if given enough time could tony stark solve all mysteries of the universe?

subpar spatula · Jul 4, 2019

so tony stark is a certified nerd. he can solve time travel, fix extremis as if it was a elementary science fair, nano machines without the facilities and knowledge of vibranium, fixes random space ships, etc.

what can this walking deus ex machina not solve?

Human intelligence is finite.

Akira86 · Jul 4, 2019

he fucks up about a good 1/4th of all of his endeavors, like HARD.
collateral damage even.

DrForester · Jul 4, 2019

Left to his own devices he nearly caused the end of all life on Earth...

Snormy · Jul 4, 2019

Perhaps but at what cost? What state will the universe be in once he is done tearing it apart to see how it works?

thesoapster · Jul 4, 2019

No...

He's dead

Doggg · Jul 4, 2019

He doesn't seem to have any aptitude for magic, though.

A small sacrifice to pay for salvation.

BasilZero · Jul 4, 2019

With what happened in Avengers Age of Ultron, nope.

Imagine Iron Man by himself against Ultron if the Avengers didnt exist.

Kitsunelaine · Jul 4, 2019

could tony stark burp all the letters of the alphabet

-JD- · Jul 4, 2019

He probably would've destroyed the universe before then. He fucks up a lot.

Maybe his kid will learn from the mistakes her father made though...

Vincent Alexander · Jul 4, 2019

He'll solve whatever the plot needs him to, and fail whatever the plot needs him to as well.

Yes but Hulk and Thor could do it better.

Dude is not even the top3 smart people in the marvel universe

NOW Reed Richards absolutely would.

In the mcu, he is. He is smarter than banner.

super-famicom · Jul 4, 2019

Pretty sure Reed Richards would beat Stark to it.

nitewulf · Jul 4, 2019

Kapryov · Jul 4, 2019

Has he found a cure for cancer?
Has he found how to transfer said cure to the real world?

Clearly not. So no.

odiin · Jul 4, 2019

No because of the fifth Pirates of the Carribean film.

Bitanator · Jul 4, 2019

Is this the same thing as asking with enough prep time, could Batman kill God?

Vincent Alexander · Jul 4, 2019

MCU tries to make Banner out to be smart, and smarter than Stark when it comes to specific areas. But then 9/10 MCU film plots fall into Stark's expertise. It's kind of annoying how little they let the other smart characters show off.

And soon they will introduce the fantastic 4 in the mcu and Reed wil summon Stark's soul just to say "so i heard you said you are the number 1 smarted dude on this planet. So I have been outside of this dimension and planet for a while now you are number 2" like pym (?) did on that classic panel

Bitanator said:

Absolutely
And it is shorter than you might think
(tip: Batman was on the funeral of an Endless)

Shy · Jul 5, 2019

As Ratchet said. "Take it easy. You're only a genius on earth, pal"

I am a Bird · Jul 5, 2019

Given infinite time I could solve all the mysteries of the universe. Or at least destroy the universe and rebuild it in a less mysterious way.

Chrome Hyena · Jul 5, 2019

He isnt even the smartest on Earth.

Soj · Jul 5, 2019

The guy who poisoned himself for no reason and gave his home address to a terrorist?

Nah.

Shuri gives him a run for his money. Remember what she said about Vision. Hell she was single handedly going to undo the shotty worksmanship of the mindstone in Vision that Tony and Bruce did.

Oh right, forget about Shuri.

she made nano tech with vibranium then literally a year later tony makes it with no vibranium or advanced tech. his suit is even more impressive than BP's as well. i think Tony has a mind that can adapt to any knowledge to the point where he gains 10 iq a day for no reason. dude never even reads books.

TheSkullPrince · Jul 5, 2019

All he needs is one night!

Barn · Jul 5, 2019

I don't know about him, but his magic deus ex machina computer probably could, at least if we're going by Endgame logic.

"Nope, can't do time travel, it's totally impossible."

Later that evening...

"Hey computer, how do time travel?"

"Here you go, bruv, it's time travel."

Falchion · Jul 5, 2019

No, he'd absolutely manage to blow us all up while trying though.

I don't think he could even solve all of our problems.

Why would he need vibranium when he has his own element though?

Actually they literally say like 90% of how to time travel, they only need him to find a way to stabilize it

This was annoying. They really needed to rush through the invention of time travel as quickly as possible? It's a three hour movie. Give us a montage at least. Make it feel like he actually had to work for it.

And then Rocket's quip about Tony only being a genius by Earth standards. Which I guess means that time travel is NBD on other planets right?

To be fair, they're pretty clear that Stark has no idea how Pym particles work and can't replicate them, despite Hank Pym inventing those in the 1980s, and discovering the quantum zone not long after that.

No, he cannot see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

isnt implied that iron man suit on infinity war is using shuri's tech?

PrimeBeef · Jul 5, 2019

As with anything comic related, it depends on who writes it. Plus it would be his computers doing the work.

Verelios · Jul 5, 2019

Nah, go ask Reed Richards. I find it hard to believe he's even in the top 5 smartest in MCU.

Grapezard · Jul 5, 2019

He's only a genius on Earth, pal.

Tony Stark is a Mary sue.
