Why do people think of Superman as being a dumb brute? Each time a debate is brought up and it involves Superman, it boils down to "WELL <insert name here> IS SMARTER THAN SUPERMAN SO HE WOULD LURE HIM TO A PLANET WITH A RED SUN OR SHOVE KRYPTONITE DOWN HIS SCROTUM" or something like that. It's pretty ridiculous with Batman, but now Doctor Who fans have jumped on the boat. Another forum I was at decided to start "Superman vs. The Master" and The Master is winning due to "EXTREME INTELLIGENCE AND USAGE OF KRYPTONITE SCREWDRIVERS." What we have here is an opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how smart Superman [I]really[/I] is.

Or at least one of them.[/url] [url=http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Superman_(Clark_Kent)#Powers]"Genius-Level Intellect: Superman has shown incredible intelligence and computational abilities; his mind works sharply and with extreme speed relative to earth-humans. His analytical powers are impressive — he is able to use his senses to read information directly from machines (and, with careful usage of his heat vision, he can even reprogram machines). Recently after he regained his powers in the "One Year Later" arc, his brain's intelligence has increased and it operates with much greater speed, procession, and analytical prowess, to the point he can recall things in such detail that he knows the ballistics of every shot by Bloodshot and the vector and mass of each and every one of Riot's bodies. He can see into one of the most advanced Kryptonian Sun Stone Battle Ships and watch energy patterns shift and change, trace command signals at light speed down branching, maze-like pathways whilst, at the same time, finding one small knot of circuitry."
