Someone who excels at something on a superior level that inspires everyone else who does it. Someone who has the ability to set themselves apart from the competition by doing something the competition has never even fathomed. Some who accomplishes something that becomes a milestone-something that puts them on a pedestal-something that becomes iconic.
The DJ was on the genius tip, mixing between 10 turntables. Vince Carter went flat out genius in the NBA slam dunk contest, with that 360, between the legs slam dunk. Pulp Fiction was mad genius-a drama/action/comedy/horror flick with interlocking stories, that were out of order.
1. Someone who is just intellectually gifted and has analytical skills better than 98% of the gene pool.

One who is both blessed and cursed with superior intelligence. Most geniuses are pretty fucked up, but a small few can rise from the failures of their peers and end up being accepted by society through some factor of conformity.
