I was reading some old Deadpool issues, and it struck me that there are quite a few supergeniuses int he Marvel universe. All that brain power should've cured cancer or something. Yeah, I know. They addressed the whole "why doesn't everyone have a flying car" issue in universe with some weak economic defense, but still. I'm not just talking about certified superhuman intelligence. I'm talking about people of supposedly normal intelligence, who nevertheless create crazy things.
Off the top of my head:
Tony Stark
Read Richards
Arnim Zola
The Leader
Weasel
Bruce Banner
Walter Langowski
Forge (though writers usually make it clear he doesn't understand the things he makes, he still makes them)
Hank McCoy
Henry Pym
Janet van Dyne
Curt Connors (when sane)
Peter Parker (sometimes--some writers seem to forget his science aptitude)
The Jackal
Norman Osbourne
The entire nation of Wakanda
