Brainiac 5 (Querl Dox) would have these chumps Quantumsterilize his test tubes...
I mean if they passed the entrance testings.
Is that the one with Andromeda? That is the only one I recognize.
Who is the smartest comic book character?

The thing with Reed against all the other super intellects of comics is they don't have Reed's obsessiveness.
Part of the point of the Council of Reeds was to show that Reed would basically go nuts without Sue and would either take over the world or blow it up to 'fix' all the problems. iRobot style, baby.

well memorising something and knowing how something works are different. Flash couldn't invent a time machine from scratch for example.
on Earth it's
Luthor
Ray Palmer? or Dr.Magnus or T.O Morrow
Mr. Terrific.
but the smartest person in DC IMHO is Vril Dox, leader of L.E.G.I.O.N and he's a complete bastard.

Lex Luthor intellect in JLU´s last episode became was unrivaled. He had level 12 intellect before gaining all that knowledge.
Give him more prep time.

yes him as well. although I always felt Vril Dox (L.E.G.I.O.N) was smarter because he was more ruthless. but since they are family they are I guess the same...
Big fish in a tiny pond, same with Doc Manhattan.

Richards is a relative fool.

I always liked Luthor´s schemes.
If you want a couch moved or something delevered fast call DC, Marvel excels in the esoteric powers.

Aren't there all-knowing all-seeing god like cosmic characters that would take home the cake?

He's smart, but he was also cocky as fuck.

Yes, and they are defined in both Marvel (The One Above All) and DC (The Presence). They're God Himself, so they have no rivals at all.
Excluding beings like that, though, I'm going to go with Mxyzptlk. He can comprehend things that no other characters can.
Can he comprehend that he's not human and therefore irrelevant to this thread?
On topic, gotta give it to Reed.
Valeria does claim this herself, but she is pretty unreliable at her current age. Adult Valeria is smarter than her father according to Mister Franklin.
Two alternate Reeds did combine to form the new Kree Supreme Intelligence, so I guess so.
You know it is a good thing Franklin and Val get along. Can you imagine the sibling rivalry?

I'm talking about DC. and whatever Reed has done is not as bad as selling your child's soul to get his law enforcement organization.
I can easily imagine paying $3.99 a month for that What-If story. The smartest human on Earth versus an unimaginably powerful universal constant (sounds familiar) who also happens to be her mutant sibling? So many awesome directions that story could take.

Ah reading fail on my part.
Are the super powered characters really human anymore? Is Modok just too ugly to be considered?

Kang did it first
Franklin: "Why did you tear the head off my Galactus?"
Val: "Because you erased my only pocket dimension that exists outside the multiverse!"
*laugh track*
There's a pretty egregious example from The Dark Knight Returns, Batman beats Superman because of some decades of planning. I'm not a Batsman expert though.
Dude, that's probably one of the more fair ones, IIRC. He throws a ton of stuff at him
with Superman also being blocked from the sun, sapping his power
Batman only really gets a second of superiority to claim he "won"

Well Beast built a time machine so he's certainly improved in his standing over the years.
I'm really bad about Marvel brain charts though. Amadeus Cho was like #7 back when he was palling around with Herc right?

Doom.
Going to give him an edge over Reed because he's more attuned with the supernatural.

Lets just talk about the man who created a Time Machine that somehow doesn't create paradoxes or alternate timelines.

Daredevil. He managed to take down an entire potential movie franchise single handed.
