What superheros/supervillains have intelligence as a main attribute or power?

Beast
Professor X
Bruce Banner*

* not so much when he’s Hulk though

Obvi…

Professor Xavier and Magneto.

I’m impressed that you’d write Batman. It’s correct, of course, but most people think Batman is just a really strong guy with a lot of cool gadgets. They don’t realize that he’s actually the “World’s Greatest Detective”

I’ll just add that DC comics third major comic was “Detective Comics” which introduced Batman in issue #37. Detective Comics was eventually shortened to DC Comics.

^^ Alfred’s the real hero in that outfit, if you ask me. ^_^

@Seek_Kolinahr Then I will add Cadbury from richy rich.

That’s… not a superhero comic.

@Seek_Kolinahr Yeah I guess but He sure knew how to fence.

Nagato Yuki

The Question
Lex Luthor

Most of Batman’s villans.

Lex Luthor took a long time to get mentioned.
Egg Head
Iron Man

Nara Shikamaru

The Doctor.
Sherlock Holmes.
Professor Moriarty.
Casanova Frankenstein.

The Joker.
the Beyonder.
Galactis.
Thantos.
Owato the watcher.

I’m also a bit surprised Lex took so long to be mentioned. But I thought Tony Stark’s major attribute was alcohol tolerance; his liver is tougher than the Hulk.

Captain America, believe it or not. It’s not the sort of intelligence that leads to designing N-dimensional teleporters, but there is a reason that he leads the Avengers.

The Mad Thinker

@jerv: True, he is a master tactician.

Also, Hank Pym (aka Giant Man, Ant Man, and Yellow Jacket) is a scientist and founding Avenger. ‘course, he’s also a wife beater, but that’s another story

@cookieman Cyclops is/was in the same vein, but that was played down due to his optic blast. For every time where his leadership/tactical skills came to the fore, there were at least 50 instances of his visor being removed/stolen, and at least another 100 where he blasted something with his eyes.

Peppa Pig & Tinky Winky

@jerv: So true — or he was so filled with angst over Jean/Madilyn/Nathan/Alex, that he would just mope and moan.

@cookieman If I wanted angst, I’d go for Spider-man.

@jerv: Yeah, that’s why they made his marriage to Mary Jane magically go away.
