Lol....I thought it was Wildstorm, I read the OP and was like WTF? until I re-read it again.

Mshinu Star for a Brain

I would go to Odin for information. Unlike the others, you can TRUST a Viking God. Plus, I am a Norwegian

DC zeus because of being part of the quientessence is said to know everything about the whole universe,
Odin also knows alot about the universe.

both of these guys are at least 50,000 years old they have the most

K Von Doom Second fiddle

K Von Doom: Uatu, what would happen if I did this?
Uatu: Take a look for yourself.
K Von Doom: How about if I did that?
Uatu: Have another look.

Uatu

Why isn't DC Captain Marvel on here??

Lord Feron Senior Member

Odin and Uatu should be among the top. I believe there is quite gape between the top 3-4 and everyone else.

Uatu is probably much older than that, maybe nearly as old as the universe itself.
Metron is around ten thousand years old I believe but he's traveled back in time to the beginning and has probably seen the end as well. Along with Phantom Stranger (who in retrospect I should have put in this list) he's the closest DC has to an Uatu.

Uatu was around when Galactus was 'born' so yes

A very subtle question; Wisdom doesn't *necessarily* equate to knowledge or experience: many knowledgable characters, such as Reed Richards and Ray Palmer, still lack certain intuitive insight that goes hand in hand with Wisdom; similarly, even very experienced beings, such as Braniac and Darkseid, while displaying forethought and extremely advanced planning, don't always reach beyond their "programming" and/or "unreasoning desire" to truly gain a new level of awareness beyond what they already have (even if they believe otherwise).

Even the gods -- Zeus and Odin -- who possess great knowledge and and/or have pursued a greater understanding, sometimes at great cost (Odin), are as known for their foolish mistakes, hubris, and lack of wisdom as they are for their relative comprehension.

Not going to try to put these characters in a definitive order, other than to agree with some posts above that Uatu and Metron are probably the "wisest" of those listed, on a "celestial" level, while Dr. Strange and Batman are the "wisest" on a more mortal level, relatively speaking.

For generally science stuff, I'd go to Brainiac.

For mystic/divine information, I'd go to Odin.

And for cosmic/universal information, I'd go to Ganthet, Metron, or Thanos.

(Just citing your post as an example for what I am noticing)

Several posters seem to be confusing the idea of intellect/knowledge with wisdom/insight; none of those above questions have anything to do with wisdom. Just saying.
