What ranking would you place these characters in terms of universal knowledge.
This is not a who is more intelligent i.e. Thor vs. Hank Pym. Hank is more intelligent but Thor's knowledge of the universe is far greater.

Dr. Doom
Thor
Doctor Strange
Silver Surfer
Gladiator
High Evolutionary
Reed Richards
Warlock
Heimdale(sp?)
Nova
Quasar

I had put some other characters on here but thought they would be on a different "tier"...such as Thanos-Odin-Uatu-Ego, etc-

Reed Richards should be #1 for sure. His mind/knowledge was used by the Alien Entity as the blueprint through which the whole of Marvel was reconstructed from nothingness:

Galactus also noted that Reed possesses a "universally relevant intelligence":

And lastly, after gleaning the omnipotence/omniscience of the Beyonder, Doom(who, himself, has created a working universe with an Infinity Gauntlet) outright stated that Reed was smarter than himself... He even went as far as saying that he was "humbled" by the superiority of Reed's intelligence:

Ookaaay...that puts Reed at #1
I'd put Strange at 2 then
Warlock
Surfer
Thor
Quasar
Doom

Heimdall's a good pick. Warlock too, because of his unique relationship with the abstracts and because he's wielded the entire Infinity Gauntlet for a while. A lot of that knowledge goes away once the gauntlet is gone, but there are at least a few instances where information was retained...and certainly a deeper understanding of how the cosmos worked. I'd put them at #2-3. Strange would be my #4.

Does the Worldmind count for Nova? If so, he may make the top 5. If not, he's at the bottom of the list.

Gold Prime Superman with access to the Source.

Given that these character's are being ranked on their relative knowledge of the Marvel Universe, I'm pretty sure Gold Prime Superman would rank directly at the bottom of the list.

Reed doesn't even know about the mystical dimensions.

The Doom in SW1 was a shadow of his true self.

Doom is obviously the number 1 choice.

Good call my friend.
