Originally posted by Wild ShadowWell, obviously Banner CAN build all the tech he's been pwning the MU with the past several months. dur
BS!! 😠he is highly intelligent in chemistry, nuclear physics and have some minor understanding in the other fields but no where near to build what he did.. that is PIS and goes against his entire history and past mechanical building feats..
he may be one of the many well known marvel scientist but that doesnt mean he can build and acquire the technology and material needed for such a task of building advance tech and being complimented by reed doesnt mean he jumps up a intellectual lvl.
Run your mouth about Banner again...
😛

Banner has always been one of the smartest men in Marvel. It's just his never gotten so much of the spot light for so long. Especially in recent time. When he has appeared he has reminded people of why his so damn intelligent.
The smartest people on Earth list usually goes like this:
Reed Richards
Dr. Doom
Stark/Pym/Banner (With each having the advantage over the other in their special field.)
I'm not including dudes like High Evolutionary or the Leader, because I just want a simple list.

Really? I find that hard to believe and rather silly to be honest.
Was this during his moping phase? Or during the time he was the designated giant smasher? His intelligence seemed to take a dive on my opinion. Or maybe it was because no one highlighted it at the time.
I doubt anyone thinks Parker is as smart as Pym. Especially with the new push Slott is giving him. He is the Scientist Supreme you know.

Basically between Spidey and Pym though, Pym was impressed with Peter's "spider tracer" and got kinda flustered when he found out Peter invented it when he was only 16 years old because it took him years to successfully get his tech to interact with his powers or something like that. He ended up saying something to the effect of "I don't know which to be more upset by the fact that a 16 year old kid is smarter than me or the fact that he wastes all his time punching things".

Well to be fair, I'm pretty sure Pym was talking about raw IQ rather than learned knowledge. From what I unstand Reed Richards himself has even commented on Spidey's high intelligence but lack of formal study.Basically between Spidey and Pym though, Pym was impressed with Peter's "spider tracer" and got kinda flustered when he found out Peter invented it when he was only 16 years old because it took him years to successfully get his tech to interact with his powers or something like that.

Even raw I.Q. wise I'd give Pym the nod over Parker. Especially currently when his intellect is being played up so much. Just read, Incredible Hulk #607 for one and I seriously doubt anyone would write Parker as smarter than Pym right now.
And I love the way Banner said that with Pym taken, he is know the smartest good guy on the planet. Seemed like he wanted to imply Pym might have the nod on him, or at the very least they are equal or on the same level.
Do you happen to know the issue number by any chance? I'd like to read or reread it if I have read the issue before.

Nope, don't remember the issue number. Sorry. But you could probably find it looking through Hank's appearances in Spidey's books. I don't remember when it's from exactly, but I know it wasn't too horribly long ago(definately late 90's or later).
Iight thanks man.
I'll look it up tomorrow. I have school in the morning so I gotta hit the sack.

One thing Reed said that stuck with me was this: "I pursue knowledge simply for the sake of knowledge. Doom pursues knowledge in the hopes of turning it into a weapon." I think both men have enough feats with their intellects squared off against each other to warrant they're equals or one is barely below the other and with each one one-upping the other from time to time.
