Change my Mind: in the DC Verse. Superhuman Intellect is arguably the most important thing and greatest superpower one can have
Lex Luthor called himself overqualified for a task that Mobius said “only a 12th level intellect has the slightest hope of surviving what you’re about to experience.” As Luthor voyaged beyond the Source Wall
Gaining control of the Anti-Life Equation
The same thing the all-powerful entity Darkseid has been after for so long, Lex accomplished casually in an afternoon.
Most of the powerful beings in the verse is a result of either biology (Kryptonians, Martians, Metahumans, Daxamites, Tamareans etc.), chemistry or physics.
Something a Super Genius can take advantage of with Genetic Engineering and DNA 🧬
With all the abundance of tech laying around and civilizations to learn from. All the martial arts available to oneself like we see with Batman.
Truly the mind is the greatest there is. Also funny how most of the Justice League’s Core Seven are super geniuses themselves and wouldn’t even be a fraction as accomplished or powerful without their intellect. Like Flash, Batman, Cyborg and even Superman who’s surprisingly knowledgeable and has all his own Kryptonian tech at the Fortress of Solitude
As well as lesser known members like Firestorm
We see the power of Brainiac, the power that Lex obtained when fusing with said entity and only Flash one of DC’s STRONGEST characters period. Was able to stop him.
Furthermore, Magic which I’ll admit is not orderly and quite chaotic can be exploited to its furthest point by someone witty and smart like say John Constantine
Even there, wielding Magic the way Constantine does or studying Atlantean Magic for one’s own use. Is a game for Geniuses yet again.
Green Lantern rings are TECHNICALLY Tech that from Human’s perspective, is indistinguishable from Magic and Booster Gold shows us that Time Manipulation is also possible to achieve via technological means.
Batman, outwitted and stopped Darkseid by hacking Apokolips and threatening Darkseid himself. A mere human accomplished what a Kryptonian and Amazonian couldn’t as he forced Darkseid into releasing Kara and guaranteeing their departure.
Now That’s Power
