Without going into too much detail, though it wasn't much to begin with, T'Challa has been rated as the 8th smartest man on the planet. This was confirmed by, you guessed it, Spidey in the newest issue of BP (Pretty good by the way). I could see this being true. But just for pure speculation who would fill out the rest of the list? Hank Pym? The Leader? Reed Richards? I'd like to see what you all think?

@Wise Son:

not in the necessary order though

It wasnt until Reed, Doom, Tony Stark, Hank Mccoy, Hank Pym, and T'Challa were captured (i believe, correct me if im wrong) that Bruce stated he is now the smartest hero left in the world

@Lance Uppercut:
Bruce later states that he was lying or someething and that Ademues is one of them or something like that, he was their secret weapon because he was to new for the villains to know he was a threat

@spiderbat87:
They didnt necessarilly do it in order but thats what it seems like, and yes i think so.

@FadeToBlackBolt:
The Leader cloned himself and now it lives with the FF in the baxter building

@FadeToBlackBolt:
Sorry im wrong it's the clone of the Wizard, Bently 32

The wizard seems like he could be on the list as well

" @Loki9876: I agree. Seems like The Leader, and Modok should both be on the list. "

I consider Banner as the 5th smartest after Richards, Pym, Doom and Stark. Sure, he hasn't done anything scientifically mind-blowing as the others but how he utilized it when training Skaar and taking down Doom, and creating his own "Banner tech" were quite the feats.

Thats how i felt about Banner's character as well, but i thin he has the smarts to be right up there with Pym and Stark.

MODOK is a man turned into a machine. He's no longer human, therefore he doesn't deserve to be on the list. "

How is he not human? during the World War Hulks/Inteligencia saga, he is depowered back to his normal human form? He has since regained part if not all of his mental abilities back

@Static Shock:
Wasn't he recently shown (after the collapse of the intelligencia) to have regained part if not all of it back?

wow, I didn't think that Hank Mccoy was that smart...

But yeah, I don't see why not

Spider-Man should outrank Pym :P

Staying true to the character, wouldn't a Pym book be a "Pym Hating" book?

those of non-human intellects are not eligible for the list

ya know i know that there al smart but they do have specialized fields as well.

Bruce Banner- Nuclear Physics
Beast- Genetics
Hank Pym- Bio-Chemistry
Tony Stark- Robotics/ Engineering

I dont know the rest... correct me if I am wrong
