dont know y panther is always put on this list, he's not impressive

He decked Mephisto and armbarred Silver Surfer. If anything Tony has nothing on him.

^^^So he's PIS/CIS friendly.

so the consensus seems to be Maker wins this?

im suprised that panther is so low on many people's lists here

isn't he sort of the polymath of the group...but maybe that doesnt mean he has the most raw intellect?

he might not be on maker, reed or doom's level

but he is on at least pym/stark's level...right?

Pym is so far past Stark it's laughable.

He could beat Stark at Stark's own game

[list=1][*]Maker
[*]Reed (616)
[*]Dr. Doom
[*]Hank
[*]Tony
[*]T'Challa
[/list]Anyone who disagrees is wrong.

I'll concede Maker on the basis of lack of knowledge of him on my part but how do Reed & Doom beat Pym?

is t'challa on pym's level?

Everyone here is better than Pym, that's for sure.

t'challa might not be on the level of ult reed, reed, doom, pym

but he is at least surely superior to tony right..he has outsmarted tony many times

T'Challa isn't smarter than Stark. Neither is Pym I don't think. Each go through their up and downs depending on the writer but Stark is getting the push now, especially under Hickman while Slott would have Pym getting the edge back in the day.

Anyone have scans of Reed comparing bus and Starks intellects recently in Avengers?

They might not be smarter but they have done more impressive stuff. Stark is smart but cannot replicate the nonsensical feats those two have done.

if t'challa has better feats than stark...why has he been getting ranked 5th or last by the consensus of this thread?

Because T'challa is less established as a Genius than Stark is, many of his showings come from his strategic mind or physical prowess and his intelligence is not as present. From there, people qualify his stupid feats as outliers and continue repping Tony.

At the end of the day both of them can be compared, Tony is more consistent and T'challa has higher end feats, that's it. I'd say Pym is established as having more consistently stupid feats than either of them.

Like what exactly?

Pym's infinite mansion and oververse shenanigans come to mind. Panther's Doom War interdimensional feat and decking Mephisto make him a two times champion over trans/skyfather level threats.

Now Pym and Ultron are fused, does Stark have feats like casually containing a Black hole, hacking a doombot into an assistant or wiping out an entire species with a remote?

Hell in AvX Pym told Tony his "Phoenix-buster" would fail, before it did.
