kaelan moyes Agree. I even think Victor Von Doom is smarter then Luthor, most because, he study and use magic and mythology, in hes favor. Luthor dosent.
Bruce wayne and tony stark are simply genius. Tony has the skills of making a gem out of no where. Bruce wayne have the skill to build anything and he's simply genius he's detective, strategist, scientist as well.❤
nic defendis This is a list for "superhero geniuses", not the very, very smart heroes. That is to say, characters that are known for being "the brains" of a team or situation. Three of the four Ghostbusters have doctorates, but Egon Spangler is "the brains" of the team. Luke Cage, Fury, Wolverine have a lot of knowledge, but they are not "the brains" of their adventures. It's more like those men have specialized or abundant knowledge of subjects, like Magneto, Matt Murdock, Jen Walters, Zatana, John Constantine, Allan Quatermain, Blade, Gambit, or Steve Rodgers. As Liam Neeson might say, "They have a particular set of skills." :-D
TheDalinkwent Yeah... she's only a 'genius' in the films. Reed has admitted that Valeria is more intelligent than he is, so shouldn't she be in there? Amadeus Cho?
Scott Koch Thats another one. Frankly he deserves a spot more than Peter and especially Storm. Not saying either one of them are dummies, but Terrific and Panther are way smarter than both of them.
Yeah he can read almost everyone's mind and know what they know in the blink of an eye. Spider-Man is smart but can't learn a lifetime of knowledge in the matter of seconds
I agree. I remember a "What if?" comic from Marvel in the 80s that had the "Venom" suit go from Peter to the Hulk. It drained everything from Peter, he was 90 years old (physically),. Reed Richards commented that he was a genius, but being "Spider-man" was a full-time job. Hell, he created his webbing as a 16 year old. Which I am glad they have reintroduced in the movies The Tobey Maguire version had webbing come out from his body, but I prefer the original version, which they do now.
People always undermine how ingenious peter's webs actually are. After all, they can hold literal tons and fit in a a tiny canister. At 15. That doesnt sound like a big accomplishment, but they are one of the things that make spiderman incredibly annoying to fight.
Check your facts dude, Captain America is the best strategist in DC and Marvel comics. Even Batman has said it himself that Captain America is the best person to trust when going into battle and that HE (yes, Batman) would take orders from Captain America. Since when does Batman take orders? When Cap gives them.
Susan Storm? REALLY? Genius? REALLY? Sure she was rebranded to be more than just a gal with a crush on a brainy friend, but she is no "genius." Was she placed on this list just so there could be a female? If so, then you should have gone with Oracle/Barbra Gordon instead of making her an honorable mention. Typing of honorable mentions, where was HIRO from Big Hero 6? He created nanobots and the uniforms of his teammates inside the garage of his home. That is the equivalent of Tony Stark building a miniature arch reactor in a cave... with scraps!
Lance Snead I'd agree, but in the Ultimate Universe she's smarter than Reed (who is still really smart in that Universe). But she's certainly smarter than my boy Peter Parker and Xavier
Lance SneadIs Susan Storm really that smart now? Haven't really read the Fantastic Four in the Ultimate Universe, but I remember her being as smart as a brick originally.
here's some you forgot The Atom (Ray Palmer) not arrowverse... Mister Terrific Jonathan Osterman (watchmen) ( Doctor Manhattan) John Irons (Steel) The Question pretty much marvel was all your list when the atom doc manhattan and the question should have made a few spots there or at least honorable mention
Eduardo Urbina Ever read Marvel zombies? You should look into marvel a bit deeper, there is a lot of stuff that dc fans would enjoy. Stuff that isn't so "kid friendly" and simple.
In my opinion, Ozemandius didn't deserve to be on that list. Sure, he's the smartest organic being in the dc universe (probably) but doc manhattan is much smarter. Plus who wasn't killed by Rorschach's death?
Sooooooooooooo let me get this straight No Black Panther not even an honarable mention buuuuuuut Sue Storm is on this list. Yeaaaah some ones smoking that 2017 crack!
donald lewis Iron Man acknowledged that Peter was smarter than him and would have been more successful had he not started crime fighting at such an early age, distracting from his studies (I think this was said during the ark when he was the red/gold spider or after his death in ultimate spider-man). But remember that as a teenager, he could invent the webshooters, a serum for the lizard for curt conners, and made a solution that gave him six arms, among others.
Tfw they don't include Tim Drake on the list, even though Bruce admitted Tim was a better detective than him :/// Also, at only nine years old, he figured out Dick Grayson was Robin and that Bruce Wayne was Batman. Nine years old, people. Just saying.
Mikala Skaribus Tim was NOT considered a genius until very recently and the New 52 version rarely use it unless they need it for Deus Ex Machina plot resolution. He freaking better not be on any list. Before New 52, while extremely intelligent he was NOT a genius so much as a person with a lot of potential (more than some genius of DC), if he hadn't been trained by Batman he'd be around average with some good inductive and deductive reasoning. The only exception is the issues written by Nicieza. Hell his figuring Batman's identity was due to having PTSD and clear other mental issues due to his unhealthy obsession with B&R after seeing Dick's parents die. It shows his issues rather than his intelligence. If you want a genius from that generation : Bart freaking Allen
well it was common sense tbh bc grayson could do a triple flip which is rare so seeing that anyone would put it together if they wanted to figure out who they were also bane knew it was bruce wayne just bc he remember his jaw line and was like dude...your bruce wayne and bruce was like whatttttt nooooo and he’s like yeah dude your jaw line you should really cover it up even Jim Gordon knows who he is off there first encounter he just never lets on bc then if batman ever gets reveled he can say he never knew it was bruce wayne
T'Challa has tech that made Reed Richards jaw drop. I mean damn when he was introduced he gave a airship to Richards that made his own fantasticar a joke and it was just bait to get the FF to Wakanda so he could test himself against them. He's ruler of a country so hardcore badass they were NEVER conquered even tho damn near everyone has tried. To the point the US military said they make the Vietnamese look like the French. Not even to mention he's one of the richest guys alive and designed the quinjet.... nuff said
+jacob valenzuella im not 100% sure if this is accurate or not but i read that t'challa is worth 90 trillion dollars... i think its pretty safe to say hes the richest
I like most of these characters but my favorite is Beast. He is so smart but I also love what a gentle soul he is, also love when he recites poetry. Oh I'm going by X Men TAS cause I never read the comics but I loved his character on there and in general.
Blackshadow I think you should actually read a comic where Reed Richards and T'Challa have either worked with each other or have been in conflict against one another. If you had actually read those comics you would know how patently ridiculous that statement is.
+gerard bain nope isn't.you one that need to read more comics.give me scan. Reed Richard is way smarter than black panther in every way. Even spider man is smarter than black panther. Characters like reed Richard,Hank pym,Bruce banner,tony stark is way smarter than black panther.
