*WARNING* - Spoilers for One punch man manga and webcomic17. Tank Top MasterPeople usually put Puri Puri Prisoner as the weakest S-class, which was true for a time, but recently, PPP has upgraded his strength, while even in the Webcomic, TTM doesn't have any significant feats since his fight with Garou, which gave us good glimpses in how strong he is, but also how strong Garou is. Unless Manga changes this, I’m putting him at the bottom. He is still one of the physically strongest heroes around, is very durable, surprisingly fast and has some degree of technique alongside his immense strength.16. Puri Puri PrisonerAs I said, PPP has hit a power boost recently and has shown to have defeated demon level monsters with ease, while beforehand he struggled with them. He defeated a monster roughly the strength of Deep Sea King without going all out, and has one-shotted a decently strong demon in Vacuuma. He also gained some new abilities, such as vibrations and some degree of regeneration. Still not strong enough to take on Dragons, but he shouldn't have problems with any demons anymore.15. Pig godOne of the more unique S class heroes, I put him so low because while his ability is very powerful and useful, he is kinda one-note weapon, meaning if you can somehow bypass his ability, like if are a ranged fighter, too fast, too tough etc. you can probably beat him. On the other hand, I didn’t put him lower because he still has a great deal of strength, durability and even endurance do to his levels of fat. Apparently he has a technique he saves for God-level threat, but until we see him utilize it, I’m putting him here.14. Metal BatAdmittedly, Metal bat is one of the least skilled S-class heroes, he makes up for it tenfold with his strength. Metal bat has one of the best endurances in One punch man, has indestructible baseball bat and what is most important, his fighting spirit or as he says it-getting pumped up, makes him stronger the more damage he gets. That doesn't mean he is unbeatable, because he is, but if he is left unfinished for some time while he is getting damaged, his strength can get close to infinite levels. If he is left to cool down, he will succumb to injuries, and if he is one shot teď before he can get stronger, well…there are many opponents who could one-shot him. That is why I can’t put him any higher. Still one of the coolest heroes.13. GenosGenos is one of those heroes that is hard to rank because he is constantly getting uprgrades, but I put him here because some of the factors always remain the same-he is fast, he is strong, he has amazing destructive capability… and he is also a glass cannon when it comes to Dragon level opponents. When it comes to his durability and endurance, even classical demons can somewhat hurt him, and when he faces Dragon level threats, he usually comes short-Carnage Kabuto, Goketsu, Elder Centipede, Furher Ugly, Gums…. I imagine he can defeat some low-dragons, such as Bakuzan or maybe Phoenix man, but not stronger ones until we see what his post-Elder Centipede upgrade can do. He can still fight demon level threats pretty effectively and as of late has shown that he can put them down relatively easily.12. Drive KnightThe whole character of Drive Knight seems like a better version of Genos, even if we don’t see him too often. He has apparently never lost a battle, and his Tactical Transformation can transform his body in a way he likes or can be used to create weapons of his liking. He have only seen this briefly, so who know how many forms and weapons can he create. We still don’t know anything about his speed, durability and endurance, so I won't put him much higher.11. Amai MaskLet’s face it, Amai Mask is a S class hero in all but a name. On that note, he is one of the most well rounded heroes out that-super strong, super fast, has a degree of martial arts, has a degree of regeneration, has pretty great endurance… He is not a freak in those categories, such as Darkshine, Flashy Flash, Zombieman and Metal Bat, but that still gives him pretty good place on this list.10. ZombiemanI was debating who should I put on this place, Amai Mask or Zombieman, but his fight with Pureblood put into stone how crazy his regeneration is. He is not unkillable, but he is damn near close to it. Destroying his heart, his brain, his whole body, turning him into mince-meat… Nothing works. Probably the only way to kill him is trough some incineration on molecular level from DBZ. Thanks to his regeneration, he was even able to defeat Carnage Kabuto in Virtual Genocide Simulation after the latter exhausted himself after a week. Unlike Pig God, however, he is not a one note fighter, as he has mastery of several different types of weapons, and even some degree of superhuman strength.9.Atomic SamuraiBy far the biggest glass-cannon in the series, without his sword or against an opponent that can multiply or regenerate, like Black Sperm, Atomic samurai is a little more than a nuisance. With his sword, however, there is very little things he can’t cut. He has insanely fast drawing