Fictional geniuses

[ItsRelative]

In movies and series the genius is always the most interesting character.
So let's list some good movies, series or even anime with geniuses or in other ways very intelligent characters. No death note! way too obvious

I start with Walter Bishop from Fringe, awesome character.
Half crazy scatter brained and uninhibited genius with obsession of everything unnatural, foods and drugs

 

[blarg]

Dr. Evil from Austin Powers. Just had to go for that one.

 

[Cavallier]

Sherlock Holmes of course.

The new BBC series is especially good.

 

[Awaken]

Professor X(X Men), Dr. Manhattan(Watchmen), L(Death Note), Data(Star Trek), Edward(Cowboy Bebop), The brain(Pinky and the Brain), Frylock(ATHF), Stewie(Family Guy), Doogie Howser.

Real life, Nicola Tesla. If you dont already know, look him up. Most underappreciated genius in history imo.

Steins;Gate - Lab Coat Scene - YouTube

 

[Cavallier]

Lisbeth Salander - Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

 

[Dr. Freeman]

The Doctor.

a bit out of line, but i liked how ben browder in farscape get's to be the genius because (if i remember correctly, probably not) some aliens implant wormhole technology into his brain, sort of to use him as a portable drive. i like that, because the aliens keep implanting stuff into my subconsciousness as well. or maybe that's just the DMT in my mineal gland.

Ariel from "The End of Mr. Y"
Alice from "PopCo"
Both are the main characters from books by Scarlett Thomas. I am crazy about both of these books (I'm in the middle of reading "Popco") and I think both characters are INTP. I'm guessing the author is an INTP genius as well. I guess that explains why I like the books so much (I'm INTP, but not a genius myself, though :P )

Artemis Fowl. Somewhat a childhood hero of mine.

 

[Allen]

Holden Caulfield and Huey Freeman.

 

[SpaceYeti]

Data(Star Trek)

... Is it even possible for a unique computer to qualify for the term "genius"? I mean... what population are you comparing him against? It's like saying a rock is a vastly superior brick when compared to people.

 

[Lucifer van Satan]

Artemis Fowl. Somewhat a childhood hero of mine.

You have no idea how glad I am that at least somebody mentioned him .

As to the question:

Lelouch Vi Britannia from Code Geass

MBTI: INTJ

A very similar anime to Death Note, widely more preferred, even.

 

[DrGregoryHouse]

He isn't exactly fictional but if he were John Nash from A Beautiful Mind

Will Hunting.

Hannibal Lector

Gandalf

Sheldon Cooper

 

[TimeAsylums]

He

^^^^Dr. Greg House. <3 <3 <3

You have no idea how glad I am that at least somebody mentioned him .

Lelouch Vi Britannia from Code Geass

all of the above, including those in Death Note

 

[Wolf18]

Holden Caulfield and Huey Freeman.

If Holden Caufield was supposed to have written The Catcher in the Rye (which he was – it was in first person), I cannot see him as being a genius.
