Top 10 Smartest TV Characters
Michael J. Scofield, played by Wentworth Miller, is a fictional character and one of the two protagonists of the American television series Prison Break. Breaking out of a prison with maximum-level security, as well as two other high-security prisons, and then breaking his girlfriend out of another top-security prison is only for genius people. But this is not the most impressive thing. He brought down an entire anonymous company that would rule the USA and the entire world.
The way he got the Scylla was unbelievable! He did dozens of genius moves, but the two that impressed me the most were the plan to access the office of Jacob (an evil genius) and how he outsmarted Jacob, incriminating him for the murder that Jacob actually committed! He is from another planet!
By the way, sorry for my bad English.
Rick Sanchez is a fictional character from the American animated television series Rick and Morty, aired on Adult Swim. Titled the "smartest man in the universe" by so far everyone in the universe. He even managed to be the smartest of all the alternate versions of himself. He's manipulative, brilliant, and logical.
Titled Smartest Man in the Universe in an infinite universe.
That technically makes him smarter than any other entity in any fictional universe.
Rick Sanchez knows everything. Rick Sanchez can do everything. Rick Sanchez is easily the smartest guy in the universe. He is basically God.
Sheldon Lee Cooper, Ph.D., Sc.D., is a fictional character in the CBS television series The Big Bang Theory, portrayed by actor Jim Parsons. Sheldon is known for being highly intelligent in scientific matters but socially inept... read more How is he so low? His IQ is 187, he was a child prodigy, he won a Nobel prize, he has an eidetic memory, and he got a Ph.D. at 14. He is a theoretical physicist, a human calculator, and can solve calculus problems in his head.
He is technically in the super-genius IQ range. He can hack into a government supercomputer and has a wide range of knowledge from math to history. His job involves staring at a board of complicated mathematical equations and variables.
He knows more about comic books than anyone ever and had higher than 110% in his theoretical physics class at age 10. He mastered calculus, Euclidean geometry, quantum chromodynamics, Newtonian mechanics, and Einstein's general theory of relativity. He has never missed a single problem or gotten a math problem wrong in his life.
He is near the top of my favorite geniuses. I always love when he isn't up to date on the pop culture stuff because he's just not interested and has more important things to do!
Reid is far smarter than Sheldon. Reid has three Ph.D.s and knows far more than physics. He got those Ph.D.s before the age of 24. Sheldon only has two Ph.D.s and a master's.
So, who do you think is smarter? I say Reid. He's even smarter than Velma.
He's super smart, and he's just plain adorable. I know that doesn't have anything to do with the question, but it had to be said.
House has intelligence that is not one-dimensional. He excels in science, medicine, language, human nature, biology, and music and has the best jokes.
Simply has the most intellectual brain power in television history. I'd put Dr. Hannibal very close behind him, and Walter White in third.
From the future, meaning he knows more than anyone from the present time.
Good news, everybody... I'm smart! Heh heh.
Only smarter than all of the others because of his futuristic intellectual resources.
Simply better than Dexter.
31? 31? You have got to be kidding yourself. He is by far smarter than everyone on the list, apart from Gregory House and maybe Mycroft Holmes.
Also, considering his knowledge of almost all fields and unmatched memory, he can be compared to a few Star Trek characters who don't belong on this list in the first place.
Huh? There isn't a single character in the top 10 who is as smart as him. Also, Leonardo from Da Vinci's Demons should be here too, maybe the only one smarter than Sherlock among show protagonists.
Sherlock is on every other top list, and he has the smarts to prove it.
Dexter Morgan is a fictional character and the antihero of a series of novels by Jeff Lindsay, including Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Dearly Devoted Dexter, Dexter in the Dark, Dexter by Design, Dexter Is Delicious, Double Dexter, and Dexter's Final Cut. Combined, his practical and theoretical intelligence could defeat any opponent. He should definitely be higher ranked on this list.
Simply the smartest criminal of all time.
The Newcomers
Phineas Flynn is one of the two titular protagonists of the animated television series Phineas and Ferb. Voiced by Vincent Martella and created and designed by Dan Povenmire, Phineas first appeared, along with the rest of the series' main characters, in the pilot episode "Rollercoaster."... read more He should be way higher. He and his brother built a supercomputer that knows every single thing, a tower that created a force field around the galaxy, fixed a time travel machine, and constructed a football X-7 stadium, which is a significant in-universe feat.
They also fought off an army of robots, made robot clones of themselves, and accomplished all of this in at most six hours. And these aren't even half of their inventions or schemes.
The Governor is a fictional character and a primary antagonist from the The Walking Dead comic book and television series. Strategic and street-smart. Eugene is definitely the smartest on The Walking Dead, but he's book-smart.
James "Jimmy" Isaac Neutron is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Jimmy Neutron franchise . He is most notably the main protagonist of the 2001 American 3D computer-animated comic science fiction film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and the main protagonist of the American computer animated... read more He's animated. Cartoons generally venture into the realm of the impossible.
It doesn't matter if it is animated. It said TV characters for animated and live actors.
He is the mastermind. He should be placed among the top 5. The way he planned the heist is mind-blowing and yet believable.
Spock is a fictional character in the Star Trek media franchise. Spock was first portrayed by Leonard Nimoy in the original Star Trek series.
Walter "Walt" Hartwell White Sr. is a fictional character and the main protagonist of "Breaking Bad," portrayed by Bryan Cranston. He is a high school chemistry teacher going through a mid-life crisis who recently discovered he had lung cancer... read more Definitely one of the smartest criminal masterminds of all time!
Oh, come on! He is the smartest ever.
Stewart Gilligan "Stewie" Griffin is a main character from the animated television series Family Guy. Obsessed with violence and matricide, Stewie is the youngest child of Peter and Lois Griffin, and the brother of Meg and Chris Griffin. Created time travel while still wearing a diaper.
Super genius baby invented a time machine and can do amazing fight moves. He has a whole bunch of guns.
Velma Dinkley is a fictional character in the Scooby-Doo franchise. She is usually seen wearing a baggy orange turtleneck, short red pleated skirt, knee socks, Mary Janes, and most prominently, a pair of square glasses, which she frequently loses.
The Doctor is the title character and protagonist in the long-running BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. The only one on this list I would mark as more intelligent than the Doctor is Rick Sanchez. And even then, it's a barely there difference.
He is very smart and got out of very tough spots with only words. He fights things with his mind all the way from bloodthirsty aliens to carnivorous planets. (Don't ask.)
Bro, he is smarter than anyone on this list. He literally knows everything. Not joking, everything.
