    Default Smartest female character in comics.

    From Reed Richards to Batman to Dr. Doom, there's no shortage of male supergeniuses in comics. There seems to be less focus on super-smart female characters. So who's the most brilliant lady Marvel, DC, or other?

    Moon Girl and Riri Williams come to mind. They've both received very large pushes based around their intellect.

    On the DC side, Lena Luthor (although Catwoman is bright enough to stay a step ahead of The World's Greatest Detective)

    How about Lois Lane? She even eventually figured out Clark Kent is Superman, something no one else seems to have been able to do.

    Is there any way to gauge intelligence in crazyland? Besides the Banner Box?

    Dr. Pamela Islet (Poison Ivy) is supposed to be a brilliant biochemist who develops drugs no one else is capable of inventing.

    Isn't Barbara Gorden/Oracle pretty smart?
    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    Is it possible that Marvel is afraid of adult female geniuses?

    I can only think of villains who are older than 15 or so.

    There's Veronica Cale over at DC she's sort of Lex Luthor-ish character for Wonder Woman.

    There was Alyssa Moy, a classmate at college. She and her husband Ted Castle were behind the Nu Earth project. I think she's currently considered dead ....until someone revives her.

    There's Mockingbird although not a super genius IIRC but still a genius.

    Dream Girl was actually a brilliant scientist. She used her "sex kitten" act to make people underestimate her.