speed, and quick enough reflexes and hand-movements that he was able to stop an attack from Sonic and pull his sword to cut monsterized Haragiri, although his sword was away from him and Haragiri’s was almost on his neck. Best support hero indeed, although not as useful in all situations.8. Watchdog manWe don’t know much about this guy, but what we do know is very impressive. He is a sole protector of the Q city, the most dangerous city in OPM universe, meaning he probably ofter deals with Demons and Dragons by himself. He easily chased of Hero Hunter Garou, without being very serious about it, although that fight was a bad match-up for Garou. He is very mysterious for now, and that is why I don’t put him higher, because we don’t know about his durability, endurance, but we can guess that is fast enough for Garou and that his strength is pretty high, but his range is kinda lacking. Maybe when we see more of him, I would put him higher, but for now…7. Child EmperorContrary to popular belief, he didn’t enter S class simply being smart, although that is the main reason. Bonus chapter actually revealed that his physical strength in on the A class level, but biggest factors are his gadgets. In his backpack, he seemingly has a gadget and a device for every situation and opponent demon or below. But for dragons, he busts out his Brave giant. Although it doesn't last long, his Brave giant is capable of fighting dragons such as Phoenix man or horde of reanimated Subterraneans. And his Millennium Emperor Nova attack is one of the strongest attacks we have seen in the series, far stronger than anything Genos has shown. Take into account that he is either the smartest or second smartest hero in the verse, and you got yourself a high S class hero.6. Superalloy DarkshineArguably the physical strongest S class we have seen so far (aside from King), Darkshine boasts one of the highest durabilities in OPM universe. His skin and muscles are almost impenetrable and he himself stated that he doesn't know a way to hurt himself. He can take shots from high demons like Big God, parts of building falling on him, and even take shots from pre-woke Garou without any defense. He one-punched Big God into oblivion, broke ribcage of pre-woke Garou, defeated bunch of Tigers by running trough them and tanked the most shots from Awakened Garou, except Saitama. Only downside is that he isn’t all that skilled fighter compared to some others on this list, and his speed isn’t anything special either.5. Flashy FlashWhat Darkshine is in terms of physical strength, Flashy is in terms of speed. He is easily the fastest hero, outside of Saitama we have seen, putting guys like Sonic to shame. He is also an expert ninja assassin and one of the best fighters in S class, maybe right behind Bang. He one-shotted two dragon-level ninjas who prepared precisely to defeat him. He is also pretty durable for his built, tanking two shots from Awakened Garou before falling, while most others only took one. Lastly, outside from Boros and Garou, no one has faired better in a fight against Saitama better than him. Webcomic never confirmed he moves at lightspeed, but I think Manga is heading in that direction.4. SilverfangArguably the most skilled hero in the world when it comes to hand to hand fighting, Bang is a legend for a reason. He is essentially the better version of Amai Mask, being adapt in every category of fighting-speed, strength, technique… but better. Dragon level monsters usually aren't a problem for him, but if they are, he can bust out his Abandonment breathing technique, which boosts all of his previous powers to insane degree. With that he can one-shot basic dragons and is implied to be able to defeat the ones he had no hope of defeating in his normal state, like Elder Centipede. I still don’t think he is as strong as Darkshine or fast as Flash, and even think that Flash might defeat him, this is a list of objective strength, and Bang is just more well rounded fighter.3. Metal Knight.Remember that robot with super powerful missiles? He has at least hundred of those, if not more of them. Remember when A city was destroyed by Boros’s ship? Metal Knight cleaned it and built new headquarters for Hero Association in a week, while it was estimated that it would last for 10 years. He is mentioned to have been on of only 4 heroes being able to defeat Elder Centipede by himself, using his technology that not even HA doesn't know the extent of. Who knows, maybe his fighting droids are just his fodder soldiers and he has much stronger ones hidden for his own protection? He is one of the most mysterious characters in the series and definitely one of the strongest heroes. If heroes had a threat levels, he would possibly be God.2. TatsumakiNeedless to say, Tatsumaki is damn powerful. Sure, her esper abilities are only thing she has, but she really doesn't need anything else. Her feats are too many to count, so I'll leave it with this - she managed to move Saitama. For a while, at least.1.BlastWe haven't seen this guy in the series yet, but judging by everything that’s been said about him, we can assume that either he is Saitama’s equal, or the closest thing we will get to it when it comes to heroes.0. KingNeed I say more?This is a guy that regularly beats Saitama in fights, brings monsters into submission just by staring at them, puts fear into 4 dragon level monsters, and even commands respect from Tatsumaki.I hope I helped.

Think.First let’s define nowhere.This means that person X, has gotten Y knowledge not from study but from some nondescript place.It could be that the person is born with that knowledge, it could be that it got from inspiration, it could be that it got through reasoning.Second, let’s define scientist/professor.I think it is fair to agree that this is someone with an advanced degree of education in some science. If I’m not mistaken the median age of a PhD should be about 30 something.Data for UNESCO seems to confirm this.I’d say that with good discipline, motivation, and a very high IQ one should be able to finish said studies 10 years earlier at least and 15 years earlier at most. Notice that I’m already talking about prodigy level IQ.Now, let’s explore a couple of mechanisms as well:Divine Inspiration[1]Let it be said that there is no known physical mechanism to get knowledge from the void.Although absence of evidence is not evidence of absence—there could be such a mechanism—at the moment we have not confirmed anything particularly like it.Said inspiration also has to be human and culture specific.I previously wrote an answer on why telepathy is impossible given our knowledge of the physical world: Will humans ever evolve to use telepathy?Thanks to Christian Erhardt for finding it!Random Neural SearchIf we contemplate knowledge as a configuration of neurons, and in complete ignorance of the brain’s master learning algorithms—if there is such a thing—we could say that there is a neural pattern for specific types of knowledge.Let’s assume that just by random luck—instead of that learning algorithm—this person’s brain stumbled upon Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.A stroke of genius, I mean, luck.This is akin the infinite monkey theorem[2], in which a monkey randomly typing an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text. Including Shakespeare’s work.As you can imagine, this looks stupid, but it’s not stupid.Shakespeare’s longest work is Hamlet, it consists of 29,551 words in 4000 lines. Let’s say each word is about 5 or 6 characters long—in my Hamlet pdf the average is 5,44. Then those 29,551 words become 160,827 characters. The brute search space for that is in the order of 27^160,827.A monkey typing one letter per Planck time will have tried 8.1^60 characters since the beginning of the Universe. Although this is a really fucking fast monkey, he will have covered a meager 0.0…(230140 zeros later)…9 percent of the total Hamlet search space.Mind you that this does not count for spaces, valid words, total length or even punctuation marks. What makes it even worse, is that we do not know how neurons encode this data. The proper configurations for those axons and dendrites could be much much more complex.The size of the proper search space is beyond the scope of this answer, needless to say it is cosmically immense.It looks stupid, but at some point in infinite time, the monkey will have written Hamlet. Laborious? Yes. Stupid? No.Genetic Neural SearchHowever, there is such a thing as natural selection and it seemingly allows for specific neural patterns to be selected, this is how nature has selected certain animal species to be able to perform certain complex acts—like walking—soon after birth[3].The same does not hold for human beings, even less at the level of complexity implied in your question, which—for the sake of argument—is more or less:Having structured knowledge in a human-codified domain.How would the knowledge of a hypothetical avian scientist look like? Or better yet how would the knowledge of a blind species look like?Having structured knowledge in a culture-specific domain.Not only there needs to be compatibility at the basic symbolic acquisition layer, but then you have symbol specifics which are culturally derived. Why would your brain represent said knowledge in arabic numerals instead of roman ones?At least until the moment when through sufficiently advanced medicine we manage to find a way of encoding specific neural networks into DNA, this won’t happen.Just for the sake of argument, I’ve coded a light genetic algorithm in Rust that will search for a specific random string 160,000 characters long. One could say that Hamlet is just one more string in a 27^160,000 alphabetical search space.At generation 0, the algorithm “finds” a string 3.69% like Hamlet’s.At generation 11, the algorithm is already at 4% similitude.It is just a matter of time until the algorithm converges on a solution 99.99% just like Hamlet.So—technically—one could say that the principle of selection can more or less “find” a large random string in a huge search space.Of course, neural development is not as