[QUOTE=XPac;893179]I'd at least put Doom ahead of him. But I think most would agree he's in the top 10.
I think T'Challa told Spider-Man at one point that he was 8th smartest... though I don't think in-universe there are actual rankings for this sort of thing.[/QUOTE]
DC has rankings for their 3 smartest though..... i think one of the dc writers/editors confirmed the top 3 were
1. Lex Luthor
2. Bruce Wayne
3. Michael Holt (terrific)

Pretty much plus no history of Tuskegee Experiments in Wakanda.

Basically.
But hey, I do understand how it's easier for some to make false equivalance based arguments to support their held positions.

He said that to spiderman in a joking tone. no one would just rate themselves like that. And T'challa considers himself on Reed's level.

[QUOTE=Dboi654;892550]Just reading the new avengers issue again after finishing uni and working out at the gym ans all I have to say is DAMN, Thanos and the cabal really leveled out Wakanda with no remorse. Even kids were dealt with.

I want a revenge story, regardless. I want T'Challa in his spaceship going after the Cabal.

If memory serves, Fantastic Four #605.1 actually sees the Fantastic Four cure cancer in a patient. So it isn't like T'Challa is the only hero holding out.

The whole cancer thing *might* have worked better if there was a reason tied to Wakandas security or something potentially extremely dangerous about the procedure that made its wide spread use untenable. But odds are no matter what the logic is people would have complained. It's essentially just a misfire that really only has traction with people looking to tear down a character.

ok pym thinks he is on reed's level, stark thinks he is on reed's level..so what
T'challa is brilliant but he is NOT on Reed's level...or Doom's

According who? IIRC, Reed himself considers Him his intellectual peer.

Sure. Like I said said, I don't think there are any official rankings, beyond the general consensus that Doom and Reed are the smartest. I think most will ALMOST universally agree to that. As far as third place goes, if you ask ten different people you'll get ten different answers. Stark, Pym, Banner, etc etc.

You can argue blowing them counts as revenge... though honestly I think they survived.

Odds are pretty good people would have complained no matter what... because its cancer. How many people don't know SOMEONE who has had it? As a general rule of thunb, you probably don't wanna go there UNLESS it's a villain. Then it's okay because it's a villain. You're not supposed to agree with what a villain does.
