The Smartest in the Marvel Universe?

[LexCorp]

I don't see Peter Parker on that list anywhere?

IQ only measures your potential anyway not how you choose to use your smarts.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Reed Richards.

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Ok, sooo....how does that make it ok not to have Peter Parker anywhere on these lists? Before any of this discussion I would still consider him a genius.

After reading various posts I think even more highly of him now.

Why can someone not test beyond 200 again?

It becomes harder to write questions to test someone at that level of intelligence. A lot of standard IQ test books that you buy at B&N can't even test past 145.

Since there are fewer people at that level the statistical processes that determine what your score is become less and less accurate as the scores go up. There simply aren't enough people to make a statistically accurate comparison. There have been estimates of I.Q. scored over 200.

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Hmmm both interesting answers.

So how long do you think until full A.I. is beyond human capacity?

10 years? 20 years? 50 years?

The Living Tribunal is infinitely more intelligent and powerful than Galactus.

doesnt the living tribunal answer to the one above all? aka god?

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Ummmm......not new news thanks though.

 

[ssj wolverine]

Reed is above all. With Doom a close second.

Yes...he does...but given that The One Above All is very inactive, The Tribunal is sort of the big cheese.

It seems like a lot of people don't realize how much more powerful The Tribunal is than Galactus.

Aunt May would have more of a chance of beating Galactus than Galactus would have of toppling the Tribunal.

???? Really? There are only very few that I have had discussions with that don't realise just how powerful the LT is.

Well Super-fanboys do...but Galactus is obviously a much more famous character, so there are people who think that Galactus is the most powerful...sad.

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Hmmmm...well they are dumb.

 

[VICTORVONDOOMX]

NOT Father- Son- Holy Ghost!

Father- Son - Holy Galactus, Batman!

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Ok, it's definitely the crack.

Personally, I think A.I. is fantasy. I don't think it'll never happen.

We you do know that there are already many actual A.I. robots out there. They are just not on the level of movies such as The Terminator, A.I., The Matrix, I Robot, Blade Runner etc.

And THAT is what THEY want you to think. (I'm actually a pilot AI communications program.)

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

For some reason I don't doubt that about you Doom.

 

[VICTORVONDOOMX]

It's true. My algorhythms include misspellings and nonsense talk late at night (simulated drunkenness).

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Ahh, I was trying to figure out the last part, now it all makes sense.

Reed has said in a thought bubble that Pete is just as smart as he was at that age. someone in another thread said that Reed probably just is saying that as a teacher says it to a favorite pupil, but i had forgotten to mention that it was in a thought bubble in the other thread. so it was definatly a genuine remark

 

[Ockham]

Taking into account only humans and beings evolved from humans I'd say the overall smartest ppl are:

1) High Evolutionary
2) Thanos
3) Reed Richards/Victor von Doom/Nathaniel Richards

Reed, his dad, and Vic seem quite equal so they share the 3rd place. Adam Warlock is a strategic/tactical/metaphysical genious but I don't think he can grasp science as well as the ppl mentioned above.

Modok, Mad Thinker, Amadeus Cho, The Leader and so on have incredible calculating and processing abilities, they are like living computers, but I wouldn't put their creative abilities above Reed et al.
