This lead me down the Von Neumann rabbit hole... I don't think I've ever heard of such prodigious level of intelligence
Edward Teller: "von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my 3-year-old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us."
Umm... my guess was Von Neumann probes
I don't think that would qualify as a single character.
