I am definitely intrigued. I love that Doom has Mad Thinker and MM on hand. I expect that Molecule Man will playa pretty significant part, based on his rambling a about his dreams and all that.
Yeah, I feel like it's the Thinker who is doing all the calculations and investigation and so on, and Molecule Man is just assisting with it, and that he may then be used to confront the threat.
Well, it's canon that someone made a ranking, but it's not canon that the rankings on the list are accurate. I agree with you, it's a silly idea, and it seems to me more a byproduct of the battle board type mentality of fans than anything else really.
True. However, in this type of medium I could see why Marvel at least would want to have a system in place for branding and fictional universe constructing. If anything the list just shows how the powers at be want those characters to be written as and where they stand among each other. But I'm not sure it's something that should be shared with fans. *shrug*
It's silly in a real world sort of way, but I think that's just how comic book fans tend to think. And comic book writers for the most part are just comic book fans getting paid to do it. So it's not entirely surprising that some are doing the same sort of ranking in actual books that people on internet boards do all the time (and likely do in their head).
And it's not like any of this stuff is set in stone anyways. The Cho thing with him being advertised as the 6th smartest guy in the world was even explained in the stories as a sort of PR thing... though I think it was said so often, it eventually became a real thing.
I completely understand why Tony gets hate. He's done some bad things, but going to a world and trying to save lives as Thanos and his crew destroy it. Isn't one. I don't get that. Also didn't read anything about a Thanosbuster armor. Tony went at them with his new armor. Other than that I really enjoyed the issue and can't wait to see the conversation Tony and Steve had that Jessica and Natasha were talking about.

"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
I do find it funny that Stark is getting hate for the same things that got Cap praise. Rogers really is the Teflon-Man.