+Blackshadow The first encounter with Reed Richards and The Black Panther ended up in The Fantastic Four being captured. Richards respects T'Challa so much that he made T'Challa the head of the FF when both himself and Sue had to leave. The Black Panther is the first member of The Illuminati who discovered that the Marvel mulitiverse was coming to and end: He discovered this before all possible versions of Reed Richards did. As I said earlier, you should actually read some comics before you form an opinion.
gerard bain 1:reason why reed is captured because he don't know black panther city is high tech city.just go read story again before comment. 2:he isn't first one discovered multiverse and reed wasn't even care do discovered. 3:tell me can black panther build machine that can predict future? tell me can black panther build suit that strong as iron man? tell me can black panther build ultron like hank pym did? tell me can black panther created suit that can make you size of an ant? 3:read more reed richard,tony stark,hank pym, bruce banner before fucking comment. even peter parker is smarter than him.
John Doe the thing to me is retarded bc he messed with doctor dooms machine just bc he was jealous of there bond so it’s safe to say he ruined the the trip they all got there powers from just bc he was jealous of sue and reed love
So Peter Parker is number 9 despite Reed Richards himself stating that he was smarter than him? Literally Peter is able to outsmart the top of the marvel superheroes on an intellectual level. Also how is Tim Drake not on this list? He's an absolute genius who rivals Batman, same with Ted Kord and Ray Palmer, both genius inventors who put a number of people on this list to shame.
But you forgot something,! Spider-man never reached his full Potential and never put in the hours of study like reed richards. Therefore he cant have more intelligence than richards. Also Reed Richards is not the smartest in the marvel universe, Bruce Banner is. Plus how can spider-man be smarter when Beast had spider-man on the roof top schooling him about childbirth!?? Trust that comic is out there. Spider-man may have the potential but never has he put in the work like these guys. Spider-man does not make the list, Sorry bro.
You do realise that there are people who are naturally gifted, right? Peter is one of these guys, plus he has put in the effort, proof being his web-shooters that he made on a shoestring budget, that's Tony Stark levels of ingenuity at 15 with a fraction of the funding. Plus Reed Richards doesn't say that Spider-Man has the potential to be smarter than him, he says that he is. He is tactically brilliant too and is a quick study, remember when he broke his arm in a fight with Vulture and within 24 hours had built a device to counteract the new frequency of Vulture's improved wings? Reed may have more resources, but Peter is much smarter.
InReserveProductions Nice try but no! Understand me when i say this... Parker is no doubt a smart guy but he does not constantly stay in the lab like reed does. He seems to only go inside a lab when he needs to create a device for whatever purpose. That does show an high intellect on the part of parker. Reed stays in the lab all the time just learning stuff non-stop bro. He just goes on and on and on and on. If spider-man did the same thing, I'm sure he would easily surpass reed. gifted is only gonna go so far but constantly gaining new knowledge is gonna continue to push you to the next level then the next then the next. This is why reed will never be surpassed by spider-man. spider-man does not put in the work like reed. Reed's wife sue, is also a scienist so when they are out of the lab, he still talking about High-level stuff with his wife. It is on going for reed! Peter goes home to a super-model that he has to explain stuff to. Come on you can't be serious!!
You're forgetting that Peter works in a lab and owns his own tech company. He has found solutions to problems that have stumped Reed, Tony Stark and Hank Pym. He is good friends with Hank McCoy and Bruce Banner and frequently spars with them intellectually, he hangs about Reed a great deal being close friends with Johnny Storm, during visits he has made multiple suggestions to Reed on improving his work, which he heeds. The guy even chats with Doctor Strange regularly gaining knowledge in the mystic arts too. Reed is more closed off and as a result stays routed in the same subject areas, Peter expands, adapts and employs his knowledge constantly.
InReserveProductions Yes but he does not put in as much work and this is where richards wins. All the hours he has put in makes him stack knowledge on top of knowledge. You are also forgetting that richards is older so again he has years of gaining knowledge on subjects peter has yet to study. Dude age advantage, years of study done before peter can even get started and he puts in more time!! smh, dude think about this some more and do some more research. Banner is the only good guy in marvel who is smarter than reed. If peter puts in more work he would be to. Spiderman does not make the top 10 ten. maybe top twenty!
0:26 - Cyborg, Robot and Cosmic Being 1). Professor X 2). Spider Man 3). Beast 4). Invisible Woman 5). The Hulk 6). Ant-Man *7). Batman* 8). Iron Man 9). Ozymandias i). Doctor Strange ii). Donatello iii). The Flash iv). Oracle 10). Mr. Fantastic
Not sure how Batman is above Superman, since he built the Fortress of Solitude, a bunch of robots to take care of it and stand in for him when necessary, a ship to travel through areas in space he is not able to go to because of Kryptonite, red sun, or other things that disrupt his powers. Extremely subjective list since most characters have stories and lore that can point to their intelligence being higher the most others.
@@bicksins9574 batman is a Jack of all trades he's good at math,science, psychology,criminology,but he is not the best or the worst someone like lex is better than him at math,science and psychology and someone like iron man is better at engineering than batman the only thing batman is the best at is being a detective
Before you waste your time reading comments 40% this list is horrible 30% why is blackpanther not on this list 20%( they just posted more characters for list) 5% this is just marvel based 5% other
I've not read comics in recent years, but unless there is some epic retcon or reboot that I'm not aware of, Susan Storm Richards does not belong anywhere near this list. She has traditionally never displayed any more smarts than Ben or Johnny.
If you read some of the comics, Reed has gotten the Infinity Gauntlet and many more objects that can affect the universe. He has even solved Famine. His kids are even smarter than him (his daughter is 8 yrs old and his son...idk).
Look...I like spider man but he is simply no challenge for batman.Just to give you an example,Spider man has super reflexes thanks to his mutation,but batman still has quicker reflexes than him.He was able to dodge darkseids omega beams which was a feat that was thought to be impossible.
***** killing Millions to save billions ? sounds like the same argument as hydra's . saving billions by killing millions of innocents doesn't make him less villainous .
***** they think they are saving humanity by killing people who are not disciplined . in their point of view they are keeping the world in order . the villain doesn't see himself as a villain
Mr_Egypt Believe me, I understand. I'm a vet and I don't believe that the ends justify the means but that was kinda what the Watchmen was built around. Think about it: Rorschach, the U.S. Government, and The Comedian were all built around the question of if the end actually justified the means.
the world is always in danger . Saving one innocent life equals saving all humanity , and taking one innocent life equals killing all humanity . danger is always there . and in Watchmen the danger became reality even after killing Rorschach because of the diaries . the danger of war could be avoided by changing the minds of the leaders not by mass murder
They seriously retconned Sue Storm as a genius. When she first started out she was a husband-worshipping, "former actress", who displayed all of the 1950s wifely cliches that would make you cringe today. However, they occasionally made her fearless, and she even faced down Dr. Doom in his own castle when her husband was taken over by a malevolent psionic being known as the Overlord, who was in the process of taking over the planet. Sue actually guilted Doom into coming out of the safety of his castle to help them fight a hopeless battle against this near-cosmic being. This was in the days of actual plots and characterizations by Marvel. The actor who played Ozymandius was an absolute disappointment, who came across as egotistical, whiny and abrasive rather than smooth, unemotional, ruthless and calculating as portrayed in the comicbook. He seriously undermined the movie by himself. It was just a case of serious miscasting. Basically, Ozymandius was based on Dr. Doom, but without the disfigurement and armor.
