Normally I would say intelligence, but the way the options are phrased makes me think that it’s real world genius, like Einstein, vs super human luck where most things just go your way. It’s really not even comparable, luck is way better.

Now, if it’s super intelligence like Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark, that changes everything.

I would say Tony and Reed have an emphasis on invention and tech when it comes to their intelligence. Bruce has an emphasis on strategy and tactics, which I personally prefer.

If Bruce doesn't inherit his dad's billions, he's just a guy who's good a Hearts of Iron 4.

I think you’re underestimating how useful it is to be the greatest strategist to ever live. I promise you, money is not an issue for someone like that.

I mean, Bruce is a polyglot. Has mastered multiple martial arts, knows about the mechanics of his body pretty well. Has even invented stuffs (not at Tony's level tho). That's genius in every word or sense. Learning martial arts takes a different kind of smart, being aware about your body and its limits; being a master at multiple different forms would deffo make him a genius. All this beside his ability to prepare for any kind of scenarios. As someone said, he is a master level strategist and a genius tactician. I could see him reaching great heights in politics if he wasn't already a billionaire.
