There are a lot of very smart people in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the likes of Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Hank Pym, and Shuri somewhere near the top of that list.
The latter is the focus of a new Marvel book titled The Wakanda Files, a collection of Shuri's records on this shared world. While many have argued that the Black Panther hero is the smartest character in the MCU, it sounds like that title might really belong to the original Ant-Man.
After criticizing Iron Man's reliance on technology ("Moving parts mean mechanical failure"), Shuri goes on to praise the incredible work Hank has done.
"There are no words to express the envy I feel toward Lang and Pym for their time in the Quantum Realm. Pym's quantum mechanics research is exciting. The possibilities for transportation improvement..."
"How did Pym get his hands on an EM-drive that works outside of a vacuum chamber?" Shuri wonders. "We have been attempting to create a Mach-effect thrust without a reactionary force for months, maybe years. It defies the laws of physics. Unless the Quantum Realm acts as a vacuum chamber? That would prove Heisenberg's principle of a quantum vacuum. So many questions. We must talk with Pym. Immediately."
Banner may have mastered The Hulk, and Tony figured out time-travel, but it seems Shuri is particularly impressed by what Hank was able to do when he ventured into the Quantum Realm.
Of course, the MCU's real genius will be revealed when Reed Richards makes his debut!