Great list thank you for giving Reed Richards his due. On a Marvel ranking of ability , powers, Reed Richards is rated below all those you mentioned who are Marvel, even though Reed is constantly said to be the smartest man on Earth by all of the other geniuses. Hank Pym however is listed as the smartest man on Earth on that power stat according to Marvel, also T'challa, Sasquash (forgive the spelling) and even Dane Whitman are all said to be smarter. In DC Ted Cord, Wesley Dodd, Hourman, and of course Ray Palmer and Mr. Terrific II ( who is said by the Justice League and other DC characters to be the smartest man alive) . Still i am with you.
10. spiderman , 9. professor x , 8. beast 7. amadeus cho 6. iron man , 5. black panther , 4. batman , 3. bruce banner /hulk , 2. ant man , 1. reed richards
You totally missed out Franklin and Valaria Richards (Reed & Susan Richards children). Franklin is an Omega level mutant with the intelligence to match and his sister has an untapped knowledge level.
Bruce Wayne is actually smarter than tony Stark, tony is adept in technology and engineering whereas Bruce has knowledge in biology, chemistry, physics and technology and engineering
Ervin Ojukwu Tony is an expert in all those things except probaly biology tho he did work on the Extremis serum and has innovated a LOT more than Batman.
Okay I absolutely love Batman, but what about the Question? his detective skills stomps Batmans, there was even an episode, on the JLA TV series, where he uncovered a conspiracy of Lex Luther HE SHOULD BE ON THIS LIST! but I do agree that Batman is also on this list.
Bc Batman is more than just a detective, that's why. From the comics, He's an expert Genius in science & engineering.....master tactician, and more. His detective skills have taken down Gods and including the whole JLA.
Sometimes the most dangerous type of hero a villain should face is definitely the most smartest type of hero around. And with this kind of list, who WOULDN'T fear these types of awesome hero geniouses here, huh?
how on earth is Peter Parker 9th!? Hank pym (second smartest man in the marvel universe(second to Mr fantastic)) said that himself is marginally smarter than Peter, although if Peter stayed in school, he had the pottential to become more intelligent than everyone. also, Bruce Wayne isn't as smart as hank pym or Bruce banner!!
if you say that Bruce Wayne is not that smart then you do not know shit about the character kiddo. You probably only know about the Batman movies. Stark is the most overrated smart guy on this list when the best thing he ever did was create that suit which Batman could have done and would have done if he didnt knew 127 different Martial Arts and didnt had degree in every major subject. You should probably research Batman first to know who smart he really is.
Its not all Marvel characters and I too was wondering where Doctor Manhattan was? He is definitely one of thee smartest characters in comics period! And that's even before the accident!! WatchMojo slipped up on this one for sure!!
Batman = He uses his mind to make a protocol that is able to defeat everyone in the JL including himself... He created brother eye which eventually took over the world.. Went hand to hand combat with Darkseid just to save his son... Saved the city from the court of owls in an armour designed by himself... Made an armour specially to put every member of the JL in the hospital (Batman End-Game #1-#2) ... yeash there is lots more where that came from oh i forgot he also killed darkseid using a radion bullet in Infinite Crisis which lead him to save the entire universe
because the writer wrote him with a lot of deus ex machina. using real world logic, superman or anyone could use any random thing to kill him. superman heat vision chop him in half from mile away. you can't think fast, but can you think faster than a man that bullet bounce off and fly faster than a bullet?
Kenny Mondesir well, where to start. He's a grown man that sneak out at night with make up, a mask, and a full blown costume to stalk people (fight crime). He's got mad obsession with bats. Couldn't get over his dead parent. Bonus: His best pick up line is "hey, wanna know my secret identity".
But in George Prez's version of Vic origin it shows he was almost as smart as his dad. He being a jock was his way of rebelling against his father constantly forcing him to study. And remember, with his father dead, he has to know how to maintain his cyber parts.
***** Iron man created a nuclear bomb without fallout, suits capable of interstellar flight, multiple Artifical intelligences. a wide array of weapons for every branch of law enforcement and the military, he was the Director of SHIELD taking out multiple terrorist cells. He even helped Maya Hansen develop the Extremis serum
I feel like the way they were judging " smart" was more on the science and math side. For example batman has always been of the complex problem solving, master plan type of genius like he'll know the best way to figure you out and get you with your own plan and in that way I think he would beat Stark every single time. But like I said they were kind of only judging "genius" to be the heroes with science majors which I'm not say anything against because even though yes, Batman is into the sciences and mathematics it was never shown to the same extent that Tony's expertise in those fields were. Like tony built a the IRONMAN SUIT whereas with Bruce they showed him mixing a few vials of colored liquid or saying a really complex math equation every now and then but also, Marvel has always showcased their superheroes and character's brainy science side A LOT more than DC ever has. Like with Marvel practically every character has a degree in some type of science with DC not so much. Still, I get where you're coming from.
terie rivas I agree Batman's prowess has always been his tactics and making impressive plans tho ironically it was those plans that led to the Tower of Babel story were ra's al ghul used them to neutralize the Justice league. Tony's engineering prowess was also used against him in the Skrull invasion when they relapced Jarvis with a Skrull and got the access codes to all Stark tech crippling earths defenses, they both have their weaknesses .
that probably is not through observation though sense the belief was confirmed enough in his head to literally KILL all the superheros thinking he was riding them from the inedible hardships they lived for. You'd think a rational person would check their math before doing something that drastic. Plus he knows where the camera is which can't really be "figured out" as far as we know.
Kitty (Shadowcat). It was mentioned in her introduction in Chris Claremont 's run on the X-Men. (She said that's why she like doing gymnastics class, it was the one place that put her equal with her classmates) Sue Storm was a surprise. I never knew. (It didn't seem to show up in her Jack Kirby's early appearances.)
+Aaryan Bhatia Batman is really good at detective work, designing his own gadgets and suits, and is really smart when it comes to fighting and knowing what to do when fighting. But that's about it. Don't get me wrong, he is definitely smart, but just so in only some fields and not others. When training and learning to become Batman, he only went to the most prestigious schools and only chose the classes he needed to become Batman. Once he was done with one school, moved to the next to master something else. That's why he was 4th place, because he may be smart, but knowing how to travel space, time and to other dimensions like Reed Richards is something he wouldn't need, and honestly, is probably out of his league anyway.
