I won't go so far as to say Lex is smarter
Lex is the smartest human being in DC while Stark is top 10 in Marvel. Tony's specialty is engineering and tech whereas Lex has mastered every form of science including ones he's created. Dude has cures for nearly every disease imaginable but doesn't share them cause he's an a$$hole:mjlol:

Reed Richards acknowledged Stark as being one of the few people who were on his level in Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, Nanotech, & Quantum Mechanics. :francis:

In the field of building tech, he said during the Illuminati run that Stark surpassed him in that facet. :StephenAYE:

I still voted for Lex because he has a more durable suit. :CudiInTheCut:

Yeah, like I said Tony is a beast at engineering, inventing, and tech in general. He's very specialized. Lex is a beast at everything. With BannerTech, Bruce Banner has shown he can do what Tony can as well as the multitude of other things he's mastered. We know the deal with Richards and Doom. I'm not even sure Tony is above Hank Pym:manny:

tony's deal is that he's specialized in an extremely visible area of expertise.

Everybody sees the shyt tony builds. It's impressive. And huge. Like that dyson sphere, his armors, tech tech tech.

Lex, though..... Lex is like Reed if Reed didn't have powers to stretch his brain. His actual Marvel peer would be T'Challa.


With that said, one on one, without shyt like aerial satellite super laser nukes and extra suits for backup? Lex would wash Tony.


:heh: look at it like this:

Tony has to create suits to beat Hulk... and 9.5/10, those suits fail.

Lex jumps in that armor of his and fights SUPERMAN.... WITH HIS WHOLE HEAD EXPOSED. EVERY. TIME.

Lex showed up on Marvel earth, Apocalypse would be feening for that armor. :russ:

We agree Lex would pull out the win but you can't be reading the same comics from even the past 5 years if you think Pym & Stark are still on even ground. They've continuously allowed Starks intelligence to grow along with his popularity. Fair or not, that's a current fact & his feats surpass Pym & Banner.

Let's keep it a buck: Lex can keep his chrome dome exposed fighting Supes because he knows that Clark will never hit him with a tenth of the force needed to kill him. :GotDamnScust:

Tony knows some of his allies would bust his skull to the white meat, nevermind his enemies. :DemonicJuice:

Pym Particles and creating Ultron alone are some of the most significant feats in Marvel. I have no problem putting Tony above him, but my reasoning for even bringing him up is to show how far removed Luthor is from every other genius human in DC vs Stark. Luthor's real competition is Braniac. That's some OP shyt, fam.

As funny as the jokes about his exposed head are, y'all know full well he has a force field protecting his dome:russ:
