Has Iron Man eclipsed Reed Richards as smart guy? Does Reed still have the upper hand?

Reed’s Brain was affected by cosmic energy

Reed isn’t a cuck

No. Tony barely makes top 5 smartest in the Marvel universe because he's a specialist not some polymath.

This. Tony Start is a bitch compared to Reed Richards.

That is Obadiah at the right

Didn't Reed become fucking SCIENCE god of the universe with his family for a little while?

Cap canonically has a higher iq than both of them, but Marvel tends to ignore this except for bios.

>Asgardian technology.
I wish Marvel remembered this was a thing more often. Thor used to be smarter than Reed. Nowadays they don't even remember Thor has a medical degree.

No. He became the GOD god of the universe. Science didn't have much to do with it. Unless he became all powerful some other time I didn't hear about, which is entirely possible.

If anyone would become SCIENCE god of the universe, it would be Pym prior to him being turbo killed. He was the Scientist Supreme, the sufficiently advanced science counterpart to the Sorcerer Supreme.

Do I need to be the asshole that points out only one of those gauntlets should be glowing?

Nah, he's replaced Pym though.

Why aren't they fighting space kaiju in a trio of dinosaur shaped combining mecha with DD?

No, he's not even fucking close.

Are you nuts?

Maybe to people who only know Marvel through the movies.

In the comics Reed is well beyond Tony. Tony can make really big guns. Reed can make anything.

Tony builds weapons. Very well. And he can learn new, alien tech on the fly.

Reed builds it all. Even weapons. The other members of the council of Reeds were impressed by the firepower 616 Reed brought to assist when they were being attacked by the mad celestials. Hand held canons that could kill a celestial and did.

Btw, Reeds throughout thw multiverse tend to be so smart they sometimes rule their own universe.

Tony is an engineer. he finds a problem, he builds something to solve it. Reed is essentially "Dr Stranger but stretchier" on his worst day

Well they're in a pocket space outside of the regular universe (the Council of Reeds), so none of them should be glowing at all, if we get pedantic.

Just recently in War of the Realms, Tony built Odin the Iron Allfather armor.

Stark has designed the helicarrier for SHIELD ever since the 60s, as stated in the first issue Steranko was allowed to write on his own

If Reed is so smart then why couldn't he cure his baldness?

The very notion of who is smartest is worthless and I wish they wouldn't push it. I never was a fan of omni-disciplinery master of all sciences bs. I much prefer specialization. Tony as the engineer, Reed as the extreme physicist, and so on. When you claim someone is the absolute smartest you just put them on a pedestal, one another writer will inevitably knock them off of with some other character. It's a pissing contest that achieves nothing but getting the floors all messy.

He clearly transferred the hair on his head to his chin and transformed them into secondary cortical fibers, achieving ultimate beardtelligence.

Did the Avengers ever get forced by Peter to apologize for this? He really deserved some catharsis for their monumental fuckup.

They gave him a deli coupon. It was expired.

Cute.

This book had no right to be as good as it was. Every time I see people harping on Rosenberg for Uncanny X-Men, I'm reminded that this happened.

There was that time in Hickman's avengers where Reed said he was the smartest when working on a singular problem but was terrified that Tony was able to build multiple planet destroying weapons at the same time while on the avengers/ new avengers

>BAH!
>As if the Eternal AmeriMUTTS could EVER have a HOPE of being the SMARTEST!

They gave him a coupon for a new uncle. It was expired.

>have May get married to Jameson’s dad
>have him die
>Peter’s Uncle dies again

But Reed's true love is science

to be fair, reed is smart enough to figure a way to make the stones work outside their respective universes

He can do anything except avoid bringing shit from other universes into his own

You forgot reed richards

It appears that every "genius" character is eclipsing Reed these days. Reed is the Galactus of geniuses. If you want your OC to look exceptionally smart, just have them make Reed look stupid. Moon Girl and Valeria did a good job of that recently, with Reed smiling and nodding supportively like a good little cis white male. Fuck Marvel.

>recently
Valeria was always smarter than Reed. Spoken like a true casual.

I know that, retard. I was specifically talking about this girldick waving contest here . What's missing is Reed coming into the next panel to look like a doofus.

I tried not to include anyone whose intelligence got boosted by super science

Maker
High Evolutionary
Leader
MODOK
Mister Sinister
Maximus
Forge
Doctor Nemesis
Sugar Man
Prodigy
Iso

A better question might be, which Reed is smarter? 616 or The Maker?

No, because Reed is still allowed to actually be smart once in a while.

Stark's only purpose in comics is to say how smart he is and then have everything blow up in his face so the characters that the writers actually like can roll their eyes at him and fix the problem themselves.

616
First:
Having a full life automatically makes him the smarter one.
Also:
616 Reed has always been about the pursuit of knowledge, while The Maker now just uses his resources to feed his ambitions and desire for control. He seeks out information mainly to meet those ends.

Honestly, Doom seems like a perfect Iron Man nemesis
But I'd read a storyline where Tony has to try to outsmart both Reed and Doom trying to take him down independently.

Doom is too good to be one hero’s specific nemesis which is why he a universal nemesis

That sounds super smart. Let's not cooperate with the other smart guy to take down the evil threat so i can say im smarter.

That sounds more like something Doom would do, like Reed has always said, this kind of pettiness is what holds him back.

Reed would suggest a truce, but Doom would of course refuse.

>Dude, I'm le smartest, you're only the 4th in the list of smartness!
>Nu-uh! I'm le smarest! The list of smartness has been updated!
Imagine reading this garbage. Marvelfags have no standards.

Yeah, and Doom becomes omnipotent every year (yet somehow he just doesn't alter his brain so that he's the smartest). Truly the apex of fiction.
