advanced spy tech by Doom's statements. Doom has more advanced time travel tech and energy siphoning/transferrence tech by Doom's tech feats. No amount of spinning changes these facts. Originally posted by Mindset

THOTU obviously doesn't even enter the equation considering he was gifted it and fooled into taking it.

That kills my argument..

Although I also would have accepted Daredevil admitting Captain America is faster, when he clearly isn't.

One indisputable fact though:

Doom's been defeated or outplayed. Thanos never really has been.. The only times he's really been beaten on the big stage, is when he beats himself because of his mental blocks..

I think that when your ego is as big as Doom's you can take your declarations of inferiority quite seriously. Kang's tech also proved to be better in Infinity War...

^ Kang not having the wherewithal to recognize and openly admit that Doom's other tech is better than his own can't be held against Doom. Particularly when it's Doom's tech that forms the basis of Kang's tech and his empire in the first place. Originally posted by cdtm

Original Adam Warlock? Odin? Squirrel Girl? Annihilus? And those are just his utter defeats or where he's utterly duped. Then there's him getting tooled by Magus at various times, murdered by Drax (twice), spanked by Galactus, etc.

Thanos being Thanos' own worst enemy isn't exactly something to be proud of.

Dude, I'm trying to help you here

Did you miss those scans where Doom admits Kang is his superior (techwise)? They are in the last page of my respect thread, see the context if you want to, Avengers v1 25. Or we could refer to him needed his tech in Infinity War. Or to an infant Nathaniel Richards manhandling his tech with his personal armor

Seriously though, my point was that nobody -not even me- would argue that Kang is smarter than Doom because his tech is more advanced, and that the same criterea should be applied to Thanos.

On the other hand, Thanos has the tech he has because he grew up in a super-advanced civilization and has accumulated tech from various other advanced alien races. Whereas Doom grew up in a relatively low-tech environment but has invented time travel and energy siphons more advanced than Thanos's. Someone like Apocalypse uses Celestial tech, which would impress most people if they saw it, but in private he admits he doesn't understand it. It's not always easy to compare this stuff.

If we compared Archimedes or Newton to some guy on the street today who has 500 apps on his iPhone, drives a car with onboard computer systems and GPS navigation, and microwaves his genetically modified food to eat, I think I know who I would still bet on as likely to be the most 'intelligent'.

I'm not saying that Kang is smarter though, and that's exactly my point.

But Kang by his own right is a genius, as his advances in time physics are a personal development -including constructing multiversal artifacts-, and he's an expert in robotics since he was a kid. With low tech he managed to remain in suspended animation for millenia and altered XIXth century tech so he could control robots a century later. Just for the record.

Doctor Doom - Over 9000.

Post the scene... I don't remember the term spy tech used.. and just remember it as Thanos tech in general is more advanced. Do you remember thanos creating an all new gem? that ranks up there with being greater than anything do has ever done.

Surely you don't wanna talk about losses... my god... Doom has so many more of them compared to Thanos it's not even funny. In fact, when Doom gets duped and punked it's by earth's heroes.. when Thanos does... it's by skyfathers or cosmics. You're right, they are worlds apart.

IM was a Thanos clone. Warlock is a good point. Annihilus did dupe him, but Thanos was on his way to setting things right, until Drax stepped in..

And there's no shame in getting spanked by Galactus, or eventually getting killed by an entity tailor made to kill you. But when he had the Cosmic Cube, Infinity Gauntlet, or HOTU, no hero could take it from him. The same can't be said of Doom with, say, Galactus's power, as Reed Richards usually manages to take his power from him.

And Doom repaid him by spanking him twice thereafter. Thanos still wets his bed over what Galactus did to him. THOTU is irrelevant. Again, if TOAA wants you to have something, that's not a feat of Thanos', it's TOAA's. Reed used the Cosmic Cube to take Galactus' power away. I'm sure if a foe had an artifact of equal or greater power, they'd have taken Thanos' power away also.

Doom's armor analyzed the Beyonder's energies, but he used Galactus' tech to actually steal the power from the Beyonder.

^ Techincally speaking, he transmuted his own armor with Galactus' power actually.

You never... ever want to get into a discussion talking about who has lost more.. and certainly not who has lost mroe to earth's heroes... they are worlds apart with Thanos not losing as much and being considerably more powerful in general. WHen Galactus, Tyrant and Odin meet Thanos... the certainly view him as an exponentionally more dangerous foe than Doom.. Doom they would just laugh at.

Your forget and always leave out.. Thanos was CHOOSEN because of his experience with ultimate power and his body being used to having power coercing through his body... Doom was NOT choosen because he's inferior to Thanos is this way.. and virtually ever way for that matter.

Thanos has taken over the universe(s) multiple times over... Doom can't even take over earth... again you're right.. they are worlds apart in temrs of power and accomplishments.

Doom has taken over Earth... Twice, if you count 2099.

Immortus has more timellines than Thanos over his control

None of that is directly related with intelligence though.

Doom is about as meaningful and as good at taking over earth as Poccy... yeah it's close to that bad. That must suck huh?

You forget Adam Warlock's take on it don't you... after it was revealed how it was all set in motion... You were choosen because of you WILL Titan. Funny enough, doom with his so called high will power.. wasn't up to the task. Then again, much like in every other category in terms of powers and abilities... Doom is far far behind Thanos.

Taking over earth 1 time (no future take over) in HOW MANY tries.. shit.. forget about taking ove earth.. he gets thwarted each and every time he appears.

While that still doesn't directly relate to intelligence, it's true that Doom always means to control Earth and fails, while Thanos and Kang fail because their efforts are half-hearted and they don't go all out.

Doom's succeeded and gave it up voluntarily because he was bored. Not because he was b1tchmade and knew he wasn't worthy of it (like Thanos) or couldn't man up and beat Cap (like Kang).

Comic?

I heard of something similar, but it happened in a novel, not a comic book.

Emperor Doom, a classic, in continuity.

That happens when you don't know the characters you are debating about.

And yet Doom still tries to conquer the world, talk about lacking of character growth

Kang kind of gave it up voluntarily by ignoring Marcus horniness towards Ms. Marvel, Thanos is just a wuss.

Doom already admitted Thanos tech is more advanced. Period. No amount of spinning changes this fact.

That doesn't make him smarter. It means he had access to the technology of an advanced alien society, the Titans.

T'Challa is a moron. He spent his honey moon with Storm reading books.

You are actually being retarded now. That's not an actual retort. Like Doom you fail here.

Thanos has failed and failed.

Voldemort has failed and failed...and failed.

Villains fail, that's what they do.

Villains fail, that's what they do. You're missing the point. Yes, at the end of the day the villain always fails but my point is reaching their goals. Thanos does so while Doom tries and tries. He fails before he reaches his goals unlike Thanos.

He also beat MOD.

Quan, you're wrong, just accept it.

Thanos has taken out half of the universe's population, acquired the cc, and the hotu. He's also recently taken out the cancerverse and the hold life had over death there. Doom's good but Thanos is the best.

Doom once beat Bada in a fight. He wins.

Those are not small time goals. Stealing cosmic beings powers and beating cosmic beings isn't small time goals. Doom has also had a cc.

Doom has accomplished his goals.

You lost, accept it.

You lost, accept it. It's the truth. Stealing surfer's power was a big upgrade for Doom but something like that doesn't even register on Thanos' radar. Too small time. Doom failed to acquire the ig and the hotu both of which Thanos acquired.

Thanos is the best.

T'challa could be smarter than Thanos by feats

And let's face it, the most succesful villain in Marvel is Kang.