+Marshall Ahmat true, but I think it also have to do with how people define geniuses. It often has to do with diplomas. After all if it's true Bruce concentrated on only a few fields at school, outside of it he also try to learned about pretty much every kind of fields out there (considering how much undercover work he does it's no surpprising, he also seems to understand complicated concepts even if he never really studied the field), there are also characters like Tim Drake who have trouble with school yet are some of the most intelligent people of their world. I'm surprised Lex Luthor wasn't at least part of the honorable mentions.
Chandler Bing Because he actually knows a lot of science while Batman is more of a detective, while Stark and Reed are Scientist first. Stop fanboying and think.
Chandler Bing tbh not that much I've read a lot of Batman and he doesn't strike me as a scientist. For Example, I know a lot of Biology does that make me a Biologist?
Batman is extremely intelligent and clever. He has an extremely vast knowledge of many sciences. However, he is not technically scientist. Even with all the gadgets he built, make him more of an engineer. Also, batman's intelligence is mostly noted in his skills in deduction and strategies. He is known as "the worlds greatest detective" not "the worlds smartest scientist". I'm a batman fanboy too and I think he should have been higher than iron man on this list but batman is not a scientist.
There should be a crossover movie of where all the known Marvel superhero geniuses come together to form a science team. *) Spider-Man *) Beast *) Iron Man *) Hulk *) Mr. Fantastic *) Professor X
+SANIC It doesn't matter... Creating AI doesn't mean they're smart. Batman created Brother Eye which leads to the destruction of the world but that ain't mean he's the smartest.
@@zorruption6036 Why are you commenting everywhere about Shuri being smarter? read some comics before typing "OMG SHURI IS SMARTER", in the comics BP is one of the smartest men on the planet.
Fleshcut Ozymandias is not a villain. He did what he did because it was the only way he could think of to save the world. Since he is the smartest man on earth in that universe, there is a good chance that it was the only way to save the world. He was a hero that was willing to do some "bad" things for a greater good.
dawn bugay Actually, Palladium is not from the comic. It is only created for the cinematic universe. ALSO, in the cinematic lore, he created the element, not invent it.
Lot's of people missing... but at least they got Reed right as number one. Reed is the only character in Marvel that is able to continuously become more intelligent. He is able to expand his brain.
Batman created a suit that defeated the justice league, created a portal to another dimension, defeated darkseid, hacked into brainiac's ship (which is almost impossible), and became the GOD of KNOWLEDGE.
I'm sorry but it's just not logical to have Professor X so low. His fucking name starts with PROFESSOR. He graduated Harvard at 16, yet Tony Stark was #3 and only enrolled at MIT at 15. I agree with all the inclusions, but the order, less so.

That would either have to be between Lex Luthor or Doctor Doom.
Out of those 2, I say lex luthor, well because he is the smartest human in the dc universe, for aliens/cyborgs/robots I say brainiac.
doctor octopus would be number 1
Thanos?
Henry Martikainen umm very likely not i mean look at dooms accomplishment's in comparison
kaelan moyes Agree. I even think Victor Von Doom is smarter then Luthor, most because, he study and use magic and mythology, in hes favor. Luthor dosent.
i nearly fainted to see Xavier at lowly 10,
Shobhit Bansal me to
Bruce wayne and tony stark are simply genius. Tony has the skills of making a gem out of no where. Bruce wayne have the skill to build anything and he's simply genius he's detective, strategist, scientist as well.❤
Bruce only became a genius after crisis! He was o where near as smart as they made him!
Nope, Batman is good at detective and Tony is good at Science,Engineering and Technology etc.
How the fuck did Sue Storm make the list, but not Black Panther?
Thats rubbish.
nic defendis btw they did say they dont include aliens and other life and superman falls into that.
nic defendis This is a list for "superhero geniuses", not the very, very smart heroes. That is to say, characters that are known for being "the brains" of a team or situation. Three of the four Ghostbusters have doctorates, but Egon Spangler is "the brains" of the team. Luke Cage, Fury, Wolverine have a lot of knowledge, but they are not "the brains" of their adventures. It's more like those men have specialized or abundant knowledge of subjects, like Magneto, Matt Murdock, Jen Walters, Zatana, John Constantine, Allan Quatermain, Blade, Gambit, or Steve Rodgers. As Liam Neeson might say, "They have a particular set of skills." :-D
TheDalinkwent Yeah... she's only a 'genius' in the films. Reed has admitted that Valeria is more intelligent than he is, so shouldn't she be in there? Amadeus Cho?
Mr Terrific from DC should also be on the list. Not sure if he is in the new 52 though…
Scott Koch Thats another one.
Frankly he deserves a spot more than Peter and especially Storm. Not saying either one of them are dummies, but Terrific and Panther are way smarter than both of them.
Basically the "Marvel Superhero Geniuses" list.
What other "hero" geniuses are there in DC? I'm serious, not trying to be a dick
***** Superman is an alien, so falls out of the criteria for the list here, otherwise you could easily throw in The Beyonder or Galactus
Jikashi Atom is also a genius. Braniac-5, Mr. Terrific. Earth 2 Batman, Flash, Cyborg- after getting his powers.
People will argue that lex is a super villain but He's now a member of the Justice League, so that makes him a super hero.
***** Since when was lex a superhero..?
Uh Black Panther, Amadeus Cho, The Atom, Mr Terrific, Valaeria Richards, Blue Marvel, Ted Kord, Hiro Okumura?
Mr. terrific is smarter than Batman
Amadeus Cho is a hulk wannabe, Valeria Richards-yes ,
Lex luthor ...
jay shah lex is villain
Yes!
I'm confused at how Professor X only took the #10 spot? I'm pretty confident he is 'smarter' than Peter Parker and Sue Storm. No?
ItsCliff nah I agree with Sue but Peter is VERY smart
Yeah he can read almost everyone's mind and know what they know in the blink of an eye. Spider-Man is smart but can't learn a lifetime of knowledge in the matter of seconds
I agree. I remember a "What if?" comic from Marvel in the 80s that had the "Venom" suit go from Peter to the Hulk. It drained everything from Peter, he was 90 years old (physically),. Reed Richards commented that he was a genius, but being "Spider-man" was a full-time job. Hell, he created his webbing as a 16 year old. Which I am glad they have reintroduced in the movies The Tobey Maguire version had webbing come out from his body, but I prefer the original version, which they do now.
Professor X doesn't automatically absorb everything from some mind he comes into contact with, but I agree that he should be ranked higher.
I don't know how Susan storm made that list it must be a retcon thing
People always undermine how ingenious peter's webs actually are. After all, they can hold literal tons and fit in a a tiny canister. At 15.
That doesnt sound like a big accomplishment, but they are one of the things that make spiderman incredibly annoying to fight.
how can sue be ahead of professor X and beast
Achintya Pranshu exactly.
Achintya Pranshu That's a good question!? Point is, she's not! It's bad narration, people seem to think they know their characters but they don't.
Yeah wtf she’s a female!
