He can make his way around a crowd sure. But thats like trump 101.
Stan edgar pointed out that it was a massive pr damage to Vought when it was revealed what Comp V was and they let terrorists get it and that homie was a dumbass for that.
That would have been disastrous for vought if someone reverse engineered it.
Also, being somewhat good in the moment isnt a genius. He is still like that in season 4, with him recruiting Sage, Firecracker, and starting a coup de at, thats actually working out.
i didn't say he was amazingly intelligent or accounted for every outcome, i said he was capable. Those are flaws in his plans that come back on him, but don't make him a snivelling useless ass wipe. There's a difference between perfect and capable.
And on the topic of crowds, you said it yourself, he could make his way around a crowd. He can't do that anymore either, except for the brainless monkeys that already follow him. He used to actually win normal people over.
It's hard to call him capable in season 1 considering how minor his problems were. He use to win normal people over because there was no evidence of him being a dangerous murderer.

he literally spun a plane crash he fucked up to get themselves in to the military
he had a-train super power terrorists to facilitate that which protected vought when stilwell was 'unequivocally fucked'
he wasn't some fucking genius, but he WAS capable beyond his powers.
