\"Reed<\/p>\n

The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/em>\u00a0shows that Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards is one of the\u00a0Marvel Cinematic Universe’s smartest characters, if not the smartest, and I believe his genius-level intellect surpasses that of Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man. We will soon get to see Pascal and Downey interact in an\u00a0upcoming MCU movie,<\/p>\n

However, before Doom debuted in\u00a0The Fantastic Four: First Steps<\/em>‘ 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\u00a0rewatching\u00a0<\/p>\n

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\u00a0able to build an Iron Man armor with a box of scraps in a cave\u00a0in the MCU’s first movie, 2008’s<\/p>\n

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,\u00a0Tony Stark was responsible for cracking the code on time travel\u00a0and fooling Thanos to save the universe.<\/p>\n

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,\u00a0<\/p>\n

If we take the MCU’s timeline, that would put Pascal’s Reed Richards at the same point as Iron Man from 2012’s\u00a0The Avengers<\/em>. However, in the time that it took for Tony to go from a selfish hero to a selfless character in\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mister Fantastic simply managed to stop all crime\u00a0in 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 \u2014 or Galactus \u2014 to the other side of the universe, making him smarter than Iron Man in<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the last person anyone would expect.<\/p>\n

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\u2026.<\/p>\n

Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019d think, what with gaslighting Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), taunting Michael (Rory Gibson), harassing Portia (Brook Kerr), and trying to steal Monica\u2019s (Leslie Charleson) house \u2014 not to mention swiping Tracy\u2019s (Jane Elliot) luggage (SO mature) \u2014 Drew (Cameron Mathison) would have no time to be making his daughter Scout\u2019s (Cosette Abinante) life miserable. And if you ask Drew, it\u2019s not Scout he\u2019s trying to make miserable, it\u2019s her brothers, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Rocco (Finn Carr). And her grandmother, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn).<\/p>\n

Drew is throwing out restraining orders, right and left, to keep them all away from his little girl. For her own good, of course.<\/p>\n

Well, Scout isn\u2019t appreciating his efforts. She hasn\u2019t said much about it to Drew. Probably because the poor girl has already lost her mother, Sam (Kelly Monaco).<\/p>\n

Drew has isolated her from most of her family. Scout doesn\u2019t want to risk losing her father\u2019s life, too. While he\u2019s alive, that is. If Scout is forced to live with only Drew, it would be nice if he didn\u2019t hate her. On the other hand\u2026<\/p>\n

On the other hand\u2026 if Scout didn\u2019t have to live with Drew\u2026 if he were, say, dead\u2026 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.<\/p>\n

Could Scout have been the one to shoot Drew? Maybe because she heard about this girl in Salem, who shot her uncle\u2026 and got away with it, scot-free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
