While it doesn't have the same feel, there are many brilliant characters in Herbert's Dune novels (only read the first 1, 3 or 6 which Frank Herbert himself wrote, depending on your tolerance and enjoyment)
Lex Luthor in Elliot S. Maggins' _Superman: The Last Son of Krypton_ is of course brilliant, as is the novel.
Isaac Asimov's Dr. Susan Calvin of his robot stories
E. E. Doc Smith's Richard Seaton

Some other comic book characters to mention:
Brainiac 5: A member of the Legion Of Super-Heroes who is from the planet Colu. He has a 12th level intelligence (normal humans have a 6th level intelligence) and he has been described as having a computer brain. Despite his name, he is not an android although he is related to the original Brainiac (Superman's enemy).
Vril Dox: The founder of L.E.G.I.O.N. (a space based security force) who is both highly intelligent and utterly ruthless.
Mister Terrific (Michael Holt): Considered the third most intelligent man in the world.
