Line 3:
== Tony Stark ''is'' suffering from PTSD. ==
At least initially. Okay, the whole PTSD thing is a cover story put about by Stane in order to force Tony out of control of the company; but Tony's actions at the press conference (and shortly afterwards) are quite unstable in many ways. Let's be honest: most people don't cope with stress by building a war suit and beating the snot out of terrorists. (Although if easy-build snap-together war suit kits become available, it may become a popular option.)
* Rumours that the sequel will deal with Tony's alcoholism arc from the comics might support this theory.{{verify}}
* This is a plot point for the comics' version of Tony, as well as the whole rationale for the introduction of War Machine. Keep in mind that War Machine ''is'' in the sequel.
* Yes, he should do something sensible like Bruce Wayne, who dressed like a flying rodent and wandered the streets of his city beating fellow pedestrians to a pulp.
Line 92:
* The man builds an arc reactor ([[Memetic Mutation|in a cave with a box of scraps]] no less), plugs it into his chest, builds the iron man suit and hunts down the people who got access to his weapons without him knowing about it and you're trying to tell me he's not crazy?
** He's crazy in very different ways than Tesla. Certainly he doesn't have the phobias about touching or sex. And he's way too impulsive to have OCD.
*** ''Too'' impulsive? OCD manifests in different ways for different, or even the same people. Being compelled to stick screws up your nose [[
**** [[Completely Missing the Point]] that that's not the kind of OCD Tesla had. And compulsive behavior of ''any'' kind is not impulsive, by definition, whether sloppy or neat.
***** It's not impulsive, but it does look that way from the outside.
Line 99:
== Fin Fang Foom will make it into the movies somehow. ==
Let's face it, Iron Man doesn't have the most interesting rogue's gallery. What he
* A giant Dragon from space ''that talks''!
Line 212:
It makes perfect sense! "The technology they need hasn't been invented yet"- "A strong Heterodyne will take about two hours to truly warp the laws of physics." Clearly, it's not that the tech hasn't been invented, it's just that they aren't Sparks. Howard Heterodyne's breakthrough device was actually a dimension warper. Everyone in Mechanicsburg thought it had killed him, when really, it just dumped him in the 1940s [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]]. He was probably still in the Madness Place when he first encountered people, and so said something unintelligeable including "Howard" and "Spark", which they misheard as "Stark", and assumed that was his name. He quickly realized that as the only Spark, he'd probably live a good bit longer there than back home. We've seen what the nursery looked like, it's no wonder he never went back. The reason he was less into the weapons than Tony is that he saw a chance to get away from all of it, so he could just invent stuff, be famous, rich, etc. Tony, on the other hand, didn't have the experience with the insanity of the Heterodyne family, so he didn't have any real reason to not make that stuff until the movie.
