" Brainiac 5. Reed could get help from everyone else on earth and Brainy would still come up with something better. I mean if we didn't already have a statistical number proving Brainiac 5 was smarter than the entire earth combined into one intelligence 1000 years in the future, just think about it. Leonardo da Vinci was just about the smartest inventor 500 years ago. Every single educated person on the planet knows more about most of the inventions he was trying to create than he does. Add another 500 years and take the smartest guy in the civilized universe instead of an average joe and its a complete curbstomp. "

This.

If they were at the same age my vote would go to Reed. But given the situation Brainiac 5 was born on an advance age and is himself a genius in his time I'd say that gives him an advantage.

If Reed could make something to help the whole humanity, he should have done something already

Brainiac wins.

An advance age that was made several years ago when the understanding of sci-fi is ripped from pulp and movies, which richards can do on a daily basis.

@irs: @the_titan_lord:

In the council of reeds storyline it has been explained that the main reed is 'useless' because his family holds him back, whereas the other reeds have conquered their universes and killed off their dooms. Miracle machines are dandy and all but reed can casually whip up a cosmic cube as well.

@linsanel_doctor: Reeds really did happen, not pis as they obtained their versions of the infinity gauntlet but/cosmic cubes got murked by mad celestials

marvel needs 'bs' reasons why Reed Richards cannot solve every single problem in marvel u

in the 80's reed is badass, then mainstream marvel nerfed him down several notches

@linsanel_doctor: he had a good action run, now writers are to 'street narrow'

Brainiac 5.

Reed could get help from everyone else on earth and Brainy would still come up with something better.

" Reed is a genious but he is still a human thinks like a human has to sleep eat... Braniac can work 24 hours day and night and he is a super intelligence beyound our comprehension computer. Braniac wins. "

Actually this one can be debated. Once Reed gets going he forgets about unimportant things like eating, drinking, relieving ones self, or pesky family, wife, and friends. XD

But the argument is a valid one. Though I disagree with Zoom about the da Vinci parallel. It's logical and straight to the point, but da Vinci wasn't able to be on par and beyond civilizations that are literally 1000s of years ahead of ours. Also I'd compare current Marvel to current DC.

DC doesn't have an especially science driven society. Sure there are notable works of scientific genius, but there is no over all feel of being more or even as advanced as Marvel society. Especially given that so many of DC's heroes simply can fly to wherever they're needed. You don't really need advanced tech if your natural abilities outstrip it. Likewise all of the more heady tech seems to come from the future. I'm not bashing DC science I'm just saying that it doesn't have as much development and for some of the reasons I mentioned above. Having less, I have to say that Marvel ends up doing more. So I think it's a little bit different than us versus da Vinci. We're the social off spring of da Vinci's efforts, the same can't be said for Braniac 5 and Reed Richards.
