How to represent intelligence in the game?

It occured to me today that I probably need to revisit some hero files because characters that are genius-level intellects should probably benefit from that in the game.  I'm not sure what I should do though.  Any thoughts?

I know John Jr used a direct power null to "outwit" a foe in his LSH mod, which I thought was pretty clever.

Years playing Heroclix championships....
Guys like Brainiac-5 usually can discover an opponent weak point in the middle of battle, so I used the power null to represent it. I used the name "Outwit" as a homage to the Heroclix power that did the same.

I used a 'find weakness' attack for my smart characters. Been a while since I played the game but it was the power that randomly sets a weakness on the target.

OOOOOHHHHH!!!!! I like where your head's at on that, and I'm definitely loving this topic!

I use "genetic damage" (with various names) for some of my brainy guys as a way to cause extra damage, kinda like finding a weak spot (or creating one)

I think that's the type of attack I used too.

These are all great ideas.  Thanks.

I've often used Alteration to represent an assortment of gadgets. Utility Belt I also use. Now if we could only have more hi-tech items to choose from for Utility Belt...
