Why aren't there more fans of Amadeus Cho? He's the comedic every-kid. Someone lots of people can relate to, even if he is a hyper mind and involved with our dear friends the Greek Freaks. Seriously, I don't think this kid gets enough panel time, considering what a rare and wonderful character he is. He's not particularly good-looking and he's kind of a wise guy, but a voice of reason that a few characters respect (or at least learn that he's right. The Hulk, anyone?)
Anyone out there with me?

I love Amadeus he's awesome. I also like how he's called the 7th smartest person in the world. It amuses me that they're rating everybody on a smartness scale. I wonder how far it goes?

I am a fan, but he can almost be written a bit as a Gary Sue. Also I am a huge fan of humor in comics, and he brings that, but I am an even bigger fan of intelligence and intelligent comics, and sometimes I prefer reading those things in a more serious context, not... to say I prefer serious personalities with comic characters, often inherently they are funny, but a lot of the time, intelligence as its applied in comics tends to be... writers probably have fun with it, I hope they know that intelligence isn't something that can truly be defined in such a linear fashion, nor does being in the upper echelon of intelligence equate to being effective in the same way comic characters are. In that respect I can find Cho (or really more his writers - but even they just follow which is an industry standard beyond intelligence as well, into everything) annoying.

Loved him in iHerc. Would prefer if they put more emphasis on how Cho ranks intelligence as a personality quirk of his. Plus his rankings are usually wrong. lol

I think he's quite a cool character and a great supporting cast member.

@SC: Kinda funny that you comment on this when you do, I was just thinking about putting him in the FF. . . lol

I see what you mean, it's hard to define JUST how smart someone is, and a big problem is that in a lot of ways that Cho is kind of dumb. I think they mean it in terms of IQ scores though, more than actual intelligence.

Him in almost anything is a welcome edition to any book, he was great in iHerc, i agree.

Well it depends, in some ways its easy to define, just how you apply that in relation to other people is hard, and what that means even more specifically, but many writers just consider what characters have done smart sounding things and consider the ones that do the smartest sounding things must therefore be the smartest. When thats probably like the most flawed thinking one can have lol

The same principle applies to IQ scores, and its basic logic that Cho would realize even if he did have a high IQ, its only within the database of where and how he was measured. His writers could also underrate Alyssa Moy in this instance as well. Anyway characters intelligence can come of weird given writers writing if intelligence. Depending on the time of book (serious vs lighthearted) usually I prefer to read my smart characters under Ellis, Hickman, Morrison, or Carey. They tend to know the intricacies involved with intelligence and how to apply it in comics.

I'm sure you would write him great by the way! ^_^ You have a healthy respect and appreciation for characters and that shows though in your work.

Oh, and for fun and because its helpful in some ways various sites have free science documentaries you can find though google. A lot of the smartest, or considered smartest people today and though history, had really peculiar habits or were also considered really dumb because of their social habits, Quite a few of the greatest mathematicians... had horrible and tragic ends... Consider savantism as well, as well as people who receive damage to the brain that lets them unlock previous unseen artistic abilities and even switch accents lol

My favorite historical scientist use to be really scared of people. 0_o and his contributions could only be applied after his death when people could actually see what he was up to... sad but sort of funny too. I like to think that the smartest humans on Marvel Earth are characters we might not know, because they lack the ability to be known, or can only apply their intelligence in limited fields, like mind controlling ants to make origami, because lets face it, the usual suspects for intelligence are a bit quirky but they still function pretty normally. I mean even compared to other super smart people in history and i though comics was meant to be an exaggeration of life? Oh, and please remember Valeria is über smart.. lol my competitive side emerges...

@SC: Aw, thanks!!!!

I've actually watched a lot of those. I spent the first years of my life being a science nerd and I love the science channel. And I've seen a lot of specials on savantism. It's kind of sad that these people have such beautiful, brilliant minds, but such strange habits or fears.

LOL, I'll remember that.

I was all like, 'wait, I posted this 4 months ago. Why now?'

Really, it's all your fault though. It's like when you post on something, everyone else wants to too. LOL
