iron man's origin of building a reactor specifically to power an electromagnet was way more stupid.

and instead of powering a city he used it to power an electromagnet to keep shrapnel from jabbing him in the heart, which made no fucking sense.

Is it? My understanding is that Tony doesn't even know it exists until Avengers.

The one his dad built powered their factory and Tony built a new one to power Stark/Avengers Tower. The vibe I got was that the government wasn't super excited about using it without further testing.

Lol, this.

Plus, both in the MCU & comics, Cap was created by Jewish guys to literally punch Hitler. That's badass.

his dad is the one that experimented with it which is probably how he came up with the arc reactor and tony just continued the work.

in IM2 his dad also gives him the blueprint to create a "new element":

Tony doesn't have powers, his "power" is being very good at engineering/physics. He's otherwise just a regular person.

At least in the MCU Tony made the Arc reactor to power the Iron Man suit, not to keep shrapnel out of his heart. The shrapnel was being kept out just fine with a car battery, though it was a little inconvenient. It's why IM2 didn't make a ton of sense, they established that he could build a reactor external to him to power a suit (Rhodey didn't have a reactor in his chest) and a much smaller and weaker power source could power the magnet in his heart. Why not just take out the poisonous arc reactor and put it in the suit, then use more conventional power to keep his heart from dying?

It's practical.

The part that's silly is that the doctor only made enough serum for one person before getting offed and left no record of how to recreate it.

They already had their powers, they just didnt manifest until that moment. At least SW did for sure, QS might have actually gotten his from the mind stone experiments.

I prefer organic Spider-Man.

It's less farfetched than a poor kid from Brooklyn creating a military grade detaining substance; especially since the US army turned it down and then completely forgot about it.

It's almost as stupid as the army forgetting about the Batmobile from Batman Begins. Apparently, nobody keeps records of anything.

if organic spidey shoot his web out of his butts, then I'll agree.
i never see a spider that shoot webs from their wrists.

Wasn't the whole point that Red Skull actually took the serum first and the reason he was so protective over it was specifically because of that?
