Peter Parker?

It's either Professor Xavier, Victor von Doom or Reed Richards.

Dr Doom is pretty smart too.

Difficult to say really as they are brilliant in different ways. Wonder who's has the most brilliant and least flawed mind?

Edit: also they are mostly just smart sciency types who were smart before they became super. Who's mind is their superpower?

Prof Xavier. But still not as smart as Galactus.

Out of that list, Reed Richards, although he's also really boring.

Tony Stark is brilliant, but there was the small matter of his alcoholism. Victor Von Doom is a master of both science and sorcery, but is a bit too grudgey and keeps failing because of that. Hank Pym is a wife slapping nutter, Bruce Banner has to timeshare with the Jolly Green Giant, and Peter Parker suffers from writers forgetting he's a genius (see also Kitty Pryde). Forge is a bit B-list.

Funny you found forge b list. Its power is being a genius. I remember him outsourcing Stark's sentry buy building a stealth jeep.
And we're talking about sheer genius. I would say Pym or forge. But again open to debate.
IIRC Xavier only build cerebro...

Look at that list: Marvel's a bit crap, isn't it? I mean, none of them can compare to Batman or Judge Dredd, for example. Or Superman, surely the greatest superhero of them all?

@mogrim

You are so wrong. 😉 The only good thing out of DC was Batman. As for Superman, I can not imagine a more boring superhero. The very premise was ridiculous. I mean, he could do [i]everything[/i]. And his principal nemesis? A rich guy. Uh huh. A superhero so powerful, he could turn back time by reversing the earth's axis, against a vaguely evil Richard Branson.

Give me Spider-Man or the X-Men any day over Superman.

Incidentally, did anyone on here ever read Alpha Flight?

Yes, I am nerd.

Ignoring my 2000AD reference (I've ignored Nemesis, Halo Jones, ABC Warriors...) DC also has The Authority, and they rock.

As for Superman, I can not imagine a more boring superhero. The very premise was ridiculous. I mean, he could do everything. And his principal nemesis? A rich guy. Uh huh. A superhero so powerful, he could turn back time by reversing the earth's axis, against a vaguely evil Richard Branson.

Not a huge fan of Superman, but he is the archetypal Superhero. No other character can hold a candle to him. And despite not being a huge fan, this looks pretty cool:

Technically he is - there's a character called Ozymandias who's the scribe of Apocalypse...

funny you found forge b list

It's not so much his powers, it's the fact that he's one of those characters that Marvel writers forgets exist for years on end! 😛
