Who are the 7 smartest people in Marvel

[CYYYFYYY]

In the New Hulk series they intruduced this kid who is the 7th smartest man in the planet. Who are the other 6

[lleeder]

They can't be any of the heroes cause the Hulk outsmarted and captured them pretty easily during that World War Hulk storyline. Only that one kid was smart enough to realize that Hulk wasn't a killer. Normally I'd say Tony Stark, Reed Richards, Black Bolt, Charles Xavier, Sub Mariner and Doctor Strange.

[DarkHippie]

Mr. Fantastic, Henry Pym, Bruce Banner, Beast, Professor X, Spidey (?)

[CYYYFYYY]

I only think Mr. Fantasic is on that list

[booster11373]

Not sure of the ranking but my guess so far is

1.Reed Richards for sure

2.Tony Stark for sure

3.Doom?

4.?

5.?

6.?

7.?

[johnfromstateni]

1.Reed Richards

2. Tony Stark

3. Hank McCoy

4. Benjamin Richards

5. Charles Xavier

6. Bruce Banner

7. Stephen Strange

[BalzacWB]

1.Reed Richards

2. Tony Stark

3. Hank McCoy

4. Benjamin Richards

5. Charles Xavier

6. Bruce Banner

7. Stephen Strange


Replace 4 with henry pym and I think you got a fucking good list.... oh and doom may belong up there too

[CYYYFYYY]

What about the Leader. Banner is smart but his only field is Gamma so I do not think he is on the list

But who are the 7 Marvel Characters you meet when you get to heaven?

[JustJon]

I wouldn't put Dr. Strange on the list of smartest Marvel characters. He's the Sorcerer Supreme and the foremost authority on the occult, but his knowledge would be specialized to the occult and medicine.

[PhishHead]

If we are talking characters and not just people, wouldn't Eternity, Galactus and Death have to be on the list and the Living Tribunal? Especially Eternity as "he" knows everything.

It's people.

Well, this is a tough one.
I notice most of you don't include women. You are obviously sexist (as all comics fans are.)
Here's my list in order of least smart to smartest.

6. The White Queen- Again, psychic. And British. That's going to up the intelligence factor.

5. Jean Grey- She's been back from the dead, and she can read minds.

4. She Hulk- She's smart, she's a lawyer, she's ... hotter than hell:

4. Mr. Sinister- He's behind every complicated X-Man plot, so he must be pretty smart.

3. Uatu The Watcher- He knows everything, because he's seen it.

2. Egghead- With a name and head like that he better be smart.

1. Aunt May- I guarantee you in a future plotline, Aunt May will be revealed as the mastermind behind all the mechanisms of the Marvel Universe.
Her power cannot be denied!

I don't think he outsmarted them. He just was able to take everything they threw at him and kick their ass.

I'd say Reed Richards, Doctor Doom, Tony Stark, Amadeus Cho, maybe the Leader. I would say Black Bolt, Charles Xavier, Sub Mariner or Doctor Strange though.

I'm gonna fall back on She Hulk for that one.

And once again, I am the only person to list women on this list. I want that to me known for karma's sake.

[CYYYFYYY]

What about Doc Ock. Richards has gone to Ock for help many times.

[badmonkey]

4. She Hulk- She's smart, she's a lawyer, she's ... hotter than hell:

I'm still waiting for the Marvel live action She-Hulk movie. I imagine a storyline where she's down on her luck and meets a guy named Badmonkey who she becomes completely loyal to and obedient to his every desire after he temporarily pulls her up from the gutter and uses her for Running Time: 2hrs 37 mins and a minimum NC-17 rating before casting her aside. :devil2:

wow, they've really hit rock bottom in Marvel

I wouldn't outright say that. But Marvel has been a little downhill these days.

and as for the Galactus/Death/Eternity theory, i won't say that it doesn't work. . . but last i checked they weren't on the planet.

It seems that Doom has been brought up a bunch of times, as have Henry Pym. but no one really has brought up . . .

FORGE.

Maybe the 7 smartest all have their own specialties as well.

Or possibly this can lead to some revivals/reinventions of classic b and c team characters.

Then again, i can be wrong

[Knowledged_one]

What about Hindsight Lad, he was the smartest on situations that had already happened and what could have been done to make them better.

And smartest is so debateable since Cyclops and Captain America are widely thought to be the best tacticians, i would rather have somebody who has a smart grasp on tactics then one who can talk unified field theory

When you're facing beings like Galactus or a time-traveling Doom, I'd rather have the latter.

[eeroomnhoj]

Aunt May all the way!

[chubbyknuckles]

Mr. Fantastic, Henry Pym, Bruce Banner, Beast, Professor X, Spidey (?)

Spidey?! No f'n way

Forge could definitely be up there near the top, but are they discounting him because his abilities are due, in part, to his mutant power? He is definitely smart, but his power allows him to understand the function of machinery and create things for a particular need without really having all of the necessary knowledge to back it up.

I know it has been stated that Forge sometimes creates things almost unconsciously; his mutant ability allows his subconscious to make major logical leaps. He might have to take apart something he made to really understand how it works.

[joethebartender]

Well I guess the smartest would have to be Tom (R.I.P.). Then you have Yolanda, Miguel, Fat Mike, and the Philipino kid seems to be on the ball too.

Sorry... I read the thread wrong.
