Who is the most intelligently written character you've seen?
Basically, in the novel I'm writing, I plan to have a character who is the most intelligent person alive. Obviously, I'm not that. However I am a firm believer that you can in fact write someone smarter than you. I'm asking for examples too study and see what they do right. There's countless examples of "smart" characters who are basically just clairvoyant, and I want to try and avoid that.
Like I said, smart characters that are genuinely written intelligently. Preferably in a way where you actually see them DO smart shit and it makes you react like, "Damn, that's smart."
