However, before Doom debuted in The Fantastic Four: First Steps‘ post-credits scene, what we saw of Mister Fantastic in the MCU movie made me think of how he fits within the MCU’s smartest heroes list. Tony Stark has done so much for Earth and his universe, but after rewatching
Iron Man is the MCU’s resident genius. His feats of intelligence have been present in the franchise from its inception, with Downey’s Tony Stark being able to build an Iron Man armor with a box of scraps in a cave in the MCU’s first movie, 2008’s
Tony dabbled with AI, creating both Ultron, who ultimately went rogue, and Vision, who became an extremely powerful hero that was worthy of holding Thor’s magic hammer, Mjolnir. The Iron Man suits were upgraded with time, being made of nanotechnology by Downey’s final appearance as Iron Man. Additionally, Tony Stark was responsible for cracking the code on time travel and fooling Thanos to save the universe.
After listing Iron Man’s incredible feats, it is easy to see why many consider him to be the MCU’s smartest character. That said,
If we take the MCU’s timeline, that would put Pascal’s Reed Richards at the same point as Iron Man from 2012’s The Avengers. However, in the time that it took for Tony to go from a selfish hero to a selfless character in
Mister Fantastic simply managed to stop all crime in preparation for Franklin Richards’ birth, developing systems and tracking down criminal organizations. We also see how well-versed in space exploration he is. Finally, Reed Richards manages to perfect teleportation, being able to move Earth — or Galactus — to the other side of the universe, making him smarter than Iron Man in
It’s the last person anyone would expect.
General Hospital keeps throwing suspects at us in the Who Shot Drew mystery. Was it Willow? Michael? Portia? Nina? Jacinda? They all have good reasons to do it. (Most of the audience feels the same.) But there is one person who has the best reason to want Drew gone. And, so far, no one has considered them….
Key Takeaways
You’d think, what with gaslighting Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), taunting Michael (Rory Gibson), harassing Portia (Brook Kerr), and trying to steal Monica’s (Leslie Charleson) house — not to mention swiping Tracy’s (Jane Elliot) luggage (SO mature) — Drew (Cameron Mathison) would have no time to be making his daughter Scout’s (Cosette Abinante) life miserable. And if you ask Drew, it’s not Scout he’s trying to make miserable, it’s her brothers, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Rocco (Finn Carr). And her grandmother, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn).
Drew is throwing out restraining orders, right and left, to keep them all away from his little girl. For her own good, of course.
Well, Scout isn’t appreciating his efforts. She hasn’t said much about it to Drew. Probably because the poor girl has already lost her mother, Sam (Kelly Monaco).
Drew has isolated her from most of her family. Scout doesn’t want to risk losing her father’s life, too. While he’s alive, that is. If Scout is forced to live with only Drew, it would be nice if he didn’t hate her. On the other hand…
On the other hand… if Scout didn’t have to live with Drew… if he were, say, dead… why, that would be a whole other story! If Drew were out of the way, Scout could see her brothers. And her grandma. And her aunts. And basically anyone she wanted, without fear that Drew might remember that they snubbed him in an elevator once by letting the door shut in his face, and now he has a score to settle.
Could Scout have been the one to shoot Drew? Maybe because she heard about this girl in Salem, who shot her uncle… and got away with it, scot-free.
