      To be fair, Dr. Manhattan meant that in the context of the ability to harm him not the level of human intelligence.
      Ozymandias outwitted him even though Dr. Manhattan had the ability of foresight to see into the future

      @@AC-iz7eh Then why would he include the word smartest twice? Yes, Ozymandias is intelligent. But, compared to Dr. Manhattan he might as well be a slug. He deceived Dr. Manhattan by concealing his movements. Dr. Manhattan didn't even know there was a scheme occurring because he wasn't looking. That's not outwitting someone if they don't even know there is a contest of wits. After the deed was done there was no going back. So, they made the best of it.

      You might want to re-watch that scene again. He said "Adrian, you are but a man. The world's smartest man *poses no threat* to me any more than the world's smartest thermite"
      Like I said Dr. Manhattan meant it in the context that Ozymandias was trying to kill him by using the disassembler except he wasn't.
      He was just trying to buy more time for the world leaders to negotiate. And next when Adrian picks up the TV remote, Dr. M asks again "what's that? Another super weapon of yours?" Also look at how Dr. M speaks, with that ego, belittling Adrian when he was actually outwitting him playing a 4D chess. He may have the power of foresight and knowledge about a lot of things but it doesn't mean he's smarter than Adrian

      ​​​@@leekovalskyj9218 The field of anthropology doesn't consider Neanderthals to be likely more intelligent than Homo Sapiens.
      Neanderhals had larger brains cavity volumes but that was due to an adaptation to the cold. Modern Inuit people have larger brains compared to the average human for the same reason.
      In terms of material evidence, Neanderthals were probably similar in intelligence. They were definitely behind in terms of social coordination and technology (Neanderthals hunted with spears and never really had groups of say, 50+ people)
      It is also thought that Neanderthal brains were more specialized towards coordination rather than intellige mnce in comparison to Homo Sapiens.

      ​​@@leekovalskyj9218There's been a largely political push to suddenly make Neanderthals out to be these geniuses they weren't because of who happens to carry the most Neanderthal DNA in modern populations.
      In truth, the Neanderthal was outcompeted and absorbed specifically because it lacked the creative intelligence, and the social intelligence to compete against Homo Sapiens for resources once the two were doing so.
      Homo Sapiens were simply better, and this is why they are the dominant species today, and Neanderthals are only seen in traces of their DNA.
      A modern human child has more creative and social intelligence than a grown Neanderthal did, and that's even if you never expose that child to technology or formal education.
      It's a shame when politics enters science.

    This comparison reminds me of an old Silver Age Superman comic. There was a flashback scene where Lara was telling her husband Jor-El that she was worried about their infant son Kal-El because he was almost a year old and he hadn't *mastered calculus* yet.
    It both showed that Kryptonians (just basic, no super powers Kryptonians) were far beyond normal human intelligence and development, and showed that Superman's actually not anywhere near the smartest Kryptonian that ever was (canonically, his cousin Kara Zor-El (Supergirl) is quite a bit better scholastically, especially considering she was in her early teens when she left Argo City (a Kryptonian city that had temporarily survived the explosion in a force field but slowly started to die out as the rock and soil began to convert to Kryptonite)).
    It's almost a tragedy in terms of the character that Superman is so physically powerful, because if he had the time to devote to trying to help the people of Earth with his mind and his people's science he could probably do more good.

    There was a study once with a human toddler and a chimp toddler. The scientists would have them both do some exercises. At the end, the chimp wasn’t any smarter and didn’t perform any better, but the child acted more like a chimp. They agreed to never do that study ever again.