@Lockjaw .... no one who has read a single issue of the XMan should make such a ridiculous claim.

This has nothing to do with sex. You sexist idiot.
Bat is, maybe not the best in science, but he has the best mind when it comes to fighting and strategies or plans, etc. And where is T'challa
plus he can speak a shit tone of languages
Doctor strange only a honourable mention.
Check your facts dude, Captain America is the best strategist in DC and Marvel comics. Even Batman has said it himself that Captain America is the best person to trust when going into battle and that HE (yes, Batman) would take orders from Captain America. Since when does Batman take orders? When Cap gives them.
Khoi Le Batman is actually pretty good in science
ComedyGold But batman is better at planning than cap is
Susan Storm? REALLY? Genius? REALLY? Sure she was rebranded to be more than just a gal with a crush on a brainy friend, but she is no "genius." Was she placed on this list just so there could be a female? If so, then you should have gone with Oracle/Barbra Gordon instead of making her an honorable mention. Typing of honorable mentions, where was HIRO from Big Hero 6? He created nanobots and the uniforms of his teammates inside the garage of his home. That is the equivalent of Tony Stark building a miniature arch reactor in a cave... with scraps!
Lance Snead pick up a fantastic four comic, she is totally deserving to be on this list.
Lance Snead You obviously don't read Fantastic Four
Lance Snead I'd agree, but in the Ultimate Universe she's smarter than Reed (who is still really smart in that Universe). But she's certainly smarter than my boy Peter Parker and Xavier
Lance SneadIs Susan Storm really that smart now? Haven't really read the Fantastic Four in the Ultimate Universe, but I remember her being as smart as a brick originally.
She has degrees in mathematics, biology, rocket science, etc. She's not as smart as Reed, but she's plenty smart
By using his intellect, Spider-Man invented a spider-tracer to track across the city using his spider-sense one time.
Where's Black Panther!!!???
he´s more intelligent than half of the geniuses in this list
Exactly and he understands not only science but a bit of the magical and mystical world like doc strange.
***** But they showed Ant man, and he doesn't have a movie out yet.
***** You do realize people vote on these lists, right? WatchMojo doesn't decide who's on the list, the people are....
Shadow Quote WatchMojo makes the final decisions. They didn't even Mention Black Panther as an honorable mention and that is a glaring oversight.
Ikr
here's some you forgot
The Atom (Ray Palmer) not arrowverse...
Mister Terrific
Jonathan Osterman (watchmen) ( Doctor Manhattan)
John Irons (Steel)
The Question
pretty much marvel was all your list when the atom doc manhattan and the question should have made a few spots there or at least honorable mention
Eduardo Urbina If it bothers you so much why didn't you go vote on it?
Eduardo Urbina Ever read Marvel zombies? You should look into marvel a bit deeper, there is a lot of stuff that dc fans would enjoy. Stuff that isn't so "kid friendly" and simple.
Wouldn't doctor Manhattan fall under the cosmic beings list?
TheInspire96 well he's still human, and he was a genius before becoming a super hero so I don't know.. I don't think so.. what do you think?
In my opinion, Ozemandius didn't deserve to be on that list. Sure, he's the smartest organic being in the dc universe (probably) but doc manhattan is much smarter. Plus who wasn't killed by Rorschach's death?
Sooooooooooooo let me get this straight No Black Panther not even an honarable mention buuuuuuut Sue Storm is on this list.
Yeaaaah some ones smoking that 2017 crack!
And not even shuri who built all this tech for his armor. They don't know anything
@Naija guy but again.... I know T'Challa is smarter than shuri but again she is very very intelligent. So she could be on that list
Peter Parker was just smart not a genius
He's nowhere near a Tony Stark or Reed Richards
donald lewis yeah, but hes still a genius
What has he done or even invented that shows he's a genius
donald lewis
Web shooters for a start
donald lewis Iron Man acknowledged that Peter was smarter than him and would have been more successful had he not started crime fighting at such an early age, distracting from his studies (I think this was said during the ark when he was the red/gold spider or after his death in ultimate spider-man). But remember that as a teenager, he could invent the webshooters, a serum for the lizard for curt conners, and made a solution that gave him six arms, among others.
Tfw they don't include Tim Drake on the list, even though Bruce admitted Tim was a better detective than him :/// Also, at only nine years old, he figured out Dick Grayson was Robin and that Bruce Wayne was Batman. Nine years old, people. Just saying.
Mikala Skaribus Tim was NOT considered a genius until very recently and the New 52 version rarely use it unless they need it for Deus Ex Machina plot resolution.
He freaking better not be on any list.
Before New 52, while extremely intelligent he was NOT a genius so much as a person with a lot of potential (more than some genius of DC), if he hadn't been trained by Batman he'd be around average with some good inductive and deductive reasoning.
The only exception is the issues written by Nicieza.
Hell his figuring Batman's identity was due to having PTSD and clear other mental issues due to his unhealthy obsession with B&R after seeing Dick's parents die. It shows his issues rather than his intelligence.
If you want a genius from that generation : Bart freaking Allen
well it was common sense tbh bc grayson could do a triple flip which is rare so seeing that anyone would put it together if they wanted to figure out who they were also bane knew it was bruce wayne just bc he remember his jaw line and was like dude...your bruce wayne and bruce was like whatttttt nooooo and he’s like yeah dude your jaw line you should really cover it up even Jim Gordon knows who he is off there first encounter he just never lets on bc then if batman ever gets reveled he can say he never knew it was bruce wayne
True if he was only 9 think of what he could do if he was an adult
Tony stark once said Banner could give him a run for his money!
Batman is criminally overrated. He is the Itachi of comicverse.

But Reed Richards is the smartest hero in the Marvel universe.
Skankhunt42 their not super heros.
Reed once said Spider-Man was smarter or as smart as him I can’t remember but he’s super super smart
(Human) Reed Richards should be the smartest in Marvel, and the smartest in DC is I believe either Lex or Ivo
Lex is a super villain
Lex is probably the smartest in the DC universe however, he's not a superhero so he doesn't qualify.
I like to think of Lex Luthor as the smartest man alive and the second richest.
Micah McElhaney I think Dr Doom may be smarter than Richards, not sure about it though
***** we are talking humans. Braniac 5 I believe is organic, but he isn't human.
so r they telling us spider Man is smarter than professor x

T'Challa has tech that made Reed Richards jaw drop. I mean damn when he was introduced he gave a airship to Richards that made his own fantasticar a joke and it was just bait to get the FF to Wakanda so he could test himself against them. He's ruler of a country so hardcore badass they were NEVER conquered even tho damn near everyone has tried. To the point the US military said they make the Vietnamese look like the French. Not even to mention he's one of the richest guys alive and designed the quinjet.... nuff said
+jacob valenzuella im not 100% sure if this is accurate or not but i read that t'challa is worth 90 trillion dollars... i think its pretty safe to say hes the richest
I like most of these characters but my favorite is Beast. He is so smart but I also love what a gentle soul he is, also love when he recites poetry. Oh I'm going by X Men TAS cause I never read the comics but I loved his character on there and in general.
