Not saying that that there are not intelligent good guys, but their intelligence is rarely what is highlighted or celebrated about them. It’s normally a side note or a quality leveraged by their more mundane alter ego rather than their more publicly visible super identity.

Something that always bothered me about comics is how the bad guy was almost always the intellectual who used their brain to solve / create problems while the good guys solved conflicts by punching things.
I love it! This one is on the wall of one of our favorite restaurants.

I should have been more specific. With a few exceptions (e.g. Reed Richards and Charles Xavier), the intelligence of the protagonists is mostly not revealed to or celebrated by the comic public. We, the reader, are aware of it, but their intelligence is not generally celebrated within the comic universe. What they are celebrated for, mostly, in the comic universe is their physical capabilites. I always thought that this his sends the message that intelligence is not as useful as being physical capable and / or that intelligence should be kept hidden and is not something to showcase or be proud of.
