Is Riri Williams smarter than Tony Stark?
When the character was first introduced in the comics, the character's creator was quoted saying that Riri was smarter than Tony Stark. But in the cinematic version, the characters might be too comparable to be ranked, at least for now.
However, the Ironheart mantle is something decidedly different, hence why Ironheart can't simply be referred to as a female Iron Man. Riri was inspired by Stark and is honoring him, but she's not a replacement.
History. In this universe, Tony Stark is a woman (Natasha Stark) rather than a man. At some point Natasha became the heroine known as Iron Woman. The Civil War has been averted wholly because Natasha and Steve Rogers were romantically involved, and eventually married.
Says He's 'Happy' to Be Done With Marvel Movies. “You start to wonder if a muscle you have hasn't atrophied.” Tony Stark himself has revealed he is “happy” to be out of the Marvel machine.

In 2013, Howard once again acknowledged the change-up during a guest appearance on Watch What Happens Live, revealing that he was pushed out due to a salary conflict.
Chris Evans Isn't Returning to Marvel Any Time Soon, But “Never Say Never” The man once known as Captain America talks about resisting a “cash grab” sequel and why he agrees with Quentin Tarantino about Marvel movies in a new GQ profile.
I just wasn't sure if I was moving closer to myself or further away. And something inside me kept saying that I was getting further away—that something about this industry wasn't healthy. One person who convinced Evans to accept the role was Downey Jr., who kicked off the MCU in 2008.
The main Tony could also return through time travel, which he invented in the MCU, bringing the tech full circle. As happened in the comics and the Iron Man 4 trailer shows, Tony Stark could also return to the MCU through artificial intelligence.
Tony Stark's best friend, James Rhodes, is one of the few to wear the Iron Man armor, other than Tony Stark himself. Although he initially took on the role when Stark was dealing with his demons, Rhodes has reprised the role over the years.
After JARVIS became a real boy, Stark communicated with his myriad tech through a new voice assistant, FRIDAY (Female Replacement Intelligent Digital Assistant Youth.) Literally termed as a replacement for JARVIS, “she” still maintained a sassy personality and helped Stark right up until the end.
Providing a less-than-serious reply, Namor said that "It means I'm going to feed your sorry Asgardian hide to the biggest sharks I can find!"

When it comes to the smartest Avenger, it has to be Iron-Man that is considered to be the most intelligent. While he and Bruce Banner are likely on a level when it comes to their scientific knowledge, the fact that he retains that when turning into Iron-Man just edges him above the big green guy.
The Most intelligent avenger among all is two which most of you've already expected. Tony stark is a self-made avenger without any kinda in-built powers in Him. His intelligence and Determination of saving the world have led him to be an Iron man.
Thanos went to a craftsman for his Gauntlet, implying that he isn't the ridiculously brilliant engineer Tony is (he built a super-suit in cave using a missile!). If it had been Tony, I guarantee he would have built it on his own.
Evans doesn't completely deny the possibility of returning, but emphasizes the need for a perfect project. He values the Captain America role and would only consider a return if the opportunity is just right.
