Marvel's Top 10 smartest heroes!

[Tony Stark]

I can't remember if this was shared her or not , but I wanted to share here and get some opinions as it's from people who work and do research at Marvel. No bashing each other for differing opinions. Let's just talk and debate.

I think it's been discussed many times before.

I read the comments about this video on YT, and the consensus seems to be "show, not tell", and I agree with them. I personally don't like ranking in general, I tend to have my own ranking in tiers (1-Reed, Doom, Valeria 2- Stark, Pym, Banner, T'Challa 3- Beast, Cho, Blue Marvel, Peter Parker. Yes I am aware there's only one female on the list. No it doesn't bother me. Yes I am female.)

For those who don't want to watch the entire video, this is supposedly Marvel's official ranking.

10. T'Challa
9. Amadeus Cho
8. Henry McCoy
7. Riri Williams
6. Hank Pym
5. Valeria Richards
4. Bruce Banner
3. Tony Stark
2. Reed Richards
1. Lunella Lafayette

T'Challa should definitely be higher IMO, as should Valeria. Pym and Banner should switch places (but that may just be because I have read more Pym than Banner stories) Moongirl and Riri... we've been told they're smart, but that's about it. I've seen Nadia Pym do more smart things than Riri and Moon Girl, and yet she's not on the list (I mean, if you want to throw in new characters that have next to no credentials and acheivements). And where is Doom in all this?

Technically, this is canon. I disagree but hey, if Marvel says so...

[Magneto]

Moon Girl higher than Reed ? LOL.

To the bolded part. Sorry I was unaware about this or it was a while ago and I forgot. To the Doom part. This is just for Super Heroes.

[MoneySpider]

Adam the Blue Marvel should have been on this list.

[Phoenixx9]

Where is Xavier and Sentry Robert Reynolds? What about Alyssa Moi? Heather Douglas? M?

[DragonsChi]

Worlds Smartest is a Joke rating to begin with. Their is no real way to measure intellgence in the degree of a 1-10 ranking system.

I think Pym should be a head of Banner as well.

[Jabare]

this list.............how are they ranking everyone? What's the criteria?


Why is Bruce Banner so high. I truly don't rank him above the people he is sitting ahead of.......maybe Cho maybe


Idk if Beast or T'Challa should be that low either

[Jabare]

I believe this thread needs some scans

this feels appropriate

[Anonymousmc]

Adam the Blue Marvel should have been on this list.

He's definitely had notable intellectual feats that can have him on this list.

[Triniking1234]

I knew about Marvel pedalling the Moon Girl as the smartest but Riri is smarter than T'Challa? Several people were drunk.

Wasn't she said to be the smartest in the universe iirc

Richards currently isn't in the universe, Valeria neither based on MT I

So if that's so, this hyperbole concept isn't clear

And to be honest, I don't think it ever is

[Jabare]

Idk why Marvel does official lists like this.

We could do likewise for most powerful.
