Outta the pantheon of very smrt, who do you consider the Wile E. Coyote award winner for supergenius?
Einstein maybe? Shakespeare? Galileo? maybe Sir Isaac Newton or Jonas Salk?
I'd make this a poll, but for every Kepler or Fermi I included, I'd leave out an Aristotle or Hawking, ergo, I'll leave up to you boys and girls to figure out an answer, or hell top five answers on the board.
So, who do you want to do your homework when it comes crashing down and it hurts inside? Pick one, take a stand, it don't help to hide.

Tough. So many great minds.
I think I'll take Newton. Basically explained the world around us and why everything happens. Inspired many great minds like Einstein.

Leonardo da Vinci has my vote. Clearly ahead of his time and phenomenal in several fields.

The person that invented sex.
But for a serious answer, Da Vinci. The dude made fully functional semi-automatic and automatic gun prototypes, as well as tank prototypes at a time where they didn't even have muzzle loaded muskets working properly!

It's Newton or the guywho figured out you could mix a lot of stuff together and make cake out of it. Seriously, theres mass complexities that go into that.

The dude made fully functional semi-automatic and automatic gun prototypes, as well as tank prototypes at a time where they didn't even have muzzle loaded muskets working properly! Agreed. Da Vinci had ideas and concepts years ahead of his time |

Da Vinci because he was a genious in so many different realms.
With everyone else I think you would have to break it down by catagory or even sub-catagory (like Science or Biology/Physics/Astronomy ect)
Physics: Einstein
Military: Julius Caesaer
Political: Augustus Caesar
Astronomy: Hawkings
Mathmatics: Archiamedes
Literature: Dostaesky
Architecture: Whoever designed the pyramids.
I could go on and on

I'm voting for Dexter, Boy Genius. He's so smart that he has a huge lab built under his house without the folks being none the wiser.
