In space: Metron and Brainiac 5.

I would put Niles ahead of Lex and Ivo in general, yes?

And honestly so should batman. Now before you cry fanboy let me explain. He's a jack of all trades and is and expert in many different fields. He's a prep genius, and his mind is evidently of the greatest in DC.

Didn't Mr. Terrific school Bruce?

Bruce could barely detect Terrific in his cowl and was impressed enough with Holt's inventions that he had Wayne buy him out for a hefty price.

Though, the fact that Batman's lens were even able to pick up anything at all says a lot about Bruce's tech considering Terrific is otherwise invisible to it.

I do believe that Bruce wanted to draft Terrific away from the JSA as well.

👆 He was also able to create a device to destroy the Black Lanterns, travel through time, and his T Spheres are pretty versatile.

BTW, I feel DCnU Terrific is even more intelligent than Pre-Flashpoint version.

Hardly any talk on Ray Palmer, who I think is one of the best prep characters in comics. Right along with Stark and Pym, IMO.

Not only has he cracked the Hourman virus, which Superman 1M said was nearly impossible, he has created time machines, a machine able to defeat Superman (by plucking a being through time, AKA Atlas), creating the best shrinking technology in comics, and figured out how to negate a universe destroying phenomenon that had not been discovered.

Thanks to desaad for some of these feats.

I agree. That empty white room impressed me when I first saw it.

Look at it, so unimpressive yet so impressive at the same time 😄

I'm not talking about who is the best tech head, I'm talking about greatest minds overall. Bruce has more than his knowledge of robotics, he's the worlds greatest detective, psychology, anatomy, combat strategies, etc.

Oh and I'd include the Question.

Many of the geniuses I mentioned like Ray Palmer, Chief, TO Morrow, Luthor, and Terrific are also a jack of all trades.

Says the guy who said Metron was Omnipotent. 😮‍💨

Worlogog should give him nigh omnipotence, not my fault pis exists

We're not using Metron W/Worlogog, though. And he doesn't even have it currently.

Getting off topic,

But he built the thing...

Lol...I know. I keep rubbing my screen thinking something is wrong with it.

If he had the Worlogog, he would be omnipotent, but base intelligent, he isn't. And nowhere in any run of the NG's was it ever stated that he was. He's uber intelligent (easily on the likes of Reed and beyond Brainiac), but he's not omnipotent level.

He has omnipotence

That empty white room negated the powers of ANY superpowered being who entered it-- aside from Havok and his Extremists, of course:

I don't see Batman.

Cookie for you, sir.

Batman doesn't belong with the big 5, IMO. Maybe top 10, if he's lucky.
