Ok if im FORCED to take this seriously the two points above are the main problems with your theory.
Firstly even if we get to the point where we can manipulate genes, intelligence isnt all dependant on genes.
Secondly you have gone from super-intelligence to super-powers. No matter how intelligent this child is and even if it can manipulate its own genes,
you cant make organic cells do things which they cant do.
Interesting theory though.
