Reed is smarter than Doom, but Doom takes his science a lot further because he has nothing holding him back. Reed was out there building dimensional bridges that hooked him up with an interdimensional Illuminati of himselves who had a basement full of captured Dooms, but his fam always stops him from going over the deep end with that shyt.

Smart as in Raw intelligence ?
Reed probably is the smartest
However Charles Xavier can control and read minds
If he knows what the smartest man is thinking and can make you do anything that would seem to make him pretty smart

Reed is Leonardo, Doom is Raphael
bad analogy i admit, i'm searching my brain for one better
banner is to bio what stark is to tech. Pym falls in the middle.
I dunno.

See to me, Doom's current feat in Secret Wars 2015, "taking over the universe for kicks", felt more circumstantial than him being smarter than Reed and the rest of the Illuminati (T'Challa, Stark, Banner, Hank, etc).
i.e. Molecule Man, this nigh all powerful deux ex machina villain who can alter reality, knew exactly why worlds and universes were being destroyed, and knew who the villains behind it all were (b/c he was created by said villains)... he went to Doom and told him everything. He even told Doom what the short term solution was (kill all the alternate universe Molecule Men, since the MMs were created to be universe-destroying time bombs by the villains) and gave Doom the tool needed to destroy them.
From that point on, Doom gets credit for how he used the provided information to get to where things are now... but point is, he got a lot of that info upfront... whereas Reed, T'Challa, Stark and co were essentially in the dark having to do guess work from scratch.

And just by the very nature of Doom and Reed, in particular...
By set principle, Doom is the 'bad guy' so he's always going to be coming up with schemes and setting things in motion unbeknownst to the F4, who are otherwise minding their own business...
Basically Doom (with however much 'prep time' he wants) instigates and Reed (fresh on the scene) then has to react to figure out what Doom is doing this time and how to solve it, so during that process Doom will look like he's superior in smarts but context is needed.
Not saying that that's how it works *all* the time but that it's a common trope across mediums.

Forge isn't smart like that. his power is intuitive. He doesn't understand how a lot of the stuff he builds works. He just lets his powers do whatever they do.
I'll always say Doom is smarter, simply because the only better sorcerer in the MU is Doctor strange.
Magic: A whole other section of knowledge that Reed cant even comprehend.

You can't get away with this...when Tony and Reed were left looking and without answers, Doom dissected Galactus using a Klaw weapon and conquered the Beyonders They don't have a feat that touches that. They never did. Reed could never figure out how to reverse Grimm's condition or how to cure the Legacy virus either. So he's not the be and end all...if he was so smart, why was he so fukking frustrated during Onslaught after every device he and Tony put together failed over and over again while Doom appeared, built something on the spot, and created the means that started the ending.
Forge's intelligence comes from his powers...he loses his powers. He's done. That wouldn't matter with Magneto, Sinister, Doom, Reed, or Valeria. They know too much about tech, science, and genetics. I don't see Pym anywhere near the list...Ultron has made a fool out of him for far too long and if wasn't for Wanda bailing him out, he would be dead.