simple as a genetic algorithm mating, selecting and killing bits with apparent randomness. There are more steps involved from genetic crossover to gene expression and fetal neurodevelopment.Yet the principle holds.And if a newborn horse is 3% more able to walk after birth than others, he might be 3%—or more—able to survive. On the long run, this advantage could compound until a newborn horse is 100% able to walk right after birth.But how do you select people to recite Hamlet after birth?There’s massive underpinnings behind the ability to develop language. I’m willing to bet that those underpinnings are vastly more complex than those involved in early motricity.Motricity requires your motor neurons to fire in certain patterns given certain inputs, the “symbolic layer” involved seems to be primal. It is the layer between your muscles and your “motor commands”.I’m largely ignorant about the subject, but language seems to have no such “primal” layer. It does have specific brain areas that seem to be tuned to “catch” language.The symbols involved in language seem to be built upon layers and layers of previous neural processing.So natural selection in that case, will not only have to select for a specific configuration of symbols, but also for the layers and layers behind those symbols.Selection of language. Selection of structure. Selection of specific bits.If a single layer mapping like the one in the genetic algorithm has a cosmic size search space, imagine a multi-layered one. The algorithm could in principle select for this, but the time-scales are multi-universe sized.What nature has done is—somewhat—select for symbolic processing power, which allows certain individuals to learn how to acquire those layers fast. Instead of selecting specific knowledge, it selected algorithms which allow the acquisition of said knowledge.Precocious language acquisition is a sign of high IQ. In my case, I learnt how to read when I was 2 years old. My reading speed increased throughout the years, the way I processed that information shifted from what was mostly verbal modes to highly visual fast saccadic processing.I did not acquire knowledge from “nowhere”.It was building upon layers of previously acquired symbols. When I was a kid I pronounced the words, vocabulary was being built constantly; once it reached a certain level, it aggregated. Words upon words, images, meanings, word frequencies, etc.The brain reconfigured itself.So no, while there seems to be a way of selecting neurons to perform certain tasks, no one is killing toddlers that can’t recite Shakespeare.Although—in principle—we could theoretically kill quadrillions of babies until we manage to produce one such abomination. Nature is wise and won’t allow such extinction-level draconian selection.And while higher level symbolic processing appears in the population, human selection is highly multi-dimensional and does not[4] seem to be selecting towards intelligence population wide.It is more likely that a physically attractive, aggressive, impulsive, psychopathic person will have more kids—albeit at a lack of rearing—than a civilized, modest yet handsome, highly educated, responsible person.Although one could argue that this would be an example of a sort of r/K selection theory occurring in humans. This is why I previously say “somewhat” select for symbolic processing power.Even so, at high levels of symbolic processing power, even the most intelligent of humans have to build up their knowledge from somewhere. John von Neumann became a Privatdozent when he was 25.For a child prodigy to have such level of knowledge at age 3 or 4 would require a species level rank up in intelligence.I highly doubt that biological intelligence of that level is possible, if you want to explore why, reading Israel Ramirez’s answer to Is it theoretically possible for biological evolution to produce a brain more intelligent than the human brain? might enlighten you.Personally, it reminds me of Spielberg’s movie AI.“David, I often felt a sort of envy of human beings... of that thing they call 'spirit.' Human beings have created a million explanations of the meaning of life... in art, in poetry, and mathematical formulas. Certainly, human beings must be the key to the meaning of existence. But human beings no longer existed.“The Specialist talking to DavidLike the robot boy in the movie, we have been designed—by evolution—to be young. What kinds of knowledge would we be able to acquire if given a lifespan of a billion years? In a sense, we’re like an octopus, smart yet too short-lived to achieve anything.A non-biological intelligent organism would have no such limitations regarding time and/or space. It could grow Dyson-sphere size until it reaches some primordial physical limit.Who knows.Note: yes, it’s been two months since my last answer. Hey there! Even got into YCombinator in that time.Footnotes[1] Divine inspiration - Wikipedia[2] Infinite monkey theorem - Wikipedia[3] Altriciality - Wikipedia[4] Selection against variants in the genome associated with educational attainment
