The recent article about Vision's daughter being Black/Latino these days mentioned Moon Girl being the smartest being on Marvel Earth. Is that true and when did this actually get confirmed?

I thought this had already been officialized a long time regardless of the opinion of the readers is true.
Long time? I thought Valeria was smarter than both of them...now MOON GIRL has passed them up? LOL.
Strictly speaking both Valeria, reed and in fact banner are not on earth or in the universe at present
So in that regard it's still flexible
Of course doom has been suggested as smarter than reed (in some ways )too and he is on earth
It's a very vague concept I suppose but fun to mull over
I think Reed is smarter than Doom. It's part of why he wanted him dead.
It's done to spur interest in the character and hopefully drive sales (similar to "Supergirl stronger that Superman" when she came back post-crisis).
Did he master magic? It seemed like his "mother" was a lot better at using it. I'm not even sure that intelligence is required. Wanda Maximoff isn't known as a genius. Pym was able to counter magic with zero training. All unthinkable established is that Reed has difficulty letting go of reason and that Doom had to turn to magic; because science wasn't getting the job done.
That time of the month again, eh?
She's got 'smart' as a super-power.
Asking whether Moon Girl (or the Leader, or other superhumanly intelligent people) are smarter than Reed Richards or von Doom is like asking if super-strong folk like Thor or the Thing are stronger than non-super-strong folk like the Punisher or Hawkeye.
Lunella > Valeria > Reed > Victor is how the Marvel canonical intelligence intelligence scaling goes.
Just because someone has "more intelligence" doesn't mean that someone can't out do someone with more intelligence because of training, experience, or schooling.
I think it was all just a way to stir up interest in the title. I think it's fair to say she has the potential to exceed the adults some day but she's not there yet. Valeria has been shown to be more precocious back in Millar's Fantastic Four and created high tech stuff when she was 2 or 3. It's all a bit ridiculous though IMO for children to be at such an advanced level at that young an age....when most children are getting potty-trained. You can be born with the potential but there is still things to be learned. They can't match the life experiences of Reed whose explored and studied the Negative Zone or Doom's acquired knowledge of sorcery. Plus their acumen in various sciences.

Honestly, I think that would have been the better way to take things having that she has the potential to be the smartest person in the world rather than flat out saying it. It wouldn’t even be the first time that it’s been done as Peter Parker has even been stated by Reed to have potential that rivals his own. Hell it doesn’t even really make all that much sense how a puzzle from Banner (who while one of the smartest, isn’t above Reed) gages someone as being the smartest.