The Black Panther is arguably just as intelligent as Reed Richards. How did he not make this list?
He not.
Reed way smarter than black panted
Blackshadow I think you should actually read a comic where Reed Richards and T'Challa have either worked with each other or have been in conflict against one another. If you had actually read those comics you would know how patently ridiculous that statement is.
+gerard bain nope isn't.you one that need to read more comics.give me scan.
Reed Richard is way smarter than black panther in every way.
Even spider man is smarter than black panther.
Characters like reed Richard,Hank pym,Bruce banner,tony stark is way smarter than black panther.
+Blackshadow The first encounter with Reed Richards and The Black Panther ended up in The Fantastic Four being captured. Richards respects T'Challa so much that he made T'Challa the head of the FF when both himself and Sue had to leave. The Black Panther is the first member of The Illuminati who discovered that the Marvel mulitiverse was coming to and end: He discovered this before all possible versions of Reed Richards did. As I said earlier, you should actually read some comics before you form an opinion.
gerard bain
1:reason why reed is captured because he don't know black panther city is high tech city.just go read story again before comment.
2:he isn't first one discovered multiverse and reed wasn't even care do discovered.
3:tell me can black panther build machine that can predict future? tell me can black panther build suit that strong as iron man? tell me can black panther build ultron like hank pym did? tell me can black panther created suit that can make you size of an ant?
3:read more reed richard,tony stark,hank pym, bruce banner before fucking comment.
even peter parker is smarter than him.
Why does no one ever mention Mr. Terrific who is the third smartest man in DC?
He is highly underrated imo
He's underrated, just as Brainiac 5 ( LSH),is
Facts
I don't really see how Spider-Man beat professor x but awesome top 10
Greg C I guess you could think of it as not the 10 smartest superheroes, but the top 10 superheroes who are really smart
Greg C but even then I still disagree with most of this list
I like the idea of this list a lot but cuz opinions people are gonna disagree a lot
No it's a horrible top 10 like usual because they no nothing about comics
***** no, but we as fans of comics have come to the conclusion that this list is inadequate
Spider-Man is definitely in top 5 their is no way he is in #9
How is sue storm smarter than Spider-Man?
John Doe the thing to me is retarded bc he messed with doctor dooms machine just bc he was jealous of there bond so it’s safe to say he ruined the the trip they all got there powers from just bc he was jealous of sue and reed love

Hey, finally a WatchMojo superhero list with a correct #1 and overall pretty decent rankings. Well done!
tenrecc except black panther
So Peter Parker is number 9 despite Reed Richards himself stating that he was smarter than him? Literally Peter is able to outsmart the top of the marvel superheroes on an intellectual level. Also how is Tim Drake not on this list? He's an absolute genius who rivals Batman, same with Ted Kord and Ray Palmer, both genius inventors who put a number of people on this list to shame.
But you forgot something,! Spider-man never reached his full Potential and never put in the hours of study like reed richards. Therefore he cant have more intelligence than richards. Also Reed Richards is not the smartest in the marvel universe, Bruce Banner is. Plus how can spider-man be smarter when Beast had spider-man on the roof top schooling him about childbirth!?? Trust that comic is out there. Spider-man may have the potential but never has he put in the work like these guys. Spider-man does not make the list, Sorry bro.
You do realise that there are people who are naturally gifted, right? Peter is one of these guys, plus he has put in the effort, proof being his web-shooters that he made on a shoestring budget, that's Tony Stark levels of ingenuity at 15 with a fraction of the funding. Plus Reed Richards doesn't say that Spider-Man has the potential to be smarter than him, he says that he is. He is tactically brilliant too and is a quick study, remember when he broke his arm in a fight with Vulture and within 24 hours had built a device to counteract the new frequency of Vulture's improved wings? Reed may have more resources, but Peter is much smarter.
InReserveProductions Nice try but no! Understand me when i say this... Parker is no doubt a smart guy but he does not constantly stay in the lab like reed does. He seems to only go inside a lab when he needs to create a device for whatever purpose. That does show an high intellect on the part of parker. Reed stays in the lab all the time just learning stuff non-stop bro. He just goes on and on and on and on. If spider-man did the same thing, I'm sure he would easily surpass reed. gifted is only gonna go so far but constantly gaining new knowledge is gonna continue to push you to the next level then the next then the next. This is why reed will never be surpassed by spider-man. spider-man does not put in the work like reed. Reed's wife sue, is also a scienist so when they are out of the lab, he still talking about High-level stuff with his wife. It is on going for reed! Peter goes home to a super-model that he has to explain stuff to. Come on you can't be serious!!
You're forgetting that Peter works in a lab and owns his own tech company. He has found solutions to problems that have stumped Reed, Tony Stark and Hank Pym. He is good friends with Hank McCoy and Bruce Banner and frequently spars with them intellectually, he hangs about Reed a great deal being close friends with Johnny Storm, during visits he has made multiple suggestions to Reed on improving his work, which he heeds. The guy even chats with Doctor Strange regularly gaining knowledge in the mystic arts too. Reed is more closed off and as a result stays routed in the same subject areas, Peter expands, adapts and employs his knowledge constantly.
InReserveProductions Yes but he does not put in as much work and this is where richards wins. All the hours he has put in makes him stack knowledge on top of knowledge. You are also forgetting that richards is older so again he has years of gaining knowledge on subjects peter has yet to study. Dude age advantage, years of study done before peter can even get started and he puts in more time!! smh, dude think about this some more and do some more research. Banner is the only good guy in marvel who is smarter than reed. If peter puts in more work he would be to. Spiderman does not make the top 10 ten. maybe top twenty!

Not sure how Batman is above Superman, since he built the Fortress of Solitude, a bunch of robots to take care of it and stand in for him when necessary, a ship to travel through areas in space he is not able to go to because of Kryptonite, red sun, or other things that disrupt his powers. Extremely subjective list since most characters have stories and lore that can point to their intelligence being higher the most others.

I was worried there for a little bit that they were going to say Sue was smarter than Reed Richard
I've not read comics in recent years, but unless there is some epic retcon or reboot that I'm not aware of, Susan Storm Richards does not belong anywhere near this list. She has traditionally never displayed any more smarts than Ben or Johnny.

where is black phanter!!
EXACTLY
I know right

Look...I like spider man but he is simply no challenge for batman.Just to give you an example,Spider man has super reflexes thanks to his mutation,but batman still has quicker reflexes than him.He was able to dodge darkseids omega beams which was a feat that was thought to be impossible.
Isn't the Watchmen one a villain though?
mk6rfc1 Technically... He was a superhero first. After killing millions, he still did it to save billions so... double negative??
***** killing Millions to save billions ? sounds like the same argument as hydra's . saving billions by killing millions of innocents doesn't make him less villainous .
