A GL Ring vs. Supermans powers

The ability to think at 300 million times faster than a regular person might not make you "super-intelligent", but on that note, it would grant you far more time to think about everything you're doing in a given moment and combined with physiology that prevents the breakdown of nervous tissue and ensures optimal health of said nervous tissue, the fact remains that your brain would be in a constant state of hyper awareness which would far exceed even some of the most brilliant minds of Earth.

Don't get me wrong; it's not going to make you super smart in all fields or anything like that, but it would give you the appearance of being super smart at the very least, due to the increased memory retention, increased reaction time, and increased thinking speed. In short, with Superman's physiology, you could learn more in a month than the average human would in their entire lifetimes. Say for example you sucked at chess - you wouldn't become a chess champion overnight, but you would now have the ability to memorize every chess book ever made and become a genius at chess in the matter of a few weeks.

I hear ya, but that only means U have more time to process information which would make ya knowledgeable, but thats not the same as being intelligent (which has to do with equal parts gathered information AND application of said.)

U can be the most knowledgeable person in the world, but also be a complete dumbass in how U go about doing things.

so again, Supes is not "super-INT".

As opposed to saying, "Ring, make me super intelligent." Bada-bing-bada-boom done deal. 😬

Although id take the ring persoanlly, and im no GL expert, but i dont think the ring can make you a genius or highly intelligent.

Someone correct me if im wrong. I know that the ring is super intelligent in itself. It can give you answers, calculations, probabilities etc, but not make you super smart.

Well you could use the ring to re-write parts of your brain to allow yourself the opportunity to become more intelligent. This in turn would allow you to use the ring in better ways to increase your intelligence even further, and so on and so-forth until you have a giant green brain floating above your head doing all your thinking.

Of course when the ring's power wears out, being slammed back into your limited brain might be a little... disorienting, to say the least. 😄

You mean do brain surgery on myslef? If im not a surgeon, i dont think the ring can do that on its own. I cant say "Ring re-write my brain to make me smarter." Its not Magic. The ring cant operate on its own like that ,and i myself wouldnt have the knowledge to do it.

wouldnt be a worry; physical changes to matter remain even after the Ring has lost power.

so if U did make yurself super-smart by it, U would likely remain so.
