    Does that not make him as smart as, if not smarter than Reed Richards? I mean, if Reed was the most brilliant mind in all of Marvel, or one can argue all of comics, then why was Reed Richards not given the title of Scientist Supreme? Hell, Doctor Doom created a freakin' time machine, and even he is not recognized as smarter than Reed, but like I said, since Eternity recognized Hank as the Scientist Supreme, does that not make Hank smarter than Reed?

    No, he was named Scientist Supreme due to why he pursued science. To make the impossible possible where Reed is the explorer and Tony is the engineer. Reed, Banner, Doom and Stark are still smarter than him.

    Nope I don't think so either, I think it just means that he was the most proactive in the field of science, doing the most in that field, like Crimsonspider89 said, Reed's more of an explorer and Stark is the engineer, so therefore I don't think it makes him smarter then them, it just means he was more deserving of the title Supreme Scientist cause of what he had done in that field, where as overall, other scientists are still smarter then him

    this here, word for word, though its debatable whether it really ever happened given
    the events of MA 26.

    What happened in Mighty Avengers 26? I haven't got it yet but if they're already tearing down all the stuff they've managed to accomplish with Pym I'm gonna be pissed.

    Loki says that that wasn't really Eternity. That it was him in disguise. Hank denies it and says that he's trying to put a hole in his confidence.
     
    It's never made clear whether it was Loki or Eternity.

    It better just be Loki lying, kinda like when Pym and Osborn were racing to get to the cosmic cube and he tricked Osborn telling him he already touched it, how else would Osborn be in charge. Everyone has noticed how much more capable and confident Hank has become since taking to Eternity, what reason would Loki have to make Hank capable of taking him down?

    Lol.  Why on earth would Eternity give two shakes about a scientist with more crazy murdering robots to his name than useful inventions?

    Exactly. And his inventions come closest to magic. I think that's why Cho kept pointing out that the ant-man helmet doesn't make sense but it still works. Same with Pym particles, they shouldn't really be possible but they do thus Hank Pym is the Scientist Supreme.

    I disagree on Banner. Stark is debatable but I've always thought that Hank is smarter

    You know I have been thinking on this myself for a while but after thing of what Ultron has been doing lately (I believe he is being praised as a god by an alien race of machines), then you have to remember that he was created by Hank. Add to that, Hank has gone through a hell of a lot, but not because of his experiments (not counting Ultron) and he has continued to work in the name of science. I mean honestly its not many wife beating superheroes that last in the business, yet alone ones who's creations have killed a number of people (I think some of which were heroes, not to sure). I guess we think about Dr. Strange as the most powerful sorcerer with his old title, but with Brother Voodoo having the title now, we have to get out of the mind frame that the title goes to the most powerful, smartest, or strongest people. Just like any title it has to be earned, Reed has had it good for the most part, shit just hit the fan for Tony, Banner has way to many issues, and funny enough Doom was eligiable for Sorcerer Supreme and could be in the running for Scientist Supreme (could be where they taking this Voodoo and Pym vs Doom for their titles, I'll keep my fingers crossed on that one). So please people live Pym alone, he needs something, that man is going on dates with robots that look like his ex wife  for god sake

    No, two. Ultron was one, but I remember reading somewhere that during his wife-beating period Pym created a robot designed to take out the Avengers. It had a secret cut-off switch so that he could turn it off, save the Avengers, and be forgiven for attacking Wasp.

    @supermanwithatan01: we all know the truth now: there are two supreme scientists: Riri Williams (Iron Heart) and Lunella Lafeyette (Moon Girl).

    So by default it was Loki.

    Ahahahahah

    @bullpr: I hate marvel a little more now. History of feats with characters like Doom, Richards, Thanos etc proving time and time and time again to just be smarter than the rest... and instead this... what a shame.

    Damn you Marvel always making earth born character supreme in every department.

    Like there are billions of other being and civilisations out there in the cosmos more advance in tech/magic than Earth but these earthlings can still somehow outsmart them!
