Thor's pretty smart. He knows everything Blake does and vice versa, and Blake is heralded as being one of the best doctors in the world. He's not a super genius like Apoc, or arguably Superman, but he's not an idiot, either. He's also a superb warrior and has a strong grasp of tactics, as vouched by Rogers himself.

how nany millennia has he struggled to grasp the cast off artefacts he has kept from The Celestials? Apocalypse, on feats, wouldn't even make the top 20 of Marvel Earth.that said, I only included him in the stupid pile as a joke, but I believe Superman might be more intelligent and Thor has access to methods of boosting his intellect significantly I think.
Apocalypse is most certainly more intelligent than anyone else in this list who couldn't even understand his tech - let alone superman. His understanding of most aspects of physical reality and acumulated knowledge on just about any field is also a good deal above them. He is a jobber, but that's it. DS may be a dumb underperformer in comics, but to claim he is stupid or that Batman is smarter than him is just absurd.

SM is a supergenius? Really?

Hmm... Superman's powers would be super exploitable. Juggernaut is too one dimensional. Green Lantern has some great powers but is limited by the ring in ways that may interfere with my style. I'm not sure what Apocalypse's powers even are. Thor has some nice powers too, and is pretty metal, but if I'm going to be defending something, of the options presented Thor doesn't allow me to be cheap enough. So that leaves me with Flash.As Flash, I would use my powers to Jay Garrick it but it's more probable that I'd spend my time trying to advance my powers, mostly for the ability to fly, instead of acquiring knowledge.

recall that?the phasing and running shit is unnecessary. the Earth isn't that big, Supernan's nearly as fast as Flash so that makes no difference here. Thor's fast enough to get around the world in seconds too.

Flash isn't that useful.
1. air buffer circle run or hand tornado... or climb in the second the plane is close enough and get ppl out.. probably some ppl will be dead by then..
2. digs a trench at superspeed or takes everyone away at superspeed from the volcano.. tsunami steals its speed stopping tsunami dead in its tracks...... million sand bag break wall...
😂 🤣
the real problems would be an asteroid/meteor... solar flare sun problems.. nuclear war missiles
only if you think that flash's powers is always on and not something he can consciously control or turn off... and him being hit when not expecting it is all pis b/c he is suppose to react at FTL all the time which would drive him mad b/c we have seen him speed up his perception as well as slow it down and comment how he feels about the world around him..
flash is not always feeling or seeing the world like he is on crack he turns it off and on.. which is why he can be hit in the face when some one yells made you look!!
Not only. I'm sure there's space for leeway but while digging a ditch in a split second to divert lava is handy, you're still digging a ditch. It would take a man hours to dig a ditch. You'd spend an hour or two pulling people off that plane, normally. You might be able to cut it down, from your perspective, to an extent but still. You don't want to get too sloppy or you'll chop people in half trying to pick them up and carry them to safety. It's a gift and a curse.

RS-rads I'll give ya, but theres NO WAY Doom would know about Supes being weak to an specific type of a certain element that wouldnt exist anywhere w/in the MU.
anyways, my choice would be Green Lantern. 😄

from wat Ive read, it mostly works out to Kal-El being a super-calculator, rather than being a straight-up genius