***** they think they are saving humanity by killing people who are not disciplined . in their point of view they are keeping the world in order . the villain doesn't see himself as a villain
Mr_Egypt Believe me, I understand. I'm a vet and I don't believe that the ends justify the means but that was kinda what the Watchmen was built around. Think about it: Rorschach, the U.S. Government, and The Comedian were all built around the question of if the end actually justified the means.
the world is always in danger . Saving one innocent life equals saving all humanity , and taking one innocent life equals killing all humanity . danger is always there . and in Watchmen the danger became reality even after killing Rorschach because of the diaries . the danger of war could be avoided by changing the minds of the leaders not by mass murder
They seriously retconned Sue Storm as a genius. When she first started out she was a husband-worshipping, "former actress", who displayed all of the 1950s wifely cliches that would make you cringe today. However, they occasionally made her fearless, and she even faced down Dr. Doom in his own castle when her husband was taken over by a malevolent psionic being known as the Overlord, who was in the process of taking over the planet. Sue actually guilted Doom into coming out of the safety of his castle to help them fight a hopeless battle against this near-cosmic being. This was in the days of actual plots and characterizations by Marvel.
The actor who played Ozymandius was an absolute disappointment, who came across as egotistical, whiny and abrasive rather than smooth, unemotional, ruthless and calculating as portrayed in the comicbook. He seriously undermined the movie by himself. It was just a case of serious miscasting. Basically, Ozymandius was based on Dr. Doom, but without the disfigurement and armor.
Great list thank you for giving Reed Richards his due. On a Marvel ranking of ability , powers, Reed Richards is rated below all those you mentioned who are Marvel, even though Reed is constantly said to be the smartest man on Earth by all of the other geniuses. Hank Pym however is listed as the smartest man on Earth on that power stat according to Marvel, also T'challa, Sasquash (forgive the spelling) and even Dane Whitman are all said to be smarter. In DC Ted Cord, Wesley Dodd, Hourman, and of course Ray Palmer and Mr. Terrific II ( who is said by the Justice League and other DC characters to be the smartest man alive) . Still i am with you.

You totally missed out Franklin and Valaria Richards (Reed & Susan Richards children). Franklin is an Omega level mutant with the intelligence to match and his sister has an untapped knowledge level.
Bruce Wayne is actually smarter than tony Stark, tony is adept in technology and engineering whereas Bruce has knowledge in biology, chemistry, physics and technology and engineering
They are both smart in different ways
Ervin Ojukwu Tony is an expert in all those things except probaly biology tho he did work on the Extremis serum and has innovated a LOT more than Batman.
And Tony created his own element
Iron man is obviously smarter you dumb fanboy
Okay I absolutely love Batman, but what about the Question? his detective skills stomps Batmans, there was even an episode, on the JLA TV series, where he uncovered a conspiracy of Lex Luther HE SHOULD BE ON THIS LIST! but I do agree that Batman is also on this list.
Bc Batman is more than just a detective, that's why. From the comics, He's an expert Genius in science & engineering.....master tactician, and more. His detective skills have taken down Gods and including the whole JLA.
Sometimes the most dangerous type of hero a villain should face is definitely the most smartest type of hero around. And with this kind of list, who WOULDN'T fear these types of awesome hero geniouses here, huh?
Spider-Man is definitely a genius!
how on earth is Peter Parker 9th!? Hank pym (second smartest man in the marvel universe(second to Mr fantastic)) said that himself is marginally smarter than Peter, although if Peter stayed in school, he had the pottential to become more intelligent than everyone. also, Bruce Wayne isn't as smart as hank pym or Bruce banner!!

+Alvin Capalad why would he want to? that enormous green rage monster is beastly!!
if you say that Bruce Wayne is not that smart then you do not know shit about the character kiddo. You probably only know about the Batman movies. Stark is the most overrated smart guy on this list when the best thing he ever did was create that suit which Batman could have done and would have done if he didnt knew 127 different Martial Arts and didnt had degree in every major subject. You should probably research Batman first to know who smart he really is.

Wookie he's filthy rich and nuts. he's a genius but not the best of the best, calm your bat panties.
Batman = He uses his mind to make a protocol that is able to defeat everyone in the JL including himself... He created brother eye which eventually took over the world.. Went hand to hand combat with Darkseid just to save his son... Saved the city from the court of owls in an armour designed by himself... Made an armour specially to put every member of the JL in the hospital (Batman End-Game #1-#2) ... yeash there is lots more where that came from oh i forgot he also killed darkseid using a radion bullet in Infinite Crisis which lead him to save the entire universe
because the writer wrote him with a lot of deus ex machina.
using real world logic, superman or anyone could use any random thing to kill him.

Good one!!
But in George Prez's version of Vic origin it shows he was almost as smart as his dad. He being a jock was his way of rebelling against his father constantly forcing him to study. And remember, with his father dead, he has to know how to maintain his cyber parts.
ok where is Black Panther?!
he is not even mentioned amongst your honourable mentions!
what is happening here?!
It's probably been said, but I believe having unbelievable, super-genius level intelligence IS a superpower.
How is iron man smarter than batman
Iron man even created a new element
***** Iron man created a nuclear bomb without fallout, suits capable of interstellar flight, multiple Artifical intelligences. a wide array of weapons for every branch of law enforcement and the military, he was the Director of SHIELD taking out multiple terrorist cells. He even helped Maya Hansen develop the Extremis serum
I feel like the way they were judging " smart" was more on the science and math side. For example batman has always been of the complex problem solving, master plan type of genius like he'll know the best way to figure you out and get you with your own plan and in that way I think he would beat Stark every single time. But like I said they were kind of only judging "genius" to be the heroes with science majors which I'm not say anything against because even though yes, Batman is into the sciences and mathematics it was never shown to the same extent that Tony's expertise in those fields were. Like tony built a the IRONMAN SUIT whereas with Bruce they showed him mixing a few vials of colored liquid or saying a really complex math equation every now and then but also, Marvel has always showcased their superheroes and character's brainy science side A LOT more than DC ever has. Like with Marvel practically every character has a degree in some type of science with DC not so much. Still, I get where you're coming from.
terie rivas I agree Batman's prowess has always been his tactics and making impressive plans tho ironically it was those plans that led to the Tower of Babel story were ra's al ghul used them to neutralize the Justice league.
Tony's engineering prowess was also used against him in the Skrull invasion when they relapced Jarvis with a Skrull and got the access codes to all Stark tech crippling earths defenses, they both have their weaknesses .
***** because he is. Batman is shit
yah missed deadpool so smart(ehem crazy) he knows hes in a comic book
that probably is not through observation though sense the belief was confirmed enough in his head to literally KILL all the superheros thinking he was riding them from the inedible hardships they lived for. You'd think a rational person would check their math before doing something that drastic. Plus he knows where the camera is which can't really be "figured out" as far as we know.
