+1

Lex and Joker always find ways to impress.

Alexander Luthor Jr.

Interesting question: Post Infinite Crisis, is there a new Luthor family on Post-IC Earth-3?

After reading Civil War and OMD.

How many of you feel that Spiderman should be up that list?

Doom

In terms of all around high level functioning Batman or Doom probably takes the cake.

In terms of raw intellectual might Reed and Metron surpasse anyone I can think of. Some characters have probably have knowledge beyond even them in specific areas though.

Well if this is human intelligence, Master of the World needs to be mentioned

Lucifer

Lex Luthor from Superman: Red Son was freakishly smart

Ted Kord!!!

From both Marvel and DC , this is the concrete list of who is smartest.
1. Reed Richards and Doom. It is close to call
2)Lex Luthor
3)Ray Palmer
4) Mr. Terrific & Tony Stark tied
5)Bruce Wayne.

I put Bruce Wayne behind Luthor, Palmer, and Terrific because DC itself has stated that Mr. Terrific is the 3rd smartest man in the DC universe. Reed and Doom have battled for years and have been shown to be the top 2 brains in the Marvel universe.

Doom. it takes monumental amounts of talent to compensate for his ego and arrogance... and yet somehow, with all his preening, haughty and abrasive ways, he still manages to keep it all together, to pose a threat to the universe and to even have Thanos' respect!

of all creatures in the Marvel Universe, I'd put Galactus top, then Thanos then Warlock or something...

doubt anyone of the humans comes close.

Reed. The ****ing guy made a ****ing invention to connect the Ultimate/616 Marvel Universes. That's the most impression knowledge feat ive ever seen.

Didnt he also found a way to get to heaven/meet "god" not too long ago, before Civil War? Also, He's bound to solve Earths issues as poverty, hunger and what not(per recent issue). Reed is a good candidate for smartest man.

Amadeus Cho!
he's still a kid and he's already running rings around SHIELD, Reed, Banner etc...

give him a lever and a pivot and he'll move the universe! ✅

or a grape ...

The real Peter was captured by the Skrulls just after the events of the other!
They'd developed technology capable of deceiving Mephisto so they could use him to destroy the Earth heroes time line and many any since of their history completely chaotic! 😮‍💨

Apparently one of the Ted Kords from Countdown Arena was pretty bright

All aroung knowledge: Bruce Wayne.

Hey no one mentioned The Beast or Forge. Lobo is also supposed to be a super genius believe or not. The smartest guy all around is most likely the Exemplar Stonecutter.
