You are correct, i apologize. Could have sworn you'd quoted the OP earlier.In regards to this thread, the right answer is Reed, Doom, BP.
Top 5, top 10? Hit me with your list.1. Reed Richards- respectedany most as the smartest man in the world and master of all feilds of science, particularly cosmic radiation and antimatter physics (negative zone)
2. Dr. Doom- Some may say that Doom is the evil intellectual counterpart to Richards in all fields of science, however, Doom has also perfected a field that many would dare claim as science, dark magic. Although Pym has stated that "Magic is just science that I have yet to figure out." Doom is also a genius in the fields of robotics and energy absorption/manipulation.
3. Hank Pym- dubbed as the scientist supreme, Pym is the leading man in the fields of biocybernetics (ultron), bio-particle physics, and multi dimensional physics (Pym particles/micro- and macroverses)
4. Bruce Banner- always portrayed to be a master of radiation biophysics, particularly high frequency gamma rays absorption; as of late, Banner has been shown to also be a master of many other fields of science ranging from technology (force fields/teleportation) to genetics (cellular manipulation of his own DNA to control the Hulk). We also see in Fall of the Hulks story arc that Banner is a master strategist.
5. Tony Stark- always seen as the leading innovator of all things tech, Stark is particularly known for his works in weaponry and being a master at futurism, the ability to predict future problems and develop solutions before they even present themselves. However, after the civil war and secret invasion, we come to realize that Starks genius is best served on the circuit boards.
^^^Thats pretty much the top 5 right there.
Then you have guys like:
Amadeus Cho-mathematics/physics
Hank McCoy-genetics
M.O.D.O.K.-genetics
The Leader-radiation
High Evolutionary-genetics
Mr. Sinister-genetics
Charles Xavier-neuroscience/psychology/tech
Dr. Nemesis-physiology
Prodigy-many fields
Cypher-technology/code
Forge-technology
Noh-Varr-technology
Arnim Zola-genetics
Magneto-Electromagnetism/Technology/physiology
And many more.
So yeah, BP breaking the top 10? Not IMO. Not to say he's dumb. Not to say he cant invent things.
But he's the King of one of the most advanced nations on the planet. He doesnt have to be the smartest. He has people for that. Heck, he has Reed for that.
