Is this supergenius?

If a character created a device that allowed him to travel from his world to the 5th dimension would that be supergenius?

Note that the 5th dimension in question is accepted as Low 1-C.
 
Depends on context. How he do it? Did his machine took a long time to build? Does it use a supernatural energy or something special that enables it to achieve the feat?

No, it didn't take long and the device is the size of a phone or so. It uses magic power as the energy source or battery but other than that it's all science. Magic power in this case is basically what energy would be IRL.
 
Well, with it being magic it does take a lot of the impressiveness of the feat away. What character is it?
 
If it was not with magic would it make a difference?
Depending on context once again, but I would say yes. Magic is not something we can really measure, as by its very nature it already messes with our laws of physics and engineering.

A Supergenius is a character that's able to shape reality itself through sheer engineering prowess and ability to exploit and take advantage of any and all resource available, within reasonable timeframes. Case n point, Dexter from DexLab is able to create machines that turn dreams into reality by, essentially, either electrical or nuclear power. By the sheer quality of the machine itself. That's absolutely ridiculous, and the level of resource management and engineering to a minute detail to even try and do something similar is completely unthinkable by any semblance of normality.

That's the kind of level we're dealing with Supergenius characters.

Got it. Thanks for answering my questions.
 
That's the easiest way to prove it, indeed.

Even comic Tony Stark is "merely" Extraordinary Genius despite creating armors capable of contending with the Phoenix Force, which is also Low 1-C here.

Does the warping need to be on a large scale? Or is it fine for it to be door to room size?

Seriously? Why isn't he already supergenius?! Lol

The warping must be achieved at very high scales, as stated in the intelligence page. Bare minimum cosmic if not straight universal.

He can't be considered a Supergenius since he only possess expertise and prowess in weapon armor making. When compared to someone like Mister Fantastic that completely masters all forms of science to the absolute highest of levels, and who can create machines that frequently contend with the nature of reality, then yeah. You can clearly see the limits of Tony.

I see. That does make sense.

Anyways, thanks again for answering.
 
As far as I know, this would more so qualify as extraordinary Genius. If he created it from scratch with no super outside sources, and he can basically control the 5th dimension's powers to do things not just simply travel to it. That would have been Supergenius.
