Ten smartest heroes

Who would you say are the top ten brains in comics

Rules
Must be a hero
No robots or other other tech support

T'Challa
Reed
Will Magnus
Brainiac 5
Pym
Mr Terrific
Stark
Banner
Ray Palmer
Majestic.

Imho I'd say

1 tie between Pym and Richards
3 Stark
4 Banner
5 McCoy
6 T'challa
7 Dr. Nemesis
8 Cho
9 Mr Terrific
10 Bruce Wayne

Really? Mine wasn't in any order, btw - too difficult. But you'd put McCoy over Brainiac 5, Nemesis over Majestic and Batman over Will?

Btw, I realise I missed a few out, but I only used MArvel/DC, and tried to keep it 50/50.

Brainiac is a robot so I disqualified him, majestic like superman is an alien from an advanced race so its kinda hard to say how smart they are

I admit I forgot will is put him at 7 and bump everyone else down a peg

Brainy isn't a robot; he's a Coluan:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainiac_5 (yes, I know, Wiki...but still a good source for bio info).

As for Majestic, even for a Kherubim, he's very smart, and not in the way Superman is smart. He can research and build tech Reed would love to get, rewrite Kryptonian programming in seconds etc.

1. Professor Q
2. Reed Richards/Stark
3. Brainiac 5
4. Mr. Majestic
5. Ray Palmer/Will Magnus
6. Pym
7. Mr. Terrific
8. Bruce Banner
9. Bruce Wayne
10. Adam Strange

Not really in order, but those are it for me.

Unless you only want human heroes?

Good picks. Though didn't Q use PCs to augment her intelligence?

You think stark is smarter then pym?

I just said it's not in any real order. Professor Q can enhance her intelligence through by linking computers, but even without that, she's insanely smart.

I forgot the Chief from Doom Patrol. If you count him as a hero. He's smarter than Will Magnus, IMO. Probably on the level of a Hank Pym by feats.

There's something....familiar about him. Can't quite place it, almost...Professor-like.

Won't count him as a hero though; bit of a dick, really.

Hahah! Chief came before Xavier, though. About a month or so.

I just meant you paired stark with reed and put Pym later

T'Challa
Reed
Ozymandias
Cho
Majestic
Pym
Mr Terrific
Stark
Banner
Hank McCoy

No one has mentioned Cho

Chos abilities are mutant power based iirc wouldn't that discount them?

Doom is a hero btw

From now on anyone who doesn't mention Spider-man in top 10 will soon get ran over by an unknown speeding driver. It will be a terrible accident that noone will investigate...

I'm noticing a severe lack of Alexander Luthor Jr. in this thread.
