Fictional characters are only as smart as their authors and any constraints placed on said authors by their publisher and the like. Hence why despite the abundance of intellect in comic book universes, universal basic income and healthcare don’t exist, while crime and cancer still do.
edit: Fun story- One arc in Marvel a bunch of heroes and villains get magic moral reversals. One is Tony Stark. He sets up nanobots in San Fran to give people the bodies they’ve always wanted, then charges them a hundred bucks a day to keep it. The implication there is he could have done this for free or super cheap at any given time and just… didn’t.
Beyond that… Imagine being a trans person and just being completely changed over or no longer being paralysed or growing back a lost eye or whatever. Bruh I’d be fist fighting Spidey to keep paying.
Anyhow they resolved it by like, blowing the planet up or something stupid like that. Comic books lol
Oh boy do I have some news for you on how stupid some fictional characters get.
