A.I.M., Tony Stark and Reed Richards

VaultMan · 10-23-2009, 01:47 PM

When it comes to creative/inventive genius, I think I might put AIM and Tony Stark (and perhaps even Victor von Doom) ahead of Reed Richards.

Look at the accomplishments:
AIM
Super-Adaptoid
Cosmic Cube (a device for altering reality)
MODOK

Tony Stark
Can't even make a list: just too much to name. I mean look at what he did with his extremis tech...

Doctor Doom
First functioning time machine, active forcefields, genius robotics designer (life-like constructs), armorer, and able to steal the power cosmic to use for his own purposes (which he did more than once).

Aside from unstable molecules (which is a big deal), redefined both space travel and microscopic travel, and discovering the Negative Zone what long-lasting scientific inventions/contributions to Marvel's universe has Reed been responsible for?

Somehow, I still think Reed is the most intelligent character in Marvel, but as far as creative genius goes, he may come in fourth behind these guys. What do you think?

If I was to make a team of the smartest characters non cosmic(sorry Thanos) Doom would be my first pick.

Earth's Scientist Supreme was recently revealed in the Avenger's and it wasn't Reed.

As for Scientist Supreme Reed is smarter than him both have said this and in one issue Reed became an expert same as this SS and made the SS look dumb.

Are you kidding?

Well, he discovered the Pym particle, created Ultron 1-whatever, worked on the Vision from the inside... Tough argument....

Now in Hulk #601 I think that was the issue Bruce Banner says he one of the eight smartest people on the planet.
In the same issue Amadeus Cho tells Bruce who's in a room with the following guys that five of the smartest people are telling him Hulk is gone.
1.Reed Richards
2.Hank Pym
3.Hank McCoy
4.T'Challa
5.Amadeus Cho
6?
7?
8 Bruce Banner
No way is Beast smarter than Dr.Doom,Mr.Sinister,Mad Thinker and many others.
This is why these lists suck they change between writers.
IMO the two smartest are Dr.Doom and Reed Richards maybe in that order or maybe not.
