Let's see, my list would have to be, Stark, Richards, Strange, Black Bolt, and... hmm, well having a hard time really thinking of anyone even half as dumb as those four, but I guess I'd say Jubilee.

Deadpool is simultaneously the smartest and dumbest being in the Marvel U.

Dumbest are often the strongest.

Sadly, that tends to hold true in real life as well.

I disagree.

You must not have been paying attention to the US presidents in the last few decades.

Absorbing Man?

Actually he can absorb knowledge now can't he? Or was that temporary? My memory's sketchy.

Saucer of milk for mister Sighphi.
Although fair point - dumb characters or dumb stories?
Stories are a matter of taste, so I'll go for dumb characters:

Chase Stein
Karolina Dean
Groot
Julie Power
Ant-Man (current)

The "absorbing knowledge" phase, I thought was retconned after Bruce Jones' run, as part of Nightmare's messing with the Hulk.

Not a hero, in any event.

Meltdown (remember when Jubilee was dumb, too? And then now she can work with tech weaponry? Bummer, right?).

Ah, right. I need to read the fine print better. Heroes, eh? I'll go with The Whizzer on this one. He really didn't think that name through.

Nextwave continuity. Forbush Man had no mind to confront. I <3 Tabby, but she is not a MENSA candidate, love.

Hah. Yeah, and then there was when he was told by a cow-lady that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were his kids, and didn't think to ask for a paternity test to confirm what the dairy mistress told him. Yeah, Whizzer was a putz of some sort. I think Wanda also kept telling him to stay retired so he didn't die of a heart attack, too.

She was getting there! She was starting to outwit people!

Rhino. There's a reason he starred in a "Flowers for Algernon" pastiche.

It's rather more pointed in the first few arcs that she's not the brightest bulb.

Karolina is noted in the books as being slightly slow

Similarly, Tabitha (Boom-Boom) was also noted in the X-books as not being a grade A student.

D-man should be self-explanatory (although there, I think he actually has a medical condition)

Volcana (while not a hero is definitely not a villain either) was considered slow and actually considered Skeeter the brains...

Caliban is a good choice as well

As for Jubilee? Er no..she was never slow or anything, she was intended to be a regular level of intelligence a la say Bobby(Iceman)

Nelson "hah Hah"


D-Man (if one thought wave could generate enough power to keep a bulb lit, Demolition man would have to learn to live in the dark)

Warlock -- New Mutants
Bird Brain--New Mutants
Ka-Zar
Tigra (for obvious reasons)

Honorable mention Squirrel Girl
