M'kay I'm gonna write something let me know what you think!
Infiltrating a super villain school with nothing but diapers and baby powder or breaking into high-security locations like Baltasar Bratt’s fortress, clearly show his skill in executing
complex strategies under pressure, these are primarily examples of his tactical and improvisational
genius rather than deep scientific mastery. His ability to quickly devise plans, even in unexpected situations, and his knack for using minimal resources creatively are impressive but fall into high-level genius and adaptability, not necessarily the groundbreaking intelligence that defines an Extraordinary Genius.
Gru’s technology, including his miniature rockets and interplanetary travel upgrades, is indeed advanced and far beyond real-world tech, but much of his success in these areas is shared with
!!!!Dr. Nefario!!!!, who plays a significant role in developing these futuristic devices. Even his childhood feat of building a small rocket is incredible but doesn’t necessarily demonstrate broad, multi-disciplinary expertise; it highlights his early passion for engineering, which is a singular scientific field.
The argument that being skilled in many scientific disciplines because of his various inventions and his complex lair construction suggests he has a good grasp of multiple fields, but we don’t see him operating at a superhuman level of knowledge across diverse scientific domains like an Extraordinary Genius would. His chemistry skills, while quite impressive, are limited to the creation of specific weapons that could be possibly replicable rather than groundbreaking, expansive scientific contributions. Furthermore, while he is skilled in combat and infiltration, these talents are more about physical prowess and tactical intelligence rather than exceeding intellectual limits.
Overall, Gru’s intelligence shines in strategic planning, engineering, and adaptation, but he doesn’t exhibit the perfect grasp and mastery of multiple scientific fields,yes, Gru demonstrates broad intelligence across biology, physics, and chemistry, evident in his inventive weaponry. But certainly not on a level that outperforms supercomputers, or the ability to predict complex outcomes with sheer mental calculation that define an Extraordinary Genius. His achievements, while impressive, are grounded in the realm of human
genius rather than transcending it.
Now if we dive into the explanation that was given in the page; "(
Built a prototype rocket when he was a child, capable of using complex invention such as the freeze ray and Shrink Ray after only seeing them being used once, outsmarted and evaded the Vicious Six as a child, likely built his entire underground secret lair along with Doctor Nefario."
I'm not seeing a single argument that fits the EG category here,
"Individuals whose knowledge spreads over multiple fields of science and who vastly surpass the real world's upper human limits." Not even mentioned once, only Dr. Nefario's creations are mentioned which would let us believe in scientific multidisciplinary good knowledge, but it's not Gru's, it's
Dr. Nefario's..
"At this level, many are capable of creating extremely advanced futuristic technology." Well not really, again these are mainly Dr. Nefario's inventions, Gru has some inventions of his known but they're not futuristic at all, he built a skyrocket and a kind of advanced transportation vehicle.
"Executing complex strategies even under high pressure" I'll give him that, he's shown to be still doing extremely well in tense and hostile environments, being creative with his approach in how to defeat whatever he has to defeat.
"Outperforming supercomputers,[1] and even accurately predicting the future through sheer mental calculations." This shouldn't be discussed, he's nowhere near it, and never predicted the future.
