* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Mixed with AlwaysSecondBest when it comes to Tony Stark. As Reed explains to Steve Rogers, when it comes to problem-solving a ''single'' problem, Reed is just a little bit smarter than Tony, but when it comes to multi-tasking, Tony has the advantage.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Mixed with AlwaysSecondBest when it comes to Tony Stark. As Reed explains to Steve Rogers, when it comes to problem-solving a ''single'' problem, Reed is just a little bit smarter than Tony, but when it comes to multi-tasking, Tony has the advantage. On a wider scale, Reed has shown a willingness to acknowledge when others are more experienced in certain fields than he is, to the extent that he once went to great lengths to recruit the aid of ''Doctor Octopus'' to help during the last stages of Sue's second pregnancy (the first time around) because he recognized that Otto Octavius had superior knowledge of radiation compared to him. He has also acknowledged that Hank Pym is a better biochemist than he is (although he noted that he could match Pym if he devoted weeks of study to a certain subject), and in another storyline that saw the FF work with Spider-Man to deal with an alien invasion that had mutated most of the human race, Reed noted that Spider-Man was better suited to view the problem from the perspective of a biologist than Reed was.
