Intelligence is so loosely defined. The list could change depending on what definition you want to use.

One definition is : The ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. People like Taskmaster and Prodigy would easily make the list by that definition.

I see several people mentioning Stark, probably because of his ability to invent, but I think Forge could surpass him in this aspect because of his mutant ability.

If you are going by broadness of knowledge base, the Watcher, or almost any celestial being for that matter would make the list.

I know this isn't really the way most of you were thinking about the question, but it's a different way to look at it.
