User blog comment:Blinkn/8 Smartest People?/@comment-4360958-20120320233631

The Intelligensia sought to remove the 8 smartest people other than themselves, which were Mr. Fantastic, Henry Pym, Tony Stark, Dr. Doom, Black Panther, Bruce Banner, Amadeus Cho, and Hank McCoy.

Of course, I question whether they are truly the most intelligent as MODOK, Mad Thinker etc don't seem to get credit for their intelligence - low self-esteem? Valeria may have pwned Cho once, but not one of the people on the list except perhaps Banner has Cho's ability to calculate physics and trajectories in real-time (don't ask me how his aim is so perfect to go along with his brainpower).

I guess only natural geniuses get credit as Machine Man and Zero/One and the like do not appear here.
