Bulma is a super genius. She created a Time machine with limited resources in under two decades by herself, not to mention the Dragon Radar, repairing #16 in record time, rebuilding Kami's old spaceship and even a watch that could miniaturize a human being. No other character besides Dr. Gero can even begin to compare to her in terms of intellectual capabilities and know-how that she can give Buu.

In fact, she's probably the sole reason why Buu is able to study the battle armor he stole from universe 19.

Yeah, Bulma's scientific smarts are a lot different from Goku, Vegeta, or Piccolo's strategic knowledge or battle skills.

Well, her father and, presumably, her sister definitely can. Wasn't Dr. Briefs stated to be the greatest genius in the world in BoG?

Cunning, wisdom, and knowledge, which Super Buu possessed prior to absorbing anybody (except the Kaioshins) are not intelligence.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Good point. I mean, without intelligence, I'm sure Super Boo wouldn't be able to fully appreciate the cunning, wisdom, and knowledge he had already gained.

I forgot her father. Yeah, he would be comparable but it's hard to know which one is the biggest genius. I don't know if he was stated as such.

Well I've got him at Intelligence Level of 75,000,000. He's got SHG3, though, so he's at 30,000,000,000 at full capacity. His daughter, I think, is at 32,000,000,000, giving her a slight lead, but not one that's insurmountable.

What the hell? How did you come to that conclusion? Has the obsession with power levels over the years now officially spilled over to using it as a measuring stick for bloody IQ? The shit really needs to hit the fan about power levels sooner rather than later.

Wait, wouldn't Buu receive a massive power drop from absorbing Bulma? And also a distinct personality change?

Boo's absorptions just seem like simple additions to me.

I'm not sure why an absorption would cause Buu to experience a massive power drop...even the fat Kaioshin didn't really weaken him as much as just tame him.

Except Fat Buu is the weakest Buu, we all know that: Absorbing the Grand Supreme Kai did both.

If anything he should become the sexiest person in the galaxy.

He already can without absorbing anyone. Just a little tweaking to the face and body and boom. Sexy majin.

...maybe that's how female Majins got their look? :O

His power and personality didn't change much when he absorbed Piccolo, for example. He just got a hair stronger and became more eloquent. So I don't see why Bulma should have a unique effect.

How do you know he isn't already? For all we know, out in the cosmos of the DBU, Earthling females are considered hideous, while eight foot tall humanoid bubblegum monsters are considered the most beautiful of creatures.

So how is Kuririn able to be wish back by Earth's Dragon Balls when he was already brought back before?
