    Very true, I forgot about him. I would probably put him above BP and Beast. I don't think he is smarter than Banner and Pym though.

    Not a main Marvel guy, but methos' heavy hint reminded me of the Doctor.

    And BP is close (but behind) Reed. Stop tryna hold him down.

    Really Red Skull still? I don't think Spidey goes up there either. Not if this is the whole Marvel Universe.

    I would have Black Panther on the top ten, but i'm beginning to question his intelligence since the Evolution arc in Wolverine. But maybe i should question the writers intelligence..

    Everyone (except insect) is forgetting Magneto, who is considered a genius in genetics, physics, and mechanical engineering. He isn't at the top, but he certainly is in the top ten.

    High Evolutionary, Thanos, and the Leader all have SUPERHUMAN intelligence and are far superior (no matter how they are written) to anyone with "only" human intelligence.
