.So can a merely bright person (convincingly) write a genius character?

Are you talking about convincing readers who are non-geniuses?

Genius is really a label that’s meaningful only in retrospect. I think there are acts or contributions of genius, as people not so much. There are many very smart people who never contribute anything of note.
