So who is it? Human/human characters with powers to be more precis.

Reed Richards? Peter Parker? Dr. Doom? Black Panther? Tony Stark? Superman? Batman? The Flash? Lex Luthor? Etc....

I was reading the thread about richest comic book characters, and Only Black Panther that was praised for being one of the smartest in the Marvel universe.

Squirrel Girl

Squirrel Girl

Lol

OP better narrow it down to meta humans otherwise it's each universe's respective omnipotent beings

 

[Delta Assault]

The Punisher.

Dude managed to kill the entire Marvel Universe.

 

[akachan ningen]

Tony stark

 

[teruterubozu]

Doctor Manhattan? He seemed pretty intelligent.

 

[Stet]

Hector Hammond?

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Lol

I did limited it to humans/humans with powers.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Reed Richards, followed by Doom, followed by Apocalypse maybe. And then way down at the end of the food chain is Amadeus Cho.

 

[Slayven]

Reed Richards is the smartest non cosmic dude.

 

[Ahasverus]

Reed Richards no?. If we're talking about human humans, well, probably Luthor or Morgan Freeman in batman.

 

[Kinyou]

Batman with enough prep time

 

[wamberz1]

My bad, missed that.

Pretty sure Reed Richards is the smartest of the ones you mentioned.

I edited and included it since your recommendation made plenty of sense

 

[Slayven]

Batman is note even the smartest in the B tier of super genius.

 

[MisterHero]

Superman. He's not a glory hound though.

That's good, glad to know i'm not going crazy.

Also wasn't there some kid who was like the 5th smartest person on the planet? and his entire power revolved around his intelligence? I remember him from an extra chapter at the end of the planet hulk volume or something.

Amadeus Cho

 

[massoluk]

Does Yang Wen-li count?

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Don´t Superman and the Flash learn things extremely fast? Flash´s brains functions faster than normal human brains, which make him one of the smartest characters around, iirc.

 

[Delta Assault]

He's not in a comic book, so... no.

 

[Megadragon15]

Ted Kord.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Am I gonna get laughed out of the thread for mentioning Professor X?

He reads minds ffs.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Richard Reid

The Shoe Bomber??

EDIT: Boooo, you edited it so now my post doesn't make sense.

 

[Goldrush]

Hank Pym.gif

Hey, you're talking about the Scientist Supreme here.

 

[Blades64]

Isn't Reed's daughter (Victoria?) supposed to be even smarter than him?

 

[MisterHero]

IIRC New 52 Superman gained 10 years of medical training by reading a bunch of books to stop Lois Lane's internal bleeding. But yeah I don't think they'll make "super learning" a routine skill.

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

Hank Pym
Reed Richards
Tony Stark

In that order.

 

[StoOgE]

Second day in a row I had to come into a thread to mention Mister Terrific.

Except for Future's End Mr. Terrific who doesn't appear to be that smart.

But still.

Mr. Terrific.

Though I guess he is technically 3rd in the DC universe.

I don't know who the other two are.

Luther
??? (Batman?)
Mr. T

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Lex Luthor is pretty smart. I would say he is smarter than Batman.

IIRC New 52 Superman gained 10 years of medical training by reading a bunch of books to stop Lois Lane's internal bleeding. But yeah I don't think they'll make "super learning" a routine skill.

I have seen it in some cartoons/series he blitz reads a book and he can remember all the details. I can´t remember which. Doesn´t that ability put him above RR?

[Data West]

It's Reed.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

It's Reed.

What´s the context?

 

[Data West]

What´s the context?

An interdimension multiverse where there's a utopia because of multiple Reeds with infinity gauntlets.

In contrast, there's also the interdimensional Reeds that can kill anything they wish when put together.

 

[Slayven]

What´s the context?

The Council of Reeds are Reeds that have taken over their universes and recruit others to do the same.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Batman with enough prep time

Well, technically anybody, with enough prep time. I think that follows from the definition of "enough."

 

[Mistouze]

It's Reed.

His girl Valeria is smarter than him.

 

[quickwhips]

Reed Richards, followed by Doom, followed by Apocalypse maybe. And then way down at the end of the food chain is Amadeus Cho.

Hank Pym needs to be in there. Also Hank Mccoy.

 

[Kuraudo]

Jimmy Corrigan - the Smartest Kid on Earth.

 

[TAJ]

The Punisher.

Dude managed to kill the entire Marvel Universe.

He pretty seriously outsmarted Tony Stark in regular continuity, too.

 

[bobawesome]

Light Yagami

Spoiler

If he's so smart

Spoiler

why is he dead?

 

[sn00zer]

The Council of Reeds are Reeds that have taken over their universes and recruit others to do the same.

Oh man had no idea 'The Council of Ricks' from Rick and Morty came from this

The council of Reeds wanted to take over the multiverse. Well i guess that some of the Reeds in these universes are dark. I would guess the council decided to take over the multiverse because they think they can bring peace to it or something.

Holy shit is this what the Council of Ricks is based on?

 

[Kraftwerk]

Can the Council of Reeds combine like Voltron and be even smarter? :0

 

[MisterHero]

I have seen it in some cartoons/series he blitz reads a book and he can remember all the details. I can´t remember which. Doesn´t that ability put him above RR?

Well he can obviously do it, but he's not an active inventor or anything like that. So other more resourceful characters are above him. I could not recall any feats that could compete with these other guys.

But his parents were two of the smartest people on one of the most advanced planets in the universe. And Superman has been living under a yellow sun for decades. The potential is there. It would take some crazy strong writing to explore it though.

 

[Slayven]

It's an old idea. Kang did it first

 

[krypt0nian]

Brainiac 5 (Querl Dox) would have these chumps Quantumsterilize his test tubes...

I mean if they passed the entrance testings.

 

[The Technomancer]

Arguing about this is like comparing power levels in Star Wars, since its all just vague crap designed to sound awesome.
