As for the athena comment... Do you mean the device that was gonna create a new universe and destroy the old one... Cause You mean in marvel
My tendency in these intelligence threads (there have been others) is to compare those named to The Doctor (Doctor Who). He has a couple comic titles, but I suppose he's mostly television, so he's likely invalidated from formal discussion here. But he really does make almost everyone named look like 2nd graders. Only the really top tier intelligence guys have feats and tech that can match his. Guys like Reed or Doom might have more tech-building feats to their name, but nobody deciphers completely foreign tech, biology, mathematics, physics, etc. more quickly than The Doctor. So I'd put him at #1 of anyone listed in offhand knowledge and in ability to assimilate new knowledge, but further down the list for tech creation, somewhere around Beast.
Anyway, I'd add him to the list if we're doing indie titles.

Outwit? Rough question. He's got more at his disposal than Batman in terms of standard tech, so it's a lopsided battle. Do I think Batman could fool the Doctor somehow? Sure. The Doctor's daft as hell sometimes despite his brilliance...sometimes sacrifices common sense for more analytical genius. But there's not an intelligence feat Batman has that The Doctor couldn't replicate.
Originally posted by Digiso the doctor's intelligence is more the 'understanding complex equations' variety...could he really be superior in that aspect than brainiac...a damn sentient computer?
