No. That isn't good enough, he's the type of genius where a "normal" genius like Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, or Stephen Hawking would only understand the gist of what he is saying.In the film it mentions him having graduated from MIT summa cum laude, having entered at age 15 and graduating top of his class. MIT doesn't track that. It doesn't have Latin honors, valedictorians, and the like. Graduating from MIT is the honor. Tony Stark is so freaking smart that (in universe) MIT broke their own rules to recognize his mind blowing intelligence level.So born 18, leveling at 4 and 6 bring that to a 20. Plus some kind of child prodigy, and successful genius feats*. So we can give him a 22 Int. Doesn't seem that epic. But with, max ranks in Knowledge (we'll say engineering cover building the suit) he has a +9 without his INT mod, +15 with it. Skill Focus in that Knowledge (engineering) that is +18. His lab give +2 circumstantial bonus,  Jarvis is using Aid Another +2, and we'll include something from the robots (+2) and a synergy +2 bonus. So we have a +26 to the knowledge check. If he rolls a 20 he gets a 46 that knowledge check.  According to the <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/knowledge.htm" target="_blank">SRD</a> a "really tough" knowledge question is 20-30. Getting a 45+ Knowledge (Engineering) check: you get the Iron Man Suit. This is keeping him at 6th level and using three feats. So I say a 22 INT with two feats combining to give a (combined) +2 bonus to INT. If you make him in the "heroic tier" of 3.5 you can boost it, going "wuxia" and "suerpheroes" really lets you bring his capabilities to insane levels. *Many people who are child prodigies don't go on to be geniuses, they basically become normal when the age.</blockquote>
