Superman's ability to process information quickly due to superspeed contributes to his "super intelligence", but he is stated as being as smart as Jor-El at the least on numerous occasions. Superman strikes me as being across the board smart, with an aptitude toward Kryptonian science/tech as well as a profound grasp of Earth's various sciences and historical facts.
^Time came to a complete halt when darkseid was taken by black racer and superman singed him out of existence.

...Which is why Superman's feat is beyond Reed. A task that would likely take Reed days, took Superman seconds. I understand Supes has heightened abilities, but that's not his fault. 🙁So not only did he have the intelligence/memory to analyze every nut and bolt in the entire Miracle Machine, but he remembered where the bolts were located, what they held, etc... After studying it for only a few seconds. He then recalled all of that info from memory, drew up some blueprints, and subsequently built it. Kudos to Supes on that one. Really demonstrates how fast he can think.

A photographic memory and super speed building does not equate to being smarter. For instance, the Flash could disarm a bomb far quicker than Batman, but this does not mean that he is smarter than Batman.

Really, he can build a new operating miracle machine by memorizing the blueprints of a permanently shut down miracle machine? I never knew car mechanics also create new engines.

He created a new, operating miracle machine after seeing the permanently shut down miracle machine for a few seconds. Destroying something is far easier than creating something usually.
Which equates to him having a photographic memory, and the speed in which to execute the task. This still does not mean that he is smarter than Reed Richards.

Originally posted by abhilegendLook my new friend, it is not a measure of superman being smarter than reed who could build machines from scratch that superman could not even turn on. Ok buddy?
Lulz.He memorized a PERMANENTLY shut down miracle machine. If he was replicating it as it was, it would've been useless.

Did he invent the original Miracle Machine? Reed has invented so many wild things, that by feats alone, he surpasses Superman. No one said that Kal is stupid, but as an all rounder Reed has him beat when it comes to mastering more scientific subjects. Look at Forge for instance, he's not as smart as Reed, but he can crank out anything that he can imagine.

Originally posted by abhilegendRING!! RING!!! RING!! Answer the phone man, reed can RECREATE that machine.. the key word is RECREATE.. superman did not CREATE that machine.
Did I mention reed anywhere in my previous posts? Really, when reed can recreate a machine that remakes the multiverse, call me.

Specializations does not mean that Superman is smarter than Reed, he may be able to do a few things better, but looking at the big picture, and comparing the both of them, Reed is more well rounded, and has mastered more scientific media than Superman. Reed after all is a scientist all day long while Kal, is a reporter.
