Who's The Smartest Superhero Ever?

whos the smartest superhero ever?

Parker was a genious. So was Banner. But technically Banner wasn't a super hero, I guess. And who is Iron Man, isn't that Tony Stark. I think he was supposed to be some sort of genious. Bruce Wayne may be up there, but not genious.
Reed Richards
I don't know. I'm just throwing out names for the debate.

My money probably goes to Parker. Hell, he did something at 17 years of age that Dupont and 3M and others have been trying to do for at least 100 years.

🙄 Yeah, right.

It's between Tony Stark, Reed Richards, Bruce Banner (not as The Hulk,) and Hank Pym.

I say the smartest Superhero ever is Reed Richards, but the smartest character (villain, in this case) is Doctor Octopus.

I am gonna have to disagree with you. I think Doom is much smarter than Doc Ock...

majestic. or i guess you could say pre-crisis supes, and reed

Reed Richards is usually in the center of any big decision made during a crisis (Secret Wars I and II)

He and Doom would probably be the same, but since Doom is slightly off (you know being a megalomaniac and all), Reed gets the nod over Doom.

Reed is easily the smartest superhero ever.

or Iron Man...

Hero: Reed Richards
Villain: Dr. Doom

what about that Braniac 5 (i think) kid from the Legion of Superheroes?

and before Long Pig comes storming in i'll add Deathstroke to the smartest villains list (not science smart.... just smart, smart... scary smart, smart)

oh yeah..... the Engineer from the Authority is pretty freakin' smart.... she could make Iron man or Doom wet themselves when it comes to tech knowledge

Atom
batman
beast
doctor octopus

Hero, scientifically: either Mr. Fantastic or Iron Man

Hero, tactically: either Captain America or Batman

Villain, scientifically: either Dr. Doom or Galactus

Villain, tactically: either Thanos or the Red Skull

Who has more scientific knowledge - Dr Doom or Galactus?

lol

How much of a detective do you really have to be to solve crimes in Gotham? Eyewitness reports of a man who resembles a penguin... wonder who it could be? a woman dressed in a catsuit... scarecrow in drag? a man with acid burns over half his face... i bet it's the riddler... nah j/k. Batman/Bruce Wayne's no idiot. But he's not a genius level mind either.

Marvel Universe
Hero: Reed Richards
Villain: Victor von Doom

(I know what I just said but) in DCU the only person I can think of is Batman. Weird - cos I don't think he comes close to Banner, Richards or Stark in a battle of the brains. Tactically he might trump them I guess.
DCU villains Luthor maybe? But that's more cunning and ruthlessness than intelligence.

Would be interesting to see a Batman vs. Dr Doom crossover.

what about Black Panther?
