We falsely differentiate among those with genius level intellect based on their specific fields/interests when in actuality, genius is genius. Magnus had different goals/interests than Doom, so feats by either of them that can be accredited to intellect will differ. Doom creating an actual time machine does indeed trump anything Magnus has done. However, Magneto far outclasses Doom in the field of genetics.Being at work and not able to post my own research, here are some examples that Manjaro posted back on page 3 of the thread:
"simply because of his near unparalleled intellect, I'm inclined to give Doom the Benefit of the doubt, but one must consider that magneto is no dumb ass either. In fact he's a super genius in his own right, after all he did help Xavier design the original Cerebro and he has built robots, cloned himself a number of times, mutated humans giving them powers, and created artificial life. However, a downright battle between the two I would have to give this matchup to Magneto because he probably has more attacks than Doom has contingency plans.
I'm sure Doom's Battle Log would contain the following:
Astounding genius__(check)
De-magnetized armor___(check)
Endless Variety of weapons at my disposal__(check)
Mind Swapping Ability___(check)
Limited Command of Sorcery__(check)
Ability to mind f*ck opponents into frustration__(check)Warding off a barrage of metal objects traveling at mach5__(Rain check)
Defense against metal objects surrounding me in a spherical form thus making me the core of my own little metal planet__(umm see above entry)
Defense against 30,000lbs being dropped on my head__(Ditto)
Defense against someone that can naturally create more powerful force shields than my technology allows me to do__(insert Rain check here)
Defense against having my blood flow redirected_(No prayer)
Defense against being wrapped in a steel girder and subsequently hurled into deep space__(Scream for Mommy)"
