Darkseid, Brainiac, Luthor, Batman, Steel, and I guess Prometheus. DC is hard to figure out, there smart people aren’t as prominent in comics as Marvel’s.
No. Cho said so himself that he’s the 7th smartest. I wouldn’t count Thanos since Cho and others count only those that are from Earth. Many earthlings probably don’t even know Thanos exist.

I think Doom is the most intelligent, he’s only hampered by his arrogance. Definitely more intelligent than Richards. IIRC Doom is the only human (other than Kang) to create a fully working Time Machine, which IIRC Reed “borrowed” the designs from. (Reed’s father made one but it turned out to be an alternate Earth Transporter). Also, Doom has great Arcane knowledge aside from his scientific knowledge.
