A list of who I believe to be the most sophisticated minds in Marvel. Sophisticated not in terms of sheer knowledge, but how they manage information and how they think. Leaving out any cosmic abstracts for this list because they're thoughts are on a hold different level.
Imagine having to filter through the minds of all the people in one entire planet. Sure there are many powerful telepaths as powerful as Xavier out there, but he is the original telepath for me. The first one to have to realize the kind of power telepathy has and to not abuse it for personal gain and instead for the greater good of humanity and mutants, bringing himself into two different conflicts.
Can you imagine what its like to have to make out everything around you only using the senses of touch and hearing, well here's one person who can do just that, but taking it a step further by actually doing it.
Tony Stark is one of the most revolutionary people of his time. His father may have been the man to start exploring new realms of technology, but Tony brought it all home. He sees technology and machinery on a different scale than most other people and that quality makes him one of the most brilliant minds in Marvel.
He has the power to replicate nearly all tactics used up against him in combat and he can perceive and react accordingly to finish his opponents. While he is one of the deadliest fighter in MU based on skill alone, he can easily replicate almost any action he observes and this makes his minds one of the most special in the MU.
He has lived through two centuries, two World Wars, he has experience beyond most others and it must be torture. Torture to see the people you know die before you, friends you've met all gone only to be replaced. Its impressive how Wolvie has managed to keep his sanity, continuously seeing the same themes of life replay over and over again.
