Composite Human should be Supergenius

Currently, this wiki's definition of Supergenius intelligence is:

Supergenius: The highest level of non-omniscient intellect, possessed by those individuals with extensive mastery of most, if not all, branches of science. Characters of such a scale tend to be super scientists capable of creating impossibly advanced technology even with just household items and outsmarting even other extremely intelligent individuals. Supergeniuses can often easily outperform the world's greatest supercomputers, process calculations beyond modern humanity's combined capabilities on their own, and quickly come up with extremely complex plans.

As you can see, it suggests that supergeniuses can often easily outperform supercomputers, but that's not a requirement. It would seem like the main requirement would be having at least one or two of these keys and being clearly superhuman in intellect.

Thing is, if we need to master "most or all branches of science", CH has mastered literally all branches of human knowledge, including but transcending science. If we need him to be able to create advanced technology from household items, I'm pretty sure a guy at this level is smarter than Dr. Stone's protagonist "Ishigami Senku" who does better than that (although in a large timeframe). He is capable of outsmarting absolutely every last human being who has ever lived, and also capable of quickly coming up with extremely complex plans. The only thing he doesn't have is blatantly superhuman calcpower.

Therefore, I suggest that he is moved from Extraordinary Genius to Supergenius.
 
Like Akreious pointed, that's never mentioned. Also, a human cannot have as much knowledge as CH has. It's beyond a human brain's capacity and learning abilities to absorb so many petabytes of knowledge.
 
Even extraordinary geniuses can often outperform supercomputers.

Supergeniuses enter the area of easily inventing an enormous amount of completely impossibly advanced technology within brief periods of time.
 
Yeah I'm with the majority, it's impossible for such a character to exist at all (even with the intellect of all humans)
 
I stand by the fact that Composite Human should be superhuman for one simple thing; everybody in real life is separated. Even if we try to communicate with eachother, we'd never 100% get eachother. All our knowledge would be "incomplete" per say. And with scientific fields as complicated was Quantum Physics, those small differences are huge. Composite Human fixes all that by being the same person; every human knowledge is pooled together and is able to instantly solve most problems with the combined knowledge of multiple fields of science at once. I almost 100% guarantee that if we composite humanity into one being, they'd not only be able to advance human civilization but maybe even at one point defy physics with their knowledge of theoreticals and crap as well as the knowledge to apply it.
 
An extraordinary genius is vastly superhuman and outperforms supercomputers. A supergenius enters the realm of easily inventing completely impossible vastly powerful physics-defying fantasy technology.
 
So basically the reason why CH caps at Extraordinary Genius is because, for being a stretch from real life, he is still limited to Real Life paradigms and wouldn't be able to defy physics on his own verse?

That still kinda puts him at the absolute top of EG, since you could possibly have somewhat dumber people from less limited verses be SG.
 
Well, partially that reason, and partially that even other Extraordinary Genius characters can outperform supercomputers.
 
Late, but I find this thread interesting.

Anyway, I find that CH would fall under "extraordinary genius".
Reason: combined mind/intelligence of every human.
As for context, assuming people here are referring to every human from past to the present.

Now, if its from the first man to last man to exist (at the end of the race, hypothetically speaking) then he would be a potential supergenius or likely is. Possessing a combined mind of 10^12 or so people. He would be similar to Vril Dox/Brainiac.

That would be for COMBINED human, not Composite Human.

But isn’t the original proposal the same thing? I don’t think there are humans who have studied “every” branch of science. Maybe some have studied enough to where they qualify anyways but not all branches.
This thread is old as hell though so idc.
