For all his obviously high intelligence and more than anything, organizational ability in partly directing the Manhattan Project, Oppenheimer sort of pales in comparison to the true genius and all-around polymath who worked on the same project, and so many, many others. John Von-Neuman.
Even among many other extremely brilliant minds he was recognized for being exceptional. Some of the quotes from other scientists in the Wikipedia link below really hammer home his particularly, peculiarly unique brilliance. I've never seen Oppenheimer described this way.
