in this case i'd say it's a bit unreal. prof hulk rarely used his abilities as a scientist to build weapons and devices to use against enemies or opponents he knows he will be fighting. instances where he knew in advance he would be fighting thor and iron man come to mind. he still chose to go into the battle with only his fists. why not come up with some sure fire way to beat them, rather than risk battle against to foes who have beaten him? reed and doom are inventors, bruce is a scientist of nuclear physics. smart yes, but smart in a different way from doom and reed. i don't see him using prep time as effectively - in some cases he chooses not to use it at all. (that's not to say he has NEVER used it, or NEVER used it well. just that i think the odds are against it.)

hmm stop smart people are probably first Thanos then Doom and Reed then Stark and then Banner. I guess Banner never really had the chance to do any great scientific feats being in The Hulk so much.
That doesn't make him any less intelligent. All of the people you mentioned are on the same level of intelligence. Marvel level 6.
There others who attempted to counteract Darkseid's Omega Beams. Spent YEARS trying to counteract it. And it was completely fruitless. If the New Gods after years of study and god-like technology cannot counteract the Omega Beams, then Professor Hulk isn't counteracting in only two weeks. Add Doomsday and Prof. Hulk is ****ed.
