These list are always dumb anyways.
It is all about who builds the biggest fancy machines.
Dr. Strange Brilliant in Medical and Magic never considered
Kitty Pryde brilliant in computers never
Mockingbird is almost never talked about in science
I guess Nadia might crack a newer top ten but who knows.
Professor X Genetics and anthropology but never considered.
It is all about tech and engineering not intellect.
I guess parker, Lang, the newish Giant man, Blue Marvel, are all the B team. Maybe they should be a real team.
That has always annoyed me, why is it that only people who are good at building tech are considered when world's smartest people discussions come up? There should be more to intelligence than "Can build time machine." After all there's more to who's "the most powerful character" than who can lift the most. Hulk might be as physically strong as people like Thor, Silver Surfer and Superman but since he doesn't have the flight and energy projection they do he's not considered as powerful overall as they are.

Yes I agree it is a nice discussion point
I've pointed out I think reed is the smartest scientist, because of his multiple disciplines, I think luna is likely the best problem solver, panther the best tactician, and so forth, there are many aspects of intelligence that the list does not cover I suspect, but as the idea of being able to work things out on minimal data, it's imo pretty good
I would definitely put strange as perhaps the most learned individual and much underrated in intelligence
Nadia would be on this now imo, kitty should be, as should adam brashir
but where I could not say
does anyone feel that T'challa is to low
can people really argue that Pym and Stark are more intelligent than him?
Pym has invented some pretty impressive stuff. He just isn't as popular.
Prior to Slotts Mighty Avengers I might not have put Hank too high on the top 10. But his feats in that book were Dr. Who level. Stark housed the Avengers in a mansion, but Pym supplied an Infinity Mansion. Stark supplied Quinjets, but Pym supplied magical teleporting doors. I think that one run did a lot to justify Pym's standing.
As far as T'Challa goes.... I think the thing which sort of gurantees him getting a somewhat lower spot in the top 10 is T'Challa labeling himself the 8 smartest person in the world in Liss BP run. That put him somewhat low on the list as it was. Moon Girl debuting as THE smartest pushed everyone down one step further.
But it's imporant to remember that anyone in the top 10 list is super high. Whether you're ranked number 2 or number 8, that's still pretty high when you consider there's like 7 billion people on the planet.
