Well, you could say that about any prodigy underachiever, though. But when we're trying to measure "smartness", we're usually talking about something measurable, e.g. a list of achievements.
The fact that Doom can function at the highest levels in both science and sorcery, when the elites of the elite spent their entire lives trying to master just one of those multi-disciplines, is a major achievement.

Doom, Reed and Pym have expertise that span most areas/fields of expertise.
Beast might jump ahead in genetics, Banner at gamma shit and Iron Man's probably better at robotics, but other then that these three take the top spot imo. [/QUOTE
I agree with this guy!]

Doom is the 3 smartest people in Marvel./thread 👆

Tbf, Doom did get at least one upgrade in magical power (from those 3 demons after Vic killed the love of his life), so it was a shortcut.
Originally posted by Henry_PymNo, because Doom doesn't simply kill Reed with his magic which he easily could. Or even when he beats him it's only temporary because he's a villain.
Playing devil's advocate: <<<<<Wouldn't Doom being a high powered Mage whose major nemesis is known to have a massive gap vs magic; yet still beats Doom make Doom look very weak.
