User blog:Blinkn/8 Smartest People?

The number 8 seems significant for some reason within the comics, as if anyone not on the list of 8 is of lesser intelligence but there is no criteria given for this brain trust. (good, evil, natural or artificially enhanced intellect)

My initial list includes:

Mr Fantastic, Giant Man, Iron Man, Dr Doom, Black Panther, Bruce Banner, Amadeus Cho... and the last spot unknown

Now other possible contenders... Beast, Professor X, Dr Strange, Valeria Richards, and... Franklin

What are some other natural geniuses that could be on the list? (e.g. Magneto)

What are some enhanced intellects that could be on the list? (e.g. the Leader)

What's your list?