Aaron Jordan Lopez right

Kitty (Shadowcat). It was mentioned in her introduction in Chris Claremont 's run on the X-Men. (She said that's why she like doing gymnastics class, it was the one place that put her equal with her classmates)
Sue Storm was a surprise. I never knew. (It didn't seem to show up in her Jack Kirby's early appearances.)
No Black Panther, Mr. Terrific, Steel or Doc Savage?
Doc Savage was originally a pulp magazine character
Wow sue strom is smarter than professor x. Plus he was #10...smh
Ok, you did the heroes, now its the villains' turn to prove how much brain they have
I like the list but the order is messed up
+Aaryan Bhatia Batman is really good at detective work, designing his own gadgets and suits, and is really smart when it comes to fighting and knowing what to do when fighting. But that's about it. Don't get me wrong, he is definitely smart, but just so in only some fields and not others. When training and learning to become Batman, he only went to the most prestigious schools and only chose the classes he needed to become Batman. Once he was done with one school, moved to the next to master something else. That's why he was 4th place, because he may be smart, but knowing how to travel space, time and to other dimensions like Reed Richards is something he wouldn't need, and honestly, is probably out of his league anyway.
+Marshall Ahmat true, but I think it also have to do with how people define geniuses. It often has to do with diplomas. After all if it's true Bruce concentrated on only a few fields at school, outside of it he also try to learned about pretty much every kind of fields out there (considering how much undercover work he does it's no surpprising, he also seems to understand complicated concepts even if he never really studied the field), there are also characters like Tim Drake who have trouble with school yet are some of the most intelligent people of their world.
I'm surprised Lex Luthor wasn't at least part of the honorable mentions.
+Célia Collet *with diplomas and a science afinity.
#4 are u fucking with me, how the hell did stark get in front.
Chandler Bing Because he actually knows a lot of science while Batman is more of a detective, while Stark and Reed are Scientist first. Stop fanboying and think.
Ur saying batman is not a scientist
Chandler Bing tbh not that much I've read a lot of Batman and he doesn't strike me as a scientist. For Example, I know a lot of Biology does that make me a Biologist?
being a scientist is not just mixing Chemicals and being a scientist doesn't make you more intelligent.
Batman is extremely intelligent and clever. He has an extremely vast knowledge of many sciences. However, he is not technically scientist. Even with all the gadgets he built, make him more of an engineer. Also, batman's intelligence is mostly noted in his skills in deduction and strategies. He is known as "the worlds greatest detective" not "the worlds smartest scientist". I'm a batman fanboy too and I think he should have been higher than iron man on this list but batman is not a scientist.
There should be a crossover movie of where all the known Marvel superhero geniuses come together to form a science team.
*) Spider-Man
*) Beast
*) Iron Man
*) Hulk
*) Mr. Fantastic
*) Professor X
Hank Pym has proven himself to be smarter than Tony stark and reed richards.
When? The only man in the marvel universe who proved that (to a certain extent) was Black Panther
Harrison Moon stan lee said Pym is the 3rd smartest in the marvel universe.
Harrison Moon He also holds the title of Scientist Supreme
Supreme Leader he created the most advanced Ai in the marvel universe.
He's still the 3rd smartest though
+SANIC It doesn't matter... Creating AI doesn't mean they're smart. Batman created Brother Eye which leads to the destruction of the world but that ain't mean he's the smartest.
Why is Black Panther not on here?!
IT'S HERE SISTER SHURI THE SMART ONE NOT BLACK PANTHER
Rodel Rimando FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS
@@rodelrimando3601 Comics not movies
@@zorruption6036 Why are you commenting everywhere about Shuri being smarter? read some comics before typing "OMG SHURI IS SMARTER", in the comics BP is one of the smartest men on the planet.
There haven't been very many countdowns where I agree with the top pick. This is most definitely one of them.
How is Black Panther not on this list?
King Jaffe Joffer his not that smart in the mcu
Actually, Black Panther is #8 in the entire MCU.
He's just simply been overlooked.
He is overrated.
SPOILER WARNING
Why is Ozymandias listed as a 'Superhero' if he actually is THE supervillain of the Watchmen comics? XD
Fleshcut Ozymandias is not a villain. He did what he did because it was the only way he could think of to save the world. Since he is the smartest man on earth in that universe, there is a good chance that it was the only way to save the world. He was a hero that was willing to do some "bad" things for a greater good.
Scar3cr0wSlay3r
True, but in the context of the comic he still is the villain.
Because they have never read a comic before, and just make these lists because they have used every other idea.
Fleshcut he could be considered an anti-hero.
You forgot to mention that Batman has no less than 12 Masters Degrees. 12. I’ll leave you with that.
1. Reed
2. Bats
3.Valeria Richards
4. Tony
5. Ozy
6. Hank
7. Terrific
8. Amadeus Cho
9. Ray Palmer
10. Bruce Banner
(No power-up intelligent included)
If no powered up intelligence included than reed shouldn't be on this list.
nope.. tony stark should be in no.1 he is the only one that envented new element..
dawn bugay You cannot INVENT a new element FFS. I told you many fucking times.
Bruce Wayne comics and mcu said he invented not discover....!! 😏😏😒😒
dawn bugay Actually, Palladium is not from the comic. It is only created for the cinematic universe. ALSO, in the cinematic lore, he created the element, not invent it.
No George Bush?
Unsubscribe.
Lot's of people missing... but at least they got Reed right as number one. Reed is the only character in Marvel that is able to continuously become more intelligent. He is able to expand his brain.
How about Franklin Richards
silverchicken20 Omnipotent, doesn't really count
Cormac Pages I'd imagine you'd have to be pretty frigging smart to create/control universes
Well yeah I'd imagine he'd fall under the cosmic being category (kind of)
Black Panther???
Not mentioned.
Dumb list.
Top ten comic book characters that hang out with alternate dimensional versions of themselves
1=iron man
2=batman
3=rubber man from fantastic 4
4=bruce
5=black panther
6=peter Parker
7=professor x
8=doctor strange
9=Donatello
10=the beats
Rubber man?
I think he means Bruce Banner
Reed Richards is the smartest man in the Marvel Universe
Top 3:
1. Reed Richards
2. Bruce Banner
3. Tony Stark
Batman's not worthy enough of being even in the top 5
Gideon Ugo Lol. Iron Man smarter than Reed Richards? Haha Oh wait, you are being serious? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Bruce banner should be on 2 not on 6 like it if you think I'm right guys
Batman created a suit that defeated the justice league, created a portal to another dimension, defeated darkseid, hacked into brainiac's ship (which is almost impossible), and became the GOD of KNOWLEDGE.
He also created a cloning machine and a time machine by HIMSELF.
@@FriendlyBatDoom yep
I'm sorry but it's just not logical to have Professor X so low. His fucking name starts with PROFESSOR. He graduated Harvard at 16, yet Tony Stark was #3 and only enrolled at MIT at 15. I agree with all the inclusions, but the order, less so.
