Charles Xavier has the ability to be smarter than Reeds... but I think an of-handed technique like, making Reeds practically brain-dead would be in order. Ah... gotta love those telepaths.

They did a what if Charles became the Juggernaut and during a fight with a bunch of heroes including the FF he linked his mind with all the greatest minds in the world and came up with a cure for the FF in a few minutes, it was pretty damn funny.

Gear from Static Shock..... 😐

Did everyone forget about Beast?

Take Palmer, Ivo, Batman, Brainiac, and Forge off that list, and it's good.

Palmer IVo and Batman def belong on the list. They could outthink Reed or keep up with him if they had to. Brainiac is Superior to Reed. He is a 12th lvl intellect amongst a race of genious who all share thier knowlege every night.

Oracle from birds of prey is smarter than reed

beast issn't smarter, but I have to say he knows more about Biophysics.
Beast doesn't have a superhuman intellect.

There's only ONE character that can be smarter than Reed:

Brainiac 13 or 14 or 15...one of those.

It's the one from Legionnaires....

Tony Stark maybe?

Hell no.

Wait, so when did Reed's intellect become superhuman? 😕

Don't think he's smarter, but like beast or sinister or any other smart character, on some fields they know more about it than Reed.

Definitely a possibility seeing as how Reed Richards is his B***h right now in Civil War.

The only person in Marvel who I think is definitely smarter than him is Thanos.

Does Galactus count?

it depends on what you mean by smart. reed might do better in a lab than bruce wayne, butin practical intelligence batman would be ahead.reed becomes facinated by strange new things easily and forgets everything else, in a combat situation that isnt all that smart to do.

the one person who stood out in my mind as soon as i saw this was thanos. hes pretty much mastered it all, science, planning, manipulating and combat intelligence.

as far as an actual iq goes id say reeds probably the highest on earth. modok is possibly smarter, as well as the leader, but i dont think apocalypse is. every second villain is supposed to have a genius iq, its tacked on to half their profiles. modulus from the sentient arc might be smarter too. doom is on reeds level, but not quite as smart. some of the others i dont know much about so i wont comment.

so discounting beings like galactus, the major one i see being smarter than reed in pretty much every way is thanos. hes always a step ahead, hes destroyed the universe, gained unlimited power more than once and he tricked the surfer into unwittingly helping him kill off half a planet as soon as he was revived. on top of that, he made a deal with mephisto and came out on top.

Everyone will jump on my case for this but, I believe that Peter Parker is smarter or at least just as smart as Reed! He just never really had the chance to let his intellect and skills mature to what he could have been as a scientist because of his becoming Spider-man.

HELL NO

I thought Doom was supposed to be smarter than Reed, even if only by a little.

Lucifer is definitely smarter(probably the smartest character ever), Braniac 5 is definitely smarter, Batman 1 million, Alexander Luthor is smarter the guy cooked up the entire Infinite Crisis (if that guys not smarter i doubt almost anyone else is)-

Master of the World?
