Reeds probably about the smartest person in comics naturally and his I.Q. is rated at 300. There's a 17 year old college professor in Nashville with a 300 I.Q.
So while it is incredible, its still entirely possible and not superhuman. 😉

300 is, literally, off the charts and no reliable IQ tests exist to measure people with IQs above the 150 range. Also, anyone with an IQ of 300 *cough* can tell you that IQ is a terrible way of measuring intelligence.

Well, with Reed, it's also been implied that the cosmic radiation increased his intelligence- he can "stretch" his brain to become smarter.
i believe that idea's unique to ultimate reed richards. i couldn't point out the issue number, but i'm pretty sure it's established that 616 reed's intelligence was just as expansive before the accident as after.

Hm, really? Sure I've seen hints somewhere.
It's referenced in "Earth X," which of course, is not connected to Earth 616 continuity- he expands the portions of his mind necessary for telepathy in order to use Cerebro. Always thought that was a pretty cool feat.

Originally posted by Starscream MOf course, it's the ability to aquire and understand knowlege, not knowledge itself. IQ is about potential. Would you argue that today's youth have more or less potential of understanding than in Newton's time?
not reallyIQ and knowledge are not the same
We might have more knowledge today than Newton, but he still has a higher IQ

Tony mentions it in SecretInvasion.

IQ isn't about anything.

Plus basically just being this young dude who figures out by observing that Bruce Wayne is Batman... a feat that pretty much no one else in the DC Universe has ever replicated.... leading Young Justice and the Titans without metahuman powers.... what other team with powerhouses on the level of Superboy, Kid Flash, or Wonder Girl has a unmodified human leader? Or beating down Jason Todd, who had YEARS of experience on Tim Drake....
Pretty damn impressive for someone who doesn't even shave regularly.
