You 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).

No serious comic fan believes the handbook holds any value. Anyway, Reed is leagues above Stark in terms of overall intelligence.

I said that Connor is a genius tactician, so why would he need another?

Handbooks do hold value. Just not when there are a plethora of feats that contradict them.

That wasn't directed towards you.

And the terminators have state of the art tracking systems. They will see him surely, lead him as a target (as one would lead a running deer), and blast him out of the sky.

He can shoot fireballs out of his hands, and make sharp directional changes at optimal speeds. I think you're underestimating his agility. All i know is, if, i were the Human torch fighting Skynet, i'd win, because i'd rock his powers like a Pro and not like a pansy who can't out run a simple rocket 😠

It'd be a gamble, whether or not he is hit.

Cool thread, I really like this idea.

1. Storm and Cyclops - Storm can wipe out a large number of terminators from complete safety, and Cyclops could decimate an entire battlefield, but also comes with the draw-back of possibly getting killed by a stray laser.

2. Susan, Megatron, and Cyclops - Susan can create forcefields around Megatron and Cyclops while they wreak havok on the Terminators.

3. Cyclops, Megatron, Susan, and Yoda - Susan can create forcefields around Cyke and Megatron and Yoda can deflect lasers and with precog has a great chance of distracting the terminators while Megatron and Cyclops destroy Skynet.
