No, obviously not about the chess part. I know you don't make stuff up. But the part about how comic Stark is smarter than Reed.
Originally posted by Publius IIYou could make a case for it but actually they're roughly equals. Now I think it was Rogue Jedi who said their are different areas of "smarts". That couldn't be more true here. If were speaking strictly 616 here, Tony is most good in engineering. Whereas Reed is better in astronomy, math, biology ect. But the handbooks both list them as 6. Just b/c Tony beat Reed in chess there doesn't mean he's a better strategist. Cap "was" the leader of the Avengers. Richards "is" the leader of the Fantastic Four(the group the gov't calls first).
To Stark being smarter? One could easily make a case for it.
